Bedroom 2 is a single bed with a pull out pop-up trundle underneath. Does not convert to a double as trundle height is slightly lower. Both beds are supported by old fashioned springs - a nostalgic experience

- The opportunity to shower outside in a sylvan setting is one that I cherish. Enjoy a quick spritz after walking, swimming in the lake or just to cool off with refreshing well water. It is hooked up to hot water with a temperature adjustment option. For those who may be too shy (a deer might run by) there is the option of the claw footed tub inside.

Ask a questionAbout Inez Foose
I am an artist -muralist, decorative painter, set designer- living in Westbeth in NYC. I had the opportunity to create the mural frieze honoring past librarians in the newly built Pine Plains Library on Main Street.
Inez Foose purchased this cabin in 2001
Why Inez Foose chose Pine Plains
I acquired this cabin from it's original owner who grew up around these lakes in the summer. I was thrilled that it had never been 'upgraded'. I refurbished it while trying to keep true to a vintage 50's lake cabin. I still enjoy combing the local yard sales for items that belong to this venue.
What makes this cabin unique
Lovely view of lake from front room and also thru the interior window while laying in bed. The sunrise over the lake can be glorious. In the spring and early summer, the frogs croaking and in the fall, geese honking serenade the otherwise quiet setting.
