The check-in office is located in this building, as well as a large pantry and commercial-style kitchen with lots of storage for food and kitchen supplies! Everything is immaculate and very well-organized.

The living room has an attractive stone fireplace with a new wood-burning insert. The master bedroom, which has been beautifully remodeled, and one of the full baths are located on the second floor and affords great privacy away from the hustle and bustle of the inn. Lovely hardwood floors run throughout the apartment and are coupled with tasteful paint colors on the walls making the entire apartment a wonderful retreat!

The property a very large garage which is perfect for storage of lawn equipment, outdoor recreation items, etc. There is a loft above the garage. Next to the garage is a cottage which has a new metal roof. The cottage has been gutted and plans were made to renovate, but at this point it's still a clean slate just waiting for someone to put their personal touch to it!

Lots of upgrades have been made to the Ark Trail Inn since the owners bought it 6 years ago including upgraded electric in the house and motel, new roof on the house, cottage and part of the motel, newly insulated motel and house ceiling, 3 new septic tanks, 2 new furnaces, new siding on the house and back of the motel, and 10 new motel doors. A long list of inventory is included with the sale of this property.

The inn is located in a perfect area. Close to the trailheads in Keene and Keene Valley for the hikers but also not far from Wilmington and Whiteface for the skiers. It is also located within a two hour drive to International airports in Albany, NY, Burlington, VT and Montreal, Canada. Lake Champlain and the ferries to Vermont are about a 40 minute drive. The Ark Trail Inn has appealed to outdoor enthusiasts since it first opened in the 1950s including many groups and businesses that come back year after year for their get-togethers and meetings. It also boasts many repeat individual guests as well! The inn is a thriving business and can be whatever a new owner might desire it to be! All pluses and no minuses make this a tremendous opportunity!
