We had a wonderful relaxing time. The home is beautiful and plenty of bathrooms! Everything was exactly how their write up read and very easy communication and check in and out process. We’d go back.
The home is really great. Has all the amenities and utilities you could want. Great location. When there was an issue with the listing and the oven, the owner gave some accommodation for our stay that was appreciated.

This was our second year staying at this property during the holiday season. House is set up perfectly for our family Christmas gathering and conveniently located close to town!
We will be back next year and hope to stay at this property again!
Beautiful home, beautiful furnishings, beautiful setting! This home is stocked with EVERYTHING you need to enjoy your stay in Old Forge. And plenty of room, too! We enjoyed hiking, biking, boating and just relaxing with our family. Tony and Bonnie were great to work with. It was the perfect getaway!
The House is top-notch and has a lot of room for everyone and is on the trail. Do not plan on having more than one truck and 2 place trailer in the driveway. We had to back down the dead-end road to unload, due to no place to turn around. Parking at Water Saffari was great and did not have any problems leaving our truck and trailers there, but make plans ahead of time for unloading. It's a process. Overall a great time in a very nice house.
We had a great stay at this immaculate home! Upon entry, we all agreed at how clean and beautiful it is! We had kiddos ranging from 2-8. We are somewhat locals to this area so we had plans set in place for most days! We did not end up going to the private beach as we found being close to the playgrounds at inlet and OF worked better with our littles. The homes location is very much up on a hill from Hollywood so longer bike rides with littles was difficult but they made due with the road the house is on! The neighbor was lovely across the road. The homeowner was very efficient, kind, and understanding with answering questions and trying to problem solve when anything came up. The kitchen is full of any cooking tool you need and has a dishwasher! There was plenty of room on the deck to eat outside every day, we even had a tree frog come and hang out with us for a couple days! In the summer you can’t see the water but you can hear it 🚤 😍. I’d love to see the view in the fall/ winter! I would say the property would be perfect for families with older children verses younger, more rambunctious little cousins just due to being up on the hill they got a bit restless at times (but that’s always a preference thing and not all kids act as ours do haha)… the separate living room is great and was nice to separate everyone at times. Overall it was a great experience and we are so grateful for our little get away! Thank you, thank you!
We stay in the Old Forge area each fall (or more frequently sometimes) , and seemingly in a different property each time. This house was definitely a 'fan favorite'! There are 8 of us and we all had more than enough room, beds were great, kitchen was great, etc. The kids are already asking if we can go back for a longer stay the next time. Thank you!
This home is astoundingly beautiful. The decor is perfect for the location. The kitchen has everything you need for meal preparation. Having two living areas gave people choices of a quiet place to read, watch television, or play games. We had an amazing time bonding with each other and this home made this very easy.
The house was great. The host responded immediately to any questions. Kitchen was very well equipped!! Watched the deer every morning right off the deck. Would definitely book again. Thank you Tony for sharing your beautiful home!!
5 adults and 2 dogs enjoyed a wonderful week at this place. They had everything you needed. The deck was wonderful for our dogs! I can’t stress enough how beautifully maintained this place was. Plenty of kitchen supplies and Tony was very quick at replying to any questions I had. Lots of room for quiet if needed as well as nice areas for playing games or gathering around tv or even the fire pit. We took many bike rides and hikes in the area. A+ for house and location.
This is the second time my family has rented this home, seven years later. It was in the same great condition as last time! We had a big group of adults, grandparents, an old Labrador, and young kids. The house is conveniently located, close to town and attractions. The kitchen was fully stocked for cooking and appliances were top notch. I can’t wait to stay here again and again.
This is an incredibly attractive property, built in the Adirondack style. Lots of room, with all the amenities needed. Wonderful hosts who have thought of everything you might need. Love the wrap around deck!
Great house in fun location. The kids absolutely loved the bunk beds and rooms. Lots of space for the family and easy walk into town or quick drive.

About the host
Hosted by Tony
I reside in Western Suffolk Long Island, NY. I work as a 911 consultant helping people all over the world. Enjoy traveling, snowmobiling, skiing, and sailing to name a few. Old Forge is my favorite destination of all time. I am glad to be able to share my home with many great family's who enjoy all the Adirondacks have to offer... no matter what season.
Why they chose this property
The people are great, the local food is excellent, and the views in every season are quite spectacular. Old Forge is a truly affordable vacation spot. There is so much to do in the area its impossible to bore yourself. We built the house from 2004-2005. We chose the neighborhood cause it was quiet, close to town, and close to the lake. Old Forge has something for everyone. I am big into snowmobiling and we have direct trail access to hundreds of miles of beautiful Adirondack Seclusion.
What makes this property unique
The house was designed with family, relaxation and all the great comforts in mind. Every room in the house carries its own theme so you don't fee like you are staying in a cookie cutter rental. We enjoy the snowfall in the winter, the great foliage in the fall, Whitewater rafting in the spring, and summers bring some of the best day and night weather in all of New York.
