OUR STORY

Saved 50 acres from becoming 200 condos

Christine bought this peninsula to preserve one of the most beautiful stretches of the Mohawk River. She's been restoring each cabin one by one — bringing back the charm of old-style riverfront getaways along the original Erie Canal.

The property once housed the horses that pulled Erie Canal barges. Today, you'll find 18 cabins, each with its own personality — some polished, some perfectly quirky. Crooked floors, incredible views, and the kind of peace that keeps people coming back.

THINGS TO DO

On the water, in the woods, or just on the porch

Kayak the Mohawk

Free kayaks and tubes on property. Paddle to the sandbar island or explore the Vischer Ferry Preserve.

Hike & bike the trail

The Vischer Ferry Bike Trail borders the property — miles of paths through history along the original Erie Canal.

Fire pit evenings

Every cabin has its own fire pit. Bring firewood, settle in, and watch the stars come out over the river.

Birdwatching

Home to Benjamin the bald eagle and Herman the blue heron. Hawks, turtles, and incredible wildlife year-round.

Swim at the sandbar

Kayak or float to the sandbar island in the river. A private little beach in the middle of the Mohawk.

Fish the river

Cast a line right from the shore. The Mohawk is full of bass, walleye, and northern pike. Bring your gear.
