Located in the beautiful Heldebergs, This is a cute little house you will love.

This cozy house is decorated with a cute Adirondack theme. There is a bedroom and bathroom downstairs. The upstairs loft is a large master suite with a queen bed and a futon. Downstairs is the open living room and kitchen with an electric fireplace. There is a charcoal park grill and small fire pit in the back yard. This is a great place for a fall foliage or Romantic get away. It is located near and has lake access to Thompsons Lake and close to many hiking or mountain biking trails in John Boyd Thachers Park (including the historic Indian Ladder Trail). (https://www.instagram.com/p/CVBa7Vmj5Lh/?utm_medium=copy_link) The park is less than a mile away. Bring a fishing pole, kayak, SUP, or canoe and enjoy a paddle on the beautiful calm lake, or just sit by the lake and enjoy the nature and beauty. Many other hiking trails are nearby including Wolf Creek Falls Preserve, The Winn Perserve (both in Knox) , and The Huyck Preserve in Rensseelearville. For a bite to eat, Maple On The Lake is a great place to eat and enjoy Warners lake and is less than 10 minutes away.
If you like brewerys there are many nearby: Heldeberge Mountain Brewery, Back Barn Brewery, Wayward Lane Brewery, Green Wolf Brewery, Wolf Hollow Brewery, Frog Alley Brewery to name a few.
Only 15-20 minutes away you can visit the Altamont Orchards in Altamont (with restaurant, brewery, and golf course) or Indian Ladder Farms in Vohreesville, an orchard, store, and brewery. In August you can go to the Altamont or Cobleskill Fair.

Located only 30 minutes from Albany, this location is ideal. In Albany you can visit the NYS Museum, The Capitol Building, or The Albany Institute of History and Art. About the same distance to the west is the cute little town of Schoharie where you can find The Carrot Barn and The Apple Barrel, two favorite spots for lunch and shopping.

If you want to venture out an hour, You can get to Sharon Springs (Beekman Store) Copperstown (Baseball Hall of Fame) Saratoga (SPAC, Track, Museums) and hiking in the Catskill Mountains.

Two hours away you can find Lake George, Herkimer Diamond Mines, Woodstock, Stockbridge Ma (Norman Rockwell Museum) and The great Adirondack Mountains.

Delightful
We had a great weekend at this gem of a cabin. It was clean, well taken care of, and beautifully decorated with thoughtful touches like local lotions, scrubs, shampoo and conditioner, ingredients to make s’mores. Beyond what we expected. We enjoyed the lake access, the fire pit and the close proximity to John Boyd Stare Park which had great hiking, playground and visitors center. We hope to visit again one day. Thank you, Erika!

Peace & Quiet In The Woods
The cabin fit our needs & served us well as a "base of operations" to explore the surrounding area while offering us well deserved peace & quiet. Having access to the lake (quick 2m walk) was excellent as well as use of the floating dock, floaties, and kayaks. Super close to trails at Thacher State Park. Loved checking out the surrounding restaurants, attractions, breweries, and wineries. Nothing but positive comments for the interactions with the owners. The cabin was well equipped for travel essentials.

My husband and I escaped our busy lives for a weekend and truly could not have asked for a better place for a respite. The back covered deck was phenomenal in sun and rain. We had a wonderful weekend away here and would definitely recommend this home to others.

Relaxing
The house was lovely and in a nice country setting. 2 minute walk to Thompson lake. It was perfect for the 2 of us. There were already condiments, spices and coffee pods. Decorated so country cabin like. Enjoyed the back porch in the morning listening to birds. It was very close to vooresville where family was. If I wasn’t with my elderly mother, I would have gone hiking at thatcher park, pretty much right down the road.

Such a sweet place
The owner has obviously really taken her time with and enjoyed the process of setting this cottage up for guests. Everything was so nice that my kids were ready to miss in! Beds are super comfy (even the futon!), plenty of towels, nice toiletries, etc. Really excellent. Looking forward to returning.

Hidden gem
My kids and I really enjoyed our stay. It is a great getaway from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Just a short 5 min drive to thatcher park and lake access to Thompson lake. Enjoyable even in the middle of February. We would have stayed longer if we could have. Can’t wait to go back

Perfect Getaway
Staying at this cabin was everything we hoped. Tucked away and with access to State parks, hiking trails, farms, wineries, and a short drive to Albany, Erika’s cozy cabin was exactly the escape we needed. The cabin is exactly as depicted, felt cozy, was well-kept, and was outfitted to recharge us. I’ll definitely book this listing again when I return upstate!

Adorable little cabin, very clean, great hospitality, fabulous location for a peaceful getaway! Erika was very warm, welcoming and accommodating! The space worked well for our group. My husband and I were in the downstairs bedroom, and my sister, her husband, and son were upstairs in the loft. It was the perfect place for us to visit nearby family.

Fall trip to NY
We loved our stay in Erika’s charming and comfortable house. We greatly enjoyed the quiet location and appreciated all of the attention to detail especially the wonderful woodland theme. The location was convenient for exploring many nearby points of interest - from hiking Indian Ladder Trail, Vroman’s Nose, and Rensselaerville Falls to biking a section of the Erie Canal and venturing to Saratoga National Battlefield. We definitely would stay here again!

Cute cottage in the woods
This cute cottage lived up to it's reputation! Nestled in the woods just a short walk from Thompsons Lake and just a short drive to all parts of Thatcher Park. Inside the cottage was fully furnished, cozy and comfortable. Erika was kind, helpful and made our stay an enjoyable one.

We stayed in Erika's lovely cottage while we were in the area for a wedding in Altamont. It was very convenient to the venue and we had time to explore Thacher State Park. We had a few questions for Erika during our stay and she was very responsive.

Beautiful, clean and cozy cottage by the lake
2 college friends stayed at Erika’s beautiful, clean and comfy cottage and had a great time. The location was perfect for us since it was near the Albany airport and had a beautiful lake behind the house. It was a short walk down the hill and Erika had 2 chairs for us to sit and enjoy the view. The house had everything we needed to cook during the week and a cute deck out back to enjoy the view of the trees. The hammock was also a great touch! Best of all, the house was clean and the beds were very comfortable. Erika lives down the road but we never saw her or her family. She was very receptive with any questions and gave us plenty of suggestions to do in the area. We had friends in Stamford so we were back and forth throughout the week. We will definitely stay here again! Next time we want to take advantage of the lake and rent a kayak or a paddle board. The lake was clean to go for a swim but it was a bit chilly for us. There was a state park close by to rent kayaks but you have to drive into the campground. Wifi was great too since we both worked while we were there. We really enjoyed our stay!
