Old Forge for the Eclipse!

We booked this property and filled each bed with friends to experience the eclipse. While the host couldn't control the weather, it ended up being the perfect location (and experience)! The house was just as described and the kitchen was fully stocked with every pan or utensil you could think of, which was helpful as we prepared each meal at the house (all ten of us fit around the table). Central location - we took a walk to the train depot, fire pit was used to cook lunch over, plenty of hot water, heat was responsive (didn't need the blankets she offered). We were very appreciative of the opportunity to save on a cleaning fee and do it ourselves. Host was also generous to flex on the arrival time, as we were staying during the off season.

Beautiful front porch

Red flag when it says they do not hire a cleaning company but expect the renters to clean when they leave which I always do I sweep and mop and vacuum clean the bathrooms but here we also had to wash the sheets and towels which I did. We were told the beds were made with clean sheets when we got ready for bed none of the beds were made we had to search for sheets all the pillow cases were still on the pillows so obviously they weren’t clean. There were no towels in the upstairs bathroom because they were still in the dryer. The one bedroom we couldn’t use because there was a spring poking you in the back. I would suggest new mattress on all beds. Plus right behind the house is another house it is a shared driveway. I have learned my lesson and will never rent from someone who doesn’t have a cleaning company
