  • We had such a wonderful visit to the log cabin. The house was incredibly clean, comfortable, and well-supplied. We drove into Great Barrington, which is a lovely little town to wander around in. Our stay was short, but we hope to return someday; possibly for leaf-peeping next time! Thank you!

  • Fabulous time in the quiet cabin. My two (2) boys loved the pond and frogs and fish. We have stayed in different cabins in August for the past decade in the NE - this was by far the cleanest and had a superior kitchen. I sat on the porch and down by the pond and read the entire week. The internet service was a tremendous help for those of us leaving work at the last moment and with no notice! We grilled, made a fire, read, napped, ate, and never left the premises. Property is secluded and we felt safe letting our boys run the property.

  • We had a wonderful time at the cabin. It was just two of us, and it managed to feel cozy even though it was actually quite large and could have held far more people. The cabin itself is lovely and has pretty much everything you could need. The location is absolutely fantastic as well. It's a very easy drive from NYC and, while the cabin is far enough removed from "civilization" to feel you're really getting away, it's just very short trips to many different CT and NY towns with antiques, gourmet food and chocolate, teas and coffee, etc. In addition to all this, Christine and Jim are delightful to deal with and very accommodating. I would unreservedly recommend a stay here. One side note - bring your laptop with an ethernet connection if you mean to do any planning while you're there. There's no wi-fi for iPhone/BlackBerry and the cellular Edge network is painfully slow (for AT&T at least). But hey, it's the countryside, what do you expect? Better yet - lose your smartphone for a while and relax.

  • This lovely cabin is a perfect getaway with all the comforts of home (and then some!) Adults loved the hot tub,the quiet of the woods, and the convenience of the well-equipped kitchen. Kids loved the frog pond, the trampoline, the game room, and the freedom to roam. Beds were comfortable and space was plentiful. Hopefully we'll be back some day. This place is great!

  • We found this cabin listing on VBRO and we were able to rent the cabin for 17 days with a 3 day advance notice - thanks to the owners for their flexibility! The cabin is fantastic and easily accomodates our family which includes 7 children ages 2 through 14 and 2 parents. Everything is in great condition and you cannot beat the privacy of this cozy cabin in the woods. We were the first to use the pond for the season so we picked up a leaf rake at Walmart and cleaned the leaves within a couple of hours. They kids loved the pond and small beach and we had a camp fire every day. The fire wood is available on-site for a small fee, cheaper than buying in town. You can also gather wood in the woods around the property. Rain was not a problem with the indoor play area, pool table, jacuzzi and air hockey, not to mention the reading library for quiet time. Evenings were usually spent at the town school - they have an exceptional new playground and ball fields. The town pond and beach is open in July and August, but we did not use it given the on-site pond. We cooked most of our meals in the cabin but there are many places to eat in town including fast food, casual and formal dining. Kent Pizza is great - cheese steak hogies are awesome. Check out RC Sports behind DQ off Rt 44 in Winsted. They have mini-gold, go-carts, batting cages, ice cream, game room, etc... Not too expensive either. Visit the shops in town and find some great deals. Take a scenic ride on Rt 44 West to Canaan and South on Rt 7 to Falls Village. Rt 44 East will take you to intertubing and to several State parks. Honestly, we could hardly stand to leave the comfort and peaceful cabin in the woods. This is a place worth spending some time at least once in your life. We will definitely be back. It is perfect for all seasons given the proximity to winter sports in the area. Enjoy!!!

  • This was a wonderful log cabin retreat for a group of old high school friends who gathered together for a mini-reunion this past weekend. We had such a great weekend here and all commented on how it was the perfect setting for catching up and enjoying each other's company. The cabin is much larger than it looks in the photos and is quite rustic and charming. The hot tub provided a much-needed respite from city-life! I would highly recommend this cabin rental and would not hesitate to stay here again!

  • Our stay at Cozy Log Cabin was everything we hoped for. After a whirlwind few days in New York it was a completely restful contrast. The cottage was LOVELY. I told the class I teach that I had stayed in the Three Bears Cottage! It was very well equiped, comfortable and very clean. The beds were all very comfortable and the hot tub was fantastic. The surrounding area was beautiful and there were lots of places to walk. We took the hosts advice about local places to see and eat. The Winstead Diner is a must and the village of Colebrook is very interesting (historically). I would definately go back again once we have practiced our fire lighting skills. A very memorable holiday. Our two teenage daughters also loved it splitting their time between the hot tub and the pool table. GREAT !!

  • We had a wonderful white Christmas in the cabin. My husband and 5 adult children found it very comfortable and cosy, with all the mod cons and close enough for drives to explore the surrounding towns. We will definitely go again. It was an excellent winter getaway for an Aussie family. Thank you Christine!!!

  • Our stay at the Cabin was wonderful. The location was perfect for us. It was quiet, relaxing, and fun. The Cabin is in excellent condition and well equip. We enjoyed both the fireplace and the jacuzzi. Highly recommend to anyone wishing to get away from the rest of the world for a couple of days.

  • I can't say enough about our weekend at your log cabin. To say it was perfect would be an understatement! It was only an hour from our house but felt worlds away. We loved relaxing in the hot tub, lying by the fire, walking around the property and using the game room. We arrived Friday night and didn't leave until we had to Sunday afternoon. The kitchen had all the necessities that we needed and beyond to prepare a home cooked meal. I can't wait to go back in the winter to go ice skating and the summer to make smores by the lake!
