    If you’ve ever wanted to visit the Adirondack Coast, I have some good news for you. Late last year we decided to purchase a new property north of Rosslyn, and as of last month we’ve launched an AirBnB that we’re calling ADK Oasis (www.adkoasis.com as well as www.airbnb.com and @adkoasis). (Updated in 2019 to ADK Oasis Highlawn to distinguish it from second adjoining vacation rental we’re calling ADK Oasis Lakeside.)

    Susan and I have been variously involved in the vacation rental market for a few years. I developed a luxury property called Maison Margaux in Paris’s Faubourg Saint-Germain almost two decades ago, and Susan and I launched Adobe Oasis (www.adobeoasis.com) is Santa Fe, New Mexico’s Historic Eastside in 2013. We’ve come to believe that the distinctly authentic and immersive travel experience made possible with well designed, well located, and well maintained vacation rentals is one of the best concepts in travel accommodation. And given the somewhat slender “bed base” in our region, we’re hoping to provide an alternative for visitors eager to discover the Adirondack Coast lifestyle.

    Commanding a panoramic view of Lake Champlain and Vermont’s Green Mountains, this totally private vacation rental is nestled into into lush landscape on seven lakeside acres. Renters rave about the revitalizing rhythm as much as the view. And the fire pit in summer, fire pit in winter. With a well stock, open plan kitchen, you’ll love chef-ing up locally produced ingredients. With kayaks, paddleboard, snowshoes, and all sorts of revitalizing activities waiting for you, we’re hoping that you’ll fall in love with ADK Oasis, your very own Adirondack sanctuary on the Adirondack Coast.

    Here’s a sneak peek at our ADK Oasis Highlawn vacation rental.

    Ssshhh… We’ve been keeping a little secret. Very, very soon we’ll be launching another vacation rental on the Adirondack Coast. A little north of Rosslyn and directly adjacent to our existing ADK Oasis Lakeside vacation rental we’ve been working on an exciting project that we call ADK Oasis Lakeside. With four bedrooms (max 8 people), 3.5 bathrooms, a super accommodating kitchen, window filled living room with a handsome stone fireplace, a dedicated office, an outdoor hot tub overlooking Lake Champlain and sooo many decks (and a master bedroom balcony), our visitors will be pampered from the moment they arrive.

    We’ve been beavering away since last summer, 2-3 shifts of contractors daily, often 7-days a week, to meet an ambitious timeline. And we’re down to the final weeks!

    It’s premature to share photographs yet, but I will soon. Until then, enjoy these renderings by our friend and architectural draftsman extraordinaire, Tiho Dimitrov (www.dimitrovdesignstudio.com).

    The first / top image above shows you what awaits you when you descend the private treelike driveway. Just before you arrive at the shore of Lake Champlain, you’ll pull at at a gravel circle in front of this welcoming property. The second / lower image is looking back up at the property from the lakeside lawn. Intrigued? We hope so!
