Weekend Trip to Humble Farm with Simplicity

Great hospitality from Mary & Victor. The horses were friendly to my dog & I. There are also chickens on the site as well. You can tell a lot of thought was put into the cabin. It’s very homey & cozy. I stayed for one night and going to stay for more whenever I need a getaway! Recommend. :)

Weekend Trip to Atland Artist Residency

Gorgeous, secluded, woodsy serenity! I loved the outdoor shower, easy communication, charming decoration and thoughtfully placed amenities throughout the cabin and surrounds. I look forward to visiting again soon, hopefully for a much longer stay.

The warm cabin on a cold late summer night.

Cabin was immaculate. Remote, but still 15 min from coffee.

Weekend Trip to Art-Funk Forest Retreat

First off, the pictures do not do this cabin justice. This place is amazing. My entire family enjoyed all of the eclectic artwork and my wife was in heaven with the extensive collection of literature. The cabin was clean and has everything you need for a relaxing stay. The jacuzzi tub is a must to unwind. There's plenty of seasoned fireword for the stone fireplace and a collection of board games to enjoy. Outside we found hidden spots of whimsy with fairy lights and sculpture throughout the property. The host was very responsive and couldn't be more helpful. We would definitely recommend and will certainly be back.

We loved our stay at the cabin! It was very secluded and private while having access to the lovely grounds and hikes. The electric battery and propane stove made cooking very easy and we had cozy nights by the wood stove. The farm grounds are beautiful and we loved exploring the ponds and brook.

My daughter and I had a perfect stay. Stacey was always quick to respond to any question or need and the space was just what I was looking for. If you are not confident in your fire building skills, check out her instructional video— I learned so much from it.

Weekend Trip to Sunflower Retreat

This tiny cabin is a wonderful spot if you need some quiet time to reflect, meditate (zafus were provided!), read, or write. It's well maintained and clean with great views of the woods, ample light, and privacy (even with no leaves on the trees). Using the wood stove was simple and the bed was super comfy! The cabin is also very close to DAR State Forest and other trails if you want to get some hiking in. Highly recommended!

7 nights at Art-Funk Forest Retreat

Such a cool spot! We loved staying here - kids & dog included! Comfy, cozy, and the best kitchen I’ve ever had! We will definitely be staying again!

We loved our stay at Misty's cabin! She was so kind in driving us up to the cabin in the rain and ensuring we had everything we needed. The cabin was perfectly cozy - we loved the wood stove, the outhouse, the loft and comfy couch. Misty left detailed instructions and was easy to contact.

We enjoyed our stay in the cabin! Comfortable couch, cozy fire place, and lots of privacy. The bed in the upstairs nook stayed warm on a cold night. We hope to return!

Weekend Trip to Atland Artist Residency

I had such a great time at the cabin! The hosts were great (two women while I was there). Everything was super clean and well thought out, I had brought several things that I ended up not needing to unpack because the little (it is very little…) cabin was so well stocked! The trails on the property are short but awesome, the outdoor shower was great. The outhouse was beautiful and very clean. The Wi-Fi was pretty good and fast, but it was a little bit spotty/in and out. I came to the cabin as a tiny solo writing retreat and spent a lot of time inside and though it small and chilly outside I was very comfortable and cozy! I will say I also saw a few critters in the cabin, nothing to be alarmed about but if you’re opting for a cabin over a tent because outdoor friends are a 100% no for you, you have to remember the cabin is still in the woods 🙃 I felt super safe as a solo woman, with lots of privacy but the main Atland house in view for emergency/peace of mind. Excellent location. Would totally come again.

Peaceful spot, watched deer thru the picture window in the morning, wood stove made it cozy, pleasant walk down the road past a farm and apple orchard. A lovely stay!

Stacey’s place is truly a sanctuary and is incredibly peaceful. She told me that it used to be a Franciscan monastery and I felt that the monks’ peaceful presence still permeates the area. I had a lovely solo retreat and very much enjoyed the wood burning stove, looking out at the trees and sleeping very well in the comfy bed. I highly recommend!

Atland Artist Residency

5 sites · Lodging, Tents41 acres · West Chesterfield, MA

We're named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2024 and 2023! Over 40 acres of solitude tucked in the hilltowns of the western Massachusetts Berkshires -- boasting warm sunrises over the distant hills, lush forest for hiking and meandering river frontage on Bronson Brook and walking distance to the Westfield River to wade and soak in the cool mountain water or fish for native trout! The cabin and camping sites are located in beautiful trails that were created around the main home -- an architect designed masterpiece boasting a wonderful asian influence yet handcrafted from the very timberstock off the land on which it sits lending a refined rustic twist. 25 Min to Northampton and 10 min to the Berkshires! You can hike or bike to the best swimming holes around and camp within our beautiful forested hills of hemlock, birch, maple, and wildflower meadow. If you're into kayaking/canoeing/tubing/hiking/fishing, then this is the perfect space for you. Come escape and breathe in our cool clean mountain air :)

Moon In The Pond Farm

5 sites · Lodging, Tents35 acres · Sheffield, MA

Well off the beaten track, it's scenic, private and peaceful. Camping at Moon In The Pond Farm is a bit of heaven. There are separate sites to choose. Around the farm, you have your own secluded spot to enjoy. (Though you may be in a field next to our Scottish Highland cattle!) Two are tent sites: the PondSide and the FieldEdge. There's one site for small/tiny RVs or Campervan. And finally there's the HiddenCabin--a bed a roof and convenience. Each has a firepit with a small grill to cook over the fire. (all firewood provided) Our campsites are in quieter areas of the farm. One overlooks the pond, others are on the edges of different farm fields, one a cabin nearer the farmstead. All require a beautiful, bucolic trek of 150-350 yards from the roadside parking--ensuring the quiet, natural experience. During the day times, you may see or hear farm work. At night it's lusciously dark and serenely quiet. You'll hear owls hoot, frogs croak, crickets chirp, foxes yowl and coyotes howl! In June and July the fields and trees light up like Christmas with fireflies, and you'll see the stars. During the week is the absolute best time--the local hot spots (or cooling down spots!) are much quieter, and all our campsites have reduced weekday rates. If you can, take advantage by adding a Thursday or Sunday night to a weekend stay. We've got an awesome, easy hiking trail on adjacent Nature Conservancy land. It meanders through woodlands, around rock ledges, through wetlands (on a 600' of boardwalk) and ends at a beautiful stream and pond with a gigantic beaver dam. Not far from here are numerous well-marked hiking trails (including the Appalachian Trail (with famous Bash Bish Falls) and several offshoots (Sage's Ravine, Race Brook Falls), Bartholomew's Cobble, Umpacheenee Falls, and others). Also in the neighborhood are opportunities for canoeing, kayaking, swimming, rock climbing, gavel-road and country-road biking, and pretty much any outdoor activity/adventure opportunity. Or... you can just chill and relax, sleep, or read the day away! Love food? This is Farm-to-Table for real! Never so close--the table's AT the farm! Bring your cooking gear and get some of our wicked fresh organic food--veggies, chops, sausages, eggs, bacon, granola, yogurt, etc. Sear yourself up a real treat! Very nearby, as the Berkshires is a cultural mecca, there are also numerous opportunities from many great restaurants to art, dance, music, spas, galleries, antique shops, museums, cafes and much more. It's still amazingly quiet at the farm where the Milky Way is clearly visible.
