40mi from Binghamton · 1 site · LodgingHello and welcome to our newly finished cabin! We can’t wait for you to arrive!
Enjoy “camping/glamping” indoors in our upstate New York 16x20 insulated boho/rustic cabin complete with Queen sized bed, pull out sofa with Queen sized mattress, kitchenette with sink, water (both cold and hot), mini-fridge, microwave, propane cooktop, coffeemaker, pots/pans/dishes/utensils and table/benches. Our “outhouse” is an en suite (in the cabin) composting (sawdust and/or other compostable material) toilet, shower and hand-washing sink. Heating is currently via an oil-filled electric heater(DeLonghi type).
An outdoor covered area attached to the cabin provides a table with benches, chairs, charcoal bbq and accessories, camp chairs, and some room to store extra outdoor equipment you might have.
Just 1.5 miles from the interstate, our cabin is situated on a little over an acre of land in the rural Hamlet of Fishs Eddy, New York, surrounded by mountains, with nearby access to fishing, swimming and kayaking/canoeing at the public access point about 1 mile away, and world class golfing about 20 minutes away. Occasionally, eagles soar above the trees across the road, and owls and other wildlife make themselves known in the woodland surrounding the property. Wild turkey and deer are commonly seen and cross through or close. There’s some footage in the woods to take a short walk, or sit on the Adirondack chairs and bench and enjoy a picnic. (Carry-in/carry-out/leave no trace an absolute must due to wildlife).
The main house is directly across from the cabin(about 100 feet), separated by a sizable lawn with a handmade custom steel fire ring, and room to set up any lawn games or activities you might bring with you. The groundskeeper/caretaker/super/engineer who designed the water system and finished the cabin currently occupies the main house with his family. He is available for any questions, concerns or problems that may arise in the cabin or on the property, and can point you to local hiking/running areas. He also can give you the coordinates to get to a few of the local fresh water springs, where you can collect your own spring water.
Wi-Fi is available on the property closer to the main house near the parking area. We are currently working to improve accessibility and hope to resolve it by the time you book. Cell service (depending on your carrier) is spotty due to the topography of the area, but you can take a quick drive down the road to what we call the “phone booth” (the parking lot of the DPW) and get great service.
Right down the road, check to see if the “FRESH EGGS” sign is up and if there are any eggs available in the cooler. There is a $3 charge per dozen for the eggs and it’s honor system. You might see the chickens running around the driveway making sure they are earning their cash.
Just one exit away, (about 7 miles) is the town of Hancock, dubbed, “The Gateway to the Upper Delaware.” You’ll have access to gas, groceries and libations, or grab a drink and dinner at the Hancock House Hotel, Little Italy, or the Circle E Diner, which serves some of the best pie in town! (Apple, Apple Upside Down, Chocolate Cream, Coconut Custard…). In Hancock you will also find kayak rentals with shuttle service, and the highway that will take you on a scenic drive to the Zane Roebling Bridge. The French Woods Golf course is about a 20 minute drive from Fishs Eddy. If you’re in the mood for a longer drive, just under and hour, you can ride into Binghamton and check out the historic district, or just get some needed shopping done at the big box stores available.
