A modern, private cabin secluded within a private 19 acres, just 90 miles away from New York City ! This stunning home was designed by Sundial Studios Architecture & Design, and was featured both within Dwell Magazine (google: wabi sabi weekend cabin) and the NY Times (google: haiku of a home). This 3 bedroom 2 bath cabin was developed in response to the beautiful landscape it is placed within and is surrounded by forest and wildlife, overlooking a pond.

This property has 4 exterior security cameras overlooking the driveway, pond, and entry doors. All cameras except the driveway cam are disarmed at guest check in, and then turned back on at checkout. All cameras face outwards, and do not look into the interior spaces.

Guest access
We keep a handful of cabinets and a storage room locked, but other than this the house and property are open to explore.

Other things to note
We have the driveway plowed in the wintertime, but guests should have a AWD or 4WD vehicle to access the property during snow season.

There is a Sullivan County burn ban every spring from mid March through until mid May, and no open fires are permitted during this time. Feel free to use the wood stove and outdoor barbeque, but no open fires are permitted in either of the outdoor fire pits.
