Cabin was so cute. Beautifully decorated and stocked with all the essentials. Road noise was there as you are right off a busy highway. I enjoyed it. But some may not. Only downside is the upstairs was rather hot seems the air conditioning did not make it all the way up there. Owners were very attentive and responsive. I would go back again.

Adorable cabin in a great location

The cabin is located conveniently across the street from a hotel that has a bar and food, and less than 3 miles from the beach of Lake Jean and Rickett's Glen Falls Trail. It's secluded and the property is beautifully maintained. There were only two negatives: the first being that we stayed here when it was 90 and there is no AC upstairs where the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms are. Luckily we didn't have guests or additional people with us, as it would have been truly uninhabitable to stay upstairs in the summer. I don't remember this being specified in the listing. The second was that it was a 20 charge for linens, but we were only provided with two small pillows and a tiny blanket that barely covered the both of us. I would recommend skipping the added fee and bringing your own sheets and blankets. Otherwise, overall great experience! Also, there is wood on the property available for sale which added to the convenience. Would stay again, but not in the heat of summer.

One-night Stay

Check in was very easy and convenient. The Inn appeared clean and had a nice atmosphere. There was an unpleasant preexisting odor that we could smell walking into the Inn coming from both bathrooms. One bathroom was off the downstairs bedroom. The odor from the bathroom leaked in from the walls to where we could not sleep in that bedroom at all. The hand soap dispensers were so used that hardly anything was coming out of them because it was leaking from the sides. When I turned on the fan in the downstairs bedroom, large clumps of dust flew everywhere. After two showers, we ran out of hot water.

Perfect location for hiking Ricketts Glen

I found Cabin in the Woods (aka Fish Tales Inn) from reading comments on Facebook regarding the Falls Trail at Ricketts Glen State Park…absolutely perfect location if you are looking to do the same…and the 21waterfalls are beautiful!!! There is a huge fire ring for making campfires to stay warm at night, make mountain pies, smores, etc. Two grocery stores are nearby (Country Fresh Market and Mountain Fresh Supermarket) if looking to buy your groceries there. However, Country Fresh Market does not sell corned beef at the deli, except around St. Patrick’s day, if wanting to make rueben mountain pies…may want to plan ahead for that. Highly recommend and we are actually talking about a return trip maybe for next year. Jessica was very responsive with any changes and questions we had as well.

Weekend getaway

The house was super cute and cozy. Modern appliances and furniture was very comfortable. The shower pressure was great!,Private and set in a wooded lot away from the road. Beautiful landscaping and comfy chairs on front porch where we watched a thunderstorm.The owner was extremely accomodating and responsive. Even checked in after our 1st night to make sure we didnt need anything. Property is minutes from state park. We had a great time and would definitely recommend this property to escape from the chaos of your day to day!

A great find!

This property is beautifully maintained and better than what we expected! The exterior landscaping and the fire pit were such a lovely welcome, the kitchen had everything we needed (and some pantry essentials we forgot to pack!). The beds were comfortable, the bathrooms had consistent water pressure/temperature, and the living room was cozy. The extras - games, throw blankets, bug spray - were so thoughtful, and much appreciated. Can’t beat the location - centrally located and easy to get to all Ricketts Glen trails, and close enough that we also traveled to nearby Worlds End park. The home itself is off of a major road, but it’s set back enough and doesn’t disturb the peace. Really can’t say enough great things about this property and can’t wait to return!

Christmas 2024

We chose to celebrate Christmas in the mountains with family this year and rented this charming log cabin through VRBO. The cabin is a thoughtfully designed 3-bedroom, 2-bath home, perfectly nestled in a peaceful woodland setting. Its location was ideal—quiet and secluded yet conveniently close to nearby attractions.The cabin had everything we needed, from amenities to a clean, cozy atmosphere. We didn’t have to reach out to the owner at any point during our stay, as the check-in and check-out process was seamless, and everything was perfectly prepared for us.This holiday was truly one of the best we’ve had in years. If you’re looking for a serene escape surrounded by nature, we highly recommend this log cabin for a memorable family getaway.
