It started with great communication with Brandon upon booking & just got better & better! The house was beautiful, very clean & had all the amenities we needed! The extra surprises- homemade cake, wine & cheese, flowers, s’more makings, local products…etc really made us feel like welcome guests!The sandy beach & huge yard was great for our 2yo granddaughter & our 2 dogs! We made sand castles, used our kayaks on the beautiful lake, took walks, played games in the yard, had fires & played indoor games & did a puzzle on the deck when it rained. It felt rural & private but there was great golf & good food close by although we grilled most of our meals. Great grill & fully appointed kitchen. All around best place we have stayed ! Thank you for making our family vacation great! Chris & family

Thanksgiving holiday

We rented the house for our Thanksgiving and had a great time. It was the perfect quiet spot to spend time with family. There were plenty of things to see on our walks and my son had a great time playing on the frozen shore of the lake. Highly recommend this spot if you are looking for a quiet place to get away together!

Everything was amazing

Everything was amazing. Brandon and Corey left everything perfect for us. We appreciated having time together as a family. The kitchen has everything you will need to make food. The house is fully equipped. We did not have any issues, but if we did we knew help was only a quick call away which was very reassuring. Thanks for sharing your house with us!

Beautiful Adirondack winter weekend

The Buddy Lodge was the perfect setting for a fantastic winter weekend. Everything is clean and new. The kitchen is well equipped and Brandon left coffee,tea and delicious cocoa bombs for us. The beds are comfortable and the view of the frozen lake spectacular. Even though the temperature outside was in the single digits it was warm and cozy inside. We had a fantastic time snowshoeing near Old Fordge just a half hour drive and then had fun shopping in town. We also were lucky to ski at Snow Ridge 30 minutes away in 8 inches of new snowand no lift lines!. We will be back!

Everything about this house was perfect. It had EVERYTHING you need; the kitchen was well stocked with every appliance and gadget you could want for the week. The bedrooms were the perfect size and beds are super comfy. The lake is beautiful and the yard is huge; our family spent many evenings outside enjoying the campfire and the peace and quiet. Our hosts were very attentive and answered almost immediately when we had questions. There were so many games to enjoy. The view of the lake from the top deck was breathtaking and we spent every morning sipping coffee and watching the ducks and geese cruising around the lake. I highly recommend this gorgeous lakefront getaway!

So relaxing!

We spent four days in the cabin. It was very clean and had everything we needed. The kids loved collecting shells on the sandy beach. We went hiking on some of the trails nearby. We had a great time!

Great ADK getaway

This waterfront Adirondack vacation spot is beautiful. The house was spacious, clean and well equipped with everything we needed. Our host was very hospitable and responsive. We enjoyed the fire pit, playing outdoor games and relaxing on the deck. Our dogs loved swimming in the lake. We definitely recommend the Buddy Lodge and plan to stay there again.

All the comforts of home

The Buddy Lodge is an A+ rental with an A+ host. We travel regularly for work and pleasure, and needed a place to stay in the Forestport area for a week and a half on a job site. If you have to live on the road, it’s hard to do better than this. While an entire house is a bit much for one couple, we really appreciated the fully equipped kitchen (including the excellent Bosch dishwasher), laundry machines, and wifi. The house is comfortable down to -19 degrees F (yuck). The entire house is clean, comfortable, attractive, functional, and very well appointed. All we needed were groceries. The lake view is lovely. After it snowed over a foot, someone came by and cleared the driveway while we were at work. Check in and out was as easy as it gets, and we appreciated how Brandon accommodated our unavoidably uncertain schedule. It’s beautiful here and we would definitely book again.
