Please note there is very poor mobile phone reception at the cabin and typically reception picks up just down the road. There is WiFi provided via internet satellite dish service due to poor coverage in the area.

We recommend having a car to utilize all that the surrounding area has to offer however rideshare is typically available at the above train stations and cost roughly $20-30.

Other things to note
This unique twelve-sided, two bedroom, one bathroom, fully-equipped cabin is located in Orange County, NY. Within 30 minutes of driving you will find lakes, amazing hikes, and a few local wineries. There is a gokart & motorcycle racing facility just down the main road. Driving for about 15-25 minutes you can explore the infamous Delaware Water Gap, Pocono Mountains, Middletown, and Port Jervis just to name a few local destinations.
Please also note that there is wildlife in the area including deer, groundhogs, rabbits, and the occasional black bear, snake, or skunk. For this reason we ask you kindly refrain from leaving food outdoors unattended and keep tidy inside the cabin.
One thing to keep in mind is that many things in Cuddebackville close relatively early and the grocery stores and restaurants are 15-30 mins drive. There is limited food delivery within the community. The nearest location to find fresh groceries is the Dollar General located on Route 209 only 7 minutes drive from the cabin and you may find a gas station just past the Dollar General.
