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.

A great trip.
Our family has never visited Old Forge before. The property owner worked with us and made sure our stay was special. The house is close to everything and had everything we could ask for.

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.

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.
