My birthday's coming up, and I'm looking to rent a cabin in the woods with some friends for a weekend. I'm looking for a good balance of price, proximity to NYC (ideally within 2 hours, any direction, the less the better) and woodsy-ness. Recommendations for either a specific place/rental company/rental website would be super appreciated.
