Weekend Getaway
My wife and I travelled to Old Forge for a weekend in snow country. Our stay at the Guide Cottage served our needs well. It was clean and comfortable. It was within walking distance of downtown. Although not fancy, it had everything we needed at a very reasonable price.

As Described
Plenty of ADK charm and perfect location to just park the car and enjoy OF
Well let’s start out by when we get there the back door is unlocked. Once we are inside there’s a terrible smell not sure if it’s the garbage can or could be propane smell from stove. We set garbage can outside the next morning come back later that day smell still there!!! So it’s suppose to sleep six there’s only 3 towels to use ( I brought my own thank goodness) and the towels smell terrible not one of the four used them. We ended up leaving Saturday for a 21/2 drive home didn’t feel comfortable in house to stay another night.house needs lots of work!!!

Hiking in Adirondacks
We received upgrade from owner to another property which was a pleasant stay.
This property is a great place to stay, and the property manager/owner is very easy to communicate with. Will definitely be returning to this property.
We rented this house for the weekend of Snodeo in Old Forge. The house is conveniently located and is within walking distance to the restaurants and bars. We had a vendor booth at the Snodeo show so we didn't spend much time at the house but it worked out perfectly for what we needed. Communication with the host was excellent.

Great little place to watch the time pass. Rained every day but the porch was great for watching deer and traffic! Easy walk to all the shops.

Couldn't be more convenient for a stay in Old Forge
Walking distance to so many things in Old Forge, and a mere 5 minute drive from McCauley made this great for a family visit for cross country skiing (although it was less than 5 degrees for half of the stay so we didn't actually walk anywhere in town). The Guide's Cottage is clean and cozy on sub-zero winter nights. While it is a house built in a different era, the remodels have made it a reasonable family space and it seems to "have good bones." We made several meals and the kitchen had everything we needed (just remember to pack a hand towel or two for the kitchen).

wonderful house
We enjoyed the house very much. It was clean and neat, many amenities were provided, fresh flowers was a nice touch. Everyone loved playing the air hockey. Owners were very communicative whenever I messaged with questions. Complaints we have are the mattresses weren't that comfortable, one of the beds sounded like it would fall apart, the second floor's floor creaked a lot and not level. But we would recommend this house for anyone who wants to visit Shelburne Falls or do some skiing near by.

A nice place,
Really enjoyed staying here! The house was clean and comfortable, and the owner was easy to communicate with. We spent most of our time running around enjoying the great outdoors , but we were happy to come home to this house.
