About this property

Adirondack Cottage - Four Season, Pet-Friendly, Cozy & Beautiful. Read reviews!

Forest Pond Cottage is located in the Adirondack Park in Northern New York. Pets are welcome for a small fee per stay/per pet. Access to snowmobile & ATV trails are right from the cottage. It is situated on the edge of a seven acre beaver pond and surrounded by 115 acres of beautiful forest. The cottage is the only dwelling at the end of a town road which allows for easy year-round access yet ensures privacy. With every season there is a whole new variety of outdoor activities to enjoy.

THE COTTAGE
The cottage is an oasis from everyday living with all the comforts of home to recreate from within. There are endless trails for hikers, bikers, cross country skiing, ATVs and snowmobiles. Lakes, streams, rivers, mountains and thousands of acres of State land that is yours to enjoy. We have had everything there from weddings, honeymoons, anniversaries, family reunions to private getaways. It's a great place for individuals to share time & space with loved ones. The owners live only two miles up Number Four Rd; close enough to always be available if & when needed.

INDOOR AMENITIES
All linens for bed, bath & kitchen are provided as well as a fully equipped kitchen. Just some of the amenities include:
Fully equipped kitchen with full size refrigerator,full size gas stove, microwave, coffee pot, all kitchenware and cookware, crockpot, blender, toaster, spices, table and chairs in kitchen.
One bathroom with all linens, shower stall, toilet, sink & very clean.
Living Room features gas heating stove, 3 recliners, an Ethan Allen couch that folds out to a queen size bed, very nice mattress pad in living room closet for fold out mattress (again, all linens provided & very nice). TV, VCR, DVD, DISH satellite, BOSE music system, variety of DVD movies & VHS tapes, games, cards, round table to seat minimum of 4.
Enclosed, screened porch the length of the cottage to enjoy your morning coffee and the wild life as you look out onto the pond. There are tables, chairs & a swing chair for your relaxation. Just down the stairs from the porch is the patio. Nice outdoor furnishings provided.
Upstairs features a queen bed as well as two twin beds in one large room. The linens are very nice and the beds very comfortable. Air conditioning. Off from the bedroom is the balcony. If there is a 'little one' staying, there is a crib that can be provided as well as a high chair.

OUTDOOR AMENITIES
There is a canoe to use on the pond, picnic table & outdoor furniture. Life preservers are there also for canoe ventures. A newly built deck has been added to the pond. A bonfire site for stargazing at night is always fun. There is an outdoor grill for BBQ.

Location of the cottage was perfect for a nice, relaxing weekend offline. The grounds were well maintained and the trails around the cottage were great. Carol and Dan were always available, however we found the cottage already had everything we needed.

Had a very relaxing weekend! You can tell Carol and Dan really care for this place and aren't in it for the money. The cottage was surprisingly modern, very clean and well stocked with kitchen stuff, linens, and pet stuff. They also provide many movies, books, games, and puzzles. Other reviews are correct that this place has everything you could need, plus more. We really enjoyed the popcorn maker!Our dogs loved exploring the woods around the property and wading in the pond. We even took them out in the rowboat. We enjoyed the screen/sun porch. The hammock chair is very comfy! Spent many hours just sitting there enjoying the view. Expected to see more wildlife, but maybe it's still early in the year and a bit too cool.Carol was very easy to communicate with and answered some questions before we even asked. You can tell they are experiened hosts. We will definitely be repeat visitors!

This is a classic Adirondack camp that through love and attention to detail by the wonderful hosts has truly earned the title of Adirondack Cottage. Very clean, welcoming, and has all those little things you dont think about until you need it.

Thank you for your review. Dan and I have had the Cottage for about 22 years now and we’ve loved every moment of it. It’s a wonderful way to meet new people as it is pretty secluded up here. Next spring, we are hoping to redo the whole front porch with much nicer windows, so everyone can enjoy the magical view provided by nature. Our nightly rate has not changed in the 22 years of ownership :) Carol~

Affordable , secluded, beautiful cottage with everything you need! Twenty min drive from town. Definitely a change for my family with a weekend away from the internet but was much needed! Snowmobiling trails right from the cottage were amazing. Aside from the fact my 2up caught on fire, Dan and Carol were amazing through it all. Very welcoming, caring, and made my family feel at ease through the chaos! We were so glad to have a charming cottage to come back to! We cannot wait to stay again, this time for ATV riding!

This was a wonderful place to stay. The owners are caring and attentive with good communication. The cottage is well appointed and dog friendly. Beds are comfy! Big bang for your buck. We had a mid-November stay for rest and relaxation without any plans to do anything. Nice paths near-by, beautiful private pond, quiet spot away from the road, would be extra lovely in Summer and Autumn weather. Kitchen very nice to use. Good bathroom. Definitely would stay here again.

This was genuinely the perfect place to fully disconnect and be present and have a good time. Carol & Dan were amazing hosts and I’m extremely grateful for them.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The only thing that didn't go as well as hoped was the weather.The stairs are difficult to climb, so sleeping downstairs on the (relatively comfortable) sofa bed is a good idea.
