Property Description

A Turnkey Restaurant and Lodging Property in Upper Jay, NY A cornerstone of the local dining scene, this turnkey restaurant and lodging property combines a successful culinary operation with Adirondack-style vacation accommodations — all on a scenic 1.8 acre parcel along the East Branch of the Ausable River. The 3,855 sq. ft. building includes a renovated commercial kitchen (2020) with a dedicated septic system, 10' hood, new True Refrigeration, high-temp dishwasher, plus a new roof (2025), new windows (2019), and a backup generator. Inside, the restaurant seats 30+ with an additional 12+ seasonal seats on the wraparound porch. A strong takeout business and loyal customer base support consistent year-round activity. Upstairs, the 5-bedroom, 2-bath Adirondack-themed vacation rental is part of the property's 7-bedroom, 3.5-bath total layout, which also includes a sitting room and billiards room. The entire lodging component holds a 4.9-star rating on Google and offers significant growth potential through expanded bookings and private events. Additional features include a two-story barn with workshop and storage, a finished 14×10 office with rental history, a 30'x90' fenced garden, on-site parking for 30 vehicles, and 250 feet of river frontage. Just 6 miles to Whiteface Mountain, 15 miles to Lake Placid, and 5 miles to Keene.
