Enjoy this unique space 1700 ft above sea level with panoramic views of the Catskill Mountains just 2.5 hours from NYC in our fabulous Sun Barn! Ideal for couples. Plus free unlimited basic wi-fi internet, 2 person cooling bath tub
and cozy cast iron wood burning stove.
The Sun Barn is a 20 foot x 12 foot structure made from mostly recycled and reclaimed materials. Dozens of windows make it feel like you're camping outside. And you're protected from rain, wind and any uninvited animals. A highlight is the 2 person cooling bath tub feed by stored rain water for cooling off during a hot day.
There is nearby porta-potty for your private use only.
Just outside the barn you'll find your Weber propane barbecue grill with solid wood traditional picnic table and benches. Use the ice filled cooler provided to store your burgers, hot dogs and other food items. We provide all the cooking utensils, silverware, paper plates, napkins, coffee mugs, drinking water and other kitchen essentials (salt, pepper, tissues, wipes, dish soap, etc.)
If you're here during a clear night, you will be dazzled by our star gazing and wonder in awe at how clearly you can see the Milky Way from our field.
Walk our secluded dirt road and visit the animals at the nearby farm (Lamas, sheep, goats, donkeys, ducks, chickens).

Persons over 6 feet tall may find this particular accommodation uncomfortable due to low ceiling beams. You may want to check out our other glamping site on the property called The Buck and Glamp Palace, Fox A-frame, The Tiny Stargazer and Cat in the Hat on Wheels (Dr. Seuss inspired).
Tub is connected to a 55 gallon storage tank that holds captured rain water. So this means no hot water, but rather air temperature water. Perfect for cooling off during a hot summer day or for taking a relaxing bubble bath in the evening.
