Beautiful Cottage, Extremely Clean, Great Location

We loved this cottage and the location! The cottage was extremely clean and bug-free (we've stayed in other locations before that had a lot of spider webs & crickets, but this unit was very well maintained & bug-free!) The cottage has a beautiful fireplace and a beautiful small kitchen with granite countertops, fridge, gas stove & micro, coffee pot & tea kettle. There is no dishwasher so consider bringing paper plates & plastic cups. It has a reclining leather couch and the bedding was in very good shape, comfortable and clean. They provide linens, blankets and bath towels. The cottage is decorated very nicely and they have thought of everything when it comes to maximizing space. You have your own private campfire with comfortable Adirondack chairs. Another nice amenity is that you are able to park your vehicle right in front of the cottage instead of using the upper parking lot. This came in handy when it was raining. Grounds were very nicely maintained, 2 really nice large waterfront decks and if you kayak, you can put your kayak in right at their dock. Very dark at night, so bring a flashlight for outdoors & night-lights for inside. The weather was not in our favor so we were not able to ride our bikes, but had it been better, we could have ridden into town. We enjoyed meeting Emanuela & Jon who were extremely nice and accommodating. We are planning to return to this cottage later this summer/Fall. Don't wait to rent it, you will not be disappointed!!

Family vacation

Cabin was perfectly sized for my two kids and I. We were able to fish off the dock, kayak, canoe, swim and the proximity to Old Forge is less than 5 minutes. All in all, a great time!
