6 minutes to the base of the mountain sits a cozy little 3 bedroom, 2 bath log cabin with a large loft that overlooks the lower level. The loft is considered the 3rd bedroom. Close to everything.
WHAT TO DO
Enjoy winter sports , summer downhill mountain biking and festivals at Windham or nearby Hunter.
The Elm Ridge Wild Forest is 10 minutes away. You can hike to Windham Peak or ride some of the best single track mountain bike trails in the Catskills.
Like to Fish then the Beaverkill is 8 minutes away and the Westkill 12. Grab your fly rods!!! State and NYCDEP Watershed land is with walking distance as well so you can hike, hunt or snowshoe.
Other options for sightseeing are the Kaaterskill Falls Falls, North/South Lake. Hiking options include Hunter High Peak Trail and the Westkill High Peak Trails. There are plenty more as well. If you are interested in a hike please reach out as we have done many of the mountains and are avid mountain bikers/ cyclists/ anything outdoors enthusiasts.
If you are into craft beer wineries or cider then 3 stops are a must. The first being the Westkill Brewery in Westkill NY about 30 minutes away. Food service is limited so bring food or eat before you go. The beer is simply amazing. The second is the Winery at Windham which is less than 1 mile away and a new Cidery just opened in Gilboa which is awesome. It’s called Rockland Cider Works.

We had a great time in this cozy, clean and comfy home! It’s in a convenient location and the owner was very responsive. We would definitely stay again!
Lovely property, nice location close to Windham, little bit tricky to find at night time as entrance doesn’t have a postbox.
We really enjoyed our stay.
Great location for viewing Fall foliage. Close to major attractions, bars and restaurants. Cozy, clean cabin not far from town. Great communication with owner. Would definitely stay again.

Thank you for the wonderful review. You are welcome back anytime
Very clean, comfortable, the house warmed up well (it was chilly outside). The property was very private and beautiful view of the stars and hills. I wish I brought my telescope!

Thank you for the 5 star review and yes I forgot how many stars can be seen at night without city light pollution. I will buy one and keep it at the property for guests !
We really enjoyed our long ski weekend staying at this cabin less than 10 min from Windham. We ended up skiing Hunter and that was also convenient. It has 3 bedrooms, 2 closed and a loft and was perfect for our family of 5. It’s been recently renovated and was comfortable.
A nice weekend stay! Laid on the deck and watched the Persied meteor shower with my son. The Milky Way was also visible!
Nice clean home and very easy to connect with the owner! Highly recommended!
Had a great time with family during long winter weekend. Rustic property is in need of some minor repairs. Enjoyed the ambiance of the home and fire pit. Throw blankets, extra pillows and fluffy towels would have been appreciated.
The cabin was very homey and comfortable. It is great if you are looking to get away and have a relaxing vacation. Jeff answered any questions quickly and efficiently. Just a heads up if traveling with older teens/young adults addicted to the internet🤣there is no cell reception (for Verizon anyway) and no WiFi in the cabin. But we still thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.
Don't wait, book now! Absolutely adorable log cabin, looks exactly as it is portrayed in the pictures. Easy check in with great communication from the owner. We stayed for a wedding a the Windham Manor (5 minutes away) and the downtown area was only 5 minutes away in the other direction. Lot's restaurants, cafe's and markets close by. Very comfortable and relaxing inside from the beds to the living room furniture. Truly an amazing find, you won't be disappointed!
Cabin was nice, clean and convenient. Beds were very comfortable. Owner was very easy to communicate with and very prompt with responses to questions. Linens and bath towels provided but no washcloths or hand towels, so plan to bring your own. Overall a great stay!
Great place in the country to get out with old friends and enjoy the mountains and come back to a wonderful place to relax together indoors or out on the deck. A real log cabin experience
Cabin was as advertised. Very clean, lots of privacy and on a quiet road. Beds were comfortable and although we didn’t cook the kitchen has a nice layout. We would stay again without hesitation.
It was a great stay off the grid. Easy communication with owner. Great house!
Just a reminder to anyone renting. It specified this in the listing.
- Limited to no service, even outside with Verizon LTE
- No internet (only live TV and some prerecorded movies on DVR)
- Firewood is not provided
Also, bring your own shampoo/conditioner as none is provided.
This house was absolutely amazing. Clean , spacious , everything as described in its photos. A great retreat away from the city for a family weekend. Can’t wait to rent it again.
The location was great for winding down spending some time together as a family, playing games, sitting around the fire. Place was really clean and well set up everything we needed was there it was great. Jeff was responsive to our questions. We were told that there was no real good internet there and we were prepared so it was not an issue even with my teenagers. We also enjoy exploring the trails around the area.
A really nice cabin that sleeps 8 adults comfortably. Well cared for inside and out. Secluded and private with a great fire pit and plenty of room for games, etc.
A little mixup at check-in, but honestly it was our fault and not the owner's as he communicated clearly and responded well. He was patient with us which was appreciated.
Supplies such as paper goods and coffee supplies were a bit low, but the town is very close by and it's very convenient to get what you need.
We went during the summer and not ski season so I cannot comment on ease of getting to the slopes, etc.
All in all, I would highly recommend this property.

The home is only suited for 6. I ask that guest not exceed that limit for many reasons.
Jeff was in communication before and after our trip and that was greatly appreciated. The cabin and location are awesome. As the title says a little piece of heaven. My buddy and I went up for a long weekend to hike, star gaze and just relax in the serenity of nature. We spent a good amount of time at the fire pit just laughing and enjoying the atmosphere. We went out to eat at a popular restaurant named Lily’s Steakhouse which had fabulous steaks. Hopefully I will have the opportunity to return with my family and let them experience the quiet day and beauty of nature and the clean, secluded cabin in the woods (but not too far from civilization)!!! 😁
