Quaint Lakeside Nature Cabin | Cabin in Rensselaerville

A mixture of early attic and cool re-purposed treasures, this quiet, quaint Cabin overlooks our 9 acre lake. Skylights & starshine reconnect you to the natural world. Wonderful for relaxation, peaceful exploration, fishing, artists, musicians or writers retreat.
Our focus and purpose on this land is to provide stewardship and sanctuary for the Natural world to maintain it’s own balance with minimal interference from humans. To remain wild and free. We are a plant, wildlife and butterfly sanctuary.
We rent the Cabin to support and fund the maintenance and expansion of native and pollinating species of plants, expanding the area that we steward, providing habitat and refuge for animals, insects, birds and more. We wish to share our Cabin with people that love and respect the Earth, who wish to contribute to a conservation project through their own presence and mindfulness.
Due to the COVID-19 situation we would prefer longer stays however we will consider stays as short as 5 nites. Until further notice, there will be no access available to the main building, no private sessions, and no meal plans.
This cabin has a glassed in porch overlooking the lake, complete with rocking chairs; loft, open living area and half bath. Bathroom has a composting/camping toilet, there is also an outdoor camping shower available in a privacy tent (seasonal only). Water containers with pumps provide fresh well water in the kitchen and the bathroom for drinking and washing. The cabin is also equipped with a small refrigerator, a toaster oven, electric kettle, a double burner cooktop and French press. This cabin is cute and funky with lots of charm!
We are a plant, wildlife, and butterfly sanctuary! We grow a lot of plants to maintain and support a variety species. Our property is not highly manicured - if that won't work for you, then another location may be more appropriate. There is a path around the 9 acre lake, and although we have an abundance of wildflowers, there many areas to swim.
We have puzzles, games, cards etc for those that like to play; also coloring books, sketch pad, colored pencils for exploring your creative side.
We are constantly upgrading and improving our cabin -- new artwork, bedding, general coziness and fun stuff!
Please note, this is a cabin in the woods and there are wild creatures that live here. There is always a chance that one of these small beings can find their way into the cabin, if this is a problem for you please do not book the cabin. We have other listings that may be better suited to your needs. Please contact us about them. We do suggest that you put all food and drink away as leaving these items out can attract creatures to the building.
The cabin is available year-round, it has a rocket stove mass heater. Please note: We provide wood for heating the cabin, but it must be chopped down to kindling size for use in the rocket stove. We have a special tool for this that we leave for our guests. Be sure to bring whatever gear you need to be comfortable outside while using it.
Cabin can accommodate up to 4 people. There’s a queen bed, beanbag bed in the loft and a single futon bed. Please contact us before bringing any pets - you can find more information in the house rules. We charge $20 per night per pet.
We are working farm, and sometimes have animals that need short term special care. So you may find a baby chicken, turkey, duck, pig or rabbit nestled in a box or tub inside the main building. Most often you will be able to interact with them but please ask first!
We use all organic and natural cleaning products and methods in all of our rentals, private and public space.
Lovely swim-able private lake, forest & gardens. Canoeing, fishing (catch and release), and hiking available on our property. Also nearby (2 miles up the road) is a 2500 acre hiking/nature preserve.
Full organic meal plans offered separately (and we are happy to pack a lunch for you if you're going to be out and about) -- can accommodate gluten & dairy free and most specialized diets. Please make arrangements ahead of your stay for any meals you would like us to provide. We also offer picnics (with a real basket and everything!) that you can have on site or take on your travels (again, by prior arrangement).
Sauna, Ionizing Foot Bath and private sessions (massage, reiki, ear coning, health consults and more) also usually available, please ask for our fee schedule and plan ahead.
Other things to note
We do have 3 very friendly dogs that will want to be your best friends. Also farm animals that we are happy to introduce you to, baby goat therapy is the best! There will be farm noises, roosters greeting the morning and various grunts and snorts... far less noise than any modern city.
We are 25 miles SW of Albany and Albany along with the surrounding areas have many events etc going on. There's hiking, biking, nature parks, horse racing, concerts, festivals and events and so much more. Lots to do in the winter as well! We are close to ski areas (Hunter & Windham), snow tubing and we have snowshoeing and cross country skiing here on our property (as long as there's snow). Links and information will be provided to guests that stay with us that are looking for entertainment & excursions.
