THERE IS WIFI, PRIVATE HOT SHOWER and FLUSH TOILET.
EXCEPT FOR THE RECENTLY ADDED TULLY 'THOREAU' ISLAND.
Salamander Hollow is a private, evolving honeybee and human being
sanctuary on 17 acres of land abutting Massachusetts State Forest. We
currently have a one-room, wood stove warmed, cozy sleeping loft for one or two - with two benches below on either side of room - for two sleeping bags; plus, a separate 22 foot Sioux tipi with two cots. There are two chairs in the tipi, which if removed at night, make floor room for four other sleeping bags.
'Forest Bathing' for miles!
If you're a larger group booking Salamander Hollow main camp with its Sleeping Library, Tipi & Slovenian Beehive House, you might consider renting this additional Tiny Cabin want to entertain all in glamping style, utilizing its amenities; as well, providing another bathroom/shower and guest bedroom for those who prefer being indoors while in the great outdoors.
Note that Kula Bata Tiny Cabin abuts the wheelchair accessible larger bathroom/shower which is available to those at the Salamander Hollow main camp, yet you are secluded with your own private entry points and private bathroom.
A ten minute drive takes you to the parking area to hike up Tully Mountain. There is a grill, wood fired pizza oven, two fire pits and a hygienic Incinolet electric toilet on the property for night convenience, with small camp sinks for washing & teeth brushing.
Take a short hike off the property to organic Chase Hill Farm for milk, eggs, seasonal veggies, grass fed meat and other goodies. Say hello to their cows, chickens, pigs, goats, pups and kids. Nestled across the road from Salamander Hollow is Timber Haven Farm, where you can schedule your pickup of bacon and eggs, while loading up on delicious Owl Energy Bars for your adventurous excursions. For those interested in the glamping side of camping, you will enjoy a remote rustic experience with a few creature comforts to keep you well read, clean and fed. Please bring your own bedding - pillows, sleeping bags, comforter, teddy bears.There is a wall mounted blue tooth car radio/CD player in Sleeping Library, so bring your pre-digital favorites. Classical CDs to listen to. Lots of eclectic books to peruse.Walkie talkies, a set of 4, are available upon request. Chess & poker sets, too.
Electric 2-burner stovetop and griddle upon request.
Bring fire-starters/newspaper for tinder. We suggest if you are staying more than a night or two in winter, you bring supplemental wood or we can direct you to a nearby stand. Next season, our own cut and split wood will be seasoned and available on site. We ask that you carry out trash and recyclables.
An established Western facing four point sacred Medicine Wheel site being established on Askari Ridge - our name for the slope starting with the two fire pits - 'Askari' being Swahili for night guard.
Here is where we envision a great touch-point area for those leading groups to be for a base-camp by day or night, where eventually a multi-use tenting platform/performance stage will be constructed for outdoor entertainment, creating an authentic 'stadium style' seating on the hill.
You will see on your way up to Salamander Hollow main clearing - the Kula Bata Tiny Kabin on the left of the dirt road- now available to rent with its small guest room for two, infrared sauna, hot shower, kitchenette, dishwasher and laundry.

Pitch a tent anywhere on the property, sit by the firepit in provided adirondack chairs, listen to bird calls, and enjoy the wildlife that visits our happy little home.

Tons more hiking and outdoor adventures await in Florence and other surrounding towns (all within 20-30 minute drives).
If you'd like to venture a bit farther, you can visit the Massachusetts of Contemporary Art (Mass Moca) which is one of the largest centers for contemporary visual art and performing arts in the United States and only an hour drive accompanied by beautiful scenery. A bit closer to "home" is the Montague Book Mill, a delightful 1834 grist mill turned used bookshop and restaurant sitting on a beautiful river.

Wyomanock Farm
31 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents75 acres · NY
Our 75 acres is a wonderful, diverse mix of habitat, harmoniously integrated with our small farm. This land was the homestead of the very first white settler of the area, John Wiley, in 1787. The Wyomanock Creek is the backbone of this little valley. Beaver have dammed the creek at several points to create ponds and other wetland features that support a diversity of wildlife including otter, moose and a myriad of birds, from osprey to herons. This sanctuary is host to many uncommon native plants and plant communities. We would love to share it with you!
Your host, Thom, invites you to property to explore 75 acres of meadows, woods and water. Choose one of several sites either in the woods or open areas. You are also free to use our outdoor solar shower or take a dip in the cold pond!
Our location is convenient to the Berkshire Mountains, state parks, hiking and other attractions, including Ramble Wild tree to tree adventures and Jiminy Peak. There are a few miles of rail trail access just down the road.

Buck Ridge Lodge
4 sites · Lodging2 acres · Wilmington, VT
After a long day of winter fun, come get warm and cozy in front of the fire at Rustic Buck Ridge Lodge! Located 2 miles from the base of Mount Snow in the Green Mountains, Buck Ridge Lodge is a throwback to the “golden age” of skiing. Rustic yet comfortable, the lodge is perfect for budget conscious and community minded folks who want to be close to all the winter action and adventure the Southern VT area affords.
Built in the 1940s as a 1 room cabin (complete with outhouse, open hearth, and spring on the property), the Lodge has been updated over the years thanks to the dedication of community volunteers - handcrafted furniture, artwork, and stonework all contribute to the rustic ambiance.
Minutes from the base of Mount Snow, skiing/boarding opportunities abound on the slopes, or at a nearby XC Ski Center. Sledding, ice skating, and tubing are all within 10-15 minutes drive. Great dining and drinking options can be found in the towns of Dover/West Dover (5-10 minute drive) and Wilmington (15 minute drive). Many local markets are close by for grocery shopping, and a laundromat and Shaws Market can be found in Wilmington for your laundry/grocery needs. Centrally located to other mountain resorts (Okemo, Bromley/Magic, Stratton, Killington), opportunities for skiing/boarding are endless. Our guests will appreciate having a warm, comfy place to shower, make a meal, rest, and enjoy the fire after a long day on the slopes.
Other adventurous, cultural pursuits found within an hour include: North Adams and Mass MoCA, historic Brattleboro (awesome concert venue here!), great shopping (Outlets in Manchester), and so much more.
NOTE: this is a shared, community space, with the lodge manager living on-site. Expect hostel style shared accommodations in a charming lodge built in the 1940s. Single/twin bunk beds are offered (bring pillows/sleeping bags), and a King size platform bed may be available (though not promised or guaranteed). There is a fully equipped, communal kitchen (pots, pans, crock and instant pots, etc.), 3 private bathrooms, 2 private shower stalls, 1 large communal dining table and 1 smaller communal breakfast area, and a shared living room with stone fireplace. An equipment room and cubbies are available to store your gear. There is a fire pit outside (bring your own wood). As Lodge accommodations are rustic and shared, we ask that only responsible, community-minded guests over 25 years of age consider staying with us. You are welcome to add one additional guest (provide photo ID) at the same rate at checkout.
