About this property
Bears Den vacation home 1 minute from downtown Old Forge
Enjoy a relaxing Adirondack getaway any time of the year in our year round home. We are located just outside the Village of Old Forge, right off Route 28, 3 homes from the Steakhouse Restaurant on the 3rd hole of the Thendara Golf Course. We are a nice walk or short drive to the Adirondack Railroad, VanAukens Restaurant/Hotel and the Moose river. Not to mention all the great shops and restaurants Old Forge has to offer is just minutes away.
The Bears Den has everything you could want to enjoy a true Adirondack vacation. The home offers a beautiful cozy floor plan, with big living room, good sized dining area, and fully equipped kitchen, high speed internet and free WiFi. One master bedroom with king sized bed, 3 bedrooms upstairs one with a queen sized bed, one with a full sized bed and one with a bunk bed combo and futon. Two full bathrooms. Beautiful front porch for morning coffee or evening dinner, enjoy the firepit out back as well. The home has a central heating system, ceiling fans in each bedroom, dishwasher, microwave, Keurig single serve coffee maker, drip coffee maker, gas grill, and washer and dryer. The home also is equipped with a whole house automatic generator in the event of a power outage - your stay will not be interrupted.
Please note this home is SELF CATERING. I do not have a cleaning service, while almost all of my guests love saving the extra cash and picking up after themselves. If you do not, I recommend finding a home that is not self catering.
SELF CATERING also means, that while I do my best to keep the house fully stocked. If something gets damaged by a guest prior to your stay, I will do my best to replace it but I cannot always get there in between guests with a replacement.
WIFI can go in and out during your stay, this is not something I can control and or fix. Spectrum is our provider and while they do a wonderful job at response time from storms and outages. Me personally cannot control or fix that.
Guests are responsible for taking their own garbage at check out. There is no road side trash service because of bears-
For those occasional rainy days or to keep you in touch with the outside world (should you wish to), the house is equipped with a TV in the great room, living room, and a small television in one bedroom.
There are so many things to do in and around Old Forge. There are hiking trails, bike trails, canoeing/kayaking on the Moose River or Fulton Chain Lakes, boating, fishing, swimming at the free public beach or the Water Safari Enchanted Forest, canoe/kayak/power boat rentals, white water rafting, sight seeing cruises on the Fulton Chain Lakes, golf, horseback riding, scenic ski lift at McCauley Mountain, sea plane rides at 7th Lake, the Adirondack Scenic Railroad.
In the village of Old Forge there are many restaurants & pizzerias, Adirondack gift shops, Adirondack furniture & decorations stores, a full grocery store, Kinney pharmacy, a movie theater that shows between 4 & 6 different current movies, an arcade, Enchanted Forest/Water Safari amusement park, Calypso Cove (go-carts, bumper boats, rock climbing wall, batting cages, arcade), miniature golf.
There is easy access to the well known Old Forge snowmobile trail system. You can also ski at McCauley Mountain (about 5 minutes from the house) or Gore Mountain (a little over 1 hour).
