Sweet Retreat and Yurt Farm

1 site · Lodging14 acres · Mason, NH
Welcome to Sweet Retreat and Yurt Farm! Come experience a romantic, private four season yurt experience in a secluded piece of nature on our 14 acre property, enveloped by a variety of tall trees and distant view of the farms pasture and barn. Whether you are looking for a romantic getaway for two, a family or group experience, the yurt provides 492 sq. ft. of comfortable space with top quality amenities, including Wi-Fi, and is available for all seasons: rain, snow or sunshine. There is a viewable pond and two running brooks on the property. We have Nigerian Dwarf goats, numerous chicken breeds and ducks. When we are available, you may interact with the farm animals if desired. The small town of Mason has a number of homesteads/farms nearby, a fine dining restaurant, a Maple House and restaurant, a venue for live concerts of talented singers/bands, and a swimmable quarry. PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION IN FULL BEFORE BOOKING WITH US. BOOKING THE PROPERTY ARE ACCEPTANCE OF THESE TERMS AND RULES. Be mindful that we have multiple animals on our little farm including a barn cat, dog, goats, chickens, and ducks. As such, you may hear animal noises. However, the barn is approximately 400 feet away from the yurt where most of the animals stay. We have made extensive efforts to make your stay as comfortable as possible. However, the Yurt is a “Glamping” (Glorified Camping) experience. As such, here are some following considerations before you decide to book our yurt: 1. The walkway from the parking area to the yurt is approximately 150 yards long over a grassy path that can be wet, uneven and in the winter covered with snow or ice. Wear appropriate footwear. 2. The yurt is heated by a wood stove. You will need to build a fire and maintain it in the wood stove to keep warm in the winter months. We provide the tools, the wood and the training for those who need it. If you are away from the yurt all day, you will need to restart the fire to get the yurt back to a comfortable temperature. 3. Yurt guests exclusively have access to the outhouse lavatory for all bathroom needs. We utilize a composting bag/toilet in the outhouse, and guests must follow the posted instructions related to its use. 4. The outhouse is NOT insulated. It can be cold in the winter. 5. The outdoor shower is available for guest use during the warm months (approximately May through October, or when outdoor temperatures are consistently above freezing). There is a water hose with shower spray nozzle and solar shower bags for warmer water at the shower stall. 6. We DO NOT have hot running water at the yurt. There is up to an 18 gallon container over the sink for cleansing needs, washing dishes, etc…Refills may be required. Guests may boil water in the kettle for hot water needs. 7. Guests are welcome to use all items in the kitchen. The kitchen has all of your cooking needs. 8. The yurt is located on a farm. Although unlikely, guests may encounter associated sounds and smells related to raising animals during their stay with us. If you proceed to book a stay, you can expect to have a unique lodging experience that will detach you from the routine and reconnect you to nature and those you are experiencing it with. Careful consideration has been taken to design and furnish the space to provide you with a comfortable, memorable experience. From the artistic pieces, to the cozy bed and lounge chairs, cast iron wood stove, air conditioner and outdoor fire-pit; to name a few. Clean towels, linens, robes and slippers (robes and slippers are provided during the winter months and slippers are for you to keep) are provided, and there are extra blankets stored in the chest and round stools for those extra cold nights. The composting outhouse is just a few steps away from the door. It has a skylight and a solar lamp during night time hours. The yurt area is private, but you may experience wildlife such as deer, fox, bunny or other sightings. You may see our goats in the fenced pasture from a healthy distance, but you may choose to approach them at the fence, if desired. You will get a sense of what homesteading life is like in rural New Hampshire. Cell carriers may be spotty. AT&;T works best. Wi-Fi is provided with speeds up to 140 mbps. Currently there isn't a television provided. You may bring a laptop or other screened device to stream your favorite television shows. You must provide your own subscription account/login. DOGS: When you book, please confirm these rules and be sure your reservation includes your pup. > One dog maximum > Your dog is at least one year old and FULLY potty trained > He or she gets along with other dogs - we have a dog and cat here > Dog stays off all furniture - this is important to us and to our future guests; please note that we charge a minimum additional $250 cleaning fee if this rule is broken > Please bring bags and pick up waste > Dog stays with you when you go out and is not left alone in the space COLD SEASON VISITORS: In your reservation request, please acknowledge you have read and understood the three important points below. The yurt is a wonderful and cozy place to be in the cold season. That said, there are some unique aspects to staying in the yurt during winter that you should review and feel good about: 1. Making fire in a wood stove is an enjoyable feeling, AND, you must do it well in order to stay warm. If you have never worked with a wood stove before, plan on reading the detailed instructions we have left you. We would also highly recommend you come before dark rather than late at night. 2. There is a lovely outdoor shower space outside the yurt, next to the outhouse. It is useable anytime during the year; however, during the cold months it will likely be intolerable. We DO NOT have running water to the shower space area. During the warmer months of the year, solar water shower bags are provided. Soap and Towels are provided. 3. The yurt is about 400 feet (a 2 minute flat walk) from your parking spot. That said, it's an easy walk. WHAT TO BRING: We provide all bedding, linens, pillows, towels, robes and slippers (robes and slippers are provided during winter months only and slippers are for you to keep). We provide all of the basic bbq/cooking supplies. There is a coffee/Nespresso machine provided, including coffee and coffee pods, snacks and fresh farm eggs when in season. We encourage you to bring appropriate clothing and foot wear for the season you visit, including jackets, shoes, beach towels if you will be swimming in the summer, slippers and cozy layers for the cold months, and foods and drinks (coffee is provided). If you are interested in streaming your favorite shows, we recommend you bring your screened devices (i.e. laptop). SUMMER VISITORS: We can provide suggestions in our area for great hikes, swimming holes, paddling spots, and the best ice cream stands. There is a viewable pond on the property; however, there is No Swimming allowed in the pond. The yurt has a window A/C and high velocity fan to keep you cooler during the hot summer months. It is recommended you bring ear plugs to drown out the air conditioner noise. Two Night Minimum on Friday and/or Saturday. NH Department of Revenue Administration License No. 104422

