Cabin in Kerhonkson

The Metsämökki is a small Finnish cabin in the foothills of the Catskill Mountains. Originally a sauna that was shipped here from Finland. We renovated it to a tiny house that offers complete privacy. Enjoy the babbling brook while sitting on the deck and taking in the surrounding nature. We're not offering high-tech or glamour but this cabin is a beautiful retreat from the busy city. **Check out our new midweek discounted rates and enjoy a little extra time for a great price!! The space This was originally a sauna, so the living space is small but efficient. You will notice some of the original sauna nuances like the small door on the bathroom which has been modified for head space and the unique shape of the log structure. In the kitchenette there is a tiny refrigerator. You may want to bring coolers for backup but we do have a large fridge in the shed if you find you need more cold storage. There is a 2-slice toaster, a small automatic coffeemaker and extra cookware. There is a light under the shelf right over the stove. We supply salt/pepper, olive oil & balsamic, sugar and coffee filters. We also supply dish soap, sponge, two kitchen towels & garbage bags. We offer garbage removal for our guests. Please put all garbage & recycling in shed at end of stay. Use yellow bear-proof garbage can provided and blue recycling bin. In the main room there is a futon that can be pulled out for more sleeping space. The bathroom was where the original sauna woodstove was before it was converted. You will see the small hot water heater and well pump. Whenever the water runs for a minute you will hear the pump turn on. No worries, that is perfectly normal. Only use the toilet paper provided. Be respectful of the country septic system and use the garbage can for anything other than toilet paper. Along with toilet paper, we provide tissues, shampoo, shower gel and liquid hand soap. We offer basic wifi for your devices. Guest access You have access to a nice yard that leads down to the main creek in the woods. If you don't want to venture that far you can just sit on the deck and listen to the sounds of nature. We own about 3 acres around the cabin so there is enough room to roam without trespassing on other people's properties. We offer a firepit and firewood so no need to bring your own. Sometimes guests leave charcoal behind but we do not typically supply that. Other things to note Complete transparency... we try to be upfront and honest with our guests so there are no surprises after you get here. So... the road has potholes and can be a bit tough in the winter. The power goes out quite often due to falling branches and the woodland setting. The cabin has dim minimal lighting, there are neighbors but none so close that they interfere with your privacy, and there are lots of critters - we're pretty certain there's a family of bunnies living under the shed, a groundhog who frequents the cabin, mice, frogs, deer and bear that wander the neighborhood. And we love guests that are self-sufficient, that jump right in and take the cabin on as their own. We're busy folks with full-time jobs but my husband & I are grateful for the opportunity to share our little abode with others, so we always make ourselves available when needed. Hopefully this info gives you some insight before booking with us :) Hope to have an opportunity to host!!
