Beautiful location with lake view and access. Cabin is cute with a woodsy yard and Adirondack style furniture. We enjoyed the fireplace and the outdoor fire pit. Close to town. Some work needs to be done on the exterior ( painting and staining). Indoors, property needs cleaning in the closets where we found mouse excrement.

This was our 2nd year in a row staying at this location. We loved it! The proximity to Old Forge is very convenient while giving you the feeling you are in an out of the way area. The location of this house is the perfect quiet getaway. The view is beautiful with plenty of outdoor seating. The accommodations were very nice and the kitchen gives you plenty of supplies. We enjoyed our stay!!!

Perfect Vacation Location

This property was perfect for us who were there to relax, enjoy the views and play golf. It had everything we needed and the location was perfect. The owners thought of everything including the extras. We enjoyed the beach, the restaurants, gift shops and of course the magnificent fireplace at night.

Wonderful Chalet

We had a wonderful 5 days in this cozy chalet located near everything the Adirondacks has to offer ... gorgeous views, hiking trails, lakes & streams for watersports, restaurants, museums and more. The chalet was very clean and Carl was readily available to answer any questions we had. I highly recommend this property.

What a great place!

My daughter and I stayed at Carl’s place for a few days to see the eclipse. The chalet is absolutely lovely and we loved waking up each morning to the sunrise & the trees and the view of the lake…it was magical. Carl was nothing but wonderful and is there to make your stay memorable. Would definitely recommend!

We enjoyed our stay at Carl's place! The beach pass was a great feature. Fire pit and deck were great as well.This was our first time using VRBO, so I'm not sure if this is typical on VRBO, but it did feel like much more of the burden of cleaning fell on the guest vs other places we have stayed.Overall, a great experience. Thanks, Carl!

Could not have asked for more with this property

This house was amazing. My son and I stayed here to snowmobile for the weekend. The property manager, communication, parking, house and decor, location, neighbors, everything was beyond anything I could've imagined. One of the nicest VRBO rentals I've ever had!! I'll be bringing my entire family on the next trip and we'll be staying here again!!! Thank you!!!

Made my vacation

Place was very clean. It was better than the pictures showed online. Will be staying here again for sure. My family had a blast. Carl was responsive. This place made my vacation for my family as we were very comfortable coming back to this place after long days. It is very private and everything worked including the fireplace. Highly recommended!

With its excellent location, this cottage was an ideal home base for our fall exploration of the lower Adirondacks. Comfortable and well-kept, it has a rustic, no-frills charm. The first photo is outdated; as seen in other pix the spacious living room has a sofa, recliner and two arm chairs. The attractive log furniture throughout suits the setting perfectly. We made use of the gas fireplace to chase the chill of rainy mornings and evenings. The wooded property with views of First Lake is pretty as well as private; we thoroughly enjoyed this peaceful location.

We had a wonderful weekend at this property. Everything was exactly as shown and included everything could need. It’s located in a nice quiet area with beautiful views, the leaves were gorgeous and the deer were a wonderful addition. Carl was very responsive and helpful.

Winter wonderland

We rarely see snow at Christmas so we went looking for it. We found exactly what we wanted in this cozy chalet. The house was described accurately; we had everything we needed whether it was making meals or extra blankets to cozy up on the comfortable couch. The house was big enough for our two teens to have their alone time yet close enough that we still felt together. The neighbors we met on walks were kind and showed us around the area. The drive to town was minutes away and we were able to dine, grocery shop, and rent skis with ease. We would like to visit again during the summer and would happily stay here again.
