We spent the month here and it exceeded our expectations. While it is rustic (a little dusting, clearing cobwebs, etc. did the trick) it also is in the "country", and that privacy is unparalleled and a bit of "nature" inevitably comes with the territory. The cabin is gorgeous, sexy even (it comes with a record player, gorgeous stained glass chandelier, etc.). There are tall ceilings, a classic old tub, huge windows that look out onto trees, flora and fauna. It was very easy to adjust to the outdoor shower, too. Once we put in a makeshift light, showering out there was a no brainer. The porch is also a great amenity- it's perfect to play guitar on, eat a meal outside. There's a ton of lawn space (there were ticks, but tis the season, and once we messaged Mike, he helped immediately - he was very responsive) and we played bocce, croquet, you name it. Truly wonderful and not too far from either Mt. Tremper/Pheonicia, or Woodstock. So, while the quiet is there, the "city" is close by. Would highly recommend.
