A family home, shared

“I was married here. My children were raised here.”

Stissing Lake House has been my family's home for more than thirty years. It isn't a rental property. It's a hundred-year-old country house, filled with antiques and a restaurant-quality kitchen, with the lake and the mountain at the end of the lawn. Sharing it with you is how we keep it in the family.

Slow weekends

Coffee on the porch, a paddle at dawn, the fire pit after dark. Ninety miles and a world from the city.
