Welcome to our cozy cabin nestled in the mountainside of the great western Catskills. The vaulted ceilings and floor to ceiling windows provide forest and mountain views that make you feel like you’re in a tree house! Our MCM japandi-inspired cabin is thoughtfully designed and curated—perfect for adventurers, romantics, artists, writers, or anyone seeking inspiration and rejuvenation amidst the tranquility of nature. Yet still just 5 min to town for shops, restaurants, and everything else!
- Only around 2.5hrs from NYC and 5 min to the town of Margaretville, our cabin is centrally located to other destination mountain towns like Arkville, Andes, and Fleischmanns!
- Less than 20min to Belleayre for skiing and snowboarding! And close to trailheads, trout streams, distilleries/breweries, bowling, golf, shopping, and restaurants. There is truly something for everyone! Due to the proximity to route 3 and route 30, travel around the area is convenient. However, occasionally you may hear road noise from across the river.
- With two bedrooms and two full bathrooms, there is plenty of space to spread out or cozy up.
- Recently renovated and equipped with amenities like high speed wifi, smart TV, smart projector, electric fireplace, game room with pool table, and lots of board games, you can work hard and play hard too!

Additional info about the cabin below:
Bedroom 1 has a king bed with premium Siena memory foam mattress and Bedroom 2 has a queen bed with a hybrid Allswell mattress. Both are fiberglass free! The two sofas in the cabin are cozy enough to sleep on as well—and if that’s not enough, we also have a self inflating queen sized airbed available to use in the living room.
Note: The bedrooms do not have AC as they usually stay a comfortable 70-75 degrees at night in the summer. There are fans if you need to cool down, and baseboard heating if you get chilly. The main living area and the game room have mini split AC/heat.
The highlight of our game room is the restored 8' Brunswick slate pool table with new bumpers and burgundy Centennial tournament cloth. You can also challenge friends to a game of foosball on a full size Classic Sport foosball table. In the other corner of the game room, there is a regulation sized Viper dart board, life size Connect 4, giant Jenga, and ring toss. And if the weather is good, set up the cornhole outside for a few rounds! For a more low-key night, choose from one of our many board games and puzzles located in the credenza under the living room TV.
The kitchen is fully stocked with pots, pans, utensils, dinnerware, and basic cooking ingredients. Fridge, stove, microwave, drip coffee maker, rice cooker, toaster, electric and stovetop kettles, and a Lavazza Blue espresso machine are available for use as well. A small assortment of ground coffee, espresso pods, and various teas are included.
For those who would rather dine outside, there is a grill, fire pit, and dining area on the back patio lit by string lights! You are welcome to forage for firewood, or purchase some at gas stations or supermarkets nearby. Note on the grill: If used, please clean the grate and oil catch after to prevent attracting bears and other animals. If the propane tank runs out, there is an extra tank by the side of the house, next to the larger propane tank. Please leave the empty tank there as well.
This is the picturesque modern cabin you've been looking for! Embark on a Catskills adventure, enjoy your mornings on the wrap around deck with your coffee, and end the night making s'mores by the fire pit. We look forward to your stay and are happy to answer any questions!

Sustainability:
From the thoughtful architectural design to the finishes and details, our cabin aims to be energy efficient and eco-friendly. We try to minimize our carbon footprint through energy saving appliances, natural and sustainable resources like bamboo flooring, and reclaimed/recycled materials. The well and newly-designed septic system further lessens our ecological impact, rendering the cabin nearly self-sufficient. We take pride in our commitment to green practices and kindly encourage you to help reduce our carbon footprint by conserving water and energy for a greener future.

Important notes:
Due to the well water, the water may smell slightly of sulfur depending on the season and local water table. It is completely natural for the Catskill region and we have dual stage whole house filters that will help reduce the smell.
We provide a few bottles of water for your stay but please be aware that while the water supply at our cabin is safe for general use such as showering, washing dishes, and cooking, it is not suitable for drinking. We kindly ask that you purchase bottled water for your drinking needs during your stay.
Cell service is spotty in the country, especially in the mountains. There is no cell network in this area but service is available less than 2 miles toward the village of Margaretville. However, wifi is strong and fast and signal is available throughout the house. All phone calls can be made over wifi calling. **Please make a note of the wifi details before you arrive for your stay in case you need to reach us.
Outdoor areas:
When using outdoor amenities like the deck, grill, fire pit, and patio, please be aware of fire hazards and wildlife safety. We ask that you bring any food or garbage inside after you are done. There are bears in the Catskills and they will be attracted to food left out. For the fire pit, we do not provide logs but you are welcome to forage for firewood or purchase from nearby gas stations/the supermarket. Please be sure to put out any fires before ending the night. The woods can get dry and fire hazards are common.
And because the cabin is in the forest, we are not responsible for bugs, critters, and/or wildlife on/inside the property. While we have active pest control treatments and try our best to minimize bugs and critters inside, there may still be some that get through once in a while. But on the positive, don't be surprised if you see a family of deer trotting by while enjoying your morning coffee!
Note: We welcome guests of all ages but please keep in mind that the cabin is not baby/childproofed. There is a standalone electric fireplace, steep stairs, and a glass table along with delicate plants and decor. The cabin is also on the side of a mountain and can have wildlife and steep dropoffs at certain points. Please always make sure to watch little ones for their own safety! Thank you.
Accessibility: There are two entrances to the cabin. The main entrance is up a stone pathway with a couple steps up to the porch. The garage has a flat entrance for accessibility, however the doors in the house are older and can be 24 inches or less. Standard wheelchairs and walkers may not fit through doors unless folded. If you require use of a wheelchair or walker, please note that you may not be able to fit it through the bedroom/bathroom doors unless it is folded up. The hallways on the lower floor are also narrow and there is a set of stairs up to the second level.
Winter weather: The cabin is up a steep gravel/dirt driveway so an AWD/4WD vehicle with winter tires is strongly recommended to get around the area. The weather in the Catskills can be unpredictable so plan accordingly and drive safe!
While infrequent, this area is prone to country occurrences like power outages during windy rain and snowstorms. There are flashlights, lanterns, and propane heaters available for emergencies.
