We're a young family (two adults + 18-month-old) who are open to sharing our upstate cabin in two ways — rent it fully on your own terms, or share it with us on a bi-weekly rotation. Either way, this is a genuine city escape with a lot of heart put into every corner of it.
Option A — Full rental: $3,300/month, utilities included. Have the whole place to yourself. One year commitment.
Option B — Home-share: $2,300/month, utilities included. We alternate every two weeks and are totally flexible on how we structure the sharing month to month. A great fit for another family, a couple, or anyone who loves the outdoors and wants a beautiful base upstate. Open to month to month or longer term.
We're looking for someone to start as soon as possible, but open to the right fit and flexible on timing.
✦ The home — Trappers Keep
Perfectly tucked away up a magical driveway, Trappers Keep is a cabin in the woods surrounded by nature. We're far from the noise but close to everything worth exploring — antique stores, small towns, outdoor activities across the river in Hancock, NY. Only 2 hours from the GWB.
The living room is clad floor to ceiling in knotty pine with vaulted beamed ceilings, a large brick fireplace, big windows, and lots of natural light. The dining table — live edge walnut, seats 8- is made for long dinners with good people.
Upstairs, two king bedrooms each open onto their own private terrace (perfect for star gazing or sunset cocktails). They share a large primary bath with rainfall shower. Downstairs, a third bedroom with a full bed catches a beautiful sunset view, next to the first-floor bathroom with a tub.
Outside: fire pit, hammock, 6 Adirondack chairs, outdoor dining table, and a gas grill. A single kayak is on-site and yours to use.
✦ What's included
- 10 acres of land
- Starlink wifi
- Fully equipped kitchen (Breville espresso machine, French press, coffee grinder, tons of cookware)
- Full surround sound + Bluetooth
- Philips Wiz color-changing, dimmable lighting throughout
- Board games
- Partially baby-proofed with essentials: high chair, bassinet, tub, baby gates, plates & utensils.
✦ Good to know
No central AC, but the house stays genuinely cool in summer thanks to elevation and good airflow — fans in every room. All rooms have individual heat control.
We have dogs and are open to fellow dog owners on a case-by-case basis.
We're looking for someone to start as soon as possible, but open to working around the right fit. If this sounds like your kind of escape, reach out — we'd love to meet you.
📍 10 min to Hancock village · 24 min to French Woods · Lots of hiking, fishing & small-town exploring nearby
My partner and I desgined this home with a lot of love, and it's become our favorite escape from the city. We'd love to share it with someone who appreciates nature and wants a place that truly feels like a retreat.
