This was my second trip to this cabin, this time with a group of girlfriends. I absolutely love this cabin! It’s always clean and stocked with all of the essential cooking supplies (including a convenient way to buy firewood!). The rooms are comfortable, the living room is cozy, nights around the fire pit and mornings on the deck with coffee are perfect! It’s very close to all of the Ricketts Glen hikes - which is why I came back with the group! Our host Jessica was easy to communicate with, and was very responsive through the booking process. Really love this property, and can’t wait to come back again!

Adorable cabin in a great location

The cabin is located conveniently across the street from a hotel that has a bar and food, and less than 3 miles from the beach of Lake Jean and Rickett's Glen Falls Trail. It's secluded and the property is beautifully maintained. There were only two negatives: the first being that we stayed here when it was 90 and there is no AC upstairs where the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms are. Luckily we didn't have guests or additional people with us, as it would have been truly uninhabitable to stay upstairs in the summer. I don't remember this being specified in the listing. The second was that it was a 20 charge for linens, but we were only provided with two small pillows and a tiny blanket that barely covered the both of us. I would recommend skipping the added fee and bringing your own sheets and blankets. Otherwise, overall great experience! Also, there is wood on the property available for sale which added to the convenience. Would stay again, but not in the heat of summer.

Spacious cabin with full kitchen. We enjoyed our one night stay. Very close to the Falls Trailhead, which was why we were in the area.

One-night Stay

Check in was very easy and convenient. The Inn appeared clean and had a nice atmosphere. There was an unpleasant preexisting odor that we could smell walking into the Inn coming from both bathrooms. One bathroom was off the downstairs bedroom. The odor from the bathroom leaked in from the walls to where we could not sleep in that bedroom at all. The hand soap dispensers were so used that hardly anything was coming out of them because it was leaking from the sides. When I turned on the fan in the downstairs bedroom, large clumps of dust flew everywhere. After two showers, we ran out of hot water.

Perfect location for hiking Ricketts Glen

I found Cabin in the Woods (aka Fish Tales Inn) from reading comments on Facebook regarding the Falls Trail at Ricketts Glen State Park…absolutely perfect location if you are looking to do the same…and the 21waterfalls are beautiful!!! There is a huge fire ring for making campfires to stay warm at night, make mountain pies, smores, etc. Two grocery stores are nearby (Country Fresh Market and Mountain Fresh Supermarket) if looking to buy your groceries there. However, Country Fresh Market does not sell corned beef at the deli, except around St. Patrick’s day, if wanting to make rueben mountain pies…may want to plan ahead for that. Highly recommend and we are actually talking about a return trip maybe for next year. Jessica was very responsive with any changes and questions we had as well.
