Escape to Serenity: Off-Grid Cabin on Spring-Fed Pond, Your Private Sanctuary.

Stargazing, Bird Songs & Campfire Nights

Unplug, unwind, and immerse yourself in nature at our charming off-grid cabin, nestled on a peaceful farmstead beside a crystal-clear spring-fed pond. Wake up to mist rising over the water, sip coffee while birdwatching** (Red Winged Black Birds, kingfishers, and warblers and 17 others I have so far identified!), and let the symphony of frogs lull you to sleep.

**Why You’ll Love It:**
✨ **Ultimate Privacy**: Your own slice of wilderness—no neighbors, no noise, just acres of tranquility.
🔥 **Cozy Evenings**: Roast marshmallows under starry skies at your private **fire pit** (wood provided!).
🌙 **Magical Nights**: Ample **outdoor solar lighting** creates a warm, enchanting atmosphere for evening gatherings.
🚶‍♂️ **Nature at Your Doorstep**: Walk to **Canaseraga Creek** for serene wading or fishing, or explore miles of quiet woodland trails right from the property.
🏞️ **Adventure Nearby**: Minutes from legendary **Letchworth State Park** ("Grand Canyon of the East") and **Stony Brook State Park** (waterfalls & gorges!).

**The Cabin:**
• Solar-powered essentials (lights + USB charging)
• Cozy sleeping on one queen and one full futon + basic kitchenette supplies, a table top grill and two burner propane stove (outdoor).
• Privacy tent with self contained flushing toilet and additional tent for dressing and a shower pump.
• Pond access for peaceful paddling (bring your kayak!)
• Farm-fresh eggs available (seasonal)

**Perfect For:**
• Nature lovers & birders
• Couples seeking a digital detox
• Hikers & waterfall chasers
• Writers/artists craving inspiration


**Call to Action:**
**Ready to recharge?** Limited summer dates available!

**Birds we have seen: Rose breasted gosbeaks, Goldfinches, Cardinals, Blue Jays, red-breasted robins, red crowned woodpeckers, downy woodpeckers, crows, Canadian geese, Mallards, red tail Hawks, bald eagles, hummingbirds, red-winged blackbirds, grackles, black-headed Baltimore Orioles and others we have not been able to identify! We have feeders all around the property with different types of seed to encourage a variety of birds to come.

Absolutely terrible experience! Rude owner!

I honestly was looking so forward to getting away. She makes it sound so amazing in the overview. While the cabin is pretty much as pictured, the pond and property are not. There is goose poop everywhere the grass is overgrown. I should have known when i got an email the day of telling me now i have to bring my own propane tank.i asked her if it was completely secluded quickly after booking. She assured me that it was, but its not. You can see her house and yard from the cabin. The man made rock stairs are nice, but unstable. When i told the homeowner. She said they had a hurricane 3 weeks ago and had consecutive people staying there, thats why they werent fixed. Wouldnt you want to reduce your risk of your guests getting hurt. The grass was extremely tall and not maintained. I get youre in nature, but break out the weedwacker at least around the bathroom and shower areas. The pond was unswimmable. It clearly states in her overview the pond is spring fed and swimmable. Does not state specific time of year. When i mentioned she stated i should have asked about the pond sooner. Why would i ask when it states its swimmable? I asked for a full refund. Owner agreed minus $60 cleaning fee. Now mind you i was there less than an hour, but i did enter the cabin so i ageed. Problem is owner kept $250 and hasnt responded. Save yourself the aggravation and go somewhere else!

Peace and tranquility

Loved the cabin. It was very clean and had everything we needed. The property was just lovely. Alexandra was the perfect host. They brought us a big pile of firewood to roast our marshmallows. She tried to bring her goat to meet our corgi pups but they just barked and barked. It was a real treat to visit Stony Brook State Park near by. It has a huge natural amazing swimming pool at the bottom of the waterfalls. Also Letchworth State Park is only 25 minutes away. We really enjoyed the views at this park also. I would highly recommend staying at this property especially if you have dogs You won’t be disappointed.

Off grid yet close to town

Check in was easy, they even got the wood burning stove warmed up for us. No plumbing or electricity, but the amenities provided were suitable. Great location just minutes to town.
