Romantic Log Cabin in the Woods

Authentic hand made log cabin deep in the woods. A wilderness experience only 90 miles from Downtown New York. Abe Lincoln and Daniel Boone never had it so good... besides the wilderness, rustic space and the fireplace this country cabin has electricity and indoor plumbing! The cabin is close to Bethel Woods (14 miles) and Casino & Waterpark (10 miles). NOTE: This remote cabin is for DISCONNECTING from civilization and has limited cell service. Bring your own hotspot if you want internet. This is truly a hand made log cabin built about 100 years ago with trees from the property. The original one room cabin with central fireplace/kitchen was the original "open floor plan" so common now in NYC apartments. But modernity encroached and a "modern" bedroom addition and a real kitchen was added with a sink and running water too. A bathroom with "flush" toilet was added shortly thereafter. Don't worry the out house is still on the property for emergencies... The cabin is warm in winter and the fireplace is basically for atmosphere now. Romance is always in the air at this cabin... Candles provide additional atmosphere that contributes to the truly rustic authenticity of this place. Recommend reading Eric Sloane, Diary of a Young American Boy. Winter Travel Note: 4/All Wheel drive vehicles recommended for our area if winter weather is possible. Summer Travel Note: There is an adjoining Sleeping Porch Cabin that is available for extra guests in warm weather months. Perfect for friends, inlaws or children. It ONLY gets booked with the main cabin when more than 2 guests book from May through September. It has its own kitchen and bathroom. Two full beds. CALL for details. In fair weather access is "driveable" to the cabin via a dirt road. In winter... If you have a 4-wheel drive or Subaru you can drive into the site. If not you must park in the spot next to the paved road and hike in... Snow shoes or cross country skies recommended for heavy snow conditions. In winter please call to confirm our local conditions. I am always available to guests via cell phone or the Airbnb App and please feel free to contact me anytime. Cell service is spoty. If you don't have AT&T or Verizon as a provider then smoke signals may work. There is plenty of wild life in the area. My favorite is the chipmunk who takes peanuts from my hand. Eagles, osprey and kingfishers visit the pond often. Deer visit nightly and you can occasionally hear the bark of a fox and the howls of coyotes. A vehicle is recommended up in "The Country". In winter a 4/All Wheel Drive vehicle... There is no public transportation direct to the cabin. (No the Subway does not have a stop at the cabin.) The closest Rail Stations are Port Jervis, Otisville and Middletown NY. The Shortline Bus terminal in Monticello goes direct to NY Port Authority. Private cabs serve the area or Uber and Lyft may have drivers in the area. Remember, you will need to carry in your supplies. There is civilization within a few miles... Even a Walmart, fast food and shopping. Remember that you are in the woods, about half a mile from the nearest road. So plan your supplies carefully. Bring a flashlight since there are no street lights in the woods... There is civilization a few miles away, even a Walmart. A Special Note for City Folk: Out of the many hundreds of happy visitors I have had to this cabin I have disappointed only two guests who did not know this very special place is an authentic antique log cabin. It is NOT a 5th Avenue 5-Star Ritz Hilton or Hotel International. It is purposely old and the items inside are actual Americana period antiques. Wildlife Notice: You share the woods with wild animals, (lions, tigers and bears... Oh My! Skunks, bees and spiders too). Don't eat yellow snow and don't get lost in the woods...
