The house is one block from all star shops and dining but still has a secluded yard with fire pit. Some things in the house could be updated but everything was clean. Really great location for families. Property owner was responsive with any questions we had.
worked and was clean

Walk to town. Close to all there is in Old Forge. I had cleaning to do. The home had not been rented in months. The house was big and spacious. Many places for family and grandchildren to sleep. The upstairs renter Ron was friendly and very helpful. The owner let me stay later so I cleaned and laundered the whole house. This house is pricey but if you need a lot of space and want a walkable stay; this is the ticket. The home was built in 1936. Lots of built ins. Would recommend for large families who are not picky.

The property is very nice, but we didn’t get to enjoy it. My younger daughter, her husband and son couldn’t make it because they had Covid. My wife and I arrived Thursday and were waiting for my older daughter, her husband and two children, when I decided to test myself for Covid. Of course it was positive so my wife and I checked into a hotel for the night to quarantine from my daughter’s family. Our visit to Old Forge to celebrate with 25 family members was officially ruined so we all drove home the next day. Our host Manzurul was very sympathetic and we are waiting on some kind of refund from him for the 3 nights we couldn’t stay

Location to the town was perfect. House is big so lots of room. However, not enough toilet paper, trash bags or paper towels. When I called the property manager I was told to go and buy them and save receipts. For the price of this property I should not have to do that. Also the dishes were dirty so we had to wash before use but good thing I brought paper plates and plastic silverware. The upstairs neighbor was very nice and assisted us with a fish hook injury (Thank you Ron). House could have been cleaner and dog poop in yard should have been picked up. Do watch out for deer poop, we all did enjoy watching the deer!

The photos of this home must be 20 years old!!!
This home was not as expected! Run down!!!
Cob webbs in all corners of the home.
Grass not mowed under the picnic table.
Fire pit was a disappointment.
No garbage bags! Had to go buy them.
TV - The remote would not work correctly- couldn’t use it.
The beds were not comfortable.
On the positive side it was big enough for a large family! And close to main street.

Spent a few days at the house and played golf with friends. Great location that is near the restaurants and bars. Everything that you need is in walking distance!

Although a little dated we found the home to a perfect winter lodge. There was plenty of parking and the neighbors were very helpful accomodating 3 trucks and snowmobile trailers. Once we settled in we were able to walk anywhere in town. We enjoyed some good times in the large main Dining/living room before venturing out. The bedrooms were large and comfortable. Two of the rooms were adjoining but you had the option of seperate enterances. The kitchen had plenty of pots, pans, dishes and impliments as well as all the kitchen standards found in most homes. Only real minor complaint was the uneven heating but thats to be expected in an old home. We found that if we left the bathroom and bedroom doors open the home heated much more evenly. We plan on spending another long winter snowmobiling weekend there again next season. Looking for Great times with great friends, this is a great place to do it.

This home is in the perfect location; right in town and I’m walking distance to stores, restaurants, the TOBIE trail, Maple Ridge exercise trail, Moose River and Lake front, the movie theater etc.
With a few tweaks this place would be top notch; it has great bones (hardwood floors, built in bookcases with tons of games etc), but new linens/bedding/upstairs mattress (needs to be replaced (major sagging)/replace or paint dated wallpaper this place would be even better. The kitchen is older/dated but provides more than everything you need. I saw other people complain about seeing the unfinished basement when you come in, but that didn’t bother us because it wasn’t like we were hanging out in the entryway. With just a little love this place could be a premium property.
The living space is great! Large family table for board games and living room is large with ample seating. There is plenty of parking and a fire pit out back. The enclosed front porch was one of our favorite rooms. The house is shared but the tenant is helpful and friendly.
If you are looking to come to old forge with your family I would recommend this place. Five stars with a little bit of updating!

Close to lots of different adventure opportunities, and an easy walk to “downtown” Old Forge. Plus you get to watch the backyard deer and see evidence of a wandering bear. Bring your own washcloths.

Disappointed - needs updating. We knew the home was old, but the steps are decayed and not safe. Entryway smelled, dirty and the whole house was musty. It was missing a bed! Property manager had answering service and didn’t seem to care that we didn’t have enough places to sleep our group. The owner said he wasn’t even aware a bed was missing. We had to buy a blow-up to sleep everyone. We found out from a contractor that the roof leaked in that bedroom as they were repairing the roof. The contractors were very noisy and their language was totally unacceptable around our kids. Mattresses we did have were hard and very uncomfortable. The tub in the upstairs bathroom is curved , slippery and dangerous. Had several close calls and one of us did fall. Best part was the location. We enjoyed the large yard including the fire pit. In summary we will not rent here again. The place was not worth the price we paid and we have been coming to Old Forge for 60 years. Disappointing!
2.0 / 5.0
We arrived to what we expected would be a private whole house to find a weird split entryway leading to another apartment and our 'section' of the house. Also in this entry way is an open corridor leading down to a musty smelling basement.
Inside the house, we find previous water damage in the ceiling of a bedroom. It appears they stopped the leak but never replaced the ceiling tiles and any other damage caused, this is in the room we planned to have our 1 year old daughter sleep (not any more!) The smell of mold/must was overwhelming. in addition, large open grates lead from the living-room (mostly as pictured) to the musty basement (not to ducts, directly to the gross basement).
We discovered all of this in the first 2 minutes of entering the apartment. We go upstairs to continue our investigation and find a door to another apartment, behind a curtain, in the hallway.
This was the final straw, and we booked a hotel a left. I contacted the property manager with these concerns and heard nothing back for 2 days. Also contacted VRBO for a refund (since we paid for a whole house, not a dirty apartment) and they refused as well.

