Everything was amazing
Everything was amazing. Brandon and Corey left everything perfect for us. We appreciated having time together as a family. The kitchen has everything you will need to make food. The house is fully equipped. We did not have any issues, but if we did we knew help was only a quick call away which was very reassuring. Thanks for sharing your house with us!

Thanksgiving holiday
We rented the house for our Thanksgiving and had a great time. It was the perfect quiet spot to spend time with family. There were plenty of things to see on our walks and my son had a great time playing on the frozen shore of the lake. Highly recommend this spot if you are looking for a quiet place to get away together!

So relaxing!
We spent four days in the cabin. It was very clean and had everything we needed. The kids loved collecting shells on the sandy beach. We went hiking on some of the trails nearby. We had a great time!

Great ADK getaway
This waterfront Adirondack vacation spot is beautiful. The house was spacious, clean and well equipped with everything we needed. Our host was very hospitable and responsive. We enjoyed the fire pit, playing outdoor games and relaxing on the deck. Our dogs loved swimming in the lake. We definitely recommend the Buddy Lodge and plan to stay there again.

All the comforts of home
The Buddy Lodge is an A+ rental with an A+ host. We travel regularly for work and pleasure, and needed a place to stay in the Forestport area for a week and a half on a job site. If you have to live on the road, it’s hard to do better than this. While an entire house is a bit much for one couple, we really appreciated the fully equipped kitchen (including the excellent Bosch dishwasher), laundry machines, and wifi. The house is comfortable down to -19 degrees F (yuck). The entire house is clean, comfortable, attractive, functional, and very well appointed. All we needed were groceries. The lake view is lovely. After it snowed over a foot, someone came by and cleared the driveway while we were at work. Check in and out was as easy as it gets, and we appreciated how Brandon accommodated our unavoidably uncertain schedule. It’s beautiful here and we would definitely book again.

Beautiful Adirondack winter weekend
The Buddy Lodge was the perfect setting for a fantastic winter weekend. Everything is clean and new. The kitchen is well equipped and Brandon left coffee,tea and delicious cocoa bombs for us. The beds are comfortable and the view of the frozen lake spectacular. Even though the temperature outside was in the single digits it was warm and cozy inside. We had a fantastic time snowshoeing near Old Fordge just a half hour drive and then had fun shopping in town. We also were lucky to ski at Snow Ridge 30 minutes away in 8 inches of new snowand no lift lines!. We will be back!
