Private waterfront spacious home, 1/4 mile to Water Safari & 1/3 mile to village
This newly renovated lakeside camp has lots of sleeping accommodations, and ample family space with a vaulted great room and huge deck. The large lawn leads to a dock that can accommodate 4 boats. Adirondack chairs surround a fire pit lakeside for smores at night. 3 kayaks, two paddleboards and a canoe for your use to explore the lakes. Incredible views, and a family room with a Ping-Pong table provide fun for everyone. Five-minute walk to the waterpark keeps your car in the drive, and no fighting the mobs. Also, less than five more minutes on foot to the heart of Old Forge, and the bars and restaurants. Close to the most important snow mobile trails and a quick drive to McCauley Ski Mountain.
Also, full kitchen and large dining area for nights at home and on the gigantic deck, while you take in the lakefront sunset views and watch the deer walk up the lawn. Swim from the dock, in sand bottom shallow water.

We enjoyed our ADK week with our family! The lake view was fabulous! We were lucky to spend July 4 on the lake with front row seats to the amazing town fireworks! The location was convenient to town, as well as to other drivable beaches. The house was cozy with a retro decor. We were a bit disappointed with the small size of the grill. However the use of the canoes, kayaks, and paddle boards were a great perk!
We loved the view, dock, and boating amenities that included kayaks, canoes and paddle boards. That was the best part. Proximity to downtown was also great.For the money we paid, however, we felt the house was outdated (appliances etc) and needed a larger kitchen, dining area and table for a house that could hold 10 ppl. There were only two full baths, and the third bathroom (no shower) was in an unfinished basement. The house needs a larger table outside too to fit 10 guests and needs to have a coffee maker that could make 10-12 cups. A keurig /French press is nice for a small group, not large groups.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
Overall, the VRBO house was good. The positives: location on the lake and town. Our host was very responsive to my texts. The negatives: while the inside of the house was clean when we arrived, the outside was not. The decks, tables and chairs were not clean, large spider webs in corners and lots of duck or goose poop on the dock and in the yard. Also, candy wrappers were in the backyard as well. The outside light to the front door did not work.
Walkable to EVERYTHING, comfortable beds, sweet welcome basket, excellent communication. very accurate description of the property and house, we can’t wait to go back!!
I am still day dreaming about our week at Old Forge and I cannot wait to get back there! The house was centrally located and walking distance to all that Old Forge has to offer. We loved sitting by the fire at night listening to the live music playing across the lake. The house has that perfect time capsule charm that you look for in an Adirondack getaway! The owner was extremely helpful and responsive with any questions we had and the whole check in- check out process was a breeze! Thank you for a wonderful week of memories to last a lifetime for my family and my parents! We will definitely be back!
This property offers something for everyone! We had 9 people ranging from 10yrs old to 60+yrs old, and we all enjoyed our week. We had mixed interests across our three families, so the location was perfect. We enjoyed going into town for shopping or dining, the waterpark, hiking, fishing, birding, swimming, and relaxing by the fire pit. The house itself was very clean and much more charming than the pictures showed. We had one issue during our stay and Drew was super accommodating and responsive. I already miss it!
Thank you for your review. It was a pleasure hosting you and your family.

About the host
Hosted by Andrew Ward
We both grew up in Upstate New York, and spent many summers as kids, and now as adults in Old Forge. We love to ski the mountains, boat the lakes and hike the trails with our three kids.
Drew has a law practice with an office in town, and we love being part of the community.
Why they chose this property
This lakeside home has the unique quality of being private, but only a couple of minute walk from all of the action. The beautiful setting with incredible sunsets and wildlife is relaxing.
What makes this property unique
There are few places on the water that are this close to town, while still being a private setting.
