Delightful Property
Derricks property is very clean and well stocked with everything that you could possibly need. The home made bread that he made for us was delicious and the house was beautifully decorated. Would stay here again.

Winter weekend getaway
We found the place very comfortable and cozy! It is about a 10 minute drive to old forge which is so convenient to skiing and hiking. We visit the area frequently and are fortunate to find this place which had everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable and the layout of the house is spacious and inviting. Will definitely stay here again!

Adirondack getaway
My husband and I enjoyed a 2-day get-away in Otter Lake/Old Forge for our anniversary. Derrick's house was warm and cozy, with charming Adirondack-style decore. It was exactly as described in the VRBO listing, including the wonderful home-made bread! Everything was clean and comfortable, with plenty of entertainment options and a book of recommendations for things to do and restaurants in the area.
Thank you, Derrick. We would definitely stay again!

Memorable family vacation
Six of us recently stayed for a three day family getaway. The inside of the house was beautifully decorated in a cozy Adirondack theme. Everything including the spacious kitchen and the one and a half baths were sparkling clean. Our host Derrick was wonderful! his communication was excellent and was readily available when we called with a question. A delicious loaf of homemade bread was on the counter when we arrived which was a very thoughtful touch.
We brought two of our own kayaks but there were another two available to use in the shed so we were able to kayak as a family. Lake entrance, hiking paths and a great little gift shop are just down the road. Old Forge is only a 15 minute drive away. It was a memorable family vacation! Highly recommend!

Very impressed with how clean it was. Access to the lake was close by. The water was beautiful! Close to Old Forge and without the traffic. Route 28 is extremely busy and noisy but that’s not the owners fault. The house was equipped with everything we needed. The beds were extremely comfortable. Derrick also made sourdough bread for his guests, which was a welcoming touch. We would definitely stay in his house again!

Pleasant stay in the hillls
We had a great time. Very relaxed, mostly drank and had a fire rolling in the backyard and a lot of conversation. Rained a little the next day so we watched a little TV and then later when it cleared up we hung outside again by the fire. Fun relaxing trip at a nice home

Long weekend
This cabin is so clean and very nice on the inside. It is located close to everything. Our host even left us a loaf of fresh bread which was such a nice touch. It’s so well done and everything is lovely. Quiet and peaceful. CLEAN- as in spotlessly clean. My only complaint was the beds. The beds are not comfortable at all and slope to a big depression in the middle. I absolutely loved this cabin except for the beds.

Exactly what we were looking for! This was a great location and Central to shopping and activities. The house was true to its description and had every amenity we needed; we cooked at home for every meal, had fancy baths, watched HBO and Netflix, spread out on the large kitchen table for crafts, and drove 20-30 minutes in each direction for shopping. Easy check in and out, clean house, attentive host. Thank you!
