Same great experience as the last time! The empire State parking pass on the fridge came in handy at Niagara Falls and saved us some money. The atmosphere inside and overall comfort level is top-notch!
Love the cabin and the quiet location! We were looking for a place to relax and this fit the bill perfectly!

Thank you Jenny & Shawn for taking the time to leave us a great review. We're glad our place was comfortable and your needs were met. Cozy Cabin is a great place for the whole family to come relax in our 10 acre private forest gives kids LOTS of room to roam and explore, especially the woods with easy marked trails! You’re always welcome here! And thanks for leaving the cabin so neat and tidy.

My husband and I stayed in the cabin for a getaway to see fall foilage and visit local state parks. The cabin is nestled among trees with lots of privacy. It was very peaceful and relaxing and we watched the sunrise from the front porch. It is in a very rural setting and driving through all the small towns and visiting local restaurants was fun for us. The cabin was very comfortable, clean, and the kitchen was well stocked. Great place to settle in for the evening after some great hiking.

This cabin is absolutely perfect! It is very clean and cozy, and is in a perfect location. We enjoyed the secluded location yet it is close enough to everywhere we had planned to go.
The owner does an excellent job of communicating important information...better than any others that I have experienced.
We really hope to return to the area in the future and will definitely be staying here again!
Property was clean and the stay was very relaxing.

We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay and appreciated all the little touches we’ve put into the cabin — especially the binder (we had way too much fun putting that together! 😉).
It means the world to us that you found beauty, peace, and serenity here. We’d be absolutely delighted to welcome you back next year. Until then, thank you again for choosing our place and for being such wonderful guests!
Warmly,
Peg & Bob
This was my 5th year coming to this cabin for a total of 8-9 times. I absolutely love coming here and relaxing in the peaceful little cabin that the host built for themselves and us to enjoy. There is plenty to do whether it’s going to the state parks nearby, checking out the bisons, going in town for some breakfast or even hiking through the woods behind the cabin they made for us to enjoy. I would recommend anyone to come here and enjoy a peaceful getaway.

It truly means the world to us that the cabin has become a special retreat for you. We love hearing how you enjoy everything from the nearby parks and bisons to the trails and peaceful moments at the cabin itself. Knowing that it brings you relaxation and joy is exactly why we opened it up to guests in the first place.
You’re always welcome here, and we can’t wait to have you back for visit number 9 (or 10)!

About the host
Hosted by Peggy Schaefer
We’re Bob and Peg, a fun-loving, adventurous couple who embrace simple, meaningful living. Peg enjoys planning new activities and adventures, making sure our journeys are full of excitement and our home is thoughtfully prepared. We’re happiest hiking high peaks, biking, meeting new friends, exploring new places, or getting lost in a great book. We tend to skip TV and instead spend our time exploring, connecting with others, and making the most of each season.
During the summer months, we unwind on our deck with a drink in hand; in winter, we enjoy the cozy glow of the fireplace. We’re committed to offering a clean, comfortable, and welcoming stay for every guest.
Bob writes romance/mystery novels [samples at the cabin]. For readers, you may find it interesting to note that much of Bob's Fantasy/Romance novel; JOURNEY, The Love Story of the Century, Part II & III were written in the cabin. Pictures of the trail from the cabin also appear in Part II. When you sit by the campfire, you will be sharing the same view that inspired some pretty interesting stories. The books may be found on Amazon. To find the books, Google 'Catlan Samuels Journey' (that is Bob's pen name).
Why they chose this property
We escape to the woods whenever our busy lives allow, soaking in the peace, the quiet, and the feeling of being truly off the grid. When we’re not here, our greatest joy is sharing the cabin with guests who value the same things we do—birdsong, rustling leaves, nature’s rhythms, and the kind of silence that feels like a breath of fresh air.
Though you’re only 20 minutes from everything you might need, the cabin feels blissfully remote, like your own hidden retreat in the middle of nowhere. Step inside and the knotty pine greets you immediately—its warm glow and familiar scent creating an atmosphere that feels like camping in the woods, with the added comfort of a hot shower waiting nearby.
Wander the easy forest paths for a gentle return to nature, or challenge yourself with the beautiful 5-mile hike around the block. Either way, you’ll experience the simple, grounding pleasure of being surrounded by wilderness.
What makes this property unique
Cozy Cabin is the perfect spot for couples who want a completely secluded, romantic getaway where no one will find them, but it's also great for families who want to enjoy a woods experience with modern amenities! When guests are ready to come out of the forest, there is so much to see and do all within 15-20 minutes: Letchworth State Park, Stonybrook State Park, Swain Mountain Ski Resort, the Mount Morris Dam, and 7,700 acres of NYS Wildlife Management/wilderness Area to explore! Six Flags Darien Lake is 45 minutes away, and Niagara Falls is just over an hour and a half drive! If you are planning a day trip to Rochester and the Finger Lakes, check out the many wineries, Strong Museum of Play, Planetarium, Highland Park for their lilacs, and so much more.
