This was our first time staying with Postcard Cabins, and it was everything I expected and more! My boyfriend and I drove up from PA for a surprise birthday trip, and my boyfriend had no clue where we were going. The moment we pulled up he was in awe and eternally grateful to see the cabins are fitted with A/C. I was immediately impressed with the warm ambiance of the strung Edison light bulbs, hanging above our picnic table, as well as the cozy fire pit and hammock nearby. They were exactly the intimate touches I wanted and worth the extra money. It was so thoughtful how the hammock was flipped over, so it wouldn’t get covered in falling debris.
Self checkin was effortless, especially since the door code was my birthday! Not sure if that was coincidence or by design, but either way it was effortless. The moment we entered the cabin, my boyfriend was instantly blown away. His reaction was reminiscent of a child at Christmas commenting, “This is awesome!” Immediately we were taken with a spectacular grand window looking out at nature, fluffy queen size bed, free Wi-Fi, the small kitchen stacked with all the plates, pans and instruments one might need, including complementary hot chocolate, coffee, and a pack of the most delicious s’more’s I’ve ever tasted! There’s even a thoughtful little prepackaged sponge with dish soap above the sink, and below the sink was a giant roll of foil, small dustpan and broom, an extra paper towels.
In the bathroom, we were impressed by the Kohler toilet, stainless steel shower fitted with body wash, shampoo, and conditioner, as well as extra towels, so don’t bring your own. Upon checking out, I accidentally turned on the heat, and the cabin warmed up nicely in seconds. This cabin would make for an amazing winter vacation as well.
If you plan on driving to nearby Kaaterskill Falls, it’s a bit of a drive but well worth it! When we drove there the first parking lot was full, but if you continue driving down the road, there’s a second parking lot called Scutt available. From there you can take a hiking trail to view the colossal Kaaterskill Falls. You may be left sweating from the hike, but the sensational views and cool breeze will be worth it. If you’re feeling extra daring, you can bring your bathing suit and go for a dip in the pool at the bottom of the falls.
Through Postcard Cabins, everything was so thoughtfully planned out to the tiniest detail, and it really makes for a turn-key vacation. All you really need to bring are a change of clothes, because there’s even a well stocked grocery store nine minutes away. And if you have any questions, a customer service representative is in constant communication with you via text or call. Our representative Lee, was most helpful in assisting us with our quality and complimentary fire wood! All in all, we would highly recommend Postcard Cabins, and I’m already planning next years return trip!
