About this cabin rental

Rustic cabin by Twin Island Lake, Pine Plains, NY
Sitting on quiet Lake Road and nestled in the woods, my rental built in 1950 is fashioned after a vintage lake cabin. As seen in the pictures, I have dressed the the space with props reminiscent of that era.

The cabin offers a well equipped kitchen (no dishwasher), a bath with a large claw footed tub and an outdoor hot and cold shower. There are two bedroom areas; one with a single bed and pop-up trundle, the other a double bed. The double is an old-fashioned spring bed.
The front sitting room/kitchen area has great views of the lake with an over head ceiling fan (no air conditioning) and a wood burning stove for cooler temps. The property extends across a quiet lane and includes Lake front seating area, dock seating area and canoe.

Swimming in the lake out front is possible in the Spring and Fall. But during the summer, there is an over abundance of water lilies. At that time, it is good for boating (15mph electric limit) and fishing. There are 3 bodies of water connected. The next called Stissing lake is deeper and offers 2 good swimming options. One is the Lions Club Beach requiring a permit which I provide and the other public entry can be located on the hiking and swimming map which I provide.
The scenic hiking trails are around Thompson Pond, the third in the chain of lakes and up Stissing Mountain to the fire tower.

The town of Pine Plains is small and quaint New England. It offers a Historic Inn for dining, several other small eateries and a WIFI coffee shop. The food market, Pecks, is family owned and carries local produce as well as some organic. But it is currently cutting back. Hannafords in Red Hook is the more complete source. The Stissing House has been reviewed in the NYT (top 10 eateries 2023) and the Stissing Center for Arts and Culture on Main Street has a full calendar.

This is an owner shared cabin; I may be there when it is not lent out and keep a permanent bureau and closet with my things.

No land line or TV. Good cell reception. WIFI available.
There is a suitcase of board games, puzzles, cards and plenty of mystery books.

Not winterized, the cabin is closed down in October and opened again by June. Book ahead. Discounted weekly rate.

Magical vintage cabin straight out of a Wes Anderson film. Cosy, organized, curated and with very clear directions.. Bed could be a bit firmer, but hey, it’s a movie set and very authentic in a world where everything is synthetic and drywall. Enjoy the vibe.

The cottage is, as advertised, vintage 50s in decor. We loved it. The setting is beautiful. The kitchen is well stocked with pots and pans and utensils. We could have used one or two more fans, but we stayed during a heat wave. Most visitors probably won't have this problem.

Very rustic and exactly as described. If you love camping/glamping, this is for you! The outdoor shower was lovely. The lake was very quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed unplugging and relaxing, playing croquet, scrabble and cards.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Sep 2022
If you want privacy this is the place! We loved the quiet and tranquility. It is extremely rustic. The “on demand” heater needs to be repaired. We were boiling water for baths… no shower. Also, replacement of both mattress would not hurt either. The rolling to the centre was not optional. We loved being close to Stissing House and Champetre for 2 nights dining out, with only a 3 minute drive back home. In conclusion, if you enjoy camping this is your quaint, peaceful little cabin with plenty of hiking to be enjoyed close by.
