Welcome to our simple, peaceful home, minutes from the quaint village of Old Forge and perfectly located near all the fun and beauty of the Southern Adirondacks. Enjoy four seasons of outdoor wonder and allow us to do our best to help you feel at home at our "Pawnee Reverie."
Our home provides guests with easy access to lakes, streams, paddling sites, mountains (to climb, bike, ski, gaze from) walking trails, cross-country trails, snowmobiling fun, and so much more.
More specifically, being in Old Forge, you are near First Lake (of the Fulton Chain Lakes), Moose River, the TOBIE Trail, golfing at the Thendara Golf Club, the Adirondack Scenic Railroad, McCauley Mountain, Fulton Chain Brewery, swimming in Old Forge Pond or at the private beach for Hollywood Hills association members (where you can also launch a boat). For family fun, there's a movie theater dating back to the 1920s that shows current blockbusters, an arcade, an arts center, miniature golf, and the Enchanted Forest Water Safari. In the village of Old Forge, there are many restaurants & pizzerias, fun places to shop, and a full grocery store to supply you with all the food you need for your stay.
For those who love to snowmobile, we have direct access to Trail 4 and are close to other popular trails as well.

ABOUT THE SPACE IN HOME
The home has 2 full bedrooms and 2 full baths - plenty of space for a family or for a single couple or two.
The master bedroom includes a king-sized bed, a giant TV, a walk-in closet, and an attached bathroom.
The second bedroom includes a queen-sized bed and another giant TV and a bathroom across the hall.
We have a fully-equipped kitchen for guests to enjoy with new appliances and a dining table in the kitchen nook.
The living room has two comfy couches, a big-screen TV, a bar, and peaceful views that often include ADK wildlife. If you have a 5th person, the one living room couch can also serve as a pull-out bed, which would be most comfortable for a younger guest.
Outside the house, you can enjoy our yard, wrap-around deck, and a side fire pit with tandem rocking chairs.
Parking is on-site in the driveway or in front of the house.
Guests staying 7 days or more receive a 10% discount. (VRBO doesn't build this discount into the reservation process. Please contact hosts before booking to apply the discount.)
For seasonal stays, please contact hosts.
Seasonal winter rates are available leading into the winter up until Nov. 1.

Abbreviated Welcome Guide
WINTER GUESTS IMPORTANT INFO
Our driveway is plowed and accessible for parking, however, the driveway is steep and a 4WD or AWD vehicle is best in icy or snowy conditions. Regarding accessing the side door, we will have a path shoveled to the entrance. If it snows during your stay, please, for your safety, use the shovel and ice melt in the container below the stairs. Winter conditions in Old Forge and throughout the region require extra caution.
BEAR SAFETY
Carry in/carry out. Leave no trash or food remains at the camp. Bears follow the scent of food and can turn a property upside down as a result of food left behind.
INFO ON BRINGING ALONG A DOG
One dog, non-shedding, and under 25 pounds will be considered with documentation of up-to-date vaccination records. We would ask that the dog always be attended to in the house or crated and that he/she be kept off the furniture. If a crate is needed to accommodate rules (keeping your sweet pup off the furniture), we can provide one with sufficient time to plan. An additional cleaning fee of $35 per day up to $120 a stay will be assessed in advance of your stay to cover costs for additional cleaning.
Regarding sheets: The two bedrooms will have clean sheets on the beds for guests when they arrive. If guests wish to bring their sheets, they will need king sheets for the master bedroom and queen sheets for the second bedroom. The pullout couch has a queen mattress and there will be a set of queen sheets in the closet for guests using the sofa bed.
Regarding towels: We have house towels but not beach towels. Summer guests are kindly asked to bring their own beach towels.
Regarding drinking water: Our well water contains natural minerals that have a taste and smell that, although safe to drink, is not preferred in its unfiltered state. Owners refill our 5-gallon water cooler (in our kitchen) in town using the spigot on the side of the Old Forge Tourist Center building. We also drink from cold water run through a Britta filter pitcher stored in the fridge at the house. We suggest either for our guests.
Regarding the association beach: Directions both for driving and walking to the beach will be available at the camp.
