We Love It Here in Jay N.Y., the Heart of the Adirondacks!

A Love Story.
We're in love. It all started in 1968 with just "The Cabin" and 90 acres for weekend getaways from work in New York City. Today, 40 years, six more camps and 600 acres later, we're renting our places for others to enjoy--our retirement business-- offering outdoor vacations in authentic Adirondack settings. We're in love (with where we live) and we want others to experience High Peaks open space and scenic beauty (as much as possible)--even if you can't stay with us this time! [MORE ABOUT The Fourpeaks story. How we found "The Cabin."]

Visit Jay on the AuSable. Want to get away from the crowds and tourist junk in Lake Placid? If we can't find something for you here at Fourpeaks, we hope you'll stay someplace else in Jay or nearby Wilmington. You can still enjoy our AuSable River valley open space and scenic beauty. Make this lovely area your Fourpeaks Base Camp!
The Fourpeaks Base Camp. On the East Branch of the AuSable in the scenic village of Jay and in Wilmington just on the other side of the mountain, things are much quieter and more relaxed than in Lake Placid and the busy tourist developments immediately around the Olympic complex. Here's our selection of the best Alternate Accommodations right in our neighborhood. And they're all close enough, visitors can easily arrange with us for a Fourpeaks Day-use Pass. It's our Fourpeaks Base Camp, attractive Adirondack places you can stay at if Fourpeaks doesn't suit you.
We've handpicked them for your vacation pleasure--cabins, cottages, lodges, plus a wide selection of fancy vacation homes with real jacuzzis and more. Here's a place for every sort of interest and pocketbook. Places to fit even the teeniest budget. All modern amenities. Inside flush toilets, of course. Many with big-screen TV. And they're not all secluded away (stuck out in the woods) like our Fourpeaks backcountry camps. No hassle getting to--they're right on the main road. And these places are built close enough together, you'll get to meet lots of friendly folks right next door. The kids will alway have someone to play with. Tell 'em we sent you. Thanks.

Whether you're an experienced webmaster or just a novice surfer, you may have feedback or suggestions to help us improve. We well remember the visitor a year or so ago who complained about the unpleasant glare from the HTML default royal blue links. That lead us to entirely revamp our background and link colors, making them softer, more eye pleasing. And the Florida expert who warned us about frustrating visitors with blind links. We followed his advice and now carefully identify each link so visitors know before they "click" exactly where they're clicking to.
