Timeless cottage in a quaint village

We instantly felt at home! Joe is a superior host who made sure we had everything we needed. We enjoyed an outdoor fire (which Joe had ready for us) Halloween night. The fresh donuts from the Cafe are delicious. The river is beautiful! We would definitely stay again! Cozy enough for 2, but big enough for more!

Very pleasant short vocation

Everything was excellent with this house. Perfect location for our group since we were mainly interested in cross country skiing. A few cross country ski areas were in close vicinity. The owner was very friendly and helpful. The only problem was the heating system which sometime did not heat some rooms sufficiently.

FoPo is a gem

Joe was great! Checked in on us, offered suggestions for outings, started a fire for us each evening. The diner makes fresh donuts. The rock hopping is amazing. Rode on the black river canal trail, paddled the reservoir, did some geocaching. We planned to use Forestport as a cheap place to stay for Old Forge activities, but there is plenty to do there also. We also visited pixley falls on the way home- so pretty!

Patrick, I'm so sorry you feel that it's necessary to resort to vulgar slang. Is there anything I can do make you feel differently? If so, please reach out to me. I thought I did everything in dealing with you for bringing extra guests, taking personal property out of the house on your departure and losing the the key.

Best rental by a Dam site

Clean, good size rental in the middle of the quaint town of Forestport. With the Black River steps away, the sound of water going over the small dam lulls you to sleep. The Forestport diner is literally in the backyard. It's slogan is "Best diner by a Dam site" The breakfast was good and reasonably priced. The homemade donuts are fantastic. The bedroom downstairs with its 2 beds are steps away from a bathroom with a a very nice large walk-in shower. The stairs going to the second floor are a little steep (normal for a house of its age). Once upstairs, the two bedrooms with 2 beds in each are comfortable. The upstairs bath has a beautiful claw bathtub, which was a soothing spot after a long day of exploring the area. WWMW is the perfect location to see the western side of the Adirondack Park. If you are looking for a place to rent and don't mind staying in a well taken care of old home, I highly recommend WWMW... the price is right!

Great Stay!

Our host, Joe. couldn't have been more accommodating. Always ready to provide anything we needed and to suggest local restaurants, attractions, etc. The house is dated but that's part of it's charm. Everything was super clean and basic supplies were provided. You can walk to the local hometown diner for a great breakfast (not to mention an Awesome Friday Night fish fry). Also within walking distance is the dam/waterfall on the Black River. Can't wait to return. Thanks Joe!!!!
