This property was amazing! Very clean and the location was perfect for family/friend gathering. We stayed two nights and definitely could have used more time. We had issues with our stove but this was quickly resolved. The property manager’s uncle and aunt were staying in the cabin out back and were quick to help us out when needed. They provided towels, sheets, toys for the kiddos and everything imaginable. They even left us with a welcome basket and extra bottles of water. They went above and beyond for us. Checkout was easy and despite me checking, no extra cleaning by me was needed. Thanks Nick, we are already planning next year!

Great house!

We stayed here for our trip to Old Forge and could not have been happier. The house was clean and well stocked and the hosts were friendly and helpful when needed. The house was perfectly located near town so we were able to walk many places. We'll be meeting this in mind for future trips!

Great get away for the eclipse

We had a wonderful stay in Old Forge for the April Eclipse. The house was cozy and clean and provided us with everything we needed to be comfortable and close to the action. Would definitely stay here again. Nick was super communicative and gave clear detailed instructions upfront on anything we’d need for the house.

Perfect Location

We had a wonderful time at this vacation home. We can't say enough good things about our experience, starting at booking the home, to staying there and even when our time came to a close. The owners and manager were just wonderful. The home was centrally located in Old Forge. Close to the beach, parks, Enchanted Forest/Water Safari, Bald and McCauley Mountains, Restaurants, coffee, trails, shopping, and more. The place was clean and comfortable with loads of charm. They even set out a basket with a bunch of different treats and left some cold waters in the fridge. Our grandkids were in heaven. The property manager was so helpful and accommodating, even checked in on our stay to make sure we were happy. We definitely recommend staying here!! We were all sad to go :) Mike&Barbie Broedel

Old Forge/ADK vacation

Convenient location and nice camp/house in the Adirondacks. The location is within walking distance to shops in Old Forge, the public beach, water park, brewery etc. and a short drive to other ADK towns, hiking trails, canoe/kayak experiences. Communication with the host (Nick) was top notch. Check in process was explained well and very easy. By chance we met the owner on our last day there and he was very friendly and pleasant to talk to. Plenty of sleeping space and area to relax. Ammenities met our expectations (wifi, washer/dryer, linens etc.). The wildlife was fun to see in the mornings and evenings, as we sat by the fire. I would recommend this property and location.

Great time in the Adirondacks

My family and I really enjoyed our stay. The convenient location to the beach and water park was nice. Enjoyed nightly visits from deer as we sat by the fire pit. Property was clean. Communication and check in process were very easy. We enjoyed the gas grill and used it daily. Had a great time.

Excellent vacation rental

We really enjoyed our week at this property. The home was very clean which made for a comfortable stay. It is really a great location as it is close to town, but still offers privacy and access to the trails at the end of North St. The property manager was very responsive and fixed any issues we had. We would definitely stay again!

Old Forge Getaway

The house was conveniently located for walking into town, biking, and accessing the Moose River for paddling. There was some noise from the neighbors late one evening but otherwise pretty quiet. The house was clean, well equipped, and very comfortable for our group of two couples. The property manager was very responsive. We would definitely stay there again.

Very Comfortable and Clean

My contact person was very accomodating and nice. We were coming in on a holiday. He allowed us to check in early and even left us cooking supplies to help with our dinner. The place was very clean. I walked around in sock feet and was comfortable in doing so. He went above and beyond checking on us to make sure everything was ok and we were enjoying ourselves. We became buddies with one of the locals. ( A deer that came to visit us every morning). LOL . The home had everything you would need. Beds were very comfortable as well. I highly recommend the place and we will try to reserve again in the summer as it is a 5 minute walk to Water Safari and Slickers.

Great vacation

Close to everything. We walked to Enchanted Forest one day (2 minute) walk, walked to the beach every day (5 minute walk) and went downtown every day (5 minute walk). Very comfortable accommodations. Nice yard and sidewalk for the kids to play. Playground right up the street. If you are going to stay in Old Forge for a few days, this is a great option. Owner was very accommodating and attentive.

Enchanted stay with our grandkids with easy access to Enchanted Forest!

Beautiful and well maintained property! Made our weekend stay with family relaxed and extremely comfortable. Nice Adirondack feel about this home. Looking forward to our trip back to Old Forge Area next summer! Pleasant surprise was our rain day trip to Blue Mountain museum with our 2 toddlers. Plenty of hands on activity for them there.

Why they chose this property

This property has been in my family for generations. It is ideally located for any family or group wanting to do a little of everything the Adirondacks has to offer for every season!

The property is adjacent to the Enchanted Forest Water Safari amusement park and is a short three minute walk to the front entrance of the park for the perfect summer family day. Heading less than half a mile up the street, renters can stop at the Pied Piper for ice cream or a quick lunch or dinner or head to Old Forge Beach for a day of swimming and sun. Heading down the street a quarter of a mile, the recreation center highlights festivals and shows throughout the year. The playground, soccer fields, and an outdoor basketball court provide great opportunities for free family fun any time of day. About a mile up the street, there is an easy access point for canoeing and kayaking on the Moose River as well as bike trails.

All of the attractions, shops, and restaurants of Old Forge are a short walk or car ride away from the property.

For the fall traveler, the house offers a cozy return from a day of hiking and taking in the breathtaking scenery of the fall leaves on one of the Old Forge area's many mountain trails.

In the winter, the house is perfect base camp for the avid snowmobiler. The property is located directly on the snowmobile trail and offers plenty of parking for multiple snow mobile trailers.
