2023-2024 Seasons! Booking Now....Large Private Home in the heart of Old Forge

This was, without question, the worst rental experience my family and I have ever had. The listing was highly misleading, and the property was far below any reasonable standard for a vacation rental.Upon arrival, the house was extremely dirty. There were accumulations of dust everywhere, including under the beds. The couches were stained, filthy, and covered in grime. The refrigerator still had food residue and leftovers from previous guests. My wife had to clean it before we could store groceries, as there was no other option.The exterior was also unacceptable. The entrance and walkway were covered with uncollected dog waste, making it unsanitary and unpleasant to enter, showing poor maintenance.Several essentials were missing or inadequate. No proper bed linens were provided on arrival, and we later found them still in the washing machine. One bedroom was unusable due to water damage, and another had no heat.There were major maintenance issues. A strong odor from the basement spread throughout the house. The hot water tank broke during our stay, requiring repairs. Several dining chairs were broken and unsafe.Parking was misrepresented, with no space for large trailers and shared areas leaving insufficient parking. Privacy was also a concern, as a neighboring tenant repeatedly entered or attempted access without permission.Additional issues included a small 36-inch TV and an entrance covered in snow and ice, creating a safety hazard.

did not have A/C as advertised. only 2 bedrooms had window units.

We enjoyed our stay. Could use little bit more cleaning however overall a great time! Close to town and walked to fireworks. The caretaker Ron was extremely nice and considerate. Thank you Ron for walk down memory lane of Union and Monmouth County. You are special man!!!

The house is one block from all star shops and dining but still has a secluded yard with fire pit. Some things in the house could be updated but everything was clean. Really great location for families. Property owner was responsive with any questions we had. worked and was clean

Walk to town. Close to all there is in Old Forge. I had cleaning to do. The home had not been rented in months. The house was big and spacious. Many places for family and grandchildren to sleep. The upstairs renter Ron was friendly and very helpful. The owner let me stay later so I cleaned and laundered the whole house. This house is pricey but if you need a lot of space and want a walkable stay; this is the ticket. The home was built in 1936. Lots of built ins. Would recommend for large families who are not picky.

The property is very nice, but we didn’t get to enjoy it. My younger daughter, her husband and son couldn’t make it because they had Covid. My wife and I arrived Thursday and were waiting for my older daughter, her husband and two children, when I decided to test myself for Covid. Of course it was positive so my wife and I checked into a hotel for the night to quarantine from my daughter’s family. Our visit to Old Forge to celebrate with 25 family members was officially ruined so we all drove home the next day. Our host Manzurul was very sympathetic and we are waiting on some kind of refund from him for the 3 nights we couldn’t stay

Location to the town was perfect. House is big so lots of room. However, not enough toilet paper, trash bags or paper towels. When I called the property manager I was told to go and buy them and save receipts. For the price of this property I should not have to do that. Also the dishes were dirty so we had to wash before use but good thing I brought paper plates and plastic silverware. The upstairs neighbor was very nice and assisted us with a fish hook injury (Thank you Ron). House could have been cleaner and dog poop in yard should have been picked up. Do watch out for deer poop, we all did enjoy watching the deer!

Plenty of space and perfect location!

Home worked out very well for our extended family being convenient to all the Old Forge village offers.

The photos of this home must be 20 years old!!! This home was not as expected! Run down!!! Cob webbs in all corners of the home. Grass not mowed under the picnic table. Fire pit was a disappointment. No garbage bags! Had to go buy them. TV - The remote would not work correctly- couldn’t use it. The beds were not comfortable. On the positive side it was big enough for a large family! And close to main street.
