Waterfront Camp with Boathouse - Wifi, kayaks, canoe and sandy bottom out front.
Ferienhaus has a big living room with a wall of windows overlooking First Lake on the Fulton Chain. For warm days and nights, you can sit on the front deck or boathouse for eating or sunbathing, but for chilly nights or rainy days curl up near the wood-burning stove in the front living room. We offer 5G Wifi and have a Smart TV in the living room with a pull-out couch for movie nights. The decor is ADK camp style and has a lodge feel with antique skis, paddles, and snowshoes. For entertaining, there is a bar that seats 4 off of the living room for pouring cocktails. In the kitchen, there is a large dining table that seats 10 for big events and dinners. If you love grilling there is an enclosed porch off the side of the kitchen with a Weber grill and table that seats 6. There is a main bathroom off the kitchen that has a bathtub with a shower. For privacy, there is also another bathroom in the master suite, which has a King bed for sprawling out. There are 3 bedrooms in total. One bedroom has a Queen bed right next to the main bathroom. The next bedroom has a Queen bed and near the back of the camp. The highlight for kikds is the loft with a main living space. If you love the water then you'll spend most of your time on top of the deck at the boathouse or the deck off the camp. There are two docks. One dock is next to an open space for walking into the water. It has a sandy bottom and is 4 feet deep. If you are a boater there is a public launch close by. There are 6 parking spaces for you and your guests. If you snowmobile the parking is perfect for your sleds. For the snowmobiling enthusiast, there are rideable roads and a trailer marker right out your door. Linens not provided. Must be arranged at booking for 150.00 fee.

Wonderful week’s vacation at this rental. House is well-equipped, including a counter top ice maker. That was a lovely surprise! We were 6 people all week, 2 additional adults for a few days. Plenty of sleeping options, living area is roomy, comfortable, decorated very Adirondack-y, in a good way. Excellent location. Lake is stunning. So many things to do in the immediate area. Hosts very responsive.

When we first pulled up to the house, we were stunned by the driveway incline & number of stairs up to it, its a cute home/camp, however the housekeeping crew didn't leave the place in tip top shape. The host was wonderful & prompt, she had no idea to the hiccups we ran into. She did her best to make our stay great. We made the best of our trip & the Adirondacks.

Great Location, But Be Prepared for Surprises
The property is conveniently located near Old Forge, and check-in was smooth. We genuinely enjoyed our time overall. However, there are several important details that weren’t disclosed in the listing—especially relevant if you or anyone in your group has mobility challenges.- Trash Disposal: Guests are responsible for taking their trash to an off-site location and must pay for disposal.- Layout Confusion: The house is on one side of the street, while the boat house (featured in the main photo) is across the street. The only level parking is in front of the boat house. - Water Access: Although the listing mentions a sandy bottom, there’s no safe entry or exit point—no ladder is provided, and access requires climbing over uneven boulders.- Stairs & Accessibility: Entry stairs are steep, uneven, and in poor condition. Additional staircases inside lead to the back bedrooms, which may be difficult for those with mobility concerns.- Ants & Food Storage: A note warns guests to store food due to ants, but no designated storage is provided. We kept everything in the fridge and still encountered ants.- Kid Area: the converted attic area is listed as play loft area, which was boarded up with plywood when we arrived, with no explanation.- A new home is being built next door. (Aug 2025)-Grill, cups, plates were filthy (no dishwasher)While the location is a highlight, the property itself is in serious need of renovation and a thorough cleaning.

Home was clean and easy to get into. There were many many stairs to the doors so if you have any mobility issues you will need to rethink the property. Smelled strongly of mothballs and then air freshener. But the amenities were accurately portrayed.

Pleasant family vacation! The canoe and kayaks were a hit with the family. This is definitely a rustic cabin, the loft for kids is a converted attic space but it worked. Plenty of space for our family of 10. There was major construction going on at the house next door, wish we had known that in advance. We vacuumed as requested in the contract after unclogging the entire vacuum, not sure how anyone cleaned prior to that! Overall a nice weekend getaway.

Ok
Our overall stay was good, we had great weather, and the top of the boat house was amazing with the views of the lake. When we first entered the home, it smelled very stale like the windows have not been open in months. We found a candle and opened the windows before the rest of the guests came. There absolutely needs to be more lights on the outside stairs at night. The stairs are steep, and we had to use our lights on our phones to go up and down the stairs at night. It’s dangerous. The neighbors did watch our every move while we were outside and that was a bit of an uneasy feeling-we ended up not having a fire either night because we were being watched. The owner let us know before that we came about the neighbors. Not sure why this listing has a cleaning fee as we needed to sweep, vacuum, do dishes and put them all away, strip beds, and put any linen and towels that we used in the wash and ran through a cycle. Cleanliness of the house was ok.

When you took a shower, outside you could smell the septic tank contents. The attic (where 5 beds were located) was closed off to the heat. It took 2 days before the heat reached there sufficiently. The multiple stairs were icy, the bathrooms tiny. The beds were lumpy. It was quaint and the price was good, but 3 star at best.

Tons of space
We came to this beautiful property with friends and all our kids. There was plenty of space for them to chill and a loft for kids that they LOVED. On the adult side, everything was comfy with two queens and a king in the master. Dock accommodated our boat no problem and was great for fishing. The highlight is the top of the boathouse with an incredible view of the lake and plenty of space to unwind. Fire pit and provided wood made for some delicious smores and some relaxing round the flames. Perfect place for a medium-sized group. Good-sized kitchen with plenty of space for our group to prepare meals and eat. Lovely area at the foothills of the Adirondacks. If you’re heading into the town of Old Forge, bring cash. A lot of places are cash-only. And for boat owners, recommend the DEC launch at Eagle Bay on Fourth Lake. About a 30-minute boat ride to the property that’s quite a treat in and of itself. Enjoy, future visitors!

Nice space- not huge but in a good arrangement. Big kitchen with long picnic table. Full size refrigerator and stove . Nice front deck with lake view, for those who don’t like to walk down to the lake.🤔 kitchen well stocked with appliances, dishes, utensils, cooking tools. Decent amount of parking. Kayaks for use - fun! Life vests. We had 6 adults and a toddler. Plenty of room. We didn’t need to use the upstairs room with 5 single beds - good place for kids.

Great house for fishing
Our group rented the house for a week of fishing. The house is in a great location for fishing the Fulton Chain Lakes they have a great boat house that is nice and deep for fishing boats to dock at.
The house is very comfortable with plenty of space for 5 grown men to relax in and everything that you need is there.
We really enjoyed the patio on top of the boat house in the evening it was very comfortable and has a great view.
The one day that we had rain we enjoyed just sitting on the screened in porch witch is also a bonus when the bugs are bad.
Over all I would highly recommend this house it is a great place to use for a get away trip.

Great Location!
We had a great stay on the property. We booked it knowing it was a 'camp' and it was just that! The interior was much roomier than it appeared from the outside. The layout of the space was cut up, but the common areas were spacious and roomy. The stairs just about killed me by day three - but I'm sure it was good for me to get some extra exercise!!
We did have an issue before checking in with the dog allowance, but the owner responded very promptly and took care of the issue immediately! We would stay again.
