The East Branch of the AuSable River borders the property for 1/4 mile. A New York State Scenic River Corridor, the river flats, the trees along the river bank and the Jay Wilderness Range of mountains in the distance combine to make an inspiring backdrop.

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.
