About this property

10 MIN to WINDHAM CLASSIC 4BR LOG CABIN HUGE VIEWS New Deck New Hot Tub Fire Pit

Please read entire listing before submitting inquiries/booking requests. New oversized 'Trex' back deck and new hot tub June 2024. New Bike and ski storage area/workshop!

Classic in style, but full of creature comforts, our log cabin will be your perfect home base for hiking, skiing, wine-tasting, or just relaxing while soaking in the natural mountain surroundings. Only 10 minutes from downtown Windham with access to a main road, this house is also perfectly secluded and enjoys incredible quietude due to being on the side of Mt. Pisgah, surrounded only by thick forest and beautiful farmland. Out back, a private hot tub sits on the brand new 'trex' deck, overlooking a stone fire pit and a star-studded view that stretches all the way to Massachusetts. In the summer, picnic and play games on a sprawling lawn.

Inside, a fully stocked kitchen (including spices, coffee, and other essentials) and wood-burning majestic stone fireplace await cozy days spent holed up. Four bedrooms with queen-size memory foam beds (one of which has a twin bed bunked above it) and fresh organic cotton linens will easily accommodate you and your friends. Two charming bathrooms offer updated rain head showers. A wood stove in the upstairs master bedroom provides a warm and romantic ambiance. Enjoy a home-cooked meal in the stunning window-filled dining room which easily seats eight.

Upstairs, there is a TV Room with all comfy oversized couches; there are comfortable and lovingly maintained furnishings, beds and linens throughout the house.

There are incredible hiking, biking, skiing and countless other activities in the area. We have a list of our favorite things to do nearby that we can provide upon booking.

Some things to note:
(1) Guests must check out no later than 11:00am, unless we give prior written approval of a later check-out. This is to allow a proper cleaning before the next guests arrive. Please be respectful of the cleaning staff's time.

(2) For summer renters, please note that the house does not have air conditioning. The cabin is situated on the side of a mountain which is usually 10 or 15 degrees cooler than the valley floor. There are ceiling fans throughout the house.

(3) We have done our best to update the house with modern comforts! That being said, the house is in a rural area so internet speeds are not as fast as they are in the city. We have found that the internet is reliable enough to check emails or work remotely.

(4) While the house is finished and fully insulated, and cleaned for every renter, it is located in the mountains and (depending on the time of year), some critters do find their way into the home despite our best efforts and pest-proofing. Again, we have found that being careful about food clean-up and securing doors/windows (especially at night) minimizes any issues.

(5) The basement houses our laundry facilities and bike and ski workshop. But please do not try to drive cars down the slope to the doors, as it is muddy most of the year. As noted in our house manual you will receive, we also ask you to please only park in the designated area.

(6) Use of the hot tub and fire pit are at renters' own risk.

We love our home and want to be upfront with our renters. We hope you will come and love it as much as we do!

Perfect for a girls weekend

Stayed here for a small girls trip that combined NYC and Boston friends and this was a great halfway point. Didn't take advantage of the yard or dining space but could totally see coming back in the summer. Esp loved the open kitchen and living room space, we spent most of the weekend there just catching up. Kitchen was really well stocked. They have laundry. Plenty of towels etc. Overall very cozy and welcoming. Thank you!

2nd time to visit

We love the cabin. It’s so cozy and warm. It was our second time staying in the cabin and it was as wonderful as the first time. Very clean and there is everything you need. Windham Mountain Club is about 15 min away. Very easy to get to.

Perfect spot for a ski weekend!

Overall, this property was GREAT for our ski weekend! Proximity to Windham was fantastic and the house was so cozy to come back to after a day of being on the slopes! Everything was clean, instructions were well laid out, and there was a very nice “Welcome” for when we arrived! We had a bit of a snow storm while we were there too and the snow plow company was AMAZING! 10/10 overall experience and would definitely recommend! We’ll probably rebook again in the future too!

Ski/Snowboard Getaway Windham and Hunter

My family of 7 adults totally enjoyed their yearly ski/snowboard trip this year. Travel to Windham was 15 minutes away and Hunter was 30 minutes away, short trip to ski/snowboard, come home to a cozy cabin for a big supper, take equipment directly downstairs out of the way, use holders for ski/snowboard equipment in the basement, sooth the sore muscles away in the hot tub at night. Kitchen fully stocked with variety of pots/pans/utensils even a crock pot! Perfect coffee table on 1st floor used as breakfast/supper eatery then at night game fest begins! Kids (19-22) already said to put on list to go back again!!!

Quiet cabin

There was a nice large dining area and two comfortable areas for relaxing. There was enough space for privacy if needed. The fire area was nice and the mowed area left plenty of room for the dogs to run and not get into the woods.

