Forestport Home w/ Access to Otter Lake

Bachelorette Party

Place was great! Need to really list that you need your own toilet paper and take your own trash. Hate to stay there a week. The refrig ice maker did not work and the sink leaked. But over all a 8 out of 10. Need to lost whar kayak are yours they are not labeled at the lake. Would book again if we had a place to take the trash

Charming House with lots of room

Our family of 11 stayed here and found it to be very clean, comfortable and very spacious! The 3 porches gave nice additional space for the kids to play and adults to hang out! Full well equipt kitchen and comfortable beds. Looking forward to staying here again.

Fix the Windows

We were a family of (12) Grandparents, Parents, and Grandkids. I'll start with the positive. The price was reasonable based on its location, number of bedrooms, and available lake access. The sleeping facilities, kitchen, Livingroom were adequate. The Livingroom is large and accommodating. The beds were made and there was an appropriate amount of towels and washcloths. There was plenty of refrigeration available, a large side-by-side and a drink refrigerator. There are 2 good sized screened porches to enjoy. There is a full-sized washer and dryer in the basement. We needed to use the drier one time to dry towels and it worked fine. I believe that the washer would work fine also. Our number one complaint is that most of the windows could not be opened and there isn't any air conditioning. Most of the windows have storm windows covering the inside windows making it impossible for them to be opened! The owners stated that in 2023 that they plan on correcting this when the season was over, They have not. They are well aware of the problem, they provided 3 or 4 fans plus 2 ceiling fans. The craziness is that some of the downstairs windows already have double hung windows that are covered by storm windows! They could remove those two storms and it would solve a little of their heat problem! If you have ever been in a 2 story home during the summer, you are well aware of the fact that heat rises. There is only one window that opens for the entire upstairs, 2 bedrooms, a bathroom, and a hallway! On our first day there, arriving after the 3PM booking time, the house was closed up and had accumulated all of the daytime summer heat! Our attempt to cool the upstairs area was completely impossible! Once we endured the first night, on the remaining nights we placed all available fans (we brought 4 additional ones with us) strategically around and we managed to remove a few degrees from the upstairs rooms. On the third and fourth nights one of the family members chose to sleep on a cot on the side porch rather than be upstairs! With a small amount of money and a little bit of labor the property could be an easy 4 star. I'm sorry to say this but, As it is right now we will not be returning nor recommending it for renting during the summer months!
