(https://www.instagram.com/p/CVBa7Vmj5Lh/?utm_medium=copy_link) The park is less than a mile away. Bring a fishing pole, kayak, SUP, or canoe and enjoy a paddle on the beautiful calm lake, or just sit by the lake and enjoy the nature and beauty. Many other hiking trails are nearby including Wolf Creek Falls Preserve, The Winn Perserve (both in Knox) , and The Huyck Preserve in Rensseelearville. For a bite to eat, Maple On The Lake is a great place to eat and enjoy Warners lake and is less than 10 minutes away.

Fantastic winter getaway

Erika’s cabin is exceedingly cozy and perfect for a weekend getaway from the city. Communication was a breeze. The cabin was super comfy to hang out in and located very close to a beautiful state park. Would definitely recommend staying here!

Arriving on a quiet, snowy night and into the comfort of this cabin felt like a big warm hug. Has everything you could need to fully enjoy your stay and host goes above and beyond with clear communication, instructions, welcome package, and more.

Delightful

We had a great weekend at this gem of a cabin. It was clean, well taken care of, and beautifully decorated with thoughtful touches like local lotions, scrubs, shampoo and conditioner, ingredients to make s’mores. Beyond what we expected. We enjoyed the lake access, the fire pit and the close proximity to John Boyd Stare Park which had great hiking, playground and visitors center. We hope to visit again one day. Thank you, Erika!

Peace & Quiet In The Woods

The cabin fit our needs & served us well as a "base of operations" to explore the surrounding area while offering us well deserved peace & quiet. Having access to the lake (quick 2m walk) was excellent as well as use of the floating dock, floaties, and kayaks. Super close to trails at Thacher State Park. Loved checking out the surrounding restaurants, attractions, breweries, and wineries. Nothing but positive comments for the interactions with the owners. The cabin was well equipped for travel essentials.

My husband and I escaped our busy lives for a weekend and truly could not have asked for a better place for a respite. The back covered deck was phenomenal in sun and rain. We had a wonderful weekend away here and would definitely recommend this home to others.

Relaxing

The house was lovely and in a nice country setting. 2 minute walk to Thompson lake. It was perfect for the 2 of us. There were already condiments, spices and coffee pods. Decorated so country cabin like. Enjoyed the back porch in the morning listening to birds. It was very close to vooresville where family was. If I wasn’t with my elderly mother, I would have gone hiking at thatcher park, pretty much right down the road.

Such a sweet place

The owner has obviously really taken her time with and enjoyed the process of setting this cottage up for guests. Everything was so nice that my kids were ready to miss in! Beds are super comfy (even the futon!), plenty of towels, nice toiletries, etc. Really excellent. Looking forward to returning.

Hidden gem

My kids and I really enjoyed our stay. It is a great getaway from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Just a short 5 min drive to thatcher park and lake access to Thompson lake. Enjoyable even in the middle of February. We would have stayed longer if we could have. Can’t wait to go back

Perfect Getaway

Staying at this cabin was everything we hoped. Tucked away and with access to State parks, hiking trails, farms, wineries, and a short drive to Albany, Erika’s cozy cabin was exactly the escape we needed. The cabin is exactly as depicted, felt cozy, was well-kept, and was outfitted to recharge us. I’ll definitely book this listing again when I return upstate!

About the host

Hosted by Erika Robert

Host profile image
I am a teacher in a nearby town. When I am not working I enjoy running, hiking, gardening, kayaking, and the outdoors in general. I live next door to this property. My husband and I enjoy building, decorating, and beautifying our town.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this property shortly after we purchased the land next door. We renovated this house and stayed there on and off while building our new house on the property next door. We absolutely loved to come and stay weekends at 53 Betts Lane. Now we live here full time and absolutely love it, we don't think there is a better place to be.

What makes this property unique

The area is very nice. You can walk or run down the back roads around the lake and everyone is friendly and nice. It is a very safe place. Thompsons Lake is a wonderful place to visit. On a summer day you will find people kayaking and fishing. On the weekends you will see some people water skiing, sailing, fishing or enjoying the afternoon on a pontoon boat. The lake is great for fishing, The DEC re-stocks it every year. The water is clean and the area is beautiful.