Diamond Pond, situated on Diamond Pond Road in Stewartstown, NH, is a picturesque lake/pond spanning 181 acres and reaching depths of 120 feet. It's a fisherman’s paradise, teeming with lake trout, rainbow trout, and yellow perch. Notably, on February 27, 2020, the state record lake trout was caught here, measuring 40” in length, weighing 37.65 lbs, with a 27” girth, and estimated to be 50 to 60 years old. Looking for other activities? You could explore Ride the Wilds, which offers 8000 miles of OHRV trails in Coos County (rentals available locally). There are also numerous hiking trails, including Table Rock and Mount Monadnock (VT), along with opportunities for bicycling and mountain biking on endless miles of trails. Additionally, the rental of the camp includes the use of 3 kayaks and a paddleboard. WiFi with Hulu and Netflix included. The cabin features a combined living room/dining room/kitchen, three bedrooms, and a composting toilet. While there is no running water in the camp, there is an outside faucet providing drinking water. HOUSE RULES: General: Please park your car, front in, towards the camp – there is room for two (2). No smoking inside and dispose of butts safely, if you wish to smoke outside. There is no running water other than the outside faucet located in the bathroom. The kitchen sinks are usable but you will have to haul the water from the bathroom. The toilet is a waterless toilet. It basically works like an ordinary porcelain toilet. The directions of how to use are posted on the walls in the bathroom. Please do not take a bath in Diamond Pond. The water is pristine – many camps get their drinking water from the pond. The shower is special! It utilizes a Ivation Portable Shower. You heat up water in the bucket provided, put the pump in the heated water and commence taking your shower. If you prefer, two (2) miles away is Coleman State Park Campground that has coin operated showers ($ .25/3 minutes), washers ($ 1.00 per use) and dryers ($ 1.50 per use.

Weekend Trip to Hussey Mountain Tree Farm
Came for a weekend stay with my boyfriend and our three big dogs — we loved camping here! It was a beautiful weekend all around. Our dogs were off-leash the entire time and truly lived their best lives. Eben was the BEST host. We slept in the clouds, woke up to stunning views, snacked on the berry bushes around camp, hiked to the summit, snapped some unforgettable photos, and had an epic bonfire with a jaw-dropping overlook. Best of all? We read books and napped in the hammocks — the perfect way to enjoy the mountain breeze and escape the July sun. There’s a short (0.3 mile) hike to get to the site — it’s steep but well-maintained. We actually liked the little challenge and appreciated the workout before diving into full-on lounge mode with s’mores and snacks. We’re already planning our next trip back. Can’t wait!

Such a cool spot! The RV site is pristine and has a fantastic setup with extras like tables, string lights, sink etc that are so helpful. Eben is a great host, gave us tons of ideas of things to do on the property as well as nearby. The property is SO cool, we spent an afternoon exploring the mountain - it's clear he takes incredible care of his land, the trails are well maintained and marked, the blueberry patches were SO amazing, and we got to check out the tent sites which also had fantastic setups with lots of extras. We had a great time!

This was our 3rd time back to Hussey Mtn. Site 4 is our spot. My son and I have been able to create good memories each visit and the 3rd stay was just as good as the first two. Ebon, the property owner, is always available to answer q’s and he consistently adds nice touches to the property every year. Everything is well maintained and great attention to detail. He knows what campers need on site to be comfortable. So, chalking another trip on the board. Reserve a site and see for yourself.

