4 Bedroom 2 Bath camp in the heart of Old Forge

10/10 Excellent

"A beautiful home close enough to walk to go shopping and swimming."

The Woods Inn

8/10 Good

"The property is located on a unique piece of land. The "backyard" area opens up to the lake and it is very peaceful to sit there and watch the sunset. So, A+ there. In July of 2026 they are doing construction on the restaurant. I'm glad to see this place get some needed TLC in the form of capital investment. The downside is there is no breakfast or anything like that. There is a coffee shop within walking distance that has breakfast items. In the morning, there is a line out the door. Super popular place. I can't recall the name of it,but it shouldn't be hard to find. The biggest downside here is that all the rooms are on the upper floors and there is zero AC. Also, no elevator or anything to help you schlepp your bags up the steep circa late 19th century staircase (not the typical 7x11 risexrun that became standardized since WWII). We were there in July and it was only mid 70s in the day and upper 50s in the night and our room was sweltering. If they ever add AC, I'd go back. If not, then not. At least not in July."

ADK Lake House Vacation, Cozy 5 Bedroom & 2 Bath

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay at Mohawk Pines. The house has 3 levels and made our room arrangements very easy. The house has a whole home generator that was amazing for us. The surrounding area lost power for multiple hours and we were able to use the generator for the house. The 3rd floor has 2 bedrooms and window AC units, The basement level has 2 bedrooms as well with no AC, but it stayed very cool down there. The main floor has no AC and got a little hot. If you stay in the summer, I would bring extra fans for sure. The Kitchen had most of the essentials and we only had to use a few of the pans we brought. The backyard is private and has a nice size fire pit. There is a building across the street that sells wheelbarrow's of firewood if you need it. The owner Mike was very responsive and checked in during the week to ensure we didn't need anything. Overall it was a nice house and great location."

The Guide’s River Cottage • Riverfront Retreat + Walk to Town

10/10 Excellent

"We were traveling with another family during our stay. All of our kiddos thought this place was way better than any other cottage we've rented. There was lots of space for the kids to explore! The proximity to town was something we had never experienced in Old Forge and we loved it!!! The river was fantastic! The host was very responsive to every message I sent and was a pleasure to talk to:) This is a great place to stay if you have pre-teens that like a little freedom to wonder."

"We had a wonderful stay! Clean, close to town, and beautiful wooded surroundings. The placement of the bedrooms throughout the 3 levels was perfect for our family to all have our own spaces in the early mornings."
