This is a well maintained cabin for private rental, vacation home or relaxing getaway. We are looking for responsible guests to enjoy our cabin located in a remote area.

You can enjoy the well marked walking trails (one mile) weave through the woods where you might surprise a deer or other wildlife or just relax on the porch. The trails are great for snow shoeing or cross country skiing in the winter.

Enjoy the peacefulness of nature! Hear the chirping of the birds, crickets, only non-human noises, and dark sky at night with a clear view of stars and the Milky Way.

Enjoy the large fire pit outdoors for cooking your S'mores over the romantic crackling fire.

Girls trip

My friend and I stayed at the cabin so that we could hike at Letchworth. The cabin was absolutely spotless and I was overwhelmed by the information that Peg left. She had a binder full of local attractions and restaurants and other information about the area. I would absolutely stay again and also recommend it to anyone looking to visit the area.

Perfect “cabin in the woods” with modern conveniences

We had an excellent family retreat. Staying in the cabin is a lovely cozy warm experience. Very clean and well maintained. The cabin and property have their unique personality which makes the stay interesting. Quite a find! We got a cabin in the woods experience with all modern comforts. There are trails on the property and a fire pit and logs and necessary equipment for fire including outdoor furniture. There is wifi, tv, dvds, music. There is a NY state park pass which was very handy for the excellent Letchworth park nearby.

About the host

Hosted by Peggy Schaefer

Host profile image
Bob and I (Peg) are a clean, neat, professional, energetic, fun loving couple who enjoy hiking high peaks, traveling, reading a great book and meeting new friends. We do not watch TV on a regular basis. We prefer pursing our passions - which include all sorts of travel, adventure and exploring new areas. We benefit from sitting on our deck with a drink in the Summer; or sitting in front of the inside fireplace in the Winter.

Bob owns his own business, The Opportunity Group. He's an Organizational Coach, where he transforms Managers into Leaders. He also writes romance/mystery novels [samples at the cabin]. Peg is in charge of Stakeholder Services at the Opportunity Group, and volunteers at the local hospice.

For readers, you may find it interesting to note that much of Bob's Fantasy/Romance novel; JOURNEY, The Love Story of the Century, Part II was written in the cabin. Pictures of the trail from the cabin also appear in Part II. When you sit by the campfire, you will be sharing the same view that inspired some pretty interesting stories. The books may be found on Amazon. To find the books, Google 'Catlan Samuels Journey' (that is Bob's pen name). Part III of the trilogy is under way.

Why they chose this property

We very much enjoy the woods and getting off the grid as much as our busy schedules will allow.
When we are not there, we love to share the cabin with guests, who have a passion for peacefulness, birds, woods, nature and non-human noises.
Even though you are 20 minutes away from most anything, yet you feel like you are in the middle of no where.
Inside the cabin, being surrounded by knotty pine (and the smell of knotty pine), is almost like camping outside with the luxury of a hot shower at your fingertips.
The easy forest trails allow for a casual back to nature experience, or for the more experienced hiker, the 5 mile hike around the block might suit your needs.

What makes this property unique

Cozy Cabin is the perfect spot for couples who want a completely secluded, romantic getaway where no one will find them, but it's also great for families who want to enjoy a woods experience with modern amenities! When guests are ready to come out of the forest, there is so much to see and do all within 15-20 minutes: Letchworth State Park, Stonybrook State Park, Swain Mountain Ski Resort, the Mount Morris Dam, and 7,700 acres of NYS Wildlife Management/wilderness Area to explore! Six Flags Darien Lake is 45 minutes away, and Niagara Falls is just over an hour and a half drive!
If you are planning a day trip to Rochester and the Finger Lakes, check out the many wineries, Strong Museum of Play, Planetarium, Highland Park for their lilacs, and so much more.
