An incredible place for a vacation

This is a really special location - we love staying in places that are a little bit different, and this ticked all our boxes. We stayed as a family with two adults and two teenagers - the adults took the lookout tower, and the teenagers the cabin. There was plenty of space, there are many places to sit inside or out, whatever the weather, and the site is secluded but close enough to nearby Granville that going to the store wasn't a chore. The property has amazing views - on fine days the layers of hills fade slowly to the horizon, on cloudy days the valleys are filled with ribbons of mist that swirl around. The night skies are very dark too (unfortunately we had more cloudy nights than not), it would have been great to have brought binoculars! WiFi/internet is excellent at the cabin, but doesn't reach to the lookout (that wasn't a problem for us). At least in the summer when we visited, the temperature of both the lookout and cabin was very pleasant (the cabin has AC, the lookout has the breeze!). Heather was a terrific host, really good communication throughout - she provided us with plenty of eggs and let us swim in the old quarry at her farm which was great fun. Would love to come back one day!

perfect retreat

I spent a weekend here chasing dark skies and photographing the Milky Way, and it was exactly what I had hoped for. The open landscape offered unobstructed views of the night sky During the day, the peaceful, quiet setting was just what I needed to unwind. Even without foliage, the property had a beautiful charm that made the whole place feel like a hidden retreat.Heather, was wonderful—friendly, responsive, and made everything smooth from start to finish. Whether you're a night sky enthusiast or just looking for a quiet escape, this spot is a gem. I’ll definitely be returning.

Great tree house escape!

The clean, well-maintained tree house and cabin provided a comfortable retreat for my family. The spectacular sunrise and sunset views from the tree house set this place apart. The peaceful surroundings and breathtaking scenery created the perfect setting for us to reconnect and fully appreciate each other in this magical place.

Like a dream

This retreat was so beautiful it felt unreal. Heather took such great care of us! Could not have asked for a better host. She even provided us farm fresh eggs and vegetables while we were there. The tower makes for the most stunning sunset views and in the evenings we sat around the fire pit and star gazed. Everything was perfect and truly unforgettable.

What a fantastic property… a half mile driveway winds up to the perfect cabin and one of the coolest places we’ve ever slept… in a tower! Endless views in ever direction, a cool breeze, amazing sunsets, nothing but crickets and birds to sing you to sleep and wake you up in the morning. You’ll never want to leave!

Perfect stay

This is a lovely property, well-designed and nicely appointed. We found everything to be either as pictured or even nicer in person. Heather was easy to reach and responsive. The property is very private with amazing views, especially from the tower. We had 5G service (T-Mobile) on site and the WiFi worked well in the cabin. Lots of nice and thoughtful touches throughout, like plenty of firewood, nice linens and throw blankets, and comfy outdoor furniture. We would happily return! Thank you, Heather.

Peaceful Hilltop Getaway

I booked my stay at the cabin and tower to get away from my busy life and have some peace. Heather was nothing but great communicating with me from start to finish. I arrived on the heels of a little snow and Heather had plowed and sanded the driveway by the time I was en route. The cabin was cozy and warm— there is heating and plenty of blankets. It is stocked with everything you could possibly need, from Q-tips to a vacuum cleaner. She even left fresh eggs! This cabin has beautiful views and is truly off the beaten path. It was about 20 minutes to get to a local general store but the roads were so scenic I didn’t mind at all. I was able to get fresh baked goods, produce, and more from local sources. It’s only about half an hour to Vermont, so I crossed the border and visited a farmers market, bookstore, and cafe in Dorset and Manchester. Heather left a list of these suggestions at the cabin and they were great! I really enjoyed my stay at the cabin and watching the views of nature from the top of the tower. I would absolutely stay here again! Thanks, Heather!

Amazing!

I've noticed this unusual property last year when we already booked our stay in Vermont. This year we really wanted to give it a try, and it was great! Getaway from it all, very private and quiet, amazing views from porch and - especially - from the tower! Owners are super nice people, we had a minor issue with the heating and they came in in 5 mins and quickly fixed it.

Alluring and beautiful

Heather might just be the nicest person I've ever met. Her and her husband were really down to earth, hard working people who are as kind as they come. They did not hesitate to make us feel welcome. We couldn't thank them enough. Communication was clear and forward from the start and we undersood what was expected, which I appreciate. The property itself is indescribable, it was a captivating view on a quiet mountain. The tower was truly unique. We look forward to going back with the kids next time!

This was a great place to relax and enjoy my family. Beautiful views from both the cabin and the tower, which is just super cool in its own right. Everything you need is right here as the owner has thought of everything to make the stay enjoyable. I loved the linens and cozy blankets. Lots of nearby farms and u-pick to get fresh vegies and fruits. We used the spacious lawn for disc golf and the dogs enjoyed the freedom to run. Thank you, Heather.

Awesome Experience!

Heather's place was such a great experience! The cabin was nice and clean and had all the comforts of home, while still being quite secluded on a gorgeous property. The property itself is really well maintained and we couldn't get enough of the views from the tower. We were 2 adults and 2 medium size dogs and were very comfortable in the cabin. Heather was super friendly and very communicative, which made the whole experience very easy. We stayed for 5 days, and the cabin's great location allowed us to cross the border into Vermont to hike the green mountains, and experience some nice restaurants in the Glenns Falls area. Definitely recommend and hope to make the trip back up again in the future!
