My fiancé and I had a phenomenal time at the cottage. The pictures dont do the property justice, it is even more beautiful and serene than we had expected. Dan and Carol were such gracious hosts and provided us with valuable information about both the property and surrounding towns. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us this weekend! Looking forward already to next time!

Clean, cozy, beautiful pet-friendly stay
We had the most amazing time during our winter visit with ourselves and our pomsky! We visited during a winter-storm and loved playing in the snow and utilizing the sleds provided by Carol & Dan.The storm blew in making our travel plans very unsafe and Carol & Dan were V E R Y kind, inviting us to stay an extra night to avoid the harsh travel conditions. We will forever be thankful for that kindness!This property certainly feels all-inclusive. Whether you want to stay at the cottage your whole stay or travel around the Adirondack area- there is so much to do! The hospitality of the hosts shows through with all their provisions. Forgot toothpaste? Under the cabinet. Pet furniture covers? In the closet! They've thought everything through which makes the stay feel easy and comfortable especially with their kindness being just 2 miles up the road. We can't wait to spend more time here as we will certainly return with our daughter & dog again!

We Will Certainly Return!
Beautiful cottage. Great combination of rustic / modern appointments. Very well equipped and dog friendly. We absolutely loved having our girl there with us for the weekend. The property is absolutely serene and stunning. Pictures do not even do it justice. We were able to snowshoe the trails on the property. It was an absolute winter wonderland. In addition to all of this, two of the best hosts I’ve met in my history of renting VRBO / Airbnb type properties. Carol and Dan are extremely kind, personable and knowledgeable folks. They are at the ready to answer any questions / accommodate their guests to ensure a wonderful stay. Thanks for everything!

Amazing cabin in the woods. Carol and Dan were amazing making sure we had everything that we needed. Which we did. They provided everything for modern living. We didn’t leave the cabin we did have some adventures in the rain and snow on the property. Our dogs were exhausted by day three. We saw otters playing on the lake, large beaver and some deer. Very quiet. Perfect place to go if you are looking somewhere to get away from the noise! Especially on New Year’s Eve. We cannot say enough positive about this cabin! Thank you for sharing your sanctuary with us. Will definitely return!

Best Weekend
We got married here on the property and it was the most amazing and beautiful experience I’ve ever had. Carol and Dan were so unbelievably more than accommodating and generous with their help and kindness. We made sure to stay very careful with the property so as to not ruin or damage any of the natural beauty that this cottage offers, and I couldn’t have dreamt of a more picturesque place to have a wedding and our mini-moon. Carol and Dan helped us with set-up, flowers, cleaning, and joined us for our ceremony and reception, and we had the most incredible time:)

Mike and I and our 2 dogs love FPC. The weather was beautiful and we spent all day outside hiking, the dogs swam in the pond and Francis Lake. The cottage is clean and the kitchen is very well appointed. We enjoyed cooking and sitting by the fire pit in the evening. It's my second year here, plan to go back every year! Thank you to Carol and Dan...wonderful hosts!

Great Vacation, Wonderful Property, Fabulous Owners
When you first pull into the property your are amazed on how beautiful it is. Then when you go inside the cottage, you realize how spotlessly clean it is. But the real surprise is when you meet the owners of the property. Carol & Dan are warm, welcoming people who make you feel like old friends. They did everything they could to make our stay relaxing & enjoyable. The cottage is cozy & filled with most of today's modern amenities. Each night we didn't want to go to bed because we were enjoying everything around us, including a great campfire. They even spent one evening with us around the campfire, telling us about all the things they did with the property. When the time to go came, we didn't want to leave, it was just that great of a vacation. If you love the outdoors, make sure you try this property. .

