A Note for Light Sleepers
The home is located near active train tracks that are used only a few times each day, including one or two early-morning passings. We find the trains to be part of the area’s unique small town charm, but understand they may be noticeable to lighter sleepers.
Both bedrooms are equipped with sound machines to help provide a comfortable and restful night.
At Off the Rails Lake House, you can slow down, reconnect, and enjoy the simple pleasures of waterfront living. Spend your days exploring Lake Champlain and the surrounding Adirondack region, then return home to relax on the deck just yards from the water.
We can’t wait to host you at Off the Rails Lake House.
