The Adirondacks hold a special place in our hearts.
Molly's great-grandparents became members of the Ausable Club in the 1920s. It was a honeymoon destination for both her parents and grandparents. Molly grew up going to the family camp, Tree Tops, on the Upper Ausable Lake every summer.
Ryan's family has lived just outside of the Adirondack park for over 100 years. Ryan grew up hiking the high peaks, skiing at Whiteface Mountain, and boating on Lake Champlain. He has been going to Tree Tops since 2010.
Our relationship blossomed while spending time together at Tree Tops and the Ausable Club. We hope our guests get to experience a piece of what makes this place so magical to us.
