We had a great stay - the cottage was perfect for my partner & I and our 16 year old son (and 8 month old lab). Location was perfect for our needs. The kitchen was well stocked with coffee which was well appreciated! Everything was super clean and check-in was a breeze. We will definitely utilize the cottage again if it's available next time we visit the area!!!

Very nice place

This place was very clean, welcoming and cozy, and had everything you would need for a short stay. They really thought of everything! It's too bad there was a state burn ban, because even the firepit area was well appointed, and a campfire would have been lovely:)

A nice small cabin style home. A little remote, but that's not a bad thing. It reminded me of a cabin on the lake, minus the lake. Every creature comfort & attention to detail was to a "T". I'd gladly stay here again if ever I come back to the region. Only advice would be to have a few marker lights or similar to make it easier to find.

Beautiful little cottage in the trees

We enjoyed a very relaxing stay in this adorable little cottage. Perfect getaway for a couple. We cooked a couple meals, watched a couple movies, even enjoyed the outdoor fire pit! And, of course, thoroughly enjoyed the surrounding area. A gorgeous part of upstate NY!
