Nice cabin but more info would have been helpful so we could communicate needs for arrival.

We arrived in the dark and had a precarious process trying to find the entrance. Future guests should know there is no driveway to the door, only a gravel foot path we eventually found the next morning when it was light out. There is very little lighting and we counted on the lights of our cars to find the entrance and carry in our weekend needs. We did not see the path at night and literally stumbled our way carrying all we needed for a weekend with a wedding and infant to the house. Another factor to know is that unloading groceries, baby necessities, luggage will involve carrying your items a distance to the house. In our case four adults made several trips from the car to the house. In the dark and over rocks, etc. While we realize the weekend we were there was one of the first cold weekends, weather forecasts indicated it would be chilly and it was. There was literally no heat turned on in the house. Last minute directions described turning on space heaters. That was the first we heard of the need for space heaters. It was freezing in the house and all thermostats were shut off and we were directed to shut them off when we left again. The house took several hours to warm up and we had made it clear we would have an infant with us. I did not expect to have such an uncomfortable several hours waiting for the house to warm up and keeping a baby warm enough. I encourage the owner or property manager to review the work of their cleaning service. The handles of all the kitchen appliances and cabinets drawers were sticky and grimy. We understand the lack of a dishwasher is more in line with the cabin feel (we also have a cabin) but none of the knives or utensils, strainers were clean and needed to be washed before using. That was very disappointing since it was so time consuming. We switched to paper plates and pre washed all we used. In general the house was not clean. Surfaces like the dining table were sticky. The tree canopy out the windows was beautiful due to fall colors. Walking is very limited since the street of this cabin is off a busy street. We had hoped to walk much more than we did. The bed linens in the master had questionable spots on them. The owner was very prompt about answering our questions and we appreciated that but I did not think we’d have to inquire whether we could see the entrance easily or drive up to it to unload or if the house would be warm enough or at least somewhat warm upon our arrival.

indoor/outdoor living!

This architectural delight is cleverly designed, detailed, furnished and sited, to create a true "camp" indoor/outdoor living experience. We visited the area for a falconry experience and enjoyed visiting the small towns and farmers markets while we were there. But truly, we could have stayed at the house the whole time as it was relaxing and picturesque. Thoughtful and responsive host.

Super Cute Woods Getaway

We loved this property! My friends and Family are not super campers but wanted to get as close as possible, we loved the layout of the house and all the amazing details. My sister brought her 4 week old baby and he slept like a champ the whole time even with out AC! We brought our own extra fans just in case for the bedrooms but the main house was very comfortable with all windows open and house provided fans.

This was a great property to unplug and reconnect as a family. The property is at the end of a nice long private road, it was so relaxing and quiet. My boys had a blast playing ping pong, foosball and spending time on the water. When we go back to NY we will definitely look to stay here again.

Fun, quirky retreat

I went to this property with a handful of friends for the weekend and it was a lovely place to relax and unwind. The house is funky and fun, with a lovely big kitchen/dining/den area where everyone can hang out together. We also really enjoyed sitting out on the deck, and walking down to the lake for paddle boarding and chatting on the dock. The dining table is a generous size for lots of people and it faces the kitchen nicely, perfect for groups spending time together. Camille is a really helpful, communicative host. Everything in the house was just as she said it would be. A couple things to note: it's not as secluded as I expected from the pictures. While still quiet, it's on a street with many other homes. It's not out in the woods on its own. The cabins are adorable and provide really nice separation but they don't have bathrooms. So people staying in those have to come into the main house (even in the middle of the night) if they need a bathroom. And the cleaning fee, while noted in the house description, is not included in VRBO's official calculation of the house cost. Didn't love that. Overall, a great retreat from NYC. We had really fun outings to Blooming Hill Farm, Storm King, and Cold Spring. The lake was fun, and the house was lovely.

Beautiful Lakeview Home

We loved our stay here. My husband, two young kids, grandparents. Not having any TVs was actually a blessing. My kids who normally wake up and watch TV would wake up and read books by the fireplace!! A miracle. They loved sleeping in the cabins. My parents loved the view of the lake all around us. We listened to music, cooked together, went on beautiful hikes, roasted marshmallows by the campfire, made lots of nice family memories. Everyone loved it. And Camille was an incredible host who was so very accessible and gracious.

Quick getaway

This cabin is great! It has an excellent common area. The accordion screen doors were a major plus, although it was raining on out stay the open screen doors made it enjoyable to listen to and see the trees. It was relaxing. I will say that going with younger children it’s uneasy having them sleep in a separate cabin area luckily the futons were comfortable enough for them to spend the night on. Camille was an excellent host. We will definitely make our way back!

Rustic, beautiful, well-stocked house with imaginative design

My family and I really enjoyed our stay here. The house is unusual and clearly a lot of thought and effort went into it. The owner was particularly kind both in her advice on local attractions and in the great care that was apparently taken in making sure the house had everything a guest would need. We especially loved kayaking on the lake, and we even spotted a beaver there, which thrilled us all. :)

Magical Winter Getaway

My husband and I took our two young boys (3 and 4) here for a winter weekend getaway and it was an absolute delight. The house is built so you feel like you are living among the trees and fully enclosed in nature, yet it is only 45 miles or so from NYC. Camille was great at getting us the info we needed and very responsive to all our questions. The inside of the house is beautiful - a very cool combination of creative, industrial and cozy. We loved everything from the pine wood floors to the high ceilings and wood beams. There were lots of things for our boys to do (legos, ping pong, shoveling snow, skiing) and they did not want to leave. We can't wait to go back!
