    This was our second annual snowmobile couple getaway in Old Forge and this chalet did not disappoint. From the moment we stepped into this property we were in love. The Christmas decor was still up and it just made it even more special. The kitchen was stocked, the rooms were all very clean. The sheets were cleaned and ready to make our beds.The owners were kind enough to search for our friends wedding ring after we left, which thankfully he found.The one and only complaint we have is that the weather did not cooperate for us. We were unable to snowmobile :( . We made the best of it, played games, shopping in town and having a delicious meal at Billy's and the best breakfast at Ozzie's. We highly recommend this property and we will be back next year!!

    This beautiful home up on the hill is in a neighborhood, but it's secluded within trees so it feels very private. Came home to a doe chilling by the fire pit one day, which was delightful. It's close to town but nice and quiet. We took jaunts up to Inlet for some extra shopping, and did a boat tour of Raquette Lake, and had a wonderful time.

    This house is absolutely beautiful. It is true to the Adirondacks. It had everything and more of what we needed for a comfortable weekend. It was about a 20 minute walk to town. The house was very clean and stocked with all the essentials such as coffee, toilet paper, snacks, dishes, utensils, cups, glasses, pans and so much more. I am very picky about the houses that I rent and this did not disappoint. Just book it. Also had a high chair and a baby gate. P.s. great wrap around porch..

    We had a great stay at this immaculate home! Upon entry, we all agreed at how clean and beautiful it is! We had kiddos ranging from 2-8. We are somewhat locals to this area so we had plans set in place for most days! We did not end up going to the private beach as we found being close to the playgrounds at inlet and OF worked better with our littles. The homes location is very much up on a hill from Hollywood so longer bike rides with littles was difficult but they made due with the road the house is on! The neighbor was lovely across the road. The homeowner was very efficient, kind, and understanding with answering questions and trying to problem solve when anything came up. The kitchen is full of any cooking tool you need and has a dishwasher! There was plenty of room on the deck to eat outside every day, we even had a tree frog come and hang out with us for a couple days! In the summer you can’t see the water but you can hear it ? ?. I’d love to see the view in the fall/ winter! I would say the property would be perfect for families with older children verses younger, more rambunctious little cousins just due to being up on the hill they got a bit restless at times (but that’s always a preference thing and not all kids act as ours do haha)… the separate living room is great and was nice to separate everyone at times. Overall it was a great experience and we are so grateful for our little get away! Thank you, thank you!
