Quietly Glamorous Rustic Cabin Getaway

This adorable cabin is your perfect Hudson Valley getaway. The main floor features a wood stove, functional kitchenette and cozy seating, with stunning views across the pond from the all-glass roll up door. The upstairs bedroom features a super comfortable queen size mattress by Tuft & Needle, options to store or hang your clothes and a cute chair and ottoman. In the winter months, spend the day lazing and reading, watching movies, cooking in the cabin or exploring the local villages and towns for bakeries, farm markets, breweries and more. The pond is shallow so it is often frozen and available for ice skating if you have skates!

We love unconventional spaces. This structure was purchased as a garage kit shell with the idea of transforming it into an adorable little cabin. Once the kit was delivered we upgraded it with solar power, wifi, heated shower, and wood stove. It turned out so well that we were featured in several publications, including a Japanese Interior Design magazine in 2019. We designed the interior using reclaimed wood and corrugated sheet metal and it has the fun of set design meets DIY interior design. We used a combination of natural cotton fiber and board insulation to minimize toxins. The custom light switches in the kitchen and bathroom are marine style and feature two usb ports for charging phones and other gadgets. Hot water is supplied by a tankless water heater that gives you an unlimited amount of continuous hot water year round. The solar battery bank has an additional inline battery charger that is connected to the city power so you never run out of juice in the winter months. Two mini refrigerators are also powered by the city power. Exterior string lights with remote control, tiki torches and a fire pit will create a magical atmosphere outdoors on any given night. Firewood is stocked up for your cozy heating needs and we also have propane heaters in the bathroom and bedroom. A Dutch style main door allows you to open only top half and minimize debris getting blown inside while you enjoy the breeze. Prepare to be visited by wildlife because of the proximity of the pond (a designated federal wetland). Geese, ducks, woodpeckers, blue herons, green herons, hummingbirds, grackles, cardinals, yellow finches, muskrats, occasional beaver, foxes, raccoons, skunks, butterflies, and fireflies. Coyotes are off in the distant wooded areas and you will hear them most active in early Spring and late Fall. There is a great turntable with amazing records curated either by their level of icon or the random absurdity of their album art and there's just enough room for a dance party.
