About this property

1960's Log Cabin • Canoe, Fire Pit & Starry Nights

Cozy Log Cabin Retreat by the Pond
Tucked among the pines on 10+ private acres, this renovated 1960s log cabin offers a quiet, nature-filled escape with a simple, vintage camp feel. Spend your days by the pond, your evenings under the stars, and your time here slowing down—reading, writing, exploring, or just listening to the sounds of the woods and wildlife.

The Experience
This is a peaceful, unplugged setting surrounded by trees and wildlife. With low light pollution, the night sky is clear and perfect for stargazing. During the day, enjoy the pond views, fresh air, and the calm of being off the beaten path. Whether you're here for a creative retreat, a quiet weekend, or time outdoors, the space is meant for relaxing and resetting.

Fish from shore or bring a small non-motorized boat

A gem on the RI/CT border! We had a great three-night, midweek stay at the Pine Cabin, complete with plenty of time at the pond, board games on the enclosed porch, s'mores and croquet in the yard, and yes, the stars are phenomenal! Everything was very comfortable. Thanks to Jessica for being a communicative host.

Beautiful secluded cabin. I was in town for a horse show so the only downside was that I could not enjoy the cabin more.

Wonderful weekend retreat! The cabin, the property, and the pond are lovely in a beautiful and peaceful setting. The cabin had everything it promised and all we needed. The outdoor shed offered a charcoal grill supplies, games, firewood, and more. We enjoyed grilling, sitting by the outdoor fire pit, canoeing on the pond, cooking on the filly appointed kitchen, and playing games indoors and out. Jessica (host) communicated well - she was available, responsive, helpful, and thoughtful. She provided precisely accurate driving directions to a place that could be exceptionally challenging to find, and she checked in during our stay with a local ice cream shop recommendation. Would love to return. 6 out of 5!

Jess was super communicative, flexible and helpful. The property is beautiful, just as pictured. Lots of birds, especially hummingbirds, visited the yard and the front porch was where we spent most of our time. Very quiet, comfortable home that has been well maintained. It was the perfect place to stay. Thanks!

Peaceful Retreat

The Pine Cabin is tucked away from the hustle and bustle of life. Inside and out, we were able to relax and enjoy our stay. The house is meticulously clean and inviting. The touches of decor are well done. The outdoor grounds and front enclosed porched were perfect for our dogs to hang out. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you for your hospitality!

The property was just as described if not better! Our stay was amazing. The cabin was quiet and serene. I have never slept better in my life. It felt like we were in the middle of nowhere but well positioned to visit family in CT and RI. Jessica was a true pleasure to work with. Communication was excellent. Directions were very clear. Couldn’t ask for a better host.

We had an excellent experience. The house was as described and pictured...the look and feel of a cabin but the amenities and comforts of a house. Very clean and the kitchen had everything we needed, even sharp knives (a seeming rarity in rentals). Check-in, check-out, access...everything was straightforward. Wi-Fi was very good. Communications were excellent and Jessica was very informative and accommodating. The property is beautiful.

Perfect place to spend peaceful time! Jessica helped me out when I was in a tough position with another property and got me right into hers. The house was immaculate and welcoming. I was so sad to leave after my extended stay. My young corgi Annie also loved the expanse of the property to run and roam. I would not hesitate to stay here again. Even though it’s out of the way, you can still conveniently get to grocery and stores when you need. You will not be disappointed by staying at the Pine Cabin!
