The cabin was supplied with everything you need, just bring food and drink. (and firestarters if you want an easy fireplace experience) It is very private without being isolated.
The hamlet of Wallkill is nearby and has a convenience store, hardware, gift shop, and a few restaurants. The Clam Bar was excellent with a local flair. Hannaford Brothers (grocery) is a few miles away in Modena. The cabin is in a great location with easy access to fabulous hiking, antiquing, and culture. (New Paltz)
The Shawangunk (pronounced Shawngunk) Mountains are to the west with dramatic overlooks and cliffs. The Wallkill River meanders through the valley and provides scenic views throughout.
Our hosts Mike and Michelle were very helpful and cheery, as were their two children Matt and Miranda. (their house is nearby the cabin)
The cabin itself has several sleeping rooms, beds, and places for people to eat and hang out. It feels like a lot of people could be accommodated, but is also cozy and intimate for couples. The decor is very "country" with family touches. The kitchen is not modern, but has everything you need to cook for a lot of people. There is a small radio in the kitchen and Direct TV music, but that's it. If you want musical ambience bring your iPod and a player.
We are looking forward to returning again and again to watch the seasons change. I wish we could keep this place a secret, but it's too nice not to share with other renters who love nature, appreciate a family log cabin, and will relish the sounds and silence of the area.
