I've stayed at the Water's Edge Inn over a number of years and have seen changes both good and bad. Bad was when the Bar and restaurant closed. I use to look forward to the Friday night fish fry and the drinks at the bar. The best has to have been the jacuzzi sweet with the king size bed in... More

I stayed at the Water's Edge on St. Patrick's Day, 2012 (a Saturday). I booked a king leisure suite. It was immaculately clean & cute. I've read that some of the rooms, or maybe all by now, have been renovated. I'm not sure if ours was or not. We had a balcony with adirondack chairs and it was nice enough... More

Price was reasonable considering they were between the snow and summer seasons. It was quiet, and they supplied the rooms with pleanty of towels. The bathroom could have been cleaner, I think they forgot that a clean floor is important. We did not even bother with breakfast. There were not many healthy choices at all- for a few dollars you...

I love Water's Edge Inn. The rooms, view and the staff, Grace, Gaye, Becky & the rest of the girls are just great. We stay @ Water's Edge twice a year, in July as a business trip/mini vacation and in October as a Fall Getaway. There isn't anywhere else in Old Forge that I would consider staying.

I have to say i was annoyed by the NEGATIVE reviews i have just seen on here. My family and i stayed here at the Watersedge this year in June. We had a basic room with 2 beds. The room was very nice, clean, and even though it was one of their smallest rooms we still were comfortable. I was... More

We had the privilege of spending at this delightful propperty. It was the off-season, yet, there was much to do. All of the stores were still open. Our room was right on the lake and had a great view. There was also a private deck with an Adirondeck chair for our relaxation. The room was bright and clean. The staff... More

We were one of the first to check in and asked to change our room from ground level to higher for the view. We were told by the tatooed girl at the front desk, sorry, nothing else available. My husband went back and got another desk person who moved us immediately to another room. That room was not one of... More

The Waters Edge has a very pretty view of the Old Forge Pond (more like a lake) and the village itself. It is in walking proximity to the downtown shoppes and restaurants. And, of course, it is right across the street from Enchanted Forest/Water Safari. You can really save on park admission of you purchase a stay and play package.... More

The Water's Edge inn was much nicer than I expected. Honestly, I was sort of afraid to stay here after reading some of the reviews, but I had already made the reservation. The room was clean and newly decorated. The bathroom was spotless. The halls had new carpet and wallpaper, and even though there were lots of families we were... More
