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.
Spent a few days at the house and played golf with friends. Great location that is near the restaurants and bars. Everything that you need is in walking distance!
Although a little dated we found the home to a perfect winter lodge. There was plenty of parking and the neighbors were very helpful accomodating 3 trucks and snowmobile trailers. Once we settled in we were able to walk anywhere in town. We enjoyed some good times in the large main Dining/living room before venturing out. The bedrooms were large and comfortable. Two of the rooms were adjoining but you had the option of seperate enterances. The kitchen had plenty of pots, pans, dishes and impliments as well as all the kitchen standards found in most homes. Only real minor complaint was the uneven heating but thats to be expected in an old home. We found that if we left the bathroom and bedroom doors open the home heated much more evenly. We plan on spending another long winter snowmobiling weekend there again next season. Looking for Great times with great friends, this is a great place to do it.
This home is in the perfect location; right in town and I’m walking distance to stores, restaurants, the TOBIE trail, Maple Ridge exercise trail, Moose River and Lake front, the movie theater etc. With a few tweaks this place would be top notch; it has great bones (hardwood floors, built in bookcases with tons of games etc), but new linens/bedding/upstairs mattress (needs to be replaced (major sagging)/replace or paint dated wallpaper this place would be even better. The kitchen is older/dated but provides more than everything you need. I saw other people complain about seeing the unfinished basement when you come in, but that didn’t bother us because it wasn’t like we were hanging out in the entryway. With just a little love this place could be a premium property. The living space is great! Large family table for board games and living room is large with ample seating. There is plenty of parking and a fire pit out back. The enclosed front porch was one of our favorite rooms. The house is shared but the tenant is helpful and friendly. If you are looking to come to old forge with your family I would recommend this place. Five stars with a little bit of updating!
Close to lots of different adventure opportunities, and an easy walk to “downtown” Old Forge. Plus you get to watch the backyard deer and see evidence of a wandering bear. Bring your own washcloths.
I was told the grill worked and it did not
Disappointed - needs updating. We knew the home was old, but the steps are decayed and not safe. Entryway smelled, dirty and the whole house was musty. It was missing a bed! Property manager had answering service and didn’t seem to care that we didn’t have enough places to sleep our group. The owner said he wasn’t even aware a bed was missing. We had to buy a blow-up to sleep everyone. We found out from a contractor that the roof leaked in that bedroom as they were repairing the roof. The contractors were very noisy and their language was totally unacceptable around our kids. Mattresses we did have were hard and very uncomfortable. The tub in the upstairs bathroom is curved , slippery and dangerous. Had several close calls and one of us did fall. Best part was the location. We enjoyed the large yard including the fire pit. In summary we will not rent here again. The place was not worth the price we paid and we have been coming to Old Forge for 60 years. Disappointing!
We arrived to what we expected would be a private whole house to find a weird split entryway leading to another apartment and our 'section' of the house. Also in this entry way is an open corridor leading down to a musty smelling basement. Inside the house, we find previous water damage in the ceiling of a bedroom. It appears they stopped the leak but never replaced the ceiling tiles and any other damage caused, this is in the room we planned to have our 1 year old daughter sleep (not any more!) The smell of mold/must was overwhelming. in addition, large open grates lead from the living-room (mostly as pictured) to the musty basement (not to ducts, directly to the gross basement). We discovered all of this in the first 2 minutes of entering the apartment. We go upstairs to continue our investigation and find a door to another apartment, behind a curtain, in the hallway. This was the final straw, and we booked a hotel a left. I contacted the property manager with these concerns and heard nothing back for 2 days. Also contacted VRBO for a refund (since we paid for a whole house, not a dirty apartment) and they refused as well.
The property was not very clean when we arrived. The beds were made and no dishes or garbage but everything was dusty, cob webby and the floors were pretty dirty. Especially under the beds. The property needs new furniture and some updating. The Tennant was a little rude and annoying as well. The best thing it has going is its large and can fit a big family comfortably.
