Highlights: Adorable updated cabin near trails, hiking, and skiing. Great kitchen, and a living room with fireplace and projector. Cozy nooks and sitting areas - a book lovers dream!
Welcome to Library Lodge, your charming retreat tucked into the enchanting woods of Stone Ridge. As winter’s chill or fall’s crisp air settles in, this cozy log cabin becomes your warm haven—a place to relax, recharge, and create memories. Imagine evenings by the fire, wrapped in a soft throw as snow blankets the landscape outside. The scent of cinnamon and pine fills the air, inviting you to unwind and savor the simple joys of a quiet escape.
Blending rustic charm with modern comfort, the spacious rooms and intimate nooks beckon you to curl up with a good book or share heartfelt conversations. Antique furnishings, hygge-inspired bathrooms, and a wood stove create a warm, inviting atmosphere. Start your mornings in the large kitchen with a cup of coffee, then gather around the long dining table for hearty breakfasts or planning adventures to nearby trails and towns. The living room’s cozy seating and fireplace offer the perfect spot for evening movies or quiet reflection.
Step outside to the screened porch or deck, where the crisp air or winter starlight creates a magical backdrop for outdoor dinners or wildlife watching. During snowy days, the outdoor space transforms into a winter wonderland, perfect for snowball fights or star-gazing.
Upstairs, each of the three roomy bedrooms offers a peaceful sanctuary, with soft bedding and inviting seating areas to unwind after a day of exploring. The shared bathroom adds a warm touch, making every morning a treat. With thoughtful amenities and pet-friendly options, Library Lodge ensures a joyful, stress-free stay for all.
Like all Upstate Place properties, this home has a pack n’ play, highchair, baby bath etc. available to make even the smallest guest’s stay welcoming and easy.
Library Lodge would ideally suit a family or group of friends vacationing together.

PLEASE NOTE -
Cancellation and Insurance: We encourage all our guests to purchase travel insurance, whether through the OTA when offered at the time of booking, or through a third party. We cannot make any exceptions to our cancellation policy.
Utility Outages: As Upstate New York can see its’ fair share of inclement weather and is primarily a tree rich area with overhead power lines, please know we do not assume responsibility for utility outages during your stay. If electric, water or Wi-Fi service is impacted, we do not refund. Of course, if an outage were to persist for longer than 8 hours we would allow a cancellation without penalty.
Weather: During the winter months, there may be ice, snow, and hazardous conditions. We recommend driving a vehicle with AWD or 4WD. Please ask about the plowing schedule for the house. Most driveways are plowed at or before 3” of accumulation.
Animals and Pests: The house is in a rural environment and surrounded by countryside, farms and wildlife. Although it’s wonderful to observe the eagles, deer, bears, and adorable chipmunks, it can also mean you will hear coyotes and foxes at night, and encounter the less cute mice, flies, snakes, ants, bees and ticks. There is very little to be done about it, but by keeping doors closed or screened and food in its appropriate storage, unwelcome guests will stay outside where they belong. All our properties benefit from scheduled pest control, but we are in a natural environment and we can not fortify the houses completely.
Cleaning Guarantee: We are very proud of our housekeeping team who go above and beyond. Because of their hard work and high professional standards, we are able to guarantee our cleaning to our guests. We take time stamped video and photos of the cleaned property and do not refund for any small issues found during a stay. Instead, should a guest feel that something is amiss or needs additional attention, we will gladly have a housekeeper attend the home to take care of it within 12 hours of an issue being reported.
This home may have weekly lawn and trash services as well as monthly pest control service. Service providers may access the exterior front yard and back yard during your stay to ensure the home is properly maintained.
Rental Agreement: Please know that we require all guests to sign a rental lease agreement.
Pets: This property only allows dogs.
This house has two levels and may not be suitable for guests who don’t wish to use stairs.
Additional Fees: Depending on their requirements, guests will be subject to the following additional fees
Dog Fees - $100 per pet per stay
Please respect all house rules listed in the guidebook provided, as well as the privacy of this quiet community.
