Cozy Loft Cabin high above Bashakill Wildlife Refuge

Nestled in the foothills of the Catskill Mountains, Wurtsboro is a charming village just 90 minutes from NYC, celebrated for its natural beauty, outdoor activities, and historic charm. After a scenic drive up a winding rural road, guests arrive at Hiker’s Haven—a cozy, detached Loft located on the same property as our log cabin home, set on three wooded acres above the Bashakill Wildlife Refuge. While trees and foliage limit direct views of the water, you’ll hear birdsong, spot bald eagles or red-tailed hawks, and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. In fall, vibrant foliage reveals glimpses of the Bashakill. The detached studio offers easy access to the Shawangunk Ridge Trail and the Long Path. Relax on the private deck, stargaze, play games, or savor S’mores around the campfire.

In addition to the loft's amenities, Wurtsboro offers visitors delicious dining options like Danny's Village Inn and the Red Dot Vegetarian Kitchen, along with a variety of shops like Gigi's Coffee, vintage clothing stores, and Canal Towne Emporium. Hiking enthusiasts will appreciate nearby state forests like Wurtsboro Ridge, Roosa Gap, and Shawangunk Ridge, which boast some of the best trails in the Hudson Valley. Additionally, the town offers a bustling farmer's market on Friday evenings in the summer months.

For wine lovers, Bashakill Vineyards, a small craft farm winery, is just a stone's throw away from the cabin. The vineyard offers live music, chef-made eats, local beers, and a beautiful experience with marvelous views overlooking the Bashakill Preserve in the Shawangunk foothills.
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchenette and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a sofa bed, a coffee maker, and a dining table.

Great spot! Only thing to really be aware of that I didn’t realize (probably my own fault) is that unless you bring equipment to cook over a fire you will need to leave for meals

We loved our stay. Hosts have provided so many thoughtful details and were delightful. The AC was excellent relief on the hot humid August days. The views into the woods and glimpses of the ridges in the distance through were soothing. The dirt road on the way there made us feel like we were leaving all civilization behind only to arrive at a peaceful and comfortable sanctuary. Exactly what we were looking for. Thank you!

Cozy loft overlooking Bashakill marsh

Our host had everything ready, AC was on and keys were inside. The loft was rustic , but clean and neat. All of our necessities were met. The location is very rural and close to many opportunities for kayaking. Also, they had free snacks! They are dog friendly as well.

Lovely Escape!

This charming little loft was the perfect escape. It was exactly as described — beautifully decorated and fully equipped with everything we needed. The location is incredibly peaceful yet still close to the highway and town. We loved making s’mores by the fire pit, and the hosts couldn’t have been nicer.

Nice place...

Nice place; plenty of hot water, clean towels, enough blankets - air conditioner worked well, comfy bed. This place is nicely out of the way but neighbors very close. Steep hill to access house, should probably state need an suv/suv type vehicle or truck to manage as we had a car. The car did ok but there is a large rock and a few deep areas to maneuver over/thru. No hiking/trails able to be accessed from house, unable to ride road bike from house due to gravel road. Also maybe mention there is no stove/ oven or hot plate of any kind, also only a dorm size fridge with small freezer... not apartment or full size fridge, limited dishes- mostly 2 of each only. We made it work, enjoyed the small town instead... ventured to town to a nice bkfst/lunch spot and pizza from Gotta luv it pizza.States door is open for entry when arrive, key inside but unable to find key when we left for town.

The perfect surprise engagement weekend getaway!

There aren’t enough great things to say about this place—it was absolutely perfect! We spent a long weekend here, and it was everything we could have hoped for. The location was secluded yet conveniently close to great restaurants and stores. There are also plenty of excellent hiking spots nearby. The bed was incredibly comfortable, featuring an adjustable base box spring, which was a nice touch. Josh, the host, was fantastic—extremely kind, quick to respond, and very accommodating. We felt truly welcomed from start to finish. This was by far the best experience I’ve ever had with a rental, and we will definitely be back again!
