50mi from Rotterdam · 1 site · Lodging · East Meredith, NYWelcome to The Cabin at Jack’s Hill - a simple, serene, low grid cabin far away from it all.
This seasonal, cozy cabin is ideal for small groups to enjoy the splendor of the Western Catskills. Here you can connect with nature on six lovely acres perfect for star gazing.
Gather round the firepit or cozy up on the covered deck while watching the fireflies. Inside this unassuming one room cabin is a full size stove, fridge, sink, and dining table. Enjoy a restful, quiet sleep on the plush Queen bed fitted with luxurious bamboo sheets. An additional pillow topped Queen bed is available in the sleeper sofa making this the quintessential spot for up to four guests.
Our cabin is remote yet close to many nearby attractions including hiking, skiing, public access fishing along the Delaware, shopping, dining, adventure, and more. As this is a low grid, ecologically minded property it is important to note the following:
* There is no running water available, washing water and drinking water are provided.
* A clean outhouse is provided with a composting toilet.
* We provide an outdoor shower during the warmer months only. The shower utilizes non potable rain water and the amount of water available is dependent on the weather. A mini electric hot water heater will provide roughly 5-8 minutes of use.
* A woodstove with an automatic damper is the only source of heating in the cabin and requires an understanding of how to use it effectively. Guests will be provided an informational video of how to build a fire as well as the operation manual from the manufacturer. Guests should arrive accordingly as it may take time to warm the cabin.
* A window A/C unit is provided in the summer months.
* You will be residing in an area backing up to woods and next to open fields. As such you may encounter various wildlife like: insects, spiders, raccoons, birds, bees, mice, voles, chipmunks , squirrels, skunks, foxes, deer, coyotes, groundhogs, wild turkey, quail, and more. If you are squeamish about any wildlife encounters during your stay this is not the place for you.
These creatures reside in nature and we have no control over them. We do not provide any refund if you encounter wildlife during your stay.
