This place is awesome! I feel like the pictures don’t really do it justice. The kitchen is wide open to the family room with a great island and the dining room table sits 8-10 ppl. It’s so close to town, as well, BUT it doesn’t feel like it. The property manager, Jason, was so prompt with my questions, and was a true professional. I HIGHLY recommend this sweet house!

The location is perfect being close to the shops, restaurants, and water Safari and yet was private and peaceful along the river. The kids enjoyed the sand pit, the adults enjoyed the kayaks. WiFi was great and the kids could watch all their favorite cartoons. Beds were very comfortable! It was just like being in our own home!

The location of this home is within walking distance to Old Forge. We walked downtown a lot. The deck and view of the Big Moose River was enjoyed daily. Many visitors from the river came bye. Snapping turtles floated bye, Ducks, ducklings, geese, a Raccoon, River Otters and many Deer. The living room was big enough for all of us to sit and enjoy movies. If I texted Jason; I had a return text quickly. One day the power went out and he made sure we were fine. Thank goodness for the generator! I’ll miss the mornings at Guides enjoying my cup of coffee with the visitors from the river.

This house was perfect for my young family and our friend’s young family! (4 adults, 2 toddlers, 1 infant, 1 dog). The location on the river was very unique. House was clean and easy to entertain in.

Beautiful cabin. The decor and choices made in the home are just perfect and really bring the Adirondack lifestyle to the cabin. The location was excellent. We were greeted by 3 deer in the driveway upon arrival! The decks are awesome!! Very quiet, dead end. Great location, so close to town and so many things to do. Now, if it had just been a little warmer, I might have jumped in that river for a swim!! Great host. Jason was SO accommodating and responds very quickly. He was so gracious, especially when my guests and I accidentally locked the cabin keys in the cabin when leaving! I HIGHLY recommend this cabin! Wonderful weekend! Thank you Jason for your hospitality!

Traveling as a family with a four year old made this property perfect for us. Not only was it in a great location it also had a wonderful supply of toddler activities like the sandpit outdoors, a variety of books and toys, and utensils for little hands. The check in process was seamless and the homeowner had wonderful suggestions for things to do.

We really enjoyed the location of this property during our stay. It is located right at the edge of the main part of the village, which allowed us to walk to numerous restaurants, shops, mini-golf, ice cream, etc. The kayaks and waterfront was great, the kids loved going out on the river. The inside is still being updated, but for a camp/cabin on the river it was fine. There was an excessive amount of air fresheners (in our opinion), but we simply unplugged some and it was good.
5.0
It was a great house in good central location to main village. Nice to have the kayaks and paddle board for my whole family to use. Super family friendly, quiet area right on the water. We had very helpful and quick responses from the host. They provided lots of information on the area which was very well done. Super to have multiple rooms, laundry, and bathrooms with a family. We would definitely come back again!

Jason has put a great deal of effort into updating this historic family home. With a comfy bed at night and the pretty sunlight on the river,, it is truly relaxing. Convenient to groceries, ice cream and mini-golf without being right in the crush of traffic within Old Forge.
The plumbing is still a work in progress. We did experience issues, which the owner responded to very promptly. As expected with an old house, there were some smells and idiosyncrasies here and there. But the location right on the water made up for these and really allowed us to enjoy all that the area has to offer - hiking, chairlift up McCauley Mountain etc.

This is a great find for a family. Location is awesome, the owners were responsive and so nice, I appreciated the high chair and pack n play for my youngest kid (they also had a stroller available which really is so convenient) but my older ones loved the paddle board and kayaks. We had plenty of room for all 4 of our kids. A really nice little family getaway. Besides using the kayaks and paddle board we also visited the local amusement park, spent a lot of time on the lake with our boat and went to Moose River Farms for a Lhama trek. Highly recommend.

Family get away
We had an amazing time. Location is great on a dead end road but still within walking distance to everything in Old Forge. Fastrac is a 1 minute walk and my teenagers liked walking there for $1 cappuccinos. I loved reading my book on the deck it was so peaceful! We also enjoyed kayaking and paddle boarding in the moose river. Host was okay quick to respond with questions. House was beautiful and extremely clean and spacious. Five stars all around!
