This past weekend, my wife, our puppy and I took the 3-1/2 hour drive from the Buffalo, NY area to the small town of Greig to stay in a cabin that we chose based solely upon online pictures and descriptions. I must say, we were certainly not disappointed.
Upon pulling up the secluded driveway we were met with the sight of this beautiful little cabin, that you could tell was crafted with care. (note: I am a contractor and carpenter by trade, and a picky one at that)
However, as nice as the cabin was at first glance, the view and proximity of Otter Creek at the rear of the property was the show-stopper, I'm pretty sure I cracked a beer and started a fire (in the beautifully laid out firepit area only feet from the creek) within ten minutes upon arrival and relaxation set in, but I digress...
Inside the cabin was also a delight. Even though it is only roughly about 600-700 sq. ft. in size, there was nothing lacking. The kitchen was thoughtfully organized and stocked with just about everything you could need to prepare just about any type of meal (I also was a caterer in a past life). There was also a nice gas grill on premise. The bedroom and bathroom were very clean and well organized. Honestly, this felt more like borrowing a cabin from a friend than a place that is rented out to strangers. Cleanliness was superb, better than some expensive hotels we stayed at in the past.
The owners also provide a wealth of information about hiking and sightseeing in the area. We went to two of the suggested hiking trails that were nearby, and they were gorgeous.
And... because unplugging for a weekend is typically impossible for most people (ourselves included), WiFi and Apple TV are also available, and work well.
I could keep going, but you get the picture. I cannot recommend this place enough. The only thing I'd change for our next visit will be adding a few more nights.
