Bearfoot Camp~ Luxurious Home on 5 Private Acres Pet Friendly

About this space
Nestled in the heart of the Adirondack Mountains, our family vacation home of over 20 years is now being offered for rent. Tucked away on five private wooded acres, this lodge-style home is located in Old Forge, a gateway to the Adirondacks.

The space
The property contains four bedrooms, two full bathrooms, an expansive wrap-around porch, two-person jacuzzi tub ensuite, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a beautiful two-sided wood-burning stone fireplace with firewood included. The open floor plan of the kitchen, living, and dining room are perfect for entertaining or spending quality time with family and friends. Gear up in the heated, oversized two-car garage and head out directly across the street for snow-shoeing, cross-country skiing, and snowmobile trails! In the warmer months, you can lace up your hiking boots and hike these trails leading to lakes, dams, and the Moose River. The large private backyard serves as a great place to play your favorite yard games and come together around the fire pit.

The retreat is only 1/2 mile from McCauley Mountain where you can find skiing and mountain biking trails, and ride the chairlift year-round to take in the beautiful views. Located one mile from town, you’ll find restaurants, shopping, bars, bakeries, a movie theatre, gym, coffee and ice cream shops, ice rink, public beach, dog park, and the Fulton Chain of Lakes where you can enjoy swimming, fishing, kayaking, and boat rentals. New York’s largest theme waterpark Enchanted Forest Water Safari, named the #4 water park in the U.S. is located just one mile from Bearfoot Camp.

We invite you to make everlasting memories as we have over the years. We hope you enjoy the beauty and serenity of this Adirondack Base Camp. *Town of Webb Short Term Rental Compliant.*

Second time staying here and we loved it even more. Everything is easy, kitchen is well-equipped, having the extra kayaks made it easy to take everyone out in the water, fire pit is terrific with plenty of wood. Michael is very responsive to questions and concerns, house is immaculate. We had a great time without having to go out to get things we needed because it’s all there.

Central Place to Stay

It was a bright and clean central place to stay. The house was decorated in the ADK flair right down to the towels. We couldn't fit in all the activities we wanted but we still had an enjoyable time. Deer even visited.

Very clean and nice. Great kitchen facilities. Easy getting in. The high chair was a nice touch this year! Bed downstairs was too high for my 91 year old mom but we had a step stool we brought along and that worked. Real nice porch! Great hosts that answer questions in a timely manner. Thank you for another great vacation time.

Perfect location! Family friendly

My family enjoyed our stay! Great location and close to downtown. The kids loved enchanted safari that we went back two times in 1 week! We went to the public beach and also rented a boat for the day! We did hike Rocky Mountain which was a short drive but great for my kids to hike with a beautiful view. The house provided everything needed to enjoy your stay! The kids and dog loved running around in the back yard and roasting marshmallows in the fire pit. Everything was very clean! Great hosts! Would love to go back. Thank you!

Our Barefoot Camp Vacation

Such a beautiful home on a wonderful 5-acre wooded lot. We are already talking about another stay! The amenities are top notch and communication with the owners 5 Star! It must be fabulous in the Fall. I, personally, did not feel like I needed to go anywhere else but Barefoot Camp. I highly recommend this property for couples and families!

Old forge no snow but fun

This house was one of the nicest houses I have used via this app. The location , the cleanliness, the amount of supplies, made for a perfect trip as there was no snow to ride snowmobile. However, I have two grandkids that had a great time. I would highly recommend this property, the owners pay attention to detail.

Great house just outside of town

Had a great stay at Mike and Michele’s place, close to town which was super convenient and also could bring the dog which was a huge plus for us. Mike is quick to communicate and respond to questions. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a stay in the Old Forge/Thendara area and would love to come back and stay again if possible. Thank you so much.

Snow snow snow

We finally got all the snow in OF and this house was perfect for our group! Communication was great prior to arrival, and coordination with the property manager was superb. We rode every day and the property is located so that you can go N S E or W to hit new trails easily. The house itself was super clean, super cute, and made for an awesome home base when we got done for the day, cooked a big meal, and thawed our sleds! Thank you so much for letting us use your house!

Late Summer Birthday/Family Hangs

Had a great time with lots of space for the dogs and high energy kids. Property is secluded enough to feel a little lost amongst the wildlife (deer and squirrel) but close enough to Old Forge for the bear (we saw two in town...) necessities and some very accommodating restaurants (Old Mill, Keyes Pancake House, Walt's Diner and Slickers). We spent a good amount of our time on property and had plenty of available room for everyone to really do their own things. Great stay,. property, and host!

Excellent family trip

Perfect location and property for family vacation.Great room arrangement for people with young kids so variable sleeping times are easy. Beautifully maintained property with things to do on site but also hiking trails and canoeing options ridiculously close by. All the comforts of home from kitchen to fire pit to comfy beds. Very well set up for bringing a dog too. Michael and caretaker Meg were responsive and helpful. Can’t imagine anything I would change. We will be back!

Loved it

We had a wonderful, restful (albeit rather chilly and rainy) week in the Adirondacks at Bearfoot Camp. “Camp” is a bit of a misnomer; this is a lovely all season extremely comfortable large home. The property is really pretty secluded and very quiet. The beds are great, water pressure great, and no lack of hot water. The decor was very ADK! We had daily visits from very friendly deer (including 3 large bucks with full velvet covered antlers—one a 10 pointer). The kids had a blast at Water Safari, despite the weather. We found Mike to be most responsive. Meg (the local caretaker) was also very helpful and easy to reach. Definitely a 5/5 from us! We would love to stay again in the future.

What A Deck

So let me start with by saying the check-in was simple, and the communication with the owner was great. The kitchen has everything you would need for making meals including a drip and Keurig coffee makers, ice machine that we used often, and a toaster oven which we like. Our 2 best areas where the dinning room with the beautiful windows looking over the yard, and of course the beautiful LARGE deck. We all just loved sitting on it for the morning coffee, and the grand-kids liked playing on it. The firepit was also very nice with plenty of firewood to use.The location is great for being close to town and stores so you don't have to drive far for things to do.Now some things we didn't care for but not a deal breaker to not stay here. It's on a busy road so you do hear cars driving by when you're on the deck. There are a ton of animal heads throughout the house and bedrooms. Wasn't sure if it would bother the grand-kids but it didn't. There is a master bathroom which is really nice, but be aware you end up sharing it with the other bedroom that's upstairs as it's the only bathroom upstairs. The beds upstairs were fine, but downstairs not so much. My son ended up sleeping on the couch for the week because it hurt his back. The grand kids being small it didn't bother them.All in all, we had a great stay.

Beautiful home

My friends and I stayed at this property this past weekend. We come to Old Forge often, but this was our first time at this home. It’s a beautiful house set a little into the woods offering privacy and quiet. The house itself is gorgeous and was perfect for the 5 of us the each be able to gather together and also have our own space. The property was clean and there were so many touches that made it feel like home. We enjoyed fires each night inside and also discovered an adorable little shed outside that had another gathering space. This home is close to town but far enough away to offer a break from the business of Old Forge. We hope to stay again. Thank you!
