The A-Frame is the best place to start the morning because you can enjoy a coffee listening to wonders of nature and hear the babbling brook flowing in the background.

The Fire Pit is also one of the most beloved amenities on the property. We typically provide a starter set of wood for your group to all sit around and enjoy the stargazing, marshmallows, and conversation.

This was an amazing vacation. We were very impressed by the size, the cleanliness, and the comfort of this property. We spent much of our days enjoying nearby hiking, but everyone agreed that we would have been just as happy had we merely stayed at the house. We will definitely be looking at this property again if we ever come back to the region for a future vacation.

Spacious, clean and great for a weekend

We stayed with kids and extended family (8 in total) for a weekend when I was running a marathon at Letchworth State Park. The place was clean, well organized and very spacious. The outdoor fire pit was super fun and the kids loved the game room and creek running through the back.

Family Summer Fun

The first thing I noticed when searching for a place to stay for our July 4th holiday was the level entry to the house. We were planning a visit to the matriarch of our family, in her mid-90s. Mom has physical restrictions which make stairs very difficult for her. Since having 11 of us for dinner at her house just wouldn't work, it was wonderful to have her able to come for dinner with all of us - twice! That said, the house perfectly met all our needs - every couple/family had a separate sleeping area and plenty of bathrooms for all! The kitchen setup was very manageable and accommodated all of our needs. And three living spaces on the main floor! Togetherness and privacy available as desired! Downstairs, the game area provided some indoor activities that all could enjoy! And in the evenings, the spa offered adult spaces with the hot tub and sauna. We even lowered the hot tub heat our last evening so our pregnant DIL could also enjoy and relax! We grilled one meal out on the patio, and enjoyed the peaceful quiet with the babbling brook nearby. All 11 of us had a lovely time visiting a familiar area close to family at Loon Lake. We certainly would recommend Pokey Moonshine at any time of the year!

About the host

Host profile image
Hi,
my name is Mark and I am originally from Upstate New York but now reside in Austin, Texas.
In the spring of 2022, we bought our first rental in Pigeon Forge, TN and fell in love with being able to offer our guests the travel experience we would expect.

Soon after and with family we transformed this house, into the modern farmhouse to extend our love of travel to guests traveling throughout Upstate New York who are looking to enjoy it.

Why they chose this property

Pokey Moonshine is a short drive to a lot of Upstate New York attractions. But having the space for 12 people to gather comfortably in a large enough house makes the trip even more enjoyable.

Pokey sits atop 10 acres and allows for your family, your team, or our friends to be able to unwind and enjoy each other's company without worrying about bothering the neighbors. If you are wanting a bit of privacy but also a modern space to host your friends and family, this is the space.

What makes this property unique

Pokey Moonshine sits on 10+ acres and is tucked back among a lush wall of trees in gorgeous surroundings. Watch the cotton candy sky sunsets at the fire pit or explore the mature woodland. When ready, retreat to the cozy & expansive house. Your friends and family can enjoy the peace and quiet surrounded by the best of Mother Nature.

The Spa is the perfect place to end a fun day exploring Upstate New York – it’s located inside, set off dining room. The Spa room has a 8 person hot tub, hot sauna, bathroom, shower and changing room with plenty of space for people to hang out. There is a sitting area and 65” TV – which you can easily view from the hot tub. The lower deck of The Spa can double as a workout room.

The Fire pit is built into the landscape and can accommodate your entire party. As one of our favorite parts of Pokey Moonshine, we are sure you will be spending a lot of time in this spacious area reminiscing over old stories as well as creating new memories. Smores anyone?