Needs updates, more cleaning
The property was not very clean when we arrived. The beds were made and no dishes or garbage but everything was dusty, cob webby and the floors were pretty dirty. Especially under the beds. The property needs new furniture and some updating. The Tennant was a little rude and annoying as well. The best thing it has going is its large and can fit a big family comfortably.

Awesome birthday snowmobile friends fun weekend!
We had 5 couples stay and play! Close to town close to snowmobiling… the heating could be zoned a bit better and beds could be set up better so couples could sleep in same bed but each got their own room.

Old Forge Vacation
Awesome property, just as described. Lots of room and beds if you have a larger group. Walking distance to everything in "downtown" Old Forge. Great outdoor space for lawn games, nice and quiet tenant in adjoining apartment. Would love to stay here again on a return trip to Old Forge.

Great Location! Big house!
This adorable house was perfect for my friends and I! We do a girls trip every year and the layout was perfect for us. The location and walking distance to town was excellent and convenient. The bedrooms are large and the open space concept in the dining room/living room made for a great hangout area! Plenty of parking and the owner responded to all of our questions before we checked in very quickly. He also accommodated an early check in. Would stay here again! Totally recommend!

Very old, A/C only in upstairs bedrooms
The communication with the owner and property manager was very good. He allowed us to check in about 30 minutes early.
The home is very old (1920). The entryway smelled so musty and was not clean. The mattresses are terrible. Everyone’s back hurt because they were lumpy, full of springs or sagged so badly you rolled to the middle. However; all the bedding was freshly washed and ready to be put on the beds - which you do yourself. The pillows were very flat.
There were plenty towels to use.
The washer and dryer work well.
The kitchen was very well furnished with pots, pans, cups and silverware. The refrigerator was clean and worked well. The dishwasher works but is quite loud. We did not have any garbage bags and were told the cleaning lady used the last ones, sorry.
The main floor bath was ok but the door does not lock.
The upstairs bathroom is awful. The toilet leaks and the water just sits on top of a tin patch on the floor. The shower barely has any pressure and the tub is very curved. A couple of us came extremely close to falling as it is also very slippery.
Other than the beds the upstairs bedrooms were fine and have window air. The lighting is pretty poor though.
The furniture is very old, dirty and uncomfortable in the living room. Cords run all over the floor and there were spider webs from the ceiling to lampshades. We had two toddlers so that didn’t work well.
The best part of the home is the yard and porch. There are two picnic tables, fire pit, grill and the porch is covered. Very large yard with nice grass. It rained most of our trip so the porch was good.
The neighborhood felt very safe.
Summary: communication was good but we would not rent this place again. We paid a large amount of money for three nights and it definitely was not worth it. The wedding party had a different rental and I was told it was clean and beautiful. Quite disappointing.

Perfect stay for a family trip!
This house had plenty of space for my parents, my family, and my sisters family. The kids had room to play inside even on the rainy days. Neighbors were close by but were very pleasant during our stay and didn’t at all complain about the noise that comes along with kids on vacation. We enjoyed the outdoor space and fire pit. The kids enjoyed the many deer sightings right in the backyard as well.

Great Location!
Perfect house for a family snowmobile trip! The house is only 1 block from downtown dining, shopping and bars and only a few blocks from the trails. My adult children absolutely loved their stay there. The house has plenty of space for a group of 6 to 8 people. The extra large driveway had plenty of room for a 4 place and 2 place trailer. Can't wait to go back!

The Big Red House was perfect!
7 of us went up to go snowmobiling for the weekend. Overall the house was perfect with plenty of room. We could have easily fit the 10 people (even more) that’s suggezted. There are some positives and negatives
Positives:
- incredibly easy to get to snowmobile trails right from the driveway
- driveway was plenty big enough for trailer and truck. Could even turn the trailer around in the driveway
- so much space! Huge living room and dining room table that is plenty big enough for 10 people. 2 bathrooms were perfect and plenty of beds, pillows and blankets
- everything was very, very clean.
-fully stocked kitchen
- short walk into town
- large laundry/mud room to hang coats and put boots with updated washer and dryer
- got a ton of snow and the driveway was plowed even before we woke up.
Negatives:
- mattresses could be updated. The master was very hard and others were dropping to the middle.
-bring extra towels! They had some, but not really enough
- no WiFi but we were so busy we didn’t even think about it!
-also had some trouble with the TV but ended up working fine in the end
-temperature was kind of tricky. We were either very hot or cold. But it was also near -14 outside and hard to regulate. The boiler was definitely working hard.
Overall we would definitely stay here again and recommend to anyone!

Life in Old Forge, taking it easy and enjoying the sights
As stated this house is located right off the main street with a coffee bistro around the corner and many shops to walk through. House can easily fit 10 people in 4+ bedrooms, 2 baths one on main floor and the other on the top floor. Really enjoyed getting to know the art teacher who lives in the apartment on the first floor. First floor has a ceiling fan, large dining room and large table for all to sit. Upstairs two bedrooms have window a/c for those who like it cool and dry. Has a big back yard and adequate parking. The backyard has a picnic bench and fireplace, and you have deer visiting you in the morning and evening. They walked right up to us, but we were warned not to feed them. Plenty of towels with fully capable washer and dryer. There is a mix and match of cups, plates and silverware and some pots and pans. We just finished our stay in the middle of August. Weather was nice, warm and rained a little but we found several things to do indoors. This part of New York is so beautiful and rustic. Will stay again!

House is very clean and well cared for. Very charming home with lots of character!
This was our second stay at The Big Red House with family (brothers/spouses/cousins). We went skiing at McCauley and snowmobiling. We could walk downtown. It was great to enjoy the Olympics on cable TV too this year! Overall, a great little vacation. Hope to be back next year! Thank you!!
