Hike or bike 2 miles into a completely secluded cabin on 600 acres with panoramic views of the Green Mountains. You’ll arrive to a cozy cabin that can comfortably sleep 2, or up to 4 if needed, equipped with a potbelly stove and basic cooking equipment. The mountain, once a source of wood for the Stanley Tool factory and a site for bridle trails in the summer and Nordic skiing in the winter, is now best known as a the birthplace of the Spartan Race and host of the infamous Death Races, as well being a popular mountain biking destination called the Green Mountain Trails. The trail system boasts 25 miles of flowy trails for all abilities as well as a stone staircase climbing from the base to the top of the trails at Shrek’s Stone Hut. Awake to an incredible sunrise and panoramic Green Mountain views after a night underneath a starry dome unblemished by city lights. Chilly evenings in the hut are easily tempered by a pot belly stove fed by seasoned wood. A built in bunk accommodates two people, but it’s possible to sleep up to four guests.Awake to an incredible sunrise and panoramic Green Mountain views after a night underneath a starry dome unblemished by city lights.

    Generated from real Hipcamper reviews

    Shrek's Hut offers a serene and picturesque escape with stunning views of the Green Mountains. Guests frequently mention the well-maintained trails and the cozy, rustic charm of the cabin, which is well-stocked with essentials. The hut provides a warm setting with its woodstove, although it can get stuffy at night. While most visitors appreciate the secluded feel, be prepared for some daytime foot traffic due to the cabin's location at a trail nexus.

    Incredible stay -- we had warm sun on arrival and a rainy hike out -- both beautiful. It is charming, restorative, and peaceful. The bunks are twin (on top) and maybe full (on bottom). With just two of us, we used both sleeping mats on the floor which worked great.

    What a lovely spot! If anything, go for stars and the sunrise. It was a fairly easy trek in. Very well maintained bike trails and a very fun stone staircase for hikers. The hut itself if cozy and comfortable. It was nice to chat with people stopping by to catch the views. Highly recommend this spot!
