We loved staying at this cabin! I read some of the revues regarding the condition and such but I've learned that you just have to see things for yourself before you make a determination. This cabin is rustic for sure and filled with items from the owners life and work. It does seem like a lot of things here and there but it gives you something to do when you walk around at night listening to the silence. There are really no issues with the property though it is older and definitely well lived in. There are many sleeping rooms to choose from if you are a small group or couple and plenty of room if you're a large family or group. The address shows the property as being across the road from the lake but it is actually right next to the lake. Here are some things we LOVED: 1- There is a record player and a huge collection of records to play from all over the world in many styles, Disco to Swedish dance music and everything in between. So fun to make a fire in the pot belly stove while listening to records. No kidding! 2- Fire pit next to the lake!! Kicking up a bonfire next to a foggy lake on a snowy night is a priceless thing! 3- Privacy! The cabin is located in a private lake community of about six or seven houses spread far apart surrounding the small mountain lake about the size of a high school football field. 3- Peace and quiet! We live in Brooklyn. It's really noisy in Brooklyn but It is seeeeeriously quiet at this cabin. 4- Nearby quaint towns. We bought some excellent rare books in Hobart, we ate a fabulous lunch in Delhi and we roamed the trails all over the mountain nearby and near the river. Beautiful. If you want skiing and snowmobiling there are tons of that stuff nearby as well. We went there in the dead of winter so we couldn't go swimming but we are going to book a return trip for the summer. There was really nothing to hate or dislike about this cabin. The only thing I will say is that it is rustic and whimsical, like the title of my review says. If you are looking for a 5 star resort this is not it. If you are looking for a real and true well lived in Catskills Mountain Cabin THIS IS IT! A word about me: I'm a set designer and prop designer from NYC. I've built Broadway sets for award winning shows that look just like this place! It reminds me of Mousetrap, Something Rotten, Fiddler on the Roof and a little bit of Lord of the Rings all rolled into one. That's all I can say. We had a blast and we are going back.