Catskills Stay 2024

We used this as our base for activities that we were doing in the area. The kitchen was exceptionally well appointed - the hosts provided spices and seasonings, a full range of utensils which made cooking at home very easy. They are absolutely sincere when they say that they hope we enjoy cooking at the cabin. The hosts also made it easy by providing sheets and towels as well as beach towels for the hot tub. We arrived during a heat wave in the Northeast but the house was comfortable and the ceiling fans kept the place cool. Overall the temperature dropped about 10 - 15 degrees as we drove up to the house from the valleys and night temperatures were excellent for sleeping, even during the heat wave. It was a lovely stay.

Great getaway with family

We were in Windham for a weekend wedding celebration at another house. This was the retreat for the family elders that on Sunday became the place where the younger ones waiting to go to the airport came and hung out, there was plenty of conversational space. It was delightful, and I personally loved watching through the picture window the way the clouds rolled in and enclosed us, then left us with a perfect view of the hills. Breakfast on the terrace with the sun on our backs this morning was a good way to start home.

Truly The Catskills Coziest!

Had an amazing time! The property was just like in the pictures and super cozy. Close enough to restaurants and town, but love that it was tucked away once you are at the house. Host was quick with communication and helpful! Would def come back again!

Valentines Day Getaway

My fiancée and I stayed here for 2 nights during Valentine’s Day and it could not a been a more beautiful and serene place to stay. The hosts went above and beyond to make us feel like we had our own private cabin in the Catskills. Fire wood was stocked and ready. The fireplace made the cabin feel cozy and warm. Their open communication and quick responses gave us all the tools for a successful stay. The home was beautiful and the light snowfall we had during our stay created a postcard view. The hot tub on the deck was the cherry on top of our stay. It was clean, hot, and ready to use. We hope we have the opportunity to stay here again.

vacation at Durham

Our winter vacation was the best! Check in process and instructions were reasonable and easy to understand. The house was clean and comfortable, everything was working well. The location is secluded, but it does not give you a feeling like you are alone in the woods. The view of the mountains is magnificent, the stars in the sky seem so close to the ground, the air is pure and it smells like pine forest. The house is close to all skiing areas, we went to Catamount, Windham, Plattekill and checked all the antique stores around. After skiing, jacuzzi and the fireplace felt like a pure pleasure. We would definitely recommend this house to families with pets, the property is well maintained and exceeded our expectations. We appreciate the hospitality, thank you Pavaana and David!

Always amazing!

I think this was my fifth time renting this cabin, we absolutely love it. It’s cozy and feels like home. Me and my group of friends look forward to our long weekends here every year. And every year it’s just the best. This year it snowed about a 12in the night we got there, while making breakfast the next morning the host were so kind to send someone to dig us out of the snow! We were ready to shovel ourselves, but was very thoughtful to send help!!

WONDERFUL!

We had a great time! The house was spotless. Well stocked, super comfy beds, and very cozy! My only comment was for the hosts to consider retractable baby gates on the stairs- We had a three year old who was fine but any younger I would be nervous. The fireplace inside and the fire pit out were both so enjoyable. Thank you and can't wait to book again next year!

Beautiful cabin!

Very clean! Close to several ski mountains. The owner left fresh flowers and bottle of wine which was an unexpected surprise! Large, comfortable rooms. An abundance of towels, warm bedding, hot water(even with 3-4 people showering in a row). Well stocked kitchen( massive crockpot, tea kettle, pots and pans, etc). Plenty of coffee, sugar, spice rack, and condiments in the fridge. Washer/dryer in clean basement ( they provide detergent, liquid softener, but no softener sheets, maybe used up by previous customer and not restocked ? ) Of note, it would have been nice to have the list of rules 1-2 days before to know about the small parking pad/where to park. We received that info on the way there (driving from Phila) and due to spotty Wi-Fi were not able to access until we arrived and looked in rules binder in the house. Overall, amazing time and would DEFINITELY recommend this beautiful cabin!

Great Long Weekend

Met 4 friends I grew up with at the cottage. 3 of them worked in East Durham during the summers in the early 90's. Some of the guys haven't seen each other in 20 years. Cottage was great, comfortable, a home away from home. Plenty of kitchen supplies, plenty of clean linens. Owners were easy to work with during the rental process. Would definitely stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Paavana and David Lepard

Host profile image
We're a newly married couple looking for some respite from a busy NYC lifestyle. We love to spend our weekends trail running, fat-biking, winery-hopping, or just taking in the mountains by a crackling fire--and the Northern Catskills were the answer on all fronts. We purchased this cabin earlier this year and spent the summer prepping it for fall and winter renting. We've poured a lot of work into it, but we finally feel like the place offers the kind of weekend experience that we look for either on our own or with friends. We hope you'll love the cabin as much as we do!
