This was our 2nd year in a row staying at this location. We loved it! The proximity to Old Forge is very convenient while giving you the feeling you are in an out of the way area. The location of this house is the perfect quiet getaway. The view is beautiful with plenty of outdoor seating. The accommodations were very nice and the kitchen gives you plenty of supplies. We enjoyed our stay!!!

Perfect Vacation Location

This property was perfect for us who were there to relax, enjoy the views and play golf. It had everything we needed and the location was perfect. The owners thought of everything including the extras. We enjoyed the beach, the restaurants, gift shops and of course the magnificent fireplace at night.

We enjoyed our stay at Carl's place! The beach pass was a great feature. Fire pit and deck were great as well.This was our first time using VRBO, so I'm not sure if this is typical on VRBO, but it did feel like much more of the burden of cleaning fell on the guest vs other places we have stayed.Overall, a great experience. Thanks, Carl!

Wonderful Chalet

We had a wonderful 5 days in this cozy chalet located near everything the Adirondacks has to offer ... gorgeous views, hiking trails, lakes & streams for watersports, restaurants, museums and more. The chalet was very clean and Carl was readily available to answer any questions we had. I highly recommend this property.

Amazing Experience!! Highly Recommend

We stayed at the Cozy Chalet for 4 nights and we couldn’t have asked for a better place!! The house had everything we needed and we are planning to book again next summer. The memories we made will last a lifetime. We can’t thank the host enough for offering up such a wonderful place to stay in the Adirondacks!!

What a great place!

My daughter and I stayed at Carl’s place for a few days to see the eclipse. The chalet is absolutely lovely and we loved waking up each morning to the sunrise & the trees and the view of the lake…it was magical. Carl was nothing but wonderful and is there to make your stay memorable. Would definitely recommend!

With its excellent location, this cottage was an ideal home base for our fall exploration of the lower Adirondacks. Comfortable and well-kept, it has a rustic, no-frills charm. The first photo is outdated; as seen in other pix the spacious living room has a sofa, recliner and two arm chairs. The attractive log furniture throughout suits the setting perfectly. We made use of the gas fireplace to chase the chill of rainy mornings and evenings. The wooded property with views of First Lake is pretty as well as private; we thoroughly enjoyed this peaceful location.

This house was amazing. My son and I stayed here to snowmobile for the weekend. The property manager, communication, parking, house and decor, location, neighbors, everything was beyond anything I could've imagined. One of the nicest VRBO rentals I've ever had!! I'll be bringing my entire family on the next trip and we'll be staying here again!!! Thank you!!!
