Old Forge for the Eclipse!
We booked this property and filled each bed with friends to experience the eclipse. While the host couldn't control the weather, it ended up being the perfect location (and experience)! The house was just as described and the kitchen was fully stocked with every pan or utensil you could think of, which was helpful as we prepared each meal at the house (all ten of us fit around the table). Central location - we took a walk to the train depot, fire pit was used to cook lunch over, plenty of hot water, heat was responsive (didn't need the blankets she offered). We were very appreciative of the opportunity to save on a cleaning fee and do it ourselves. Host was also generous to flex on the arrival time, as we were staying during the off season.

Beautiful front porch
Red flag when it says they do not hire a cleaning company but expect the renters to clean when they leave which I always do I sweep and mop and vacuum clean the bathrooms but here we also had to wash the sheets and towels which I did. We were told the beds were made with clean sheets when we got ready for bed none of the beds were made we had to search for sheets all the pillow cases were still on the pillows so obviously they weren’t clean. There were no towels in the upstairs bathroom because they were still in the dryer. The one bedroom we couldn’t use because there was a spring poking you in the back. I would suggest new mattress on all beds. Plus right behind the house is another house it is a shared driveway. I have learned my lesson and will never rent from someone who doesn’t have a cleaning company

Excellent Experience
This property is extremely adorable and in a perfect location. It is close to all the amenities and attractions Old Forge has to offer but enough of a distance where it’s peaceful. The property is very well maintained, clean, and spacious. We had 9 people stay and all had plenty of room. The kids keep asking when we will go back! Rhi was phenomenal to work with and get to know. We will definitely be returning and look forward to expanding our friendship with the owners over the years!

Great family getaway
Our first time visiting old forge was wonderful, including our stay at the Bears Den! The town is full of so many things to do, all within just a few minutes drive. The house was spacious and clean, and was stocked with nearly everything you may need! Check in and check out were simple, with straightforward instructions making for a stress-free stay! Communication with the host was excellent as well. I would absolutely recommend staying in the bears den!
