My husband and I had such a relaxing week in this beautiful cabin! It was so quiet, which is what we needed coming from the city. It had everything that we needed and the bed was VERY comfy! We will definitely be staying here again!
We enjoyed staying at this property very much. Home was very clean and functional. We loved the big outdoor space and the privacy of the property. Regarding indoors, everything was ok. We could only use some more lighting in the master bedroom and outdoor area. Overall it’s a great place to stay away from the city!
Everything was perfect with this house, nice comfy bed, indoor fireplace that needed no wood, a deer that would roam around the property, was a distant to go places but we knew in advance, definitely recommended
When I needed to look for a place for my family to stay so that we can attend a funeral I found the perfect place. There's beautiful woods to explore as well as a creek that you can see out the window. There are accommodations for everything you need inside. I'm so glad to have had this opportunity to bring my family from Florida to experience New York like I did as a kid growing up on my grandparents farm.

We're so glad you enjoyed your stay! We would love to host you and your family next time you're in the area!
This property was great! We hunkered down and played games, watched movies, made lots of snacks and meals...the peace and privacy was so nice. The property was well maintained and very clean- only downside was the fireplace was not not in working order - which is not noted on the VRBO site Other that that, everything exceeded expectations :)

We're so happy you enjoyed your stay! We hope to have the opportunity to host you again!
The cabin's seclusion was exactly what we were looking for in a rental. The pics really don't do the property justice. My grandkids came to visit and spent hours outside exploring. In the afternoon/early evening, we sat around the fire pit and enjoyed each other's company. We burned wood the kids found on their adventures.