Great views, awesome host. He was Super helpful and knowledgeable about the area and even gave us information about our next stop on our trip in Maine. We stayed at site 3 which is a short hike up the mountain and well worth it. The wild blueberries everywhere and rocky clearings were a great experience. I highly recommend going with light gear if you’re staying on site 3, or opting for paying the fee to have your gear taken up. I decided to carry some of mine up at first, but after hiking up to check out the trail I was happy to pay the fee.

Weekend Trip to Hussey Mountain Tree Farm
I cannot say enough good things about this location. Eben, the host, has turned the side of a mountain into an inviting and private place to rest and explore. Me, my husband and dog stayed for 2 nights and even though we got a raining day/night the campsite is so magical that the bad weather didn’t interrupt our ability to have fun and enjoy the gorgeous view. Eben is kind and very helpful. You can see how much he cares about his land. He keeps his acreage as wild as possible while still providing a lot of creature comforts at the site. We cannot wait to come back and next time it will be for more than 2 night

Craig was an extremely responsive host...often responding in a few minutes. He stopped by for a bike ride and to show me around the campsite. We stayed in what was a storage shed outfitted with beds, chairs, solar USB charger, a dresser and a 5 gal. water cooler. It was hot and stuffy in there, but we brought a battery powered fan which kept us cool. The shed was extremely clean. We used the composting toilet, which worked fine. There are picnic tables, a fire ring and a fire pit. There is also a gas grill that we did not use. Campsite is a 15 minute drive from Franconia Notch State Park and 5 minutes from downtown Littleton, which has plenty of eateries, a movie theatre and retail stores.

We picked a hot week- and still had some beautiful nights and a cool breeze with a view from our hammocks. He was attentive with anything we needed and even helped us get all of our gear up on the heat.

Weekend Trip to Owl's Nest
I had a great time camping at Owl’s nest. The land is full of beautiful things to see and lots to explore. We hiked into our site (Starry) just a short distance from the parking area and set up 2 small tents, 2 hammocks and our cooking table with room to spare. We were happy to find hand crafted log benches around the fire pit and loads of wood all around the area. Large Fire wood bundles were available to buy for 5 dollars as well. Starry is the larger of the single campsites and as we had need to set up 2 tents we requested to change sites from Mossy to Starry. Ryan had no problem with the last minute change which I appreciated greatly. We hiked around the trails and explored the land which has a beautiful brook with waterfalls and huge boulders. The trails are clean and well marked. While relaxing in our hammocks we heard Owls, Veery, multiple assorted warblers and many other birds. We had red squirrels check us out and while walking back from our car in the evening we got to watch a Barred Owl fly from tree to tree right in front of us. We had a peaceful and magical weekend. Ryan has an outhouse set up for all campers and it was clean, brightly lit and centrally located for the convenience of all campers. Thanks for a great weekend at your beautiful land Ryan. We would love to come back soon.

Weekend Trip to Hussey Mountain Tree Farm
Our host, Eben, has created a beautiful oasis for campers. So many little touches that make the place extra special. We were at the BASECAMP site which is located at the front of the mountain. The site itself was beautifully adorned with flowering plants and tiny pine trees. It had a super clean grill and picknick table with a sideboard with station for food prep. The firepit was huge and even even set it up with kindling for the first fire !! On the left of the dining area there was a adorable outdoor shower and a dishwashing station. Couldn’t ask for more ! The trails were clearly marked with signs and a printed map. Unfortunately it rained during our stay so we didn’t get much hiking in but we did enjoy the seacoast arwa !! So much fun. Highly recommend Eben’s spot !

Hussey Mountain Tree Farm

7 sites · RVs, Tents87 acres · Farmington, NH
ATFS Certified Tree Farm Est. 2004 Camp with your group at our private Tree Farm / Conservation / Recreation Area. Established in 2004, we are an 87 acre ATFS certified Tree Farm located in the Blue Hills Range in the Foothills to NH’s White Mountains. Choose from one of four unique sites / outdoor spaces to best fit your camping needs; book a combination to reserve a section of the mountain, or book all four sites for total privacy or for events. Our Farm spans the northerly side of Hussey Mountain from the base to the summit. Guests are provided with private access to several miles of multi-use nature trails, multiple scenic lookouts, a three acre PYO blueberry maze, and a dock on our private eight acre pond with available boat rentals. At the 2WD shared parking area guests are provided with a outdoor shower with hot and cold water, a portable toilet, garden hose for washing, a power strip for charging devices, and a spigot with potable water for filling containers. Over two decades ago we created our first campsite for the purpose of hosting family and friends. Folks enjoyed camping on the mountain so much they often would choose our farm over traditional campgrounds. Hosting campers became a regular weekend event, and to accommodate more people we created three more sites spread out across the property. In 2020, we came across the Hipcamp app and started offering private reservations to the public. Since, we have been hosting campers on a daily basis and continuously improving our sites / infrastructure / views. We’re excited to see what the next two decades hold; come join us on the mountain! Things to do on the mountain SPRING-FALL include… Hiking on several miles of maintained nature trails marked with clear signage for easy day/night navigation. Relaxing/taking in the scenery from several scenic lookouts located on and around the mountain’s summit; combined they provide a 360-degree view spanning from the NH/ME Seacoast to the White Mountains of NH, to the Green Mountains of VT. Fishing, paddling, swimming, or relaxing on our dock. Bird/wildlife watching, berry picking, stargazing and leaf peeping. This is a place you can easily spend a few days and keep busy!

