Located 3 hours NW of Albany, 2 hours NE of Syracuse. There's plenty to do at the cabin, although one of our favorite things to do is nothing at all. Canoe, kayak, watch the birds, watch the stars, swim. Play board games, play volleyball, do a puzzle. Curl up on the sleeping porch with your favorite book, or grab one from our shelves. Make dinner, make dessert, make a fire, and definitely make s'mores. Sunbathe or snowshoe. Catch fireflies or smallmouth off the dock.
Croghan and the surrounding areas have many snowmobile trails. There are many access trails to Tug Hill. Snowshoeing, cross country skiing, tubing, etc in Lowville, Watertown, and Old Forge.

Summary: This is our second visit to the cabin. Not sure where to begin but this place is like a little piece of heaven. The grounds and surrounding area are perfect. There’s places for swimming, fishing, kayaking, badminton, volleyball, and a hot tub. The pond is huge and the surrounding areas are beautiful to kayak, boat or sail on! Oh and let’s not forget the fire area. Large and seats for everyone. So quiet and peaceful! This is just the outside. Inside there are 2porches for morning coffee visits or family puzzle time. Ample room and spaces to gather for games and meals. There is a well equipped kitchen that has just about anything you need to prep and cook with. If you forgot a tool it’s probably in there. The host is easily accessible and responsive. We hope to go back the entire family loves it there! Thank you for having us!
