Private and Artistic cabin, Pet friendly, no cleaning fee

In this current time of concern over the Covid-19 coronavirus, I would like to assure all my up coming and future guests that every effort is taken to thoroughly clean and disinfect the entire cabin between guests. I have also decided to block of a couple of days between guests (sometimes that actually turns into multiple days based upon reservations) to futher mitigate any possible transmission of germs. Also understand that the cabin is private and located away from other people in a township with a small population.
Due to a recent question, I would like to make it clear at the start (even though this information is elsewhere in the listing), that the cabin can comfortably sleep 7 if the configuration of single and double beds is fully utilized, and a few more could be squeezed in if the couches and roll away cot are used, BUT my prices are based upon a 4 guest maximum with an additional charge of $35 per person per night over the 4. Now on with the listing:

ARTISTIC LOG CABIN, private and peaceful. Set into a perfect homestead property with fruit trees, berries, gardens and naturally terraced terrain. With woods and old pastures all around, the birds will herald the morning sunrise. Beautiful views from the numerous windows and porch around two sides of house; also, a large slate patio that is perfect for cook outs. Fully appointed kitchen with dishwasher, microwave and two ovens. Cabin accomodates up to 7 people, master bedroom with private bathroom, second bedroom has one double bed, one single and another single in bedroom loft (which kids LOVE). The sunroom has two couches that double as beds. The bedrooms and two bathrooms are upstairs, one bathroom is on the first floor. The cabin is owner built from mostly reused or local materials found in surrounding woods. Each bathroom is a unique work of art and you have never seen a fireplace like this one! The cabin is meant to be an example of how a beautiful, comfortable and functional house can be built for a fraction of the cost using your imagination. $200 per night, 2 night minimum based on up to 4 guests, additional guest $35 each per night.
The cabin is artistic and rustic in nature and in order to appeal to those ideals certain safety considerations are not present in terms of railing heights and spacing, steps inside and out are irregular, balconies inside and out, patios and porches as well as surrounding terrain are all organic and not young child safe. Please consider this when planning a trip with young children and feel free to ask for more details.

ALSO AVAILABLE for VACATION RENTAL: Treehouse compound. Two treehouses (one two story, one three story), cooking/eating pavilion, outside shower and firepit. Sleeps 11 total in warmest part of summer (5 in cooler months on either end), very cool! type in 802728 in the "search for" bar to find it on this site.

amazing whimsical cabin
We loved staying at this cabin. The details are so beautiful. The cabin is charming and has a lovely view. It wasn't hard to get to, but it was perfectly secluded. I'm so glad we stayed here and if we come back to the area, we are definitely going to stay here again.

Cool nature-thematic cabin
The house is very cool with nature themed thing incorporated into the features like a cave bath and a "tree house" bed loft you get to by climbing a branch ladder. You can tell the owner put a lot of care and effort into the place, he is a very nice and friendly person who offered us bread and eggs from his farm.

Wonderful week in Vermont
My wife and I have been coming to Rik's cabin annually since 2016. The cabin has everything you could need, and it was such a relaxing trip. Our dogs loved hiking though the snow, and we would sit by the fire every night. Thanks for everything, Rik!

Cabin stay
This is the place you'll want to stay in if you're interested in touring the nearby cities. It is serene and you're surrounded by nature. I cannot express how fresh the air is in the morning; it's quite something else to be breathing it in first thing after you wake up!

Magical, quiet woods retreat
We had a great stay at this cabin and the property. It's everything the write up says and then some. The owner is a true craftsman with an eye for creativity and for bringing the outside in. I wish I had taken a photo of my review that I left him handwritten in his leather bound book to share with you here. He has thought of everything to provide a peaceful, calm and tranquil getaway. There is so much wildlife to be seen and heard. The cabin is rustic and gave me Hobbit and fairytale vibes. We absolutely loved it and our 7 year old son Elliott gave it a 15 out of 10, ha!

Magical Stay
Even though it was a rainy Vermont weekend we still had an absolute wonderful time at this beautifully crafted home, it's like staying in a story book the pictures do not do it justice, the home itself is ecofriendly which I appreciated, but did not skimp on luxury, each room makes you feel like a kid again and are living in an artists treehouse. Views from all windows are stunning, walks around the property as well. There's lots to do locally from hikes to skiing, but we really never wanted to leave. Thank you Rik!!

Quiet, wooded, serene cabin. Our daughter loved the loft, a little “tween” hangout. Nicely appointed kitchen, one of a kind bathrooms. Nice place to disconnect from the buzz of the everyday world.

Rik's cabin is nothing short of perfect. Nestled on 85+ acres of the Vermont countryside, the property is like a fairy tale land brought to life - treehouses, a hobbit house, and even a dragon chimney! It's magical. We spent our days exploring the property, sitting by the fire, and just disconnecting from our busy lives. My only complaint is that we didn't stay longer. Thanks to Rik for making us feel welcome and being an attentive host! We'll definitely see you again soon.

Rik is a great host, we were greeted by freshly baked rosemary bread, which we enjoyed all weekend. The Logcabin was more than unique, always finding something new as we navigated around. The tree houses on the property were also pretty cool to take a look at. Will definitely come back again.

Magical Getaway
There's not much more to add to the other reviews except for the advice to definitely check out all four bathrooms in the cabin - the one on the bottom floor has a hand-made rock grotto which is a fairyland place to take a bath! Also, Rik's treehouses are so imaginative and are not to be missed. Very quiet and private location to relax and revive.

Much needed R and R
Rik was a fabulous host. He was unable to meet us upon arrival but Teri did. She showed us all we needed to know about the house and was so nice. We were welcomed with fresh eggs , fruit and some delicious bread. The cabin was very comfortable, clean and homey. You have to love the water fall and rock shower. So many nice details and craftsman details all about the cabin. I am looking forward to booking again in autumn. I’m sure the foliage will be beautiful.

Like all the other guests, we were blown away by the amazing bread and fresh eggs Rik left us. The house is a habitable work of art, with beautiful, creative features everywhere you look. The grounds are likewise a treasure trove of thoughtful, lovely outdoor spaces to relax and play. We will definitely be back soon. It’s the best rental we’ve ever visited.
