Our stay at the Batavia Creek Cabin was wonderful. Mary was quick to respond to any questions, all the kitchen supplies you could ever need were provided. Our dogs loved the creek, and we really enjoyed watching deer from the porch while we drank coffee. It was very peaceful, clean and cozy. The surplus of board games was amazing. The wood was dry for fires and it was overall a great stay.

We loved this place! The deck , the view , the house all great!! The bathroom is so big and modern. There are dressers and closets in every bedroom to put clothes away. Plenty of towels and extra blankets. The living room is bright with natural sunlight and you can see the view of the mountains from the couch. There is a large table outside to eat at on the deck. Everything very clean and neat and organized. Plus great hiking trails are only a short distance away. Under 1/2 hour to Slide Mountain , Giant Ledge and more.

I’m not kidding when I say this place is a true oasis, an absolute gem in the Catskills. Lots of outdoor space and the creek nearby- we enjoyed watching so many deer run through the field across from us. Also the friendliest hosts - great communication, checking in frequently to make sure we were set with everything we need, and even a cute welcome note waiting for us upon arrival. We were just so happy to be there in this space and very sad to leave to go back to work. Would HIGHLY recommend and would definitely return!

Just a 10/10 here. It’s such a peaceful spot and we had a great time. Especially an evening out on the decking barbecuing and then lighting the fire down by the river. Amazing place

This is a wonderful, secluded cabin that’s easy to get to. The space is beautiful and peaceful, the check-in was simple and the hosts are pros and know what they’re doing and you can see that from all of the special touches. Definitely recommend.

We had an incredible time at the Batavia Creek Cabin. It was super clean and cozy with pristine views of the surrounding Catskill wilderness. The stream running through the property was calming and peaceful. It was the perfect getaway for our stay and a much needed respite from the weekend activities at Mountain Jam!

My fiancé, our dog and I spent a long weekend at the Batavia Creek Cabin, and it was nothing short of perfect. The cabin was even more stunning than the photos, with a peaceful ambiance that made it feel like a true escape from the city — the sound of the creek flowing was by far our favorite. Every detail was thoughtfully curated, and it had everything we could have asked for and more. We loved our stay and can’t wait to return!

Daniel's cabin was lovely. Fantastic views, clean and cozy accommodations. We loved spending some time outside near the creek - so peaceful. Daniel was also super welcoming and communicative. Lovely stay!

Blissful stay for our parents' anniversary. We tried to make use of every single amenity - firepit, outside dining, porch chairs, etc. But the absolute top amenity were the views and peace and quiet. Thanks so much for an amazing stay.

Thank you to the hosts for their wonderfully responsive and genuinely helpful demeanor! We spent the weekend here with our family to celebrate our elopement, and it truly was the perfect private oasis for us to relax and connect together. The location was exactly as described, and the surroundings are simply beautiful. We did experience a storm during our stay that caused a power outage for a day, but the hosts went above and beyond, offering a discount even though they couldn’t control the situation. Thank you once again for making our stay so memorable!
