Cabin was clean as well as the hot tub. Only thing i would recommend is to bring your own pillow(s). They were not the greatest, bed is extra firm, but not uncomfortable. Overall it was a wonderful stay.

Had a great couple days here. It was tucked away from all loudness of city life. If you need a quiet getaway, this is the place for it. Our favorite part was sitting on the back porch and going in the hot tub. Definitely recommend staying here.

The entire stay was the most peaceful weekend I've ever had. The decorations the owners put up were absolutely adorable and perfect for fall. It helped us feel right at home. The beds were both very comfortable and it was easy to log into the wifi. The AC worked amazingly and the hot tub was absolutely delightful. String lights hung along the back provided enough light to see but not enough to take away from the stars out at night. We would absolutely stay again and hope to do so in the future. They had two chairs out front, two more on the back porch and a picnic table down by the fire pit providing plenty of seating options.

A great stay

My wife and I had a very enjoyable stay at the cabin. Clean, comfortable, just a short drive off the main road. Would recommend checking it out if considering staying around Tappan lake.

Perfect cabin

My husband and I came to get away for a few days and it was top notch! Cabin was clean and the perfect setting for some very needed peace and quiet. We rented kayaks at Tappan lake one of the days and had dinner at the lake. It was nice and we would love to stay again! Communication with the owner was pleasant as well. They checked in to see how our stay was going.

Very cute cabin! We had a wonderful time! The hot tub is on a covered porch overlooking the peaceful woods! There is a house/cabin within view when in hot tub. The kitchen is stocked with everything needed, even a few extras like spices (so nice to see)! Cabin was so clean and smelled good! My husband and I had a wonderful time sitting on the porch! There is Wi-Fi but no service with T-Mobile-which was a blessing to us! A perfect do nothing get away for any couple ❤️
