Nice cabin, solid stay if you set your expectations right

We were happy with our stay. A nice home base for the Slide Mountain and Giant’s Ledge hikes. A bit over an hour to Kaaterskills and or Minnewaska. A ton of porch space, not a ton of indoor hangout space if you’re with a decent sized group (we were not).

The only true hassle is just that the walk from the Car to the Front Door is rough and not illuminated. Plan to have a flashlight ready if you’re arriving at night. You’ll be carrying your stuff over rocks/gravel/dirt

The large is yard but you’re in the woods. Be aware of ticks and other insects on the property (not in the cabin itself!)

The two bedrooms and the bathroom upstairs are accessible via a spiral staircase and connected via a wooden platform of slats. The slats had noticeable give when this 200lb person walked on them. Don’t plan on a super tall or a big person being comfortable going upstairs. Again, it’s a cabin. Set your expectations.

Perspective wise, we thought we missed the house because a lot of the outside pictures are actually looking at the road. You look down at the house from the road, and park on the road as well.

Tip for getting here (not a reflection of the property itself): Depending on where you’re coming from, the GPS might take you from the east. This way involves several miles of seasonal dirt road that I don’t recommend unless you’re into that sort of thing. Our GPS took us there at night – not my favorite night drive. Coming from Claryville involves only a short bit of dirt road.
