. 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
