This cute cabin was a real find! It was SO clean and beautifully situated- an ideal spot to get away from it all. Erika thought of everything when it came to stocking the cabin prior to our visit too - it was just like home. We will definitely keep this location in mind for future trips… only we plan to stay longer next time! Thank you for being such wonderful hosts!
Very happy with our stay! Check in was easy and seamless, the cabin was clean and in great shape, everything worked and we had everything we needed. Would stay there again.
This property might be on the small side but it has everything you will need for your stay. It’s very nicely decorated and clean. Owner stocks the house with all the toiletries, soaps, towels, various spices and condiments…the list goes on and on. Communication is also very prompt and easy. We will definitely come back again. Thank you!
The cottage is as cute as described. The screened in porch was lovely and the shade from the trees kept the house comfortable even in 80 degree weather. We enjoyed our stay.
This is a really cute house, close to a little lake. The host had everything we could want and the house was clean and well appointed. The house was a highlight of our trip.
This house is absolutely adorable - so well kept and nicely decorated. Perfect for a weekend away. The lake its on is truly beautiful. The kitchen is well stocked. The house is honestly far more beautiful than the pictures make it seem!!We had two minor issues- the wifi wasn’t working well so we couldn’t watch TV - wasn’t a problem because we were out enjoying the area! The hot water also has a very sulfur smell but the toiletries provided were lovely!
This was closer to our family and so appropriate for casual meals and livingroom conversations...so much better than any "Albany" hotel. Next time, we'll be sure to schedule time to hike in Thacher Park. We did take in the Carrot Barn...dont miss it when you stay at Erika's!
Lovely, cozy getaway that was perfect for family to stay during the Thanksgiving weekend. Everything was super soft & comfortable. It was like being in a secluded cabin in the woods. Especially loved the loft!
The house was perfect. We were visiting family who live in the area and this location was just right. The amenities were ideal, the host was very responsive and the holiday decorations were a nice touch. Will absolutely be back.
This was a Cozi place to stay for the fall time, we were visiting family nearby. The hosts are very nice people and live nearby, and the house had some extra supplies if needed.
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!

About the host
Hosted by Erika Robert
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.
