Tucked away in the serene and tranquil countryside of Willet, New York, this charming off grid cabin is a not just a getaway into nature but a real immersion on 17 lightly wooded acres of a private estate. Made in 2010 from the wood fetched from the very site, the cabin speaks of old time, hand made craftsmanship and down to earth living, a haven where the hustle and bustle of today’s world distract less and the wonders of the great outdoors delight you more. What is more, the cabin’s secluded location set back 100’s feet from the road means that you’ll have your privacy 100%, while the only ‘noise’ will be the sounds of the creek water flowing and the leaves rustling.
The cabin, you’d have to agree, is a darling in a forest setting. The thick log walls of the cabin, made exclusively from timber of the local trees, have obtained an attractive weathered golden hue which is one with the colors of nature.
The porch that runs along the whole front offers you the best place to sit and watch the animals and birds come out and go about their daily business, or just hear the Landers Creek’s gentle flowing that meanders through the property. This cabin has been taking nature and nature alone for company, surrounded by mature trees and open woods that combine to give complete privacy and tranquility.
Come in, and it’s the cabin that will first draw you into its warm, inviting atmosphere marked by its down to earth features. The space overlooks woods through large windows and has interior finishing in natural wood which are lit by the daylight and highlight the innate beauty of the material thus creating a cosy and welcoming environment. The party bar is a great addition to the completed kitchen, intending the space not only for the preparation of food but being a place where friends can come together after a day of activities. The simplicity combined with the aesthetics cabin was built around the idea of guest’s comfort and relaxation without complicating things that’s how the cabin became the perfect place to experience wellness slow living, enjoy beautiful nature, sleep well, and greet a new day willing and full of energy.
The kitchen was born from the union of beauty and functionality. The design considered a low impact on the environment thus giving it a feature of a wide, open plan space with only the necessary items for making your stays more comfortable and organized. You won’t have to force yourself to feel at home when preparing or enjoying a meal in such a setting i.e.the kitchen combined with the dining room because the layout of the cabin permits dinning and cooking to occupy the two functions and still be on the same wavelength and have a fun time.
The bedrooms are two in number and excellently made with rustic charm of people’s needs for positive feelings towards sleep rest, relaxation, rejuvenation at a time, focus, and elimination of distractions. Every detail in the room has been purposely designed to pamper the occupants and provide fully comfortable nights. The warm color of the wood walls and the peaceful surrounding found here make this the right place to come back to after long days of the property exploration.
The bathroom is well thought out with a shower and a modern composting system but what really stands out is the idea of the cabin being not only low maintenance but also almost self sufficient in that it uses generator power and water brought in as needed. The outside toilet is located near the house but separated from it, so it does not quite intrude into the living area.
The cabin justifies its concept when you decide to spend your day outdoors. You will soon find that the morning coffee and evening chill out times on the porch give you a different story, especially if you adore nature and like to watch the creek and the forest. The land is loaded with opportunities for various activities such as hiking, spotting wildlife, or just walking through the forest. The cabin is situated in such a way that it opens up the great and spacious hunting and fishing opportunities that you may enjoy on the nearby state lands, rivers, and lakes which offer adventure without boundaries.

Being not far from the highways, the places offer services within the reach though the main attraction is here and in the solitude of this property. To most people, this cabin would seem like a perfect spot for each season of the year, but it is also compatible with the wildflowers of spring, the green hills of summer, the splendid foliage of autumn, and the winter’s snow covered silence, being the warmth inside the cabin to the contrast of outside.
