Great escape

Great neo cabin surrounded by lush woods, but not so far from civilization. Nice layout for a small group. Modern conveniences and just what was needed for our week away.

Amazing stay

Beautifully designed house - simplistic, clean, peaceful. High end nets on the windows/sliding doors to keep out any bugs were a plus. We stayed during a heat wave and the floor fans helped. Beds were very comfortable and supportive. Water pressure and hot water completely normal / not an issue at all. Kitchen was fully stocked. Fast WiFi. The beautiful tall trees surrounding the house made us feel like we were staying in the middle of a forest - relaxing vibe that really helped us to unplug. Thank you to Maria for a wonderful stay.

Beautiful!

Incredibly well designed property. Love the large windows which makes you feel like you are in nature when you are indoors. Close to cool restaurants, Woodstock, and Bread Alone with maybe the best brick oven pizza ever. Maria was super responsive. Thank you for an amazing stay!

Serene Respite in Nature

Our time at the modern forest retreat was outstanding. We stayed for a week in May and had friends join for a few days. It is perfect for two couples with separate bedrooms and bathrooms and central common spaces for cooking, relaxing and enjoying beautiful views. The start of our trip had a little chill so we enjoyed the indoor wood stove which was perfect to cozy the place- plenty of cut firewood and kindling made this a breeze. As the week warmed we also got to enjoy the incredible large screen doors to open up and welcome cool breezes and the sounds of the creek and birds. Internet access was perfect and we enjoyed the projector TV to stream some shows. House is well stocked with everything you need for cooking, linens and towels. Was perfectly cleaned and functional. Loved the property- very secluded yet close to several restaurants, shops and breweries. Enjoyed the fire pit and the fabulous deck spaces. We also grilled on the outdoor grill. Maria was a joy to work with, incredibly informative and responsive to all inquiries. Can’t say enough how much we loved this property and our relaxing time there.

About the host

Hosted by Maria

We are NY architects who have enjoyed hiking and camping in the area for years. We decided to develop a vacant lot to act as a base for our outdoor activities and a place to entertain our less adventurous family and friends!

Why they chose this property

Our goal with this property was to design and build a sustainable house which could be a model for future projects. This house is well insulated and utilizes triple and double glazed windows. Solar panels offset the low yearly electric demand of the house. Our hope was to maintain the natural beauty of the site by saving as many of the existing trees. The trees offer a nice mix of pines, beech, oak, etc. A small creek runs through the property, providing lovely sound and a spot to look for tadpoles and frogs.

What makes this property unique

The connection to the Forest is truly special at our house. The house is meant to be a quiet backdrop for restorative time away from work or school, a chance to reset.
