About Us
We love the Adirondacks and everything that makes this place special. Snowboarding is our true obsession, especially if our nieces and nephews get to join! But if it’s an outdoor activity — hiking, rafting, rowing, biking — chances are we’re all in. The only exception? Too much sun… that’s when Courtney is officially out! More trees = happiness.
For us, the Adirondack mountains are about adventure, fresh air, and making memories, and we’re excited to share our little piece of the mountains with you.
