We had an excellent stay in Poughquag!! The cabin is cozy and well-appointed with a great kitchen, and the property is beautiful. We enjoyed being in such a secluded, peaceful spot and exploring the trails with our dog. Although we were only a short drive from lots of cute towns we ended up spending most of our time at the cabin because we loved it so much. Hope to return to see it in another season!
The property was not suitable for a long-term stay. There were too many issues that the host was unable to rectify in a short period of time. We drove from Texas to enjoy a summer in NY so sadly, summer 2025 was a bust. Thereâs only one reason I gave it 2 stars instead of 1, and thatâs because the host meant well, but he either needs to never rent long-term or to make some significant repairs & improvements if he does. He also needs to learn how to use the VRBO portal because due to his error, our refund was held up for almost 2 weeks.
This was a quick getaway for my husband and I. When we first drove up we thought we were in the wrong place. The exterior of the cabin and yard is a little rough and is a work in progress. The interior is as pictured in the listing. There are also trails as listed. As far as things to do around the cabin there is not a lot. You are situated inside a residential neighborhood and a grocery store, restaurants and the closest town is about 20 minutes. Overall it is a beautiful cabin tucked away in the woods. If you are looking for true peace and quiet and country living this is the place.
Beautiful property, great interior, lovely upgrades. Host helped us enjoy our stay by recommending restaurants and identified places to hike around the properties. Wifi was excellent and shower was a treat.
David was a wonderful hostâhe got in touch with us right away on the day of our trip and provided all the information we needed to get in and settled with no stress. The cabin was clean, cozy, and just the right size for two or three people.The space is minimalist, but so thoughtfully done and truly beautiful. If youâre looking for a peaceful spot to relax or a base for hiking, this is it. I especially loved that there was no TVâit really encouraged us to unplug. It feels remote enough to be quiet and relaxing, but still close enough to everything you might need.My boyfriend and I had a great time and a really positive experience. Weâll definitely be coming back!
Had a great time with my wife and my dog Koda. Very peaceful and relaxing at the cabin. Saw some deers passing by and Koda had a good time running on the trails. Cabin was nice and cozy. David the host was great with his communications about the property. Would definitely recommend staying there again.
The house is super cute, a bit bare bones, exactly as pictured, just a quiet space to lay your head and read a book. The property is huge, with a lot of walking trails. We were extremely excited to discover we saw bear poop on one of our walks. Families of deer would be munching on the grass around the house. It was nice.
Davidâs cabin in the woods was an absolutely incredible experience for me and my dog, Hudson. We experienced the best of the Hudson Valley. The woods, forest and property surrounding the cabin are endless and limitless. Hudson had the absolute time of her life, sniffing and exploring the property for hours, chasing deer, and relishing her good fortune. Hudson is an older dog, so I was both thrilled and thankful that I could give her this amazing experience. It was tremendous for me as well, walking peacefully and contemplative through the woods, climbing the mountain on the property, and enjoying the incredible views of the Hudson Valley. I am so thankful that I had this experience, even if it was just for three days. I would love to return in the fall. This was a necessary break from the brutal heat of a South Florida summerâŠ..it fulfilled me.
My son and I loved getting away to this beautiful spot. We couldnât have asked for a more calm and serene spot to spend a long weekend. Weâll be back this summer!
