Welcome to the Dry Brook Cabin, which is right along the Dry Brook River. You can probably hear
it. It is located right in the backyard of this cabin. It is beautiful. The trees are beautiful
here, and this cabin is Scandinavian-inspired, and it's absolutely beautiful as well. Let's go
check this place out.
Today, we are located in Arkville, New York, which is such a beautiful spot to be. It's only two
hours and 45 minutes from New York City, so not too far at all to get away and stay at a serene
spot that's tucked right on the Dry Brook River, which contrary to its name, is not dry. There's a
lot of water flowing here, actually. This Airbnb is private as well and surrounded by the nature
that the Catskills region has to offer. We are here in the fall, clearly, and the trees all around are
changing colors to orange, red, and yellow, and the mountains and hills around you are covered in
them. It dawned on me while I was standing here, actually, that the changing colors of the trees
is a pretty rare thing overall on the entire world. Nowhere in the tropical regions does this
happen, so if you've never experienced fall foliage, New York is a perfect spot. And even better yet,
this cabin, it is beautiful here, especially at this capacity that the colors are so vibrant. So,
if you want to book this cabin at any time, the link is down below to check it out.
It is a great spot, I highly suggest it. It's on Airbnb. Anyway, the Dry Brook cabin was designed
by the hosts themselves and built by local contractors and was inspired by the Scandinavian
simplicity and functionality. The hosts' goal was to create the space which gives you the comfort
of modern living, yet not to keep you inside, but to be a part of the surrounding landscape.
That might be tough because the interior is just as incredible, if you ask me. Let's head inside
and check this place out. When you walk inside, you are immediately in your foyer area. In here,
there's some closet space to your right that are seamless to the wall. Here, you can store your
stuff or even hang your clothes on these hangers. There's also a full-length mirror, which is very
convenient. Around this, there are several spots to walk into, two doors and even some stairs.
We will first go through the door on the left that walks you into your main living space. This
space is huge with the open floor plan and cathedral ceilings. I mean, it's beautiful on
every angle you look. It's amazing. The wood everywhere really makes this cabin feel cozy,
and there's only natural and earthy tones in here, which I am all for. This left side has a couple
seats and a fireplace. You can't call a cabin a cabin without a fireplace, so this is perfect.
It's a real wood-burning fireplace, as well, so the smell is great, and there's just something about
burning real wood that nothing can compare. It also serves as a spot to heat up your water
and this tea kettle. Continuing along this wall, there's a huge light that overhangs
over this chair, perfect for reading and drinking some tea or coffee. There's also a guitar on this
wall that is next to your couch. This couch aesthetic fits right in with this cabin and is
very deep. A deep couch is a comfy couch, if you ask me, and of course, your coffee table with some
cabin books on it. If you're looking for books to put on your own coffee table, then I suggest
Alabaster Bibles. Alabaster combines beautiful imagery and thoughtful design into each individual
book of the Bible. I have a huge collection myself because I think they are so beautiful and cool.
I love reading them, and the images correlate to what you're reading the theme. They also serve as
a great decor piece, like on your coffee table, on your nightstand, or even your bookshelf. And
one bonus is that everybody that's come over to visit my house, I've always picked these up
because they are so neat and just unique, and I think that is a great way to also use these
Bibles. So, they have a ton of books to choose from. They have collections, hardcover and softcover,
and Christmas season is right around the corner. These are perfect gifts. I have gifted these
several times, actually, so if you want to purchase some of these for yourself or for a friend, you can
head the link down in the description and use code KELLYLEVI10 for 10% off your entire order.
Get them now before Christmas, and let's get along with the tour. The dining table is round and has
four chairs, since this cabin can sleep four guests. On it is your guidebook, which is nice,
and the local beer provided to you by the hosts, if you're into that. Next, the kitchen is behind
this, and it spans across this wall with gray being the theme color for it. The backsplash is
this gray stone, which matches the gray countertop and cabinets, all very sleek looking. The cabinets
below have your dishware needs, as well as the cabinets over top the counter. Back to below the
counter, there's a mini fridge and a dishwasher on this side, as well as a mini range and microwave
on the other side. And yes, there is coffee with creamer provided here as well. This is my favorite
so I always look and I'm glad to see that I can enjoy some here. Above your kitchen is a wooden
slab wall that has the loft behind it. I really like this concept because it keeps the area open,
but it's just enough to have a little bit of separation and privacy from up there. The door
next to this kitchen is a bedroom, and here's a simple layout with your bed in the middle,
lights and nightstands on each side, and generously sized window and a cabinet for you to store
your stuff. Simple and to the point in here, but it looks really nice. Let's head back around to
the entrance and walk up to the loft now. These stairs are very steep and don't take much room
at all. Climb up here and you'll walk into the second bedroom. The wooden vaulted ceiling makes
the space even more intimate, I would say. There's the bed tucked up against this wall underneath the
skylight, which is nice. There's a nightstand and a light right next to it, and a bookshelf.
And there's also subseding options all around. This loft space is also carpeted, so overall,
I'm really enjoying this loft space and it fits well. Now, we can walk back down the ladder and
into the last space of this home, the bathroom. This bathroom is fairly large for the overall
size of this cabin. The left has the toilet, which is this wooden shelf that goes along the entire
wall, then your vanity right in the middle. The mirror to this vanity is really cool, since the
ring light is in the mirror and can be turned off, as well as change the temperature collar.
Savannah had a fun time messing with this. The walls match the tiled flooring for a seamless,
sleek design in here, and around the corner is your shower space with the same tiling. There's
eucalyptus leaf hanging in here for a great smell, and it's just an overall nice shower.
That is everything inside the dry brook cabin, and the interior design is on point. If we go
back into the living room, the sliding doors lead to your outdoor space. There's a lot of beauty out
here, so let's go and check it out. When you walk out here, you have the entire back porch area to
enjoy. This is a huge decked out space, which I love outdoor spaces so much. This left side has a
couple chairs to sit at and enjoy the view that this property has. It is open, and as you can see
in the very end, there's an opening to the river, which we'll get to here in a second. But it is
beautiful to sit out here. There's flowers on this side, and on the other side, you have a picnic
table that matches your cabin. It's black and some more beautiful views. If we take a step down from
the steps of the deck, we can take a look at the back of the cabin, and it is just as beautiful
as everything else. The black wood siding is probably my favorite style of siding for a home
and a cabin. It is just so gorgeous, and even on the front, all the windows and the black wood look
amazing. If we walk down to the trees here, there is a small kids swing set, which is perfect for
Sven and I because we bring Weston along with us, which is our newborn, and he was a little bit too
small for this, but we tried it out and had him swing in this, and he is so cute in that little
swing, so this was fun. And then, we can continue walking down to the fire pit area. Here's a couple
chairs, and you can sit here and enjoy a fire right along the Dry Brook River. Here, you have the
beautiful views of the river flowing right in front of you. It sounds incredible. Here's a clip
of what this sounds like. And the hill that goes up right behind it with all the changing colors
during this time of year is beautiful. This space is something I dream about, and I could come out here
and read or drink some coffee every single day and never get bored of it. And you can come here and
enjoy it yourself if you book this place. That is the Dry Brook Cabin, located along the river, right
in between these hills, right in the fall time, and it is beautiful here. The hosts nailed it with this
property, I think. I could honestly live here if this was my own property, so I highly suggest
checking this place out, guys. So, that is that, and all the words I say in these videos are my own
words. I do not get paid to say anything. I genuinely tell you about my experience here. So, with that
being said, it is getting a little bit darker out here. I'm going to head inside, eat some dinner,
and I'll see you guys next week on another Airbnb tour.
