About this property

Romantic Log Cabin on Privately-Owned Lake with Fireplace

TOTALLY PRIVATE!!! Our 85-acre parcel of land located in northern Dutchess County offers a variety of terrain for exploring - woods, streams, meadows, and even a gorge.

The log cabin, on the shore of our privately owned three and one-half acre lake, is the only dwelling on the lake. The closest neighbor to it is close to 1/4 mile away.

A large, stone fireplace and a picture window overlooking the lake are the special features of the cabin as well as the covered front porch with hanging chairs and redwood sofa and chairs. Sleep on a queen sized sofa bed in our large living room. There are also chairs and hammocks hanging outside from a number of trees.

Outdoor cooking is made pleasurable with your choice of a gas grill or a stone charcoal barbecue, and dining is done on a large picnic table sitting on a fieldstone patio or on a picnic table at the dock area. You can also dine inside in front of the picture window, if you prefer. A herb garden (in season) offers a choice of 12 different herbs to use in your cooking!

Outdoor lighting is extensive if you desire it. We prefer the stars and moonlight reflecting off the lake!

Lovely getaway

Beautiful, peaceful little one-room cabin right on a small lake. We had a wonderful time -- fireplace, rowboat, sunny porch, hiking in the surrounding woods, no one else around. Hudson valley (Red Hook, Poet's Walk) within driving distance.

Love this cabin

The cabin is really cute & has wind chimes & garden art all around it that integrates so perfectly with the natural oasis it is set in. This is a great place for a nature loving couple to enjoy. Singing birds, frogs, turtles chipmunks & fish in the lake, are the only neighbors you will notice o this beautiful property. Karen is a lovely gracious host and both she and the cabin are very welcoming & charming. Its a perfect spot go to with your soulmate & reconnect with nature.

Nice rustic getaway

My wife and I stayed here for a week in July. We met the host Karen at her house which sits maybe 1/4 mile down the road from the cabin. She was very nice and took time to show us around the rental cabin which was very private and right at the lakefront. We enjoyed the rope hammock swings on the front porch while looking out onto the lake. Fishing was great both from the dock and from the rowboat. Plenty of seats and hammocks scattered around the property. The cabin was well stocked with all the necessities. Overall we really enjoyed out stay and Karen was great. Looking forward to coming back next year.

Beautiful place to relax

Beautiful plants all over. Although it raiend while we were there, it was so nice to hear the differnt wind chimes as the winds came. Loveley natural wonder of a cabin. Karen was a great host & checkin/checkout was a breeze. Its a perfect spot for a couples getaway. I have seen a crane, some miniature chicken looking bird, deer, blue jays,turtles, pretty big fish, and lots of lovely flora. Very peaceful & close to nature.

Piece of Heaven

If you are looking to getbaway from the hustle and bustle of life, unwind and relax in a slice of heaven this is your place. Karen is the sweetest host and I am very thankful she is wants to share this hidden rusty gem. Sitting on the back porch swing looking at the lake, listening to nature and reading a book was just what we needed. Looking forward to making more memories at our new favorite get away. Thank you Karen

Weekend Getaway

Karen and Serge's cabin for 2 nights provided the perfect reset from the city. The property is so peaceful and beautiful providing the right balance of tranquil relaxation with the sound of local or migrating birds on a mirrored lake.Grilling on property was a pleasure but I would also highly recommend the local market and restaurants too. We had delightful bites and coffee each day from Big Rock Market.10 out of 10 would stay again.

Secluded gem

Amazing location on a completely private small lake just a few minutes off the Taconic Parkway. Host is very helpful, and very artistic. Sleeping on a pull out couch was initially off-putting, but it is very high quality and fairly comfortable, and works for the space. So many birds to see and hear! Nice hiking trails on the large property, which has adjacent preserved land.

RELAXING, ROMANTIC and BEAUTIFUL!

My husband and I celebrated our 30th anniversary at Karen's cozy cabin. We enjoyed the quiet and relaxing atmosphere and complete privacy. We enjoyed hiking the many trails on the property, relaxing in the many hammocks on the grounds, the fireplace, and the row boat. Karen was a wonderful host and was very helpful! The ice cream sundaes were delicious. We will definitely be back!

My fiancé and I had an amazing stay at this cabin. Very quiet and peaceful and lots to do just on the property alone. The host Karen was very nice and welcoming, left us ice cream sundaes and set up a birthday sign for my fiancé on our arrival! Beautiful cabin and very private, we will definitely be back!

Back to basics with view and privacy

The owner has stocked the tiny kitchen with so much, even m&m's Just bring your food and wine. The porch overlooking the lake is perfect. But there are so many places to enjoy the location and just chill. We enjoyed seeing the resident heron, rabbit, birds, butterflies, and even deer (on our walk). The gas Weber is perfect for taking the cooking out of the kitchen, and I loved the red (additional) fridge outside the door (summer only). It's not our typical getaway from NYC, but we'll be back!

Great cabin and relaxing lake. Not much cell signal but I was surprised that the internet there is actually blazing fast - great for videos, etc. No one around so nice and peaceful - great way to recharge for a couple nights. Will be back!

Lovely serenity

This is a great property that is well kept with trails to hike, stars at night, a pond to hear frogs and tons of dragonflies and fireflies. It’s stuff made up of a place you would see on TV. Lots of hammocks and chairs around and my favorite place was the deck overlooking the pond - especially at night.
