A lovely cabin in the woods. We enjoyed nearby Thatcher Park, especially the Indian Ladder trail. Also a very nice screened in porch area and firepit. It's a bit far from "city life" but that's what we were looking for!

Fantastic winter getaway

Erika’s cabin is exceedingly cozy and perfect for a weekend getaway from the city. Communication was a breeze. The cabin was super comfy to hang out in and located very close to a beautiful state park. Would definitely recommend staying here!

Beautiful Cozy Cabin

In the words of my 2.5 year old, "wow, what a beautiful house." Our stay was amazing, the house was very cozy, clean and well kept. Erika, the host, was very accommodating and responded to all my concerns in an efficient manner. The bottle of wine she left was a very nice touch! Would definitely book again!

Lovely spot, hidden in the trees. So quiet, and the screened porch was perfect to work puzzles, read, or just sit. Only having one bathroom, it downstairs, meant that the older couple slept downstairs in the smaller bed. But the peacefulness more than made up for it.

Beautiful restored house in Adirondack style

Everything was perfect at the property. It had recently been completely redecorated and we really enjoyed our stay. Erika the owner was a great host and we look forward to visiting again. My wife commented this was the nicest place we have stayed in ten years coming to the area.

Such a sweet place

The owner has obviously really taken her time with and enjoyed the process of setting this cottage up for guests. Everything was so nice that my kids were ready to miss in! Beds are super comfy (even the futon!), plenty of towels, nice toiletries, etc. Really excellent. Looking forward to returning.

47 out of 10, My family and I had an absolutely wonderful time saying here. Erika and Mike were by far the best hosts we have ever had. The cabin is perfectly situated, close enough to the lake and local stores for convenience but private and secluded enough to feel like your way out in the woods. The cabin is cozy and comfortable with a clean lived in feel, well stocked with kitchen essentials and random nick nacks you might have forgotten (the flashlight in the drawer was a life saver). The dock and fire pit were the prefect place to enjoy one of the best 4th of july fireworks shows we've ever seen, add in a bald eagle soaring overhead, a resident beaver, excellent fishing and a complimentary bottle of wine (Thank you Erika) and this vacation turned out to be the best we have ever had. We will absolutely be staying here again. Thank you very, very much.

Incredible experience

My friends, partner, and I absolutely loved our stay in this beautiful, little house in a loft style. The decorations were quaint, and the overall space was clean and comfortable. The late-night walks to the frozen lake were one of the highlights of our stay. We are hoping to return later when the weather is warmer for a different, but probably still phenomenal, experience.

Pleasant stay

We thoroughly enjoyed this cute little cottage for our short stay. My husband and I and our neighbor came up to attend the American Legion event in Altamont. This was a perfect location for that event. We were only 5 minutes away. The house was comfortable, the bed was comfortable, a nice porch on the back to sit out when we wanted to. The owner was very accessible and answered questions immediately. I would highly suggest this for anyone's upcoming stay.

Excellent stay, would absolutely recommend

The cabin was as advertised, if not better. I enjoyed three nights with my girlfriend in this clean, cozy (but spacious) lofted cabin and we already want to go back. Erika was a great host often going the extra mile and hitting every detail we could imagine. The neighborhood was beautifully snow-covered, quiet and peaceful. Even the neighbors were extremely friendly and even helped me with a car issue I had, without me asking for it. Don't hesitate when booking this cabin, it will be hard to find something better.

Relaxing

The house was lovely and in a nice country setting. 2 minute walk to Thompson lake. It was perfect for the 2 of us. There were already condiments, spices and coffee pods. Decorated so country cabin like. Enjoyed the back porch in the morning listening to birds. It was very close to vooresville where family was. If I wasn’t with my elderly mother, I would have gone hiking at thatcher park, pretty much right down the road.

Second time here. The house is cute outside and in. Cozy feel. Nicely decorated kind of like a cabin. The loft upstairs is nicely decorated and comfortable. The screened in porch is great for morning coffee or just sitting and reading or visiting. The kitchen is adequately stocked. Never used the tv. We forgot water so it was nice to have a few bottles there. It’s a nice country setting. Very Close to thatcher park . 17 minutes to pretty alright breakfast club restaurant. So worth it. Go early as it gets busy.

About the host

Hosted by Erika Robert

Host profile image
I am a teacher in a nearby town. When I am not working I enjoy running, hiking, gardening, kayaking, and the outdoors in general. I live next door to this property. My husband and I enjoy building, decorating, and beautifying our town.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this property shortly after we purchased the land next door. We renovated this house and stayed there on and off while building our new house on the property next door. We absolutely loved to come and stay weekends at 53 Betts Lane. Now we live here full time and absolutely love it, we don't think there is a better place to be.

What makes this property unique

The area is very nice. You can walk or run down the back roads around the lake and everyone is friendly and nice. It is a very safe place. Thompsons Lake is a wonderful place to visit. On a summer day you will find people kayaking and fishing. On the weekends you will see some people water skiing, sailing, fishing or enjoying the afternoon on a pontoon boat. The lake is great for fishing, The DEC re-stocks it every year. The water is clean and the area is beautiful.

Premier Host

They consistently provide great experiences for their guests
