Old Forge, New York
Our family has just purchased this beautiful home. The shell was built in 2016 and we have started to complete the interior finish. We have spared no expense. We are taking reservations starting October 1 2017. We will make sure that construction and the furnishing of this home will be complete well in advance of that date. It will be complete with a custom bar, custom wood fireplace, washer dryer, central air, gourmet kitchen, fully furnished. I will update pictures as progress continues. We are new at this so please feel free to ask questions. We will be sure to make your stay comfortable and memorable.
Beach access, lake rights, boat launch and on snowmobile trail.
Everything about the home was amazing. Great Adirondack vibe. We’ll definitely be back!
Very nice
We got check in information a couple hours ahead. The place was clean and had just about everything we needed including bedding, towels, and some paper products. It had both a keurig and coffee maker. We will be booking this place again for our trip next year!
Beautiful property- everything was as expected.
This is our second time staying here for a weekend in August, meeting other family staying in the area.. We love the house and it's proximity to town, yet the feeling of being secluded. There was a mechanical issue with the entry upon arrival. We were able to reach the owner who was very helpful and figure out a way to bypass it. We were able to get in within a few minutes and find a breaker had tripped. We will stay here again!
We had no communication of how to get into the house until after 5pm on the day of arrival (check-in was 4pm) when the owner finally answered my 2nd phone call. We switched to this property specifically because the women wanted central air just to find out the central air wasn’t working. We discovered this after running the air for 4 hours and the house seeming to get hotter. We didn’t bother the owner with it at that point because it was late and because temps were in the 50’s at night and every room had ceiling fans. Owner must have known and simply didn’t bother to communicate that to us because a tech showed up Monday morning to repair the problem. I sent the owner questions by email prior to our trip that have yet to be answered. One of those questions was about toilet paper, paper towels and cleaning supplies. After arriving we had to go back out and get paper towels and toilet paper as the house was basically out. Would have been good to know that before we got there. I Asked the owner a question on day of departure by text about where garbage should be left and have yet to hear a response back. Turns out the town has a dump spot that was easy and convenient but wasn’t mentioned at all in the owners instructions book. We spent almost an hour trying to figure out the garbage situation. Much of the aggravation could have been alleviated by better communication from the owner combined with better instructions from the owner. All in all it is a great property and very close to town.
First, I've stayed on this property once before, last year, and the experience wasn't too bad. Around the property needs some cleaning, and the inside is in pretty good shape, but during our current stay (7/11/2022 - 7/14/2022) we encountered multiple issues: 1. We did not get check-in directions until the morning of our travel. However, it did come before the scheduled check-in time of 4:00PM. Communication before a stay is typically non-existent from this owner, even after attempting to make contact multiple times. 2. As we were driving in to the property, the owner let us know that the downstairs bathroom was out of order. The morning of our first day is the FIRST we hear of this. This happens to be the same bathroom gave us issues last year as well. It is located very close to the septic tank connection. The toilet water is often discolored from sewage back up. The sewage smell in that corner of the basement, and the bathroom, is noticeable. Needless to say, we were out one of the three bathrooms, and was not offered any compensation for the inconvenience. 3. Upon arrival, the property's WiFi was not working. My wife needed this connection to do some remote work while on this vacation. It was one of the many reasons we choose this property. I contacted the owner about the WiFi and he informed me it should be working. He called AT&T to check into the issue. Since the owner was not in town, I was tasked to speak with an AT&T representative to resolve the issue. I spent most of the first day and the morning of the second day working to fix the WiFi. It ended up that the SIM card in the router was deleted from the owner's account and a new one needed to be installed. I patiently waited for one of the owner's employee to show up with the new SIM card. I installed the new SIM card and the WiFi signal was restored. It wasn't very good WiFi, but we were back in business. 4. After contacting the owner to express my displeasure in how I spent the first few days of this vacation, he simply said it was out of his control, and he didn't anticipate this issue. I did not receive a discount, refund or another stay as compensation for the issue. Needless to say, I was extremely disappointed in this response. Overall, the treatment I received was not at all what I expected and this turned out to be the WORST experience I've had in the town of Old Forge. A town I've visited every year for the past 35 years.
We got just what we expected, a nice house to stay in while we experienced the Adirondacks. The house is clean and has lots of space. Some minor issues are there is poor lighting and the kitchen cabinets don't have handles. Overall we had a great experience and love the Adirondacks!
This house is very nice. Very spacious. I would recommend bringing own towels and sheets, otherwise everything we needed for 4 days was there. Less than a mile to water park we will book again.
This is a very lovely rental with the interior nearly completely done in knotty pine. It was advertised with 4 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, but the basement bath was located very near the septic tank connection. The toilet was discolored from sewage back up. The sewage smell in that corner of the basement was very strong. The owner gave us a warning about an electrical problem involving a GFI outlet frequently tripping the grinder pump. This outlet was connected to the sewage pump. The downstairs bedroom was at the other end of basement and did not contain the smell. The sewage issue seemed to have been a long-term problem, yet to be resolved. The basement floor was noticeably cooler that the rest of the house which ruled out walking barefoot on it.
