About this cottage rental

. Welcome to The Guide’s River Cottage — a spacious, newly renovated home that blends peaceful riverfront living with the convenience of being just steps from Old Forge’s Main Street. Shops, restaurants, grocery, mini golf, and ice cream are all nearby, while back at the house you’ll feel tucked away in your own Adirondack retreat.

The heart of the home is the super open-concept great room, where the kitchen, dining, and living spaces flow together with beautiful river views. Step outside to enjoy multi-level decks with Adirondack chairs, grill on the gas grill, and gather around the gas fire pit under the stars.

The river is your playground here — launch the three provided kayaks and watch turtles and fish in the water, float to nearby sandbars, or paddle up gentle rapids. Guests often spot wildlife right from the property too: deer, otters, ducks, cranes, songbirds, and squirrels are regular visitors.

Sleeping arrangements are perfect for families and groups with 3 queen beds plus a bunk room for kids. Fresh linens and all essentials are provided.

During your stay you’ll enjoy:
• River adventures: 3 kayaks, sandbars, and light rapids nearby
• Family-friendly touches: toys, board games, high chair, kids’ dishes, and pack-and-play
• WiFi, Smart TV, and a desk setup for remote work
• Off-street parking for multiple vehicles
• Pet-friendly policy ($50 flat fee) so your furry friends can join

We had a lovely time. The cabin had a beautiful view and every amenity we would need. We took our two pups and there was even a puppy park within walking distance. Great location and great communication.

Beautiful property right on the river, Jason was beyond helpful answering all questions and concerns. We absolutely loved our stay and made our parents Old Forge lovers, already booked our trip for next fall at this location. Would also be a fabulous stay for anyone with children, absolutely kid friendly. Thank you for sharing this beautiful home with us and see you next year!!!

The location of the cabin was perfect. The back porches overlooked the river making for an enjoyable stay. The kitchen was not very well equipped: missing any mixing bowls, Spatulas, and working can opener. The stand alone AC could not keep up with the need. A few more chairs for the dinning table would be helpful. We had a lot of towels and a good washer/dryer, but no wash cloths or hand towels.
