Great Homey Cabin
Perfect cabin for small groups/families. Everything in the description of the property is accurate, read through it entirely! Definitely bring your own water, the well water is strong. Quiet, peaceful area and not too far from towns in any direction. We went to LeRoy for gas, pizza, and groceries. Very happy about the cabin being pet friendly; I brought my 80 lb hound-mix and he did great with the size of the cabin, loved the backyard and the backroads were perfect for going on walks. The Moraine View park was great, but I recommend visiting when all accommodations are open for the season. Overall, great experience for a getaway, it was home away from home!

Perfect get away
I'm a little late with the review but we had a great time. Perfect location for a fall getaway and the state park across the street is a bonus! The autumn colors in the area were gorgeous.

About the host

Host profile image
Moraine View State Park & Dawson lake provide many things to do in the summer and winter. My favorite things about this area is hiking with my dog year round through the trails to the Lake for a swim, all the wildlife, kayaking on the lake, and cycling on through the park and surrounding areas.

Moraine View State Park is very relaxed and not busy, even at the beach in the summer.
