River, stream, or creek cabins near Cooperstown

The service they provide at the price they provided is simply unbelievable. Love Bethany and Amy. Such great people!

4 nights at Red Rock Off-Grid Cabin

Everything was amazing. We woke up to snow and it was beautiful. The views are great and the cabin was everything we needed.

Needed to unplug from the world and got just that. Cabin was relentlessly simple. I decided to come during the colder season so I brought a long a buddy heater. Cabin is comfortable, slept like a baby in the bed, sounds of the nearby stream, occasional car driving, very private, 5 minutes from all amenities in the town. Surrounded by mountains. For me 10/10

Weekend Trip to Red Rock Off-Grid Cabin

Sam’s land was great the shelter was definitely cozy and the pictures did it justice! We had some meh weather and were still able to enjoy nature, with the weather just starting to warm up we still had to bring a heater but the cabin held the heat pretty well! Nice and private although there was a neighboring house nearby. Easy access would definitely come here again!

Weekend Trip to The Scandinavian Staycation Cabin

We had a beautiful long weekend at the Scandinavian Staycation Cabin with our friends and dog. Everything in the home was arranged to be easy to find, clean, and comfortable, and the owner provided clear and helpful instructions for everything we needed. It was a lovely stay and we can’t wait to book another visit!

Nice cozy cabin and a great getaway spot not too far away from the city. Will definitely go back when it gets warmer :)

We loved our stay! It was peaceful and relaxing. We enjoying the adventure of hiking down to the falls and exploring. The local cat was very friendly and kept us company which was an unexpected perk! We highly recommended this spot and hope to return.

Lovely place with absolutely extraordinary surroundings, host shared all the amazing local spots we need! Hike trail with tremendous views, lovely town, beautiful waterfall.

I loved the camping area, the place was clean and tidy. It’s best place to visit during summer, winter, rainy no matter what. It has beautiful places near by to visit as well. If u loving hiking u would love at peak. The host is so welcoming, she in fact offered us to stay way longer for the day as well. I can undoubtedly say it’s my best camping site so far.

This was a beautiful weekend getaway, and we absolutely plan to return in the summer! The cabin stayed nice and warm for the temps in the 30's with the oil heater and warm blankets we brought from home. The cabins are just off a main road but the noise of other cars was minimal. The hike to the waterfall had a rope along the steep parts that made getting down and up much safer! It is still possible to get to the beautiful falls in the winter however my below the knee muck boots were not long enough for the river crossing, so come prepared! To get close to the waterfall there is also a few logs you must walk across over deep water, they were stable but not sturdy however with the help of a long walking stick we were able to cross over no problem! The walk was incredibly short as well, maybe 5 mins total. There was a partition between us and the other cabin so we felt we had privacy even though the cabins were not very far from one another.

Beautiful little modern cabin at the forest edge with private fire pit. Strong lights illuminated the porch to welcome our evening arrival.

Weekend Trip to Red Rock Off-Grid Cabin

We had an awesome stay! The property is beautiful, the cabin was quaint and perfect. We had a wonderful time and cannot wait to return in the summer.

Red Rock Cabin was a very quiet, peaceful getaway for us. We loved that we didn't even hear any background noises, except for the very occasional car on the road. Instead we heard cows.

Sacred Waterfall & Quiet Camping

NOTE: THIS IS A QUIET CAMPING AREA for reconnecting with nature. Not suitable for parties or loud groups. For generations, the majestic waterfall has been revered for its spectacular beauty and power. It is considered a sacred site that has been central to local land rematriation work with the Kanienkeha:ka, also known as the Mohawks, the original inhabitants of the Schoharie Valley. Coursing between two outcroppings in a deep ravine, Kahonrakén:ra Waterfall crashes down over mossy rock shelves into a hidden pool, which then empties again into the river, running into emerald swimming holes and through dramatic clay beds. The effect is transporting. Truly, it is one of those extraordinarily beautiful spots on earth that makes you feel like you are in another world. There are two tiny cabins on the property. They are both accessed by separate footpaths through the forest, below an old red barn, surrounded by ash and walnut trees, singing birds, deer, wildflowers, and wild medicines. One cabin is in the forest, just beyond a grass circle clearing. The other is down the hill through a wildflower grove. Both sites have extra space to set up a tent if needed. The Forest Cabin is insulated with hemp, has electric lights and outlets, is bigger inside with a work desk, has Anderson crank out windows, has a bigger deck, and has two twin mattresses under the bed if you need them. The Wildflower Cabin is a bit deeper in the forest, a little smaller, uninsulated with two walls of old-school wood-pane windows that open out to the forest completely, one twin mattress under the bed and a powerstrip for light electric use. Both sites have private fire pits, solar shower stalls, fans for cooling and an oil filled electric heater for chilly nights. We do not allow partying. There is a profound healing process happening at the waterfall. At the request of the original caretakers, we ask that you to respect the sacredness of this land. Thank you! It's about a 10 minute hike down the gorge to the waterfall from the campsites. Each campsite has a private path down to the waterfall, where you can spend the day swimming, exploring the clay beds and looking for fossils in the 280 million year old gorge. In the evening, make a campfire at your fire pit and fall asleep under the stars listening to the waterfall and the river below. Be aware that the hike is steep and appropriate footwear is required. All hiking is at your own risk. Although your path to the waterfall is private and the waterfall is on private property, there may be other guests or locals that access the waterfall further down the road. There is no glass or alcohol allowed at the falls. Please be aware that you may hear your camping neighbors in the woods. For this reason, we ask that you don’t play amplified music and to keep noise down after 10pm so that your camping and local neighbors can chillax and enjoy the evening sounds of frogs, crickets, owls, and night songs of the countryside that makes Schoharie so special. In the big red barn at the entrance to the campsites there is a community room with a charging station, cold water sink, mini fridge, coffee maker, grills, and a port-a-potty for your use. There are also 5 gallon solar shower bags that you can use at your campsite. You are responsible for filling them and putting them in the sun to heat the water. :) This is a leave no trace campsite. Please take all your trash with you when you leave. And please bring your own biodegradable soap for dishes and toilet paper for the port-a-potty! Firewood is available onsite for $1 per log. Instructions for payment are in the community room next to the red silo at the barn. The wood is stacked at next to the red shed just uphill from the barn. You can also buy your own fire wood en route. We recommend that you buy kindling at the gas station on your way in. The Schoharie Valley is said to be the most fertile valley east of the Mississippi. It is still wild, unspoiled country and there are many local farms with fresh produce and organic meat within 5 miles of the house. There are several farm stands and a general store a few miles away, Scrumpy Ewe Cidery, Panther Creek Arts, and the Sap Bush Country Store and Café just up the hill in West Fulton. Mustang Valley, a wild mustang sanctuary and rescue center, is just down the road. Nearby hikes include Looking Glass Pond and Vroman's Nose, among many others.
