About this property

Cozy cabin with deck and fireplace steps from White Pond Lake. Dog friendly.

A quiet, dog-friendly hideaway just over an hour from NYC, set on picturesque White Pond and designed for slow mornings, deep rest, and time outdoors—with beautiful winter lake views.

This charming Adirondack-style cabin is nestled in nature and thoughtfully decorated with unique, artful treasures from around the world, creating a soulful, cozy space for rest and reconnection. Inside, enjoy a living room with cathedral ceilings, a fireplace for fire-lit evenings, and a sleeping loft that adds warmth and character.

Spend your days swimming, boating, fishing, or kayaking in the pristine lake during warmer months, hiking in the surrounding woods or nearby state parks year-round, and birdwatching throughout the seasons. In winter, enjoy peaceful lake views through the trees, unhurried mornings indoors, and quiet afternoons by the fire, followed by stargazing from the deck beside a gas or wood-burning fire.

The property features a fenced-in backyard with seasonal lake views, making it ideal for dogs, as well as 2 BBQ grills and picnic table for relaxed outdoor meals. The setting offers calm, privacy, and a true sense of escape, while remaining conveniently located just minutes from I-84, the Taconic Parkway, and Metro-North.

Perfect for couples, solo travelers, or anyone seeking a quiet weekend getaway or longer hideaway retreat.

Dog-friendly. $70 fee for up to two dogs under 45 lbs.

Come for the lake. Stay for the magic.

This was such a lovely, peaceful place to stay. The backyard, the lake just down the road — it feels like you can be in nature without having to drive there. Highly recommend asking about the firewood and s’mores bundle.

I would like to start out by saying that this property does have many glowing five star reviews, so please refer to those when deciding to stay at this cabin.Overall, I feel that this cabin was misrepresented in the reviews. The whole reason I chose to stay here was for walkable lake access. It was described as being “steps away” from the lake, but unfortunately, the footpath to get to the lake was overgrown with weeds and poison ivy, making it unsafe and impossible to transverse.. The owner then told me the best way to get there was to drive, which was disappointing and not what was described in the listing. The bathroom sink and bathtub did not drain, forcing you to stand in dirty water. the water pressure in the shower is so weak, I could not effectively wash my hair. It is also very hard to wash dishes in the sink, because only a weak trickle comes out. I had initially planned on giving this place 3 stars, but when I tried to express my complaints to the host, she accused me of bringing an oversized dog and billed me. My dog was within the weight requirements, something she didn’t ask for proof of before trying to charge me. A shame some people can’t accept constructive criticism. Stay if you wish, but be prepared for retaliation if you have any complaints.

To our future guests: Please see all of our wonderful reviews from happy guests that return to our cabin because it’s a wonderful little place to unwind and enjoy. We’re disappointed to read this review, as it does not accurately reflect what occurred during this stay. The suggestion that the cabin is somehow “misrepresented in the reviews” is particularly inaccurate. Those reviews were written independently by our previous guests, not by us. They reflect five years of genuine guest experiences, the care we put into the property, and the service we provide. We are a pet-friendly property, but all dogs must be disclosed in advance and a standard $70 pet fee applies. We asked this guest three separate times whether she would be bringing a dog and received no answer. She then arrived with an approximately 80-lb dog that had not been disclosed or authorized. We charged her only the normal $70 pet fee that would have applied to any guest bringing a dog. We did not charge her for the additional cleaning, labor, or linen replacement caused by the undisclosed pet. The suggestion that this standard fee was imposed as “retaliation” for a complaint is therefore inflammatory. Immediately after the guest departed, we sent our cleaner to the property specifically to investigate every maintenance complaint she had made. The inspection documented that the bathroom sink, bathtub, shower, drainage, and water flow were functioning properly. To date, the guest has provided no photographs, video, or other evidence supporting the conditions alleged in this review. The guest also claimed that she had ended her stay early while requesting a refund. Our records and evidence show that she continued to use the property through the final day of her reservation. We take legitimate guest concerns seriously and investigate them promptly, which is exactly what we did here. We stand behind our home, our service, and our five-year history of consistently excellent reviews from genuine guests, which provides a far broader and more representative picture of the experience we offer.

We're glad you found the cabin clean and appreciated our quick communication. We were surprised by the comments about the sleeping situation, as we have a comfortable queen and full bed in the loft and we didn't receive any concerns during your stay. We have had four years of exclusively 5-star reviews and we take great pride in our property and the experience we offer guests. We hope future guests will see that reflected in our overall record which truly reflects the experience at the cabin.
