This property was one of my favorites! All the luxuries of home in a perfect cabin up in the picturesque Catskill Mountains. My only regret was that I wasn’t there longer. I was staying for an event and was away most of the day. Super clean, super comfy and super quiet.

I have stayed in many rentals and this was one of the best. It was very clean. Although small, it was as described in listing. The extra touches were appreciated with cookies and coffee/tea. Everything needed to cook was supplied. It was stocked with towels, body wash & shampoo. Despite the size, it had a washer/dryer too. We would definitely stay here again if in the area.

A cozy, perfectly-appointed cabin! I want to come back for a longer stay. Every possible detail and comfort, including washer-dryer (and detergent), fully equipeed kitchen, and all needed supplies, spices and condiments. Perfect lighting, good taste, lovely yard with outdoor furnishings. The kicker was the guitar and ukelele hanging in the closet with the sign "Yes you may." A perfect location if you are attending the Ashokan Center, visiting Woodstock or just exploring the beauties of the area.
