Short break in the woods

As good as expected. I live in a country village in the UK so being away from a city is normal but the cabin is, to me, quite remote and peaceful even though buy US standards it is nothing like remote as the services are only a few miles away. 3 nights was too much of a rush and a week would enable you to get a real feel of the place and chill out. The cabin itself is interesting and the hosts are very considerate with all the info available. Walks around the cabin woods were good. I could not find a way to get into other parts of the forest further away in the local area and not sure if there was public access to those. The first night 2 deer wandered right up to the house but I don't think there will be any bears around though I would like there to be.

Deer Camp at the Cozy Cabin

We stayed at the cabin and hunted the nearby public land. The cabin is in the country but a short drive to Nunda for groceries, gas etc. and in a great location for accessing various state forests/parks. The cabin itself is very nice, modern and well stocked with everything we needed including fun games and a fire pit. The dirt roads near the cabin are very quiet and nice for walks or runs. Peggy was great to communicate with, I would definitely stay here again!

Super host cozy beautiful knotty pine cabin

Very high end well maintained inviting cabin and grounds. Beautiful knotty wood floors and log walls. Peggy goes above and beyond to ensure guests are welcome and have everything they need to enjoy their stay. She also has a binder with local site seeing and eating recommendations. She has useful labels and tips posted around the cabin making it easy to find what you need. She has DVDs and binoculars that were great for viewing the night sky. The firepit was beautiful with provided split wood and comfortable adirondack chairs where we enjoyed smores and wine.

We wanted to celebrate our 55th anniversary in a cabin near Letcchworth Park, NY. I jumped on this cabin as soon as I saw it and I was NOT disappointed. Everything was perfect, the cabin was cozy with perfect craftsmanship and such lovely decorations. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a special place to get away! Our host, Peg was so kind and helpful! This is the place to stay!

Create Memories

Was great to come back! My daughter reminded me this was where I taught her to do a cartwheel. This was our third time staying here. The kids love the trails. We have to visit "the alien" each time we come. We love the setup of the fire pit. Hosts are very easy to comminicate with. Away from the city and close to Letchworth and Stony Brook.

A slice of heaven near Lechtworth State Park!

If you are in the area or need an excuse to just get away and looking for an area, look no further than this gem. Peg and Bob were amazing hosts with excellent, friendly communication. The cabin was clean, beautiful, and I'd say they thought of everything but that's not quite true...they thought of more than everything.... things I didn't even know I needed. Small flashlights hanging near the doors so you can safely make your way to the stocked firepit (complete with chairs, smores sticks, pie irons, etc.) or maybe take a hike on an actual trail around the property, bikes, indoor and outdoor games, comfy beds, A/C, grill, helpful notes around the cabin, and MUCH more. There were so many decorative and functional features of the property I could go on but in short, you will not be disappointed. Did I mention it's very close to the treasure that is Lechtworth State Park? Thank you Peg and Bob for being gracious hosts and for putting together such an amazing "resort" in the woods. I will be back!

Amazing relaxation in the woods

There were 4 of us that came to the area for a race in Letchworth State Park and wanted to explore the area for the weekend and also, just relax. This was the perfect place to do both. The cabin was cozy, well appointed and so peaceful and quiet. Peg thought of everything and left lots of notes for us to make it very easy to find everything we needed.

About the host

Hosted by Peggy Schaefer

Host profile image
Bob and I (Peg) are a clean, neat, professional, energetic, fun loving couple who enjoy hiking high peaks, traveling, reading a great book and meeting new friends. We do not watch TV on a regular basis. We prefer pursing our passions - which include all sorts of travel, adventure and exploring new areas. We benefit from sitting on our deck with a drink in the Summer; or sitting in front of the inside fireplace in the Winter.

Bob owns his own business, The Opportunity Group. He's an Organizational Coach, where he transforms Managers into Leaders. He also writes romance/mystery novels [samples at the cabin]. Peg is in charge of Stakeholder Services at the Opportunity Group, and volunteers at the local hospice.

For readers, you may find it interesting to note that much of Bob's Fantasy/Romance novel; JOURNEY, The Love Story of the Century, Part II was written in the cabin. Pictures of the trail from the cabin also appear in Part II. When you sit by the campfire, you will be sharing the same view that inspired some pretty interesting stories. The books may be found on Amazon. To find the books, Google 'Catlan Samuels Journey' (that is Bob's pen name). Part III of the trilogy is under way.

Why they chose this property

We very much enjoy the woods and getting off the grid as much as our busy schedules will allow.
When we are not there, we love to share the cabin with guests, who have a passion for peacefulness, birds, woods, nature and non-human noises.
Even though you are 20 minutes away from most anything, yet you feel like you are in the middle of no where.
Inside the cabin, being surrounded by knotty pine (and the smell of knotty pine), is almost like camping outside with the luxury of a hot shower at your fingertips.
The easy forest trails allow for a casual back to nature experience, or for the more experienced hiker, the 5 mile hike around the block might suit your needs.

What makes this property unique

Cozy Cabin is the perfect spot for couples who want a completely secluded, romantic getaway where no one will find them, but it's also great for families who want to enjoy a woods experience with modern amenities! When guests are ready to come out of the forest, there is so much to see and do all within 15-20 minutes: Letchworth State Park, Stonybrook State Park, Swain Mountain Ski Resort, the Mount Morris Dam, and 7,700 acres of NYS Wildlife Management/wilderness Area to explore! Six Flags Darien Lake is 45 minutes away, and Niagara Falls is just over an hour and a half drive!
If you are planning a day trip to Rochester and the Finger Lakes, check out the many wineries, Strong Museum of Play, Planetarium, Highland Park for their lilacs, and so much more.
