This is an original Lincoln Logs home, nestled in two and a half acres of private woodland, with 100 feet of lake frontage. No noisy motorboats at this end of the lake, just lots of wildlife and an occasional canoe or kayak. A hand crafted canoe is ready for your enjoyment, as well as 3 kayaks. Very private property with almost anything you may need provided down by the water, including an outdoor screen with projector and a dock for launching the canoe and kayaks. Check out the pictures!

Cabin sleeps five, with a queen bed in the master bedroom on main floor, a double log bed and a queen bed in the loft, as well as a twin rollaway in walk in closet. The bathroom is off the spacious den. There can be air in the master bedroom during heat spells. Normally the cabin stays quite cool by following a few easy tips. Please help yourselves to the well stocked kitchen and linens. A brand new gas stove is in kitchen. Large TV in the den with lots of movies to watch. Two twelve by twelve foot Gazeboes right on the water with a stocked fire pit and hammocks nearby. Electricity, WIFI, refrigerator and rain barrel all conveniently located.

Beautiful property in stunning location
We had such a lovely time here as a family. The house is great, spotless and has absolutely everything you could possibly ever need. The kitchen is really well stocked with more than just essentials. The location is just amazing. We used the canoe and the kayaks to paddle to an island in the big lake to go swimming. Idyllic! And if you plan to do a bit of work or have teenagers, the wifi is super fast! John was so helpful - he answered all our queries quickly

Great place to relax and unwind.
We had lovely stay between Christmas and New Years. The cabin was decorated for the holidays, including personalized Christmas stockings for my three children filled with gifts. My kids are already asking when they can go back! The cabin is set back off the road leaving it very quiet, peaceful and secluded. John was very accommodating and the cabin is equipped with everything you could need for an enjoyable stay!

We enjoyed our stay and found the home to be very welcoming with lots of amenities. The home was clean and the kitchen was well stocked to meet our cooking needs. We enjoyed sitting by the fireplace on the cold and rainy days. We would have used more of the outside amenities if the weather was better. We would definitely go back there.

Perfect weekend get away with family
My family and I had an amazing time for a nice weekend getaway at John’s cabin. The cabin was beautiful and very welcoming. There was everything you would need to have a comfortable stay. The lake side amenities made they stay even better. Spent the two days down by and on the water making family memories.

About the host

Hosted by John Allen

Host profile image
My late wife Jill and I built this cabin in 2009 with her family's log chalet (in the Adirondacks) in mind. We were married 23 wonderful years and for many of them we ran a small Bed-N-Breakfast in Pittsfield named "The American House". For most of my career I have been a Chef in the Berkshires but I now work part time in the area during my recent retirement. I look forward to helping you have the time of your life here!
