Adirondack Cottage - Four Season, Pet-Friendly, Cozy & Beautiful. Read reviews!
Forest Pond Cottage is located in the Adirondack Park in Northern New York. Pets are welcome for a small fee per stay/per pet. Access to snowmobile & ATV trails are right from the cottage. It is situated on the edge of a seven acre beaver pond and surrounded by 115 acres of beautiful forest. The cottage is the only dwelling at the end of a town road which allows for easy year-round access yet ensures privacy. With every season there is a whole new variety of outdoor activities to enjoy.
THE COTTAGE
The cottage is an oasis from everyday living with all the comforts of home to recreate from within. There are endless trails for hikers, bikers, cross country skiing, ATVs and snowmobiles. Lakes, streams, rivers, mountains and thousands of acres of State land that is yours to enjoy. We have had everything there from weddings, honeymoons, anniversaries, family reunions to private getaways. It's a great place for individuals to share time & space with loved ones. The owners live only two miles up Number Four Rd; close enough to always be available if & when needed.
INDOOR AMENITIES
All linens for bed, bath & kitchen are provided as well as a fully equipped kitchen. Just some of the amenities include:
Fully equipped kitchen with full size refrigerator,full size gas stove, microwave, coffee pot, all kitchenware and cookware, crockpot, blender, toaster, spices, table and chairs in kitchen.

TV, VCR, DVD, DISH satellite, BOSE music system, variety of DVD movies & VHS tapes, games, cards, round table to seat minimum of 4.
Enclosed, screened porch the length of the cottage to enjoy your morning coffee and the wild life as you look out onto the pond. There are tables, chairs & a swing chair for your relaxation. Just down the stairs from the porch is the patio. Nice outdoor furnishings provided.
Upstairs features a queen bed as well as two twin beds in one large room. The linens are very nice and the beds very comfortable. Air conditioning. Off from the bedroom is the balcony. If there is a 'little one' staying, there is a crib that can be provided as well as a high chair.

About the host
Hosted by Carol or Dan Empie #315 376 4433
We live 2 miles up from the cottage on Number Four Rd and have been at that residence for 30 years. Dan is a forester and went to ESF at Syracuse University. He also has his realtor license and works for Timberland Realty. The focus is on listing wooded parcels and some have camps, houses or other structures. To inquire about his listings you can email him at dempie@timberlandrealty.net. Dan,also, does private consulting for forestry & land management.
Carol has been an RN for over 30 years which has led to a very varied set of work skills. She also had a wellness & fitness center in Lowville for 11 years. Currently she is focusing on the cottage, looking into other business ventures and works at a medium security prison as an RN.

Why they chose this property
We took care of the property for the 'long distant' owner for years before it became available for sale almost to the day of Carol closing her fitness center. There was a 'land developer' that was interested in the property also. Dr Fritelli was the current owner & had purchased the cottage and pond from Minnie Peck previously, who raised 5 children there. Dr Fritelli loved the property & entrusted much of the care, maintenance and management to Carol & Dan. He had it for his own private use. The developer (whom shall remain nameless) offered Dr Fritelli a fair market price for the cottage & land. Since the Empies had 'first refusal' we were able to match his offer to Dr Fritelli. Of course, the developer came back with a much more substantial offer. We could not match that. Dr Fritelli decided to sell the property to us at the first price and refused the developers. As stated earlier, he loved the property & knew we would take good care of it & share it with others without exploiting it. So, love of the land won against development and 'greener (money) pastures. Way to go Dr Fritelli...if only Ethan Allen & other business used you as an example!
We fixed up the cottage to share with others and, also, so we could afford it. We keep the rent very reasonable because we believe everyone should be able to enjoy the serenity of nature.
It was a lot of work but we enjoy work (crazy, huh!). Dr Fritelli would be proud. In our guest book he has a portion dedicated to his saying 'good bye' to his much loved land.
Our belief is to keep it affordable and always give more than what is expected.

What makes this property unique
I think the best way to describe the Forest Pond Cottage experience is to simply and truly experience the calm, penetrating healing of nature. Within all the comforts of home you will feel the relief of everyday stress. The cottage truly becomes your home away from home. The wind blowing through the trees, beavers busy being beavers, sunrises over the pond, fish jumping , frogs and peepers in the spring, little turtles trying to make it to the pond, deer wading in the waters edge, coyotes cackling at times it is all magical. There are several great close by places we share with guests as to how to find them. We call them “ the best kept secrets” in the Adirondacks. Visiting here is like finding yourself~
