Inside, the warm and inviting interior features two spacious bedrooms, a full bathroom, a well-appointed kitchen, and a cozy wood-burning stove perfect for crisp Adirondack evenings. The enclosed porch, with direct access to the expansive front deck, serves as an ideal gathering space, complete with built-in storage, bench seating, and a wall of lake-facing windows that seamlessly bring the outdoors in. Enjoy the charm of lakeside living with the convenience of Tinney's Tavern, a beloved local favorite just a short stroll away along the water's edge.
