Such a sweet place

The owner has obviously really taken her time with and enjoyed the process of setting this cottage up for guests. Everything was so nice that my kids were ready to miss in! Beds are super comfy (even the futon!), plenty of towels, nice toiletries, etc. Really excellent. Looking forward to returning.

Hidden gem

My kids and I really enjoyed our stay. It is a great getaway from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Just a short 5 min drive to thatcher park and lake access to Thompson lake. Enjoyable even in the middle of February. We would have stayed longer if we could have. Can’t wait to go back

Perfect Getaway

Staying at this cabin was everything we hoped. Tucked away and with access to State parks, hiking trails, farms, wineries, and a short drive to Albany, Erika’s cozy cabin was exactly the escape we needed. The cabin is exactly as depicted, felt cozy, was well-kept, and was outfitted to recharge us. I’ll definitely book this listing again when I return upstate!

Wonderful home, wonderful location

Adorable little cabin, very clean, great hospitality, fabulous location for a peaceful getaway! Erika was very warm, welcoming and accommodating! The space worked well for our group. My husband and I were in the downstairs bedroom, and my sister, her husband, and son were upstairs in the loft. It was the perfect place for us to visit nearby family.

About the host

Hosted by Erika Robert

I am a teacher in a nearby town. When I am not working I enjoy running, hiking, gardening, kayaking, and the outdoors in general. I live next door to this property. My husband and I enjoy building, decorating, and beautifying our town.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this property shortly after we purchased the land next door. We renovated this house and stayed there on and off while building our new house on the property next door. We absolutely loved to come and stay weekends at 53 Betts Lane. Now we live here full time and absolutely love it, we don't think there is a better place to be.

What makes this property unique

The area is very nice. You can walk or run down the back roads around the lake and everyone is friendly and nice. It is a very safe place. Thompsons Lake is a wonderful place to visit. On a summer day you will find people kayaking and fishing. On the weekends you will see some people water skiing, sailing, fishing or enjoying the afternoon on a pontoon boat. The lake is great for fishing, The DEC re-stocks it every year. The water is clean and the area is beautiful.
