Very nice house and lots of space. Sandy bottom shallows made for fun times with the kids. Bonus is that there were Labor Day fireworks in the harbor. 4 stars for location as the house is on the channel from Old Forge proper to the main lake (1st) but plenty wide enough feel like lake front. Dock was a plus for boat tie up. Owners were very nice and responsive.

Best Location

This was our 2nd year staying at this property! We won't stay anywhere else in Old Forge! The location is close to everything but still private! The furnishings and bedrooms are the perfect layout for families and the backyard overlooking the lake is nice and flat. We rented a pontoon boat and docked it right there. Will be booking every year for the family vacay!
