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!!!

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.

Autumn memories

Having experienced decades of Old Forge vacations and not having been there since before Covid, we were eager to return for another autumn vacation. We had gorgeous weather, the camp was perfect for our group, communication with the owner was great. We'll be back.

Wonderful long weekend

Our family of 5 had a wonderful experience making this vacation property our home-base for a trip to Old Forge and Inlet, NY.  One fond memory/experience -  I was able to take our 8 year old daughter out on First Lake at 6:30am to observe Loons cruising and making calls.  Carl was attentive and quick to correspond.  We would recommend this place to other families.

Amazing Experience!! Highly Recommend

We stayed at the Cozy Chalet for 4 nights and we couldn’t have asked for a better place!! The house had everything we needed and we are planning to book again next summer. The memories we made will last a lifetime. We can’t thank the host enough for offering up such a wonderful place to stay in the Adirondacks!!

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!

Loved our stay here. The deck on the property is fabulous - you are part of forest and see the lake through the trees. We had deer visit every day, and even had three full bucks resting ten feet from the deck. Close to everything but quiet, and all we needed was provided in the home. Highly recommend.
