Cozy hidden gem

I have not stayed somewhere so beautiful in a long time. The surrounding woods are vast and lovely. It was snowy during our trip and everything was picturesque. The cabin was bright clean and warm. Everything was comfortable. The hot tub on a snowy evening is memorable. I would love to visit again in the summer. My dogs LOVED it! Such a peaceful trip! THANK YOU!

Perfect Weekend Getaway

My girlfriend and I really enjoyed our stay here. Cabin was clean and had all the amenities we needed besides food. Hot tub was squeaky clean and a fantastic addition to the experience in these chilly months. The owners were kind, courteous, and prompt with answering any questions we had. Cell phone service was limited but enough to send out calls/text if needed, just no social media (which is what we wanted!). Definitely looking for ways to return in the warmer months to explore the trails out back.

My family truly enjoyed our stay. It was a perfect little cabin surrounded by beautiful trees. My children loved walking the trails and enjoyed smores by campfire. The hosts were kind enough to provide some snacks and even dog treats! We made memories our children talked about all the way home. we manynextras likes

What a peaceful treat!

We come to Mohican every year to relax for a few days, do some hiking, bask in the peace, and hit that big red reset button. This was our first time at Ethan’s Retreat, but will hopefully not be the last! Being able to include our fur-babe in our trip was the cherry on top of this phenomenal stay. Clean, quiet, adorable, and so comfy! Would love to stay in the winter. I bet it’s like a wonderland!

Amazing

We came up for my nieces wedding. She got married at the Moachian tree house. The house was so nice and peaceful. I enjoyed listening to all the sounds of nature. The hot tub was amazing especially the night we got there after driving for 8 hours it was nice to unwind in the hot tub.
