Great experience at Old Forge cabin

The property was better than expected. Well stocked with supplies. Great view of the river. We even had a family of deer visit us daily. I would highly recommend renting this property .

Cute cottage

Cute cottage, but you are required to bring linens (which I don’t believe is clearly stated in the listing) and there is no process in place for trash— unless you happen to be departing Friday morning, the host requires that you bring your trash with you or drop it at the transfer station. However, the host doesn’t even leave tags for the transfer station: you need to go to the town hall (closed on weekends). That process needs improvement.

Chalet in a Perfect Location

This chalet is a fantastic rustic yet very comfortable place to stay just off the main strip in Old Forge. The interior is a great layout a flat screen TV, fireplace, dinnette with all the required amenities to eat in, relax & watch a movie, or play family board games. Fire pit was great for doing S'mores and both decks are perfect to enjoy your coffee in the morning. The location is on quiet backstreets for walking with kids. Various local shops /eateries, Kinney Drugs and FastTrac are all walk-able. Owners communicated well throughout the process; we have already recommended to others and would request again.

Cozy cabin on Moose River

Great property on the Moose River with walking distance to Old Forge shops and restaurants. We enjoyed the views, and fire pit overlooking the property. Deer casually roaming around the neighborhood. Great space for a girls trip. The cabin has everything we needed for our getaway. Highly recommend this place and even better if you bring your Kayaks. Great hikes very close by.

Spring Break Fun

We had a wonderful long weekend at the cabin. The cabin is modern, clean, and centrally located to all of the fun. It is so unique to have quiet waterfront property in town and be able to walk to the coffee shop! We enjoyed hiking, fishing, catching a movie, and shopping at the famous hardware store. We hope to be back soon.

A wonderful winter week

We had a wonderful winter week stay at the Sci Sci Chalet. It was clean, comfortable, quiet, and had a cook’s kitchen. Having the grocery store within walking distance was really nice. We hope to return this year with warmer weather to enjoy kayaking the beautiful Moose River right from the back yard. We had a wonderful time skiing and spending time with family.

Sweet little house on a river right next to a great little town. It’s totally walkable to restaurants and fun little shops. The house was spotless with many seasonal decorations. Beds were comfortable. Ample parking. We would gladly stay here again.

Cozy, Clean and Comfortable!

Our party of five had a wonderful time in Old Forge, and staying at the Sci Sci Chalet was perfect! The chalet is absolutely adorable, lovingly and artistically cared for. The owner's beautiful artwork around the place was a fun to discover! The setting- walking distance to town, yet on the river, couldn't be better. The beds were comfortable, and the kitchen is beautiful and so well appointed - not only an amazing assortment of pots, pans, glassware, bowls etc., but all the kitchen essentials you can imagine including cleaning supplies, spices, tea, and sugar. We cooked some great meals together in the spacious kitchen and really enjoyed the wood stove- which also comes with a huge supply of wood. The only minor surprise was having to share the dock at the river front with the other renters who were staying in the owners' small cottage down hill from the main chalet. Also, if you come for a weekend, be prepared to dispose of your own garbage. But, over all this rental experience was wonderful, the chalet has an open, comfortable layout, and was perfect for our special Adirondack visit. Thank you!!!

A quiet home in a perfect location

The Sci Sci Chalet was a great option for Old Forge! It is in walking distance to downtown, but is set back so at night was perfectly quiet. The beds were comfortable and the outside space is great. What a lovely home!

Vacation in the Mountains

We had a relaxing time at Sci Sci's Chalet. Close to town and the river allowed us access to Old Forge as well as the lake and Moose River. The house had a lot of seating and helped us relax, read or take a nap. Additionally we all cook in our family so we were delighted with all of the kitchen ware.

Superb stay.

So staying at Claire’s place was an absolute pleasure. Everything we hoped for we received. Quiet nights, very clean place, and very comfortable. The way she decorated her house gave the true meaning of how every cabin should look in the Adirondacks. We loved sitting on the deck at night looking at the stars and in the morning looking at moose river while drinking are coffee. . But won of the best treats for us was when the deer greeted us at the front door. Could not believe how friendly they were. So we want to thank you Claire for a wonderful stay and will see you next year.

The Chalet was amazing! My family would definitely like to stay here again. Other reviews are very accurate. It was clean and provided sufficient space. The proximity to town was great! Not even a 5 minute walk to Route 28. The Moose River is in the backyard and my son and his friend were able to kayak and fish at any time. I highly recommend this charming chalet!

Old Forge cottage

The cottage met 95 % of my expectations. The cottage is immaculate!! Within walking distance of the village downtown and very quiet. Would like to rent the cottage again…it was a privilege. Had deer visit the cottage several times. Many decorative items inside the cottage most suited for adults and well disciplined kids. Our grandkids were told to respect the property and they did.
