Old Barn: A warm and fun vacation place.
Built a hundred years ago, with stalls for six cows, a hayloft with bale hooks on a trolley and a milk shed with cooler. As a Guest Barn for visitors it makes a cozy accommodation with rustic charm--odd size windows, part rough barn boards, some original interior doors. Pine and concrete floors with oriental and rag rugs.
New Barn: Comfort & Convenience.
On somewhat higher ground in back of the lot, looking as much like a barn as possible, New Barn commands a good view of the river, fields, the old Stone Houses and the Jay Mountain Wilderness in the distance. A large friendly kitchen adjoins the living room with granite hearth fireplace. Lots of rugs, quilts and Indian blankets. Bedrooms in back where it's quiet. 1829 Stone House: A LandmarkAdirondack Home
A Federalist building with classic balanced exterior statements, it was built as a manor house for its prominent owner. There are ten well-lit rooms with original door and window trim plus full attic and basement. The interior is in original condition except that only two fireplaces remain. (Take the 10-page Tour and leave some time to visit with us on your Fourpeaks vacation/getaway.).The 42-acre farm (CLICK HERE for Birdseye View) is borderd by the East Branch of the AuSable River for over 1/4-mile. The old path down through the river bank made years ago for watering cattle on the farm now leads to a rustic river beach, a picnic table, and a swimming hole only a short walk across the meadow in front of the house. There are pebbled shoals and "islands" to explore, swimming/wading and floats from Upper Jay to the Covered Bridge in season. And the drama of the spring thaw. 
The Stone House Flats are a prominent feature of the nearby landscape. Good for walks and picking meadow flowers. CLICK HERE for Elm and Cottonwood and open space by the AuSable River. CLICK HERE for the AuSable River Spring Thaw.
Beavers live and work nearby building in thickets of pine, popple and red alder. CLICK HERE for photos of Beaver Swamp.
The farm field in the Fall is an immense patch of milkweed. The dry stalks and flowerets last well into Winter. CLICK HERE for photos of Stone House Farm field.
In the pine groves behind the farm, the old woods road leads to "Corner Ledge," the large granite
promontory that marks the corner of the lot--a 1/4 mile climb--with pretty views, a picnic place. CLICK HERE for trail notes to Corner Ledge plus map.
Daughters of Utopia: A new novel that takes place at Fourpeaks Backcountry Camps.
Author Moss Krupnick's fast-moving adventure story is about strong women, black belt karate, a Utopian nature retreat drawn from our Adirondack wilderness camps, and an insular Northcountry community very much like Jay NY. A fun way to learn about Fourpeaks from the perspective of a big-city visitor.

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 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 links so visitors know before they "click" exactly where they're clicking to. Your comments or suggestions will be equally appreciated.
