PETS
Well-behaved dogs are allowed with prior approval (and $100 fee per pet, per stay). Please clean up after your pet both inside and outside the house. Sorry, cats are not permitted. Failure to disclose any pets in advance may result in additional fees or penalties.
If you are traveling with a service animal, we kindly ask that you let us know in advance.
SMOKING
No smoking is permitted inside the house. If you must smoke, please do so outside and dispose of butts properly..
EXCESSIVE CLEANING FEES
We kindly ask that guests treat the home with care and respect. Should the property require cleaning beyond the standard turnover—due to excessive mess or incidents involving bodily fluids such as blood, vomit, or waste—a $500 fee may apply. Any linens or furnishings damaged beyond repair will also be subject to replacement charges. These situations are considered outside the scope of routine housekeeping and require specialized attention to ensure the safety and well-being of our team.
MID-STAY CLEANING REQUIREMENT
For stays of 28 nights or longer, a guest-paid mid-stay cleaning is required. The cleaning will be scheduled at a mutually convenient time during your stay. The cost varies by property and will be confirmed before scheduling.
ACCURATE GUEST COUNT
The number of guests must be accurately disclosed at the time of booking. While we don’t charge extra for additional guests up to the home’s maximum occupancy, this information is essential so we can properly prepare and stock the home. Please note that penalties may apply if guest counts are inaccurate or intentionally misrepresented.
OUTSIDE SERVICE PROVIDERS
Outside staff such as private chefs, massage therapists, or other service providers are welcome, but prior approval is required before they come on-site.
SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENTS
Guests may be required to sign a rental agreement. If applicable, it will be sent after the booking is confirmed.
SEPTIC
Please be mindful of the septic system and do not flush anything down the toilets or drains other than toilet paper. This includes any and all personal hygiene products, baby wipes, bleaches and strong chemical cleaners.

This 2-bed, 1-bath log cabin was renovated by its owner, a set designer and architect, who brought mid-century furniture and modern systems into rustic log spaces. The result: high ceilings, natural light, quality details (Casper mattresses, All-Clad cookware, induction range), and outdoor delights that feel intentional, not accidental.
Inside: wood-burning fireplace, full bar/streaming room, kitchen equipped for cooking. Outside: riverfront sauna, creek-side dining table, fire pit, and direct access to the surrounding forest. The 2-acre property backs onto 600 acres of privately owned forest—perfect for morning hikes before coffee. There is one bedroom downstairs and one upstairs. The loft has the television. Bathroom is on the main floor.
As you venture outside you'll discover a world of outdoor delights, where the beauty of nature surrounds you at every turn. Immerse yourself in the tranquility of the waterfront setting, where a riverfront sauna and waterfront hammock beckon you to unwind and rejuvenate. Indulge in al fresco dining at the long table set beside the creek, illuminated by hanging lights that cast a magical glow over your meal. And for those who love to entertain, a fire pit, propane grill, and bocce set await, promising endless hours of fun and laughter under the stars.
As you soak in the sights and sounds of the surrounding wilderness, you'll be enchanted by the symphony of the nearby river, which creates a mesmerizing soundscape that envelops the cabin and its two acres of lush landscape. With 600 acres of privately owned forest as your backyard, adventure awaits right outside your door, inviting you to explore and reconnect with nature at your leisure.
Experience the epitome of comfort and luxury in this thoughtfully curated Catskills retreat, where every detail has been carefully considered to ensure a truly unforgettable stay.

Just 2 hours from NYC and 2.5 from Philly, this creekside log cabin sits on 2 acres along a backcountry highway, and it's backed up to many more acres of forest. The abundance of wildlife is amazing. Bears, fireflies, eagles, trout, mushrooms, and much more. We’re also just 5 minutes from the local grocery store, the Saturday farmer’s market, and the Delaware waterfront for canoeing and rafting trips. We’re 20 minutes from incredible hikes, swimming holes, and a few of our favorite restaurants.
Our driveway has a bit of an incline, and in wintery conditions, you'll need AWD/4WD to access the cabin, even after it gets plowed. Unfortunately, it may not be possible to get a non-4WD vehicle out of the driveway without a tow.
All film and commercial photography/video inquiries must be approved separately. Please contact us for pricing and availability.
Due to severe allergies, cats are not allowed at this property.
