Good stay, host was responsive.

This cabin was perfect for our Fall long weekend with our dog and three adults. The property is among a few houses on the edge of the new Blue Hill State Forest and has access to the lake via a trail. The State Forest was formerly a ski resort. Trails have not yet been set up, the existing ones are overgrown but beautiful, especially the trail up the mountain from the new parking lot on the north end. There was also parking less than a mile from the cabin, south of the lake, but it was even more overgrown and a lot of bow hunters were there heading away from the lake since they can't hunt near houses. Communication was good, very private location with pretty sunrise from the deck, kitchen was well stocked, although we did have to buy matches for the wood stove and fire pit as the lighters were all out of fuel. Second to last house on the street and nice place to walk the dog. Easy drive to Zoar Valley and other state parks and state forests. It will be even nicer if someone can do some trail maintenance. Very minor issues: King bed was too soft for me, "smart" thermostat kept turning itself back on making it too hot to sleep the first night, so we left it off after that, motion-detector lights out front are super bright and made us not want to use that patio and fire pit at night, upstairs TV needs an upgrade, it glitched out on Netflix, watched downstairs. We would definitely go back. Perfect base camp for hikers, hunters, or anyone looking for privacy and views.

I recently spent a 3-night weekend getaway at this beautiful cabin, and it was everything I needed to relax and reset. The space is stunning—clean, thoughtfully decorated, and the perfect blend of modern comfort and rustic charm. It offers the kind of peace and quiet that lets you truly connect with nature and just breathe. My family and I felt right at home and left feeling refreshed. If you’re looking for a cozy, serene escape, I definitely recommend this little gem.

It is an older place but was clean and felt very like home. I would rent again.
