If you were raised by outdoorsy parents, you might possess some understanding of what it’s like to be dragged around sopping-wet campsites (yes, it always seemed to be raining during excursions to the outdoors), forced to attempt sleep on the inhospitable ground, and then had to get dressed in a space too small to stand up in. We couldn’t help but look at this cabin in Delaware County and wonder how different our childhoods would have been if our parents would have had this place instead of leaky Army surplus tents that mosquitoes seemed to adore. It’s simple, to be sure, but it does include an electric cooking range, a dry bathroom complete with sink and shower (you bring the water), a steel drum stove in the living room, and a loft sleeping area that seems sufficiently large enough to accommodate a family or a group of good buddies. It’s also on 5 acres with access to DEP recreational lands. Bid farewell to your tents. Closest civilization is Prattsville 3.5 miles away, or Roxbury10.5 miles away.
