The space is beautiful for doing photo shoots... so versatile, with gorgeous natural textures. It is a classy spot and the outdoors provides an endless array of natural beauty. I am thrilled with the shots we were able to get on our shoot!

WOW! What a special property! Dreamy cabin vibes + the secluded woodland was exactly what we were looking for and it suited our project perfectly. Conveniently located near NYC, we were able to get the shots we needed in no time! Gina accommodated our large crew with no problems and was super helpful! The crew even took a dip in the lake after we wrapped. I could not ask for a better location!

This space exceeded all of my expectations! Not only was the host super sweet and accommodating, they were also extremely helpful with recommendations to make my event a success! The cabin was gorgeous and the grounds make you feel like you're in your own little world in the middle of the woods. Not too far of a walk away is a beautiful lake where you can hop on a kayak and disconnect for a little while. It encompassed all of the beautiful reasons why Upstate New York is such a gem. Definitely would recommend this space!

Our crew used this stylish cabin as a backdrop for a branded piece. The property is beyond photogenic! It simply made the entire commercial come together. Private secluded forest and lake. There is a swampy meadow on the property that plays as the American South! Gina was helpful and a pleasure to work with!