Lost Cloud Farm

2 sites · RVs, Tents115 acres · Newport, NH
We offer over one hundred acres of open rolling meadows and hayfields, lined with old stonewalls lining the outline of a time when fields were cleared by hand and horse. Along your travels exploring you will find deer paths, and wild turkeys throughout the pine covered floor of the forest. Fireflies are out every night with the most beautiful stars displayed that you could ever imagine. As a young girl these were our stomping grounds galloping through the fields on our horses, and venturing into the forest. Catching frogs by the pond and late at night.... maybe with a favorite boy gazing at the stars and smiling at one another gently in the moonlight. It's a place as young adults we could have campfires a blazing and many friends pitching a tent to stay the night! It's a special place that encompasses all that one would want. We welcome you to experience the magic and adventure here with us. We have several locations that have campfire set ups waiting with your first firewood waiting! Pitch a tent, or ask us to do so for you! Come visit the farm animals, pick a fresh apple off of one of the trees. Pick your own wildflowers to take home with you. Coming as a family, tractor ride, come pick your own eggs.. bring your friendly dog to frolic through the fields, or to cool off in the pond.

Camping in New Hampshire with horseback riding guide

Overview

Home to Mount Washington, the highest mountain in the northeast, and brimming with lakes, rivers, and miles of hiking trails, New Hampshire serves up four-season fun for outdoor enthusiasts. From hiking, mountain biking, backpacking, fishing, and swimming in summer to cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and downhill skiing in winter, New Hampshire has something for every type of traveler whether you’re going solo or looking for a family adventure. New Hampshire state parks offer a wide variety of camping experiences from primitive tent sites to lakeside RV spots with prime mountain views.

Where to go

Mount Washington

Sitting at 6,288 feet in eastern New Hampshire, Mount Washington is the tallest peak in New England, famous for its extreme weather. (The highest recorded wind speed outside of a tornado, 231 miles per hour, was measured at the Mount Washington Observatory atop the summit.) Mount Washington is on the Appalachian Trail and visitors can hike, drive, or take the Mount Washington Cog Railway up to the summit.

Franconia Notch State Park

In the heart of the White Mountains, Franconia Notch State Park is one of the most family-friendly state parks in New Hampshire and packed with natural wonders including Flume Gorge, Cloudland Falls, and Echo Lake. Lafayette Place Campground is a nice family campground right in the center of the park, near many trailheads and top sights, with a camp store and 97 campsites ideal for tent campers. Nearby Cannon Mountain RV Park offers seven RV sites with full hook-ups and a dump station.

White Mountain National Forest

The 800,000-acre White Mountain National Forest offers some of the best camping in the state. Renowned for its mountain scenery, abundant wildlife, and stunning fall foliage, the park is home to over a thousand miles of trails that weave through the rugged terrain for hikers, mountain bikers, snowshoers, ATVs, and snowmobiles. Overnight visitors will find 23 national forest campgrounds, backcountry huts, and cabin rentals.

When to go

Summer through early fall is the best time for camping, hiking, canoeing, and kayaking in New Hampshire. Snow tends to linger on peaks into early June, and mosquitoes can be the most troublesome in July. Fall, when the changing leaves are at their peak, is an especially popular time to visit. Be sure to make camping reservations during this time well in advance. Some New Hampshire state park campgrounds, including Lafayette Place in Franconia Notch, remain open year-round, although off-season services are limited.

Know before you go

  1. Camping reservations can be made up to 11 months in advance online or over the phone for New Hampshire state parks. Rates vary by the campground, with senior rates available. Monadnock State Park, Bear Brook State Park, Pawtuckaway State Park, and White Lake State Park feature some of the most popular New Hampshire campgrounds; advanced reservations are strongly recommended. 
  2. Many New Hampshire state parks have pet restrictions. Some do not allow them at all and others prohibit them on beaches, swimming areas, and picnic areas.
  3. Numerous backcountry campsites and shelters exist in the White Mountains. Most are free to use as long as you adhere to White Mountain National Forest backcountry camping rules. 
  4. Weather in New Hampshire can be challenging and unpredictable. Come prepared with rain gear and extra layers, even in summer.
