LIVE IN NATURE - WALK TO TOWN- CHILDREN LOVE US- SIT BY THE CAMP FIRE

Nice, open layout. While we didn't have a chance to hike, the property was located in a beautiful, rural setting, yet very close to town. We felt comfortable walking into town even at night.

Great place and people. Would definitely stay again.

Cozy and clean, lots of light inside, nice walking paths on the property and close to hiking trails.

Very nice cabin. We loved its location: we could walk (with flashlight in the night) or drive to the center of Woodstock. We also enjoyed our short exploration of the surrounding land. The night sky there was very dark, so it was great for stargazing too.

We found the property be a peaceful and restful place. Loved the setting in the woods.

Our stay was awesome. Property was exactly as advertised. Would highly recommend. Host was easily contacted. Cottage was clean and had everything we needed. Accessibility to town was definitely walkable. We enjoyed walking the property with its beautiful waterfall. Absolutely positive experience!

We arrived in the dark, and it was quite daunting to navigate the forestry off Orchard and Pike Lanes - bear in mind we're UK city people from a land where there are no bears, snakes, possums, etc etc, so our 19 and 15 y/o kids were already on the lookout for grizzlies by our third traverse of the area. Also bear 8-) in mind we have NO cicadas in the UK - none - so the evening cricket noises were slightly overwhelming to us. The lesson is - arrive in the daytime. I know Woodstock pretty well but Pike Lane was new to me. In the morning all was revealed to be very pretty, and only a short wander to Tinker Street. The cabin is rustic/charming but well equipped, with decent AC, a good selection of kitchen stuff, and it's nicely set off by the wooden beams and floors. Darin is a lovely chap and his dog was woofly friendly, even for a non-animal family like ours. I wandered the grounds a bit, although my kids were still convinced there were lions, tigers, etc, but didn't get too far in. It's a work in progress and I like the philosophy of sustainability and eco-friendliness Darin and family are working towards. Woodstock of course is as lovely as ever, and even if you don't want to walk the road to the village it's a 3 min drive, and parking on Tinker St and Mill Hill Rd is free and plentiful. Go and discover Woodstock for yourself and you won't be disappointed. Onto the 'even better ifs' - and our feedback is given in the spirit of positivity, not criticism. Both beds need replacing - no arguement there - and a bed investment will make a huge difference to overall comfort. The overbath shower in the bathroom is shared with lots of incie wincie spiders - yeah I know it's in the woods and there are spiders, but less wood cladding and more tiling could prevent them, and just feel fresher. The bathroom sink plug hole doesn't drain for ages, so you think you're about to flood the basin - an easy replacement. Outside night-time visibility is low, even with the fairy lights in the porch, so automatic lights on arrival would be useful. The porch could do with a spruce-up too. Pike Lane Cabin is what it sets out to be - a pretty, rustic retreat - and if you're expecting suburban delights then you've come to the wrong place. The things we've mentioned would have made our stay better, but you won't be disappointed - if you're nature people and don't mind a bit of earthiness then you'll enjoy your stay. We're not, and we still did!

The cabin was perfect for me and my two girlfriends who were up for a long weekend. Had complete privacy and really enjoyed our stay.

We love the cabin. The place is clean, quiet and beautiful, the host is very friendly.

The cottage was spacious, well stocked with a fresh, clean, airy feeling deep in the woods, nestled among wildlife with a serene stream nearby and two minute walk to Tinker Street. Darrin a and Roger made us feel welcome and we will definitely visit again!

First time visiting Woodstock and we wanted to stay in a cabin. Darin's place really exceeded our expectations--yes, it really looks better in person! It's very modern, cozy, bright, and beautiful. The property is in the middle of construction, but this did not bother us and it still was fun to walk around and explore the woods. Darin was a wonderful and helpful host, we had to change our reservation dates and he got back to us quickly. When we got to the property, he greeted us and gave us a quick introduction to the place along with a few suggestions of what to do in town. We really appreciated it! Our stay there was simply breathtaking. Just what we wanted, nature, quiet at night, and birdsong in the morning. It's also a nice, short scenic walk to the village. We wished we could have stayed for longer than two days, and because we liked it so much, we're probably going to consider coming back in the future. Big shoutout to Darin for having us!
