Additionally, it offers dining for six and a spacious living room, which opens onto the screened porch. The well-appointed kitchen and stainless steel gas grill provide the perfect combination for a night of entertaining or a nice meal with the family. For those who prefer some quiet time or like to make the most of a rainy day, you can relax with a good book in the sleeping loft, play board games or browse the wireless internet from any location you choose. This cabin boasts two master suites, each with its own king-sized bed, smart TV and private bathroom. Each room features Egyptian cotton sheets, warm quilts and down comforters.

Gorgeous property! Our family of three rented this cozy home for the Thanksgiving holiday week. The home and finishings were beautiful, beautiful contemporary mountain feel. Location was superb! Glenn Falls hike was our favorite, located just a street over. Our 3 year old son loved the little reading nook loft - so adorable! Fireplace inside and fire pit outside were used daily, amazing to have the wood available for purchase in the honor box. The home was so clean and inviting when we arrived. Best VRBO we have ever used! Looking forward to coming back in the future :)
