Old Forge Regulations
Short‑term rentals are permitted throughout Old Forge but require a two‑year permit ($800 for 1‑3 bedrooms, $1,600 for 4+ bedrooms) and compliance with multiple state codes, septic inspections, a local manager who can respond within 24 hours, and a tiered penalty system—moderate fees and procedural steps keep the rules friendly to investors.

About Old Forge
Old Forge is a hamlet (and census-designated place) on New York State Route 28 in the town of Webb in Herkimer County, New York, United States. The population was 756 at the 2010 census. Old Forge was formerly a village but dissolved its incorporation in 1936, but it remains the principal community in the region. As one of the western gateway communities of the Adirondack Park, Old Forge forms an extensive business district, primarily directed at tourism especially during the summer months. The local school is the Town of Webb UFSD, a K–12 institution with the Timberwolves as its mascot (changed from Eskimos in 2023). Old Forge often records the lowest winter temperatures in New York.
