Great Camp on Old Forge Pond – A Family Escape to Remember

Tucked away on the serene shores of Old Forge Pond, this great camp gave our family the perfect mix of relaxation and connection. From early morning coffee on the dock to evenings around the fire, every moment felt like a step away from the noise and a step closer to each other. Best of all, it was just a short walk into the charming town of Old Forge — perfect for grabbing ice cream, exploring local shops, or taking a spontaneous stroll. It was the kind of getaway that turns into a tradition.

I was disappointed that there where no towels and the sheets could only be used in an emergency. I didn’t bring any lines or towels because I thought they were provided. I had to purchase linens and towels. It cost me approximately $200. It would have been nice if we knew how the transfer station work regarding recycling. Also didn’t know there was no laundry equipment and found out we had to go to local laundromat. This wasn’t too bad once I figured how it all worked. I did enjoy the location of the camp and the fact it was on a lake. My grand children had lots of fun fishing and learning how to row a boat. The camp was 5 minutes from water safari and this was a bonus. The unfortunate thing for me was l left two bath towels there that I purchased.

Camille, I am sorry there was a miscommunication about linens and laundry. The listing does show there is no washer or dryer, or sheets and towels. That being said, had you contacted me when you arrived, we could have worked out a solution to avoid your expenditure. We did find your towels and will be happy to send them to you. I will contact you privately for arrangements. Nancie

We'd stay again...

Great place, everything was beautiful and quaint. Very peaceful and relaxing. We had musical entertainment from across the pond and fireworks. The wild life was amazing to experience, thankfully we didn't have any bear issues like the neighboring home. The location couldn't have been better, walking distance to all the town attractions and the water park. I will recommend if you have problems with sleeping on hard surfaces, bring eggcrate foam or mattress toppers with you or nap on couch. And the only drawbacks were: 1. The parking situation is little dangerously nerve wracking, with how close to the road and blind turn that people come flying around. 2. No mention of the 17 stairs from road to house, not a place to stay for the physically challenged. 3. Not enough flat surface in yard for corn hole game. 4. No mention of there only being 1 television in the house in the description. 5. Lack of power source in the bathroom. It did however beat getting 4 separate cabins or tenting for the holiday weekend. Thank you very much to the owners.

Nice view but.....

Stairs did hinder the participation with family. I was prepared for stairs to the pond and found no problem. However stairs to parking and bringing our luggage and food Dow was really hard for us. My husband and I (88 and 74) are relatively healthy but found ourselves limiting our outside activity because of them.

Nice house and location!

We really enjoyed our stay. The house had plenty of room with lots of dishes, pots, and pans. We enjoyed fishing off the dock, kayaking, and walking right into town in under ten minutes! Thank you for helping us have a g family vacation!~

Lovely setting, well-equipped kitchen, great indoor and outdoor space, nice/helpful owner.

Property was described with "Linens provided" - they were not! We contacted the owner and she was able to provide them. The full bath was only accessible through one of the bedrooms, but this worked out OK. We would rent here again! Our group of 4 couples had a great time!

We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay in the Pond House and Old Forge. I am sorry for the confusion about the linens. In the general listing, "Linens provided" was followed by 3 dots, which meant there was more information, expanding it showed just pillows and covers were provided. It is also explained in the rental agreement contract. To avoid future confusion, I have removed the amenity completely. Thank you for bringing that to our attention.

What a wonderful Adirondack vacation!

Location, location, location -- this cottage has it! From the private dock, you can see the very top of the Enchanted Forest water slides and hear live music at night from across the lake! But it always feels peaceful...and nestled in the woods. We had two families (four young children), who walked into town for ice cream along a waterfront path, paddled kayaks and canoes -- and took a trip up to the Wild Center. Mom took a great yoga class nearby at The View, a lovely arts center. Enjoyed drinks on the dock at sundown, dinner on the deck just off the kitchen, then headed into the screened-in porch, overlooking the water, after the kids went to bed. It was a wonderful retreat and family time -- we saw plenty of deer walk through, heard the loons over the lake, and the highlight was the morning spent watching an egret, who came to the pond on the property for her breakfast!

Fantastic cottage, great location

Our family had a great stay at this cottage! We enjoyed spending a lot of our time swimming in the lake and relaxing on the dock. Having a canoe and kayak available was also a nice plus. The location is a very short walk to Old Forge (equivalent of a few blocks). We were able to easily hop on our bikes and explore town as well as go for a ride on Tobie walk/bike trail. The cottage itself was a nice size for our family (2 adults, 3 kids). We regularly cooked our meals at the house. Having a nice gas grill to cook on was another plus. The owners are extremely nice and were quick to respond through the whole process.

Great Escape !

We loved staying at this property, such a great location ! Wonderful lake views and easy walk to town. We so enjoyed our morning coffee on the deck and cocktails on the dock ! Our three kids had a blast fishing, swimming and taking out the kayak that was provided, we even rented a SUP board for the day from the marina just a short walk from the house. You can never go wrong with a visit to the Adirondacks and we felt this property was a great value.
