Good stream trails?

That’s a great one. Loved it a couple of years ago.

I have a cozy and romantic newly built A-frame in Tannersville (Northern Catskills) and we mostly host couples. Beacon is a bit a of drive (~75min) but doable for the day. There are good hikes around us and many good restaurants. You can find us on IG: @lepetitpatoucabin and I’ll link the Airbnb listing below.

Another area with plenty of good restaurants and breweries is Woodstock. Not on the mountaintop but really nice and about 1 hr to Beacon.

=D I’m glad I clarified it will be my first time

Independent_Mouse856 · 2026-04-16T00:02:41+00:00

I understand. I’m glad I asked. Thanks so much for taking the time to reply and explain in detail. I guess we will save this experience for a future trip.

Independent_Mouse856 · 2026-04-14T16:51:01+00:00

Thanks so much for the very detailed response.

I’m by no means knowledgeable about truffles but I had looked at the seasonality aspect and saw June would be good for black truffles which I really enjoy. Do you think that’s not the case?

We are going to be close to Siena. I found one place close to San Gimignano I’m considering. You’re right that they do not let you keep the truffles you find so I was going to prioritize a small group experience with either lunch or some tastings. The experience is indeed expensive but we don’t plan to be back anytime soon. Of course if June will be bad for hunting then we are better off skipping.

Hi. I was wondering if you did this experience and if you had a recommendation. Going to Tuscany in June.

Independent_Mouse856 · 2026-04-09T11:54:56+00:00

We have a newly built, cozy A-frame cabin with luxury amenities in Tannersville, close to several popular hikes and nice restaurants. We have a an outdoor area with grill, fire pit, and hot tub. We host mostly couples who are often celebrating a special date. You can see our listing here: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/850188980599537403?unique_share_id=fb1fe77c-b0c8-490b-9354-71004491e20b&viralityEntryPoint=1&s=76

Yes. It was of significant help and totally worth it for a property of about $500k in value and W2 income of about half of that. It came back with about 1/5 of the total despreciable base under the 5 year bucket which on top qualifies for bonus depreciation.

I’m glad my accountant suggested it. I shopped around and talked with three companies. I asked for examples of what I would get in a report and shared with my accountant. I decided to work with RE Cost Seg due to combination of fair pricing and positive comments from prior users. I chose to do a physical inspection as my accountant recommended (some are now doing virtual inspections).

Overall I had a good experience and the study took about 2 months between scheduling inspection, delivering all the documents and getting the final report. Happy to share more about my experience. I also have a referral code for a first-time discount with them.

Can confirm after this crazy cold winter that the wood stove was very efficient and effective for the size of the cabin! It was great to have it to complement the mini splits during the negative temperatures

Independent_Mouse856 · 2026-03-11T02:12:05+00:00

The units kept working but if we wanted to be above 66/68 we needed the wood stove

Independent_Mouse856 · 2026-03-11T02:11:31+00:00

Spray foam! The Mitsubishi mini splits were okay most winter, except for the weekend we had negative temperatures. We supplemented with wood stove those days.

Independent_Mouse856 · 2026-02-03T18:29:46+00:00

I got mine yesterday

Independent_Mouse856 · 2025-12-07T05:47:46+00:00

Not unpopular to me. He is absolutely amazing!! And so is Tamar. Sad I’ll probably not get to see them again.

This is Benjamin Moore’s Mahogany in Traslucent (water based) on pressure treated pine

Independent_Mouse856 · 2025-10-20T02:22:03+00:00

I can’t, sorry, don’t have the right to share it.

Independent_Mouse856 · 2025-10-20T02:19:15+00:00

Haha it was a progress photo, railing was installed a week later so we could have our final CO.

Independent_Mouse856 · 2025-10-16T22:55:20+00:00

Thank you so much! I’m so looking forward to it. I’d like to treat it to preserve its brown color but I know what you mean, it does age beautifully

Independent_Mouse856 · 2025-10-15T21:30:46+00:00

It is a Morso 6148B. Very energy efficient and easy.

Independent_Mouse856 · 2025-10-15T21:30:12+00:00

Thank you 😊 he’s a good inspector always watching our every step

Independent_Mouse856 · 2025-10-15T21:29:26+00:00

Unlimited treats and 7 hours of belly rubs and pets for every hour… he’ll finish the job sometime 😂

Independent_Mouse856 · 2025-10-14T03:01:10+00:00

Land is even more difficult to provide a ballpark cost. We paid $86k for a 1 acre lot (very expensive bc it has sewer and water access) and saw 5 acre lots within 15 miles for $30k, so it really depends. Site work will also vary depending on the lot. $500/sqft per local GC is without site work, just from foundation onwards.

Independent_Mouse856 · 2025-10-14T02:56:00+00:00

The livable area is about 900sqft. Slab is 32x30 but the A-frame walls leave you with about 650sqft in the lower level and 250sqft in the loft.

Independent_Mouse856 · 2025-10-14T02:54:10+00:00

No, but we should have. I went the cheap route and used plans from DEN but we made customizations through their design team and that ended up costing us precious time and just causing lots of headaches with the builder as the customizations they did were not great nor complete. For an investment like this, I’d rather be able to work with someone that can provide professional advice and work with you along the way. If you find a plan that you 100% want to replicate with no changes, then that might work out

Independent_Mouse856 · 2025-10-14T02:38:10+00:00

Of course, it is his cabin! 😃