Cannot recommend this place enough!
I could not have found a better place to come and relax at than this place. Despite coming on an extremely stormy night, the hosts went above and beyond for us to make sure my husband and I were okay and had enough supplies. They gave us a ton of info about the surrounding areas and where to go if we wanted to go exploring.
Our pups also had a great time at the camp and had so many accommodating supplies for them if needed.
The wildlife and serene nature that this cabin is enclosed by is reason enough to come back next summer!!! We saw an otter, a beaver, baby turtles, deer, and multiple species of butterflies, birds, and even fish. We quite literally had to stand back and admire the pure beauty this place has to offer.
Thank you Carol and Dan for giving us such an amazing experience and making our stay truly unforgettable in every way!!

A beautiful off-grid getaway
The cottage property in the woods was absolutely beautiful. 115 acres of privacy, private pond for fishing, canoe rides, watching the beavers work on their dams every day. Dan and Carol really thought of every detail preparing the cottage for our stay. Plenty of towels, pillows, and blankets. Places for everyone to sit, a beautiful fire pit outdoors with a stockpile of firewood and kindling. Full complement of cooking supplies including spices, utensils, pots and pans, dishes, paper towels, napkins etc. Mesh bug-proof shirts available for all as the flies can be overwhelming outside. Very large Weber grill with extra propane if needed. We had hoped for wi-fi, which there was not, as cell service is nonexistent in the region, but it turned out to be refreshing to be forced to unplug for the duration of our stay. All in all we had really no complaints. Would definitely recommend and we will likely be returning ourselves.

オーナーについて
オーナー : Carol or Dan Empie #315 376 4433
We live 2 miles up from the cottage on Number Four Rd and have been at that residence for 30 years. Dan is a forester and went to ESF at Syracuse University. He also has his realtor license and works for Timberland Realty. The focus is on listing wooded parcels and some have camps, houses or other structures. To inquire about his listings you can email him at dempie@timberlandrealty.net. Dan,also, does private consulting for forestry & land management. Carol has been an RN for over 30 years which has led to a very varied set of work skills. She also had a wellness & fitness center in Lowville for 11 years. Currently she is focusing on the cottage, looking into other business ventures and works at a medium security prison as an RN.
この宿泊施設のオーナーになった理由
We took care of the property for the 'long distant' owner for years before it became available for sale almost to the day of Carol closing her fitness center. There was a 'land developer' that was interested in the property also. Dr Fritelli was the current owner & had purchased the cottage and pond from Minnie Peck previously, who raised 5 children there. Dr Fritelli loved the property & entrusted much of the care, maintenance and management to Carol & Dan. He had it for his own private use. The developer (whom shall remain nameless) offered Dr Fritelli a fair market price for the cottage & land. Since the Empies had 'first refusal' we were able to match his offer to Dr Fritelli. Of course, the developer came back with a much more substantial offer. We could not match that. Dr Fritelli decided to sell the property to us at the first price and refused the developers. As stated earlier, he loved the property & knew we would take good care of it & share it with others without exploiting it. So, love of the land won against development and 'greener (money) pastures. Way to go Dr Fritelli...if only Ethan Allen & other business used you as an example! We fixed up the cottage to share with others and, also, so we could afford it. We keep the rent very reasonable because we believe everyone should be able to enjoy the serenity of nature. It was a lot of work but we enjoy work (crazy, huh!). Dr Fritelli would be proud. In our guest book he has a portion dedicated to his saying 'good bye' to his much loved land. Our belief is to keep it affordable and always give more than what is expected.
この宿泊施設の特徴
I think the best way to describe the Forest Pond Cottage experience is to simply and truly experience the calm, penetrating healing of nature. Within all the comforts of home you will feel the relief of everyday stress. The cottage truly becomes your home away from home. The wind blowing through the trees, beavers busy being beavers, sunrises over the pond, fish jumping , frogs and peepers in the spring, little turtles trying to make it to the pond, deer wading in the waters edge, coyotes cackling at times it is all magical. There are several great close by places we share with guests as to how to find them. We call them “ the best kept secrets” in the Adirondacks. Visiting here is like finding yourself~
