Listen to the gentle brook and barred owls while nestled into the woods of Ashfield, MA on a small herbal homestead. The forest hut is a screened in platform that is lovely for camping on a warm summer's night. It has large windows and screens to keep out the bugs while enjoying a cool mountain breeze. There is a newly built composting toilet on site and small fire pit. This is not a cabin, no electricity, running water or plumbing. It is not well suited for winter camping unless you’re well equipped. BYO gear as there is not mattress or blankets in the shelter. We have a small farm store near the road filled with herbal teas, tinctures, gifts, chicken eggs, soaps, maple syrup and ghee. Take a swim in the Ashfield lake 1 mile away or visit the enchanting Chapel Falls on Trustees land just down the road in Williamsburg.

It's lambing time!!! This is the best time of year to visit us, as maximum cuteness is running around just a short walk across the suspension bridge from where you will be staying! We currently have 11 newborn lambs all less than two weeks old (two new arrivals today!) and two ewes are still waiting to deliver. Who knows...maybe they will wait til you get here! Our farm was named after the summer home of Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg. Trollhaugen Farm means Troll hill, but the only real trolls around these parts are the sheep. Our farm has sheep, pigs, chickens and ducks that you are welcome to visit. The yurt sits under the trees next to a babbling brook. A suspension bridge connects you to the farm area. The yurt is private and has a fire pit right out back where you can grill or just sit and enjoy the fire. The colorful yurt offers a comfy four poster bed, a small kitchen area and a bathroom with shower and composting toilet. This is a great place for children, bikers, swimmers, hikers or anyone who just wants to get away from it all for a few days. There are many lovely hikes, one of which takes you to a pond you can swim in. You can also hike up in the woods behind the yurt. Newfane village is one of the most picturesque villages in Vermont, with a courthouse on the green. There are two restaurants in Newfane, two coffee shops, a flea market on Sundays, and a great antique store. We are close to Brattleboro, home to one of the best coops in the northeast, as well as many fun stores and an art museum. Please come visit us!

Enjoyed Judith’s place so much! On the water and anything you need from a store is just 15 minutes away. Judy was a responsive and accommodating host. A joy to deal with. Look forward to returning, and I’ll make sure to bring my hammock next time.

We had a great time at Sip Pond! The views were unbeatable. We kayaked around during the day and had campfires at night. Bring a pot/pan, but otherwise everything was great:)

Weekend Trip to Forest Hut in Western Mass

We had a great weekend getaway in this cute forest hut! The hut and privy were stocked with everything we needed for a weekend. The town of Ashfield is also very quaint. The hut is fairly close to the Airbnb house, so if you're looking for an isolated stay in the woods, this may not be far enough from others as you'd prefer.

Weekend Trip to Sip Pond Lakefront Cottage

Judy's cottage on Sip Pond was the perfect weekend stay for us and our water-loving dog. We brought most of our camping supplies but were pleasantly surprised when the cottage had basically everything we needed (cooking utensils, plates, towels, etc.). It was so nice to have drinking water, clean and comfy bed, and clean porta-potty. Waking up to gorgeous pond views was such a treat. Sip Pond is wonderful - we spent all day on the water, kayaking and fishing. The neighbors that we bumped into were extremely kind and welcoming. We wished we stayed longer! We hope to come stay at the cottage and enjoy the pond again at some point.

Staying at the Forest Hut was a magical experience. The hut was cozy and romantic with the fairy lights, views of the light through the trees, and sounds of nature lulling us to sleep. The privy was clean and comfortable. Swinging in the hammock sipping coffee and reading a book was never better. Host is just lovely and her garden/apothecary made it extra special!

We had a great time here! The host Katie communicated with us via text promptly and clearly, with just enough frequency to keep us feeling like true guests. The facilities are all top quality, well thought out, leaving us with no want of cooking options, water, a wonderful fire pit and firewood (although we decided not to build a fire and turned in early instead) and comfortable seating areas including plenty of Adirondack style chairs. Bathroom/showers were spotless. Other guests were friendly and considerate. If in the Charlemont area again, we'd feel fortunate to have another opportunity to stay at Foolhardy Hill.

Lovely lake front setting with incredible sunsets. Enjoyed it thoroughly. We used the SUPs and Kayaks to paddle past the Lilly pads and swim in the clear middle of the lake. Highly recommend.

We greatly enjoyed our stay! The yurt, farm, and surrounding land are beautiful and peaceful. I loved reading about its history and thinking of all the people and animals who have been here over the years. The spot where the yurt is feels secluded, which helped our anxious dog find some calm in a new environment. Johanna and Bahman were helpful and friendly!

3 nights at Green Gem Yurt Farm Stay

We really enjoyed our three night stay at Trollhaugen! It was relaxing and peaceful. The setting was perfect and private though we could see and hear the farm animals across the brook. We did venture over the very cool “troll” bridge, to visit the animals. The area was beautiful and the people at the general store greeted my husband every morning as he went for coffee as if he were an old friend. Bring coffee if you want to make it yourself and get ice at the grocery store as the general store didn’t have any when we were there. Otherwise, the rustic yurt was well-equipped with everything else we needed. The bed was comfy, the eggs were delish and even with the extreme heat, sleeping was comfortable with our little fan and the windows open. The indoor bathroom with a shower was an A+ for me! My kind of camping - with shelter, a bed and a private bath.

Foolhardy is fabulous! The honors were very friendly and responsive. We usually camp at state parks but this time decided to rent a cabin. The cabin was very clean. And the mattresses were comfortable. We are very lucky to have the entire place to ourselves. The kitchen area is top notch and fully equipped with everything from pots to dishes to cleaning supplies.

We had a great time staying at the yurt. There were all the amenities- the kitchen, compost toilets, shower, running water, stove, etc. The stay was very comfortable. Impromptu farm tour by the host Johanna was great! The creek runs right next to the yurt and has a fun suspension bridge on it. And there's a little tree swing!!!! Loved the place. Would visit again!

The yurt was very comfortable, plenty included to entertain yourself and peaceful at night. The property is beautiful and the yurt is private. The grounds are left very natural so if we went back I would have brought some tall thick socks and bug spray. The guide in the yurt helped a lot with finding coffee and food.

Weekend Trip to Forest Hut in Western Mass

I loved staying at the kuti for a night! It was my first time camping totally solo and I felt very safe and secure at this spot. The land is beautiful, and I appreciated the things that were provided (picnic table, paper/matches for fire building). I got some awesome herbal products and eggs from the farm store. It was so quiet and peaceful at night. The composting privy was very neat and clean. It was perfect for a solo camp, and I could see it also being nice for a couple, parent-kiddo, or close friends. It felt spacious for just me but would definitely be tight quarters for more than 2 people. I’d love to come and stay again!
