Sitting majestically in Essex County is the 1850 Adirondack country home, that is The Alpine Homestead. It is tucked neatly between the mountains, brooks and pines in the small Irish community of Olmstedville, settled in 1810, in the town of Minerva.
The Alpine Homestead is minutes from world class skiing at Gore and Whiteface Mountains. Accessibility to many, many trailheads for winter activities of snowshoeing, cross country skiing, hiking, or snowmobiling is very easy. With 3,000 lakes and streams in the Adirondack Park unlimited opportunities for water sports are available year round. Come and enjoy this ideal location.
Upon arriving at The Alpine Homestead, you will be warmly received by innkeepers, Barry & Peggy Mix. From the warmth of the wood burning stove in the great room to the tranquility of the formal sitting room/library; opportunities abound for an truly unique experience at the Homestead.
The home replicates a bygone era of simplicity yet is elegant in it's decor with antique furnishings and polished original woodwork throughout.
The area promises a good time, no matter what your interests are. There is hiking, canoeing, horseback riding, antiquing, cross country and downhill skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, fishing, hunting, rafting and of course, relaxing or napping on one of the enticing couches or chairs in the great room or on the wrap around porches.
After a fun day of exploring, return to peacefulness of The Alpine Homestead. Linger in the common areas, check out the news or the score of your favorite sports team or select a DVD for your enjoyment on the large-screen TV.
As you prepare for the evening, allow your hosts to suggest enticing places to eat. We are very happy to arrange reservations at the dining establishment of your choice.
