This hand crafted cabin provides acres of seclusion and peace! You’ll begin your mornings with the sweeping views of the valleys and peaks of neighboring hills. Days can be filled with hiking or mountain bike trails for you alone! (10 exclusive acres of the 250) Visit nearby, loon inhabited, Walker Pond where fishing or kayaking are a favorite pastime. In the evenings, you can drop into Concord, NH…a short 20 minute ride for dinner or all the nightlife and shopping our capital city has to offer. We’d instead recommend staying right on the property-the sweeping sunsets won’t be surpassed. Grill your kabobs right over the open fire or in the propane provided grill. You know what follows…s’mores by your private campfire where the stars are brightest in the middle of this 250 acre farm. It’s sure to put a twinkle in your eye! It could seem difficult to pull yourself away, but the luxuriously appointed queen bed is sure to beckon you for a restful night…keep the many screened windows open! Please be aware there are two security cameras, one at the entrance and one at the Owls Nest Guest Only Sign. There are no cameras around the cabin.

Weekend Trip to Emerald Green Cabin

We had the best time at Lisa's cabin. The cabin was super comfortable and accomodating. It had a everything we need for our stay, from plenty of kitchen supplies to extra blankets. The outhouse was also very clean and just a short walk from the cabin. We also enjoyed the walk down to the river. This spot really has it all. We will be back!

The cabin was adorable. I enjoyed my weekend “unplugged.” There are solar lights which work perfect when the sun goes down. The cabin contained everything needed for cooking. There were several options for additional lights if needed - including lanterns to take to the outhouse. I enjoyed a quiet and relaxing weekend!

Weekend Trip to Emerald Green Cabin

We loved our stay at Emerald Green Cabin. We have stayed at many off-the-grid cabins, and this was one of our favorites. Very clean and comfortable, and we really enjoyed the ease of the kitchen set-up with the propane stove. The woodstove kept us plenty warm during the cold nights. Apart from some of the places we've stayed, you could notice the care and thought put into the design, build, and furnishment of the cabin. The path down to the river was fun and well-marked, though the water level was a little low due to the drought...as we expected. Lisa was an excellent host, responsive without being intrusive. We highly recommend the Emerald Green Cabin.

Weekend Trip to The Owls Nest @ Pustizzi Fruit Farm

Beautiful location, great host and overall an awesome place to stay! My wife and I plus our two dogs stayed here for my birthday weekend and loved it. The cabin is beautiful, the fire pit was perfect and had plenty of wood. It is secluded, but not hard to find, which we loved. We would stay here again! Thanks Joe

My favorite Hipcamp so far! Stunning property with amazing views, tons of privacy and almost no road noise & light pollution. The cabin is very spacious & comfortable and the outhouse is very clean. There’s even an actual flush toilet & shower. Joe met us with some fresh raspberries & a warm welcome. My after dark walk with my dogs was my most memorable moment - nothing but nighttime insect sounds, moonlight & the wind in the leaves. We will definitely be back - truly a very special place!

This Hipcamp was absolutely gorgeous. The land was filled with wildflowers and fruit, and you can tell so much heart and soul went into creating and caring for this property. It’s peaceful, relaxing, and even better than the pictures online. The house was cozy and comfy with everything we needed to cook and enjoy our stay. The view, the outhouse, so much attention to detail! Truly a special spot—we’ll definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to The Owls Nest @ Pustizzi Fruit Farm

Joe is a great host! My wife and I absolutely loved our stay this weekend. The setting is very private, lending quite the romantic and relaxing feel. The cabin itself was very comfortable and clean, with stunning views over the hills and the meadow in front. It’s so well stocked that we only had to bring clothes, food, and drinking water. There’s even a pour over coffee setup! If you wait until late afternoon when the sun has warmed up the water tank, you can shower while looking over the majestic ridge. While we were unable to take advantage of the brick oven pizza this time, we came home with an abundance of fresh blueberries picked right from the farm!

Weekend Trip to The Owls Nest @ Pustizzi Fruit Farm

We were looking for a bit of post-hiking R&R with our dog, and we came to the right place. The Owl's Nest combined a beautiful and secluded landscape with a cabin that was artfully and thoughtfully crafted from top to bottom. As previous commenters have noted, despite it's cozy size, we didn't feel as though any detail was missed. The outdoor shower was cold but a much appreciated treat after the morning. Once we were cleaned up all of the supplies were ready for us to make a fire and enjoy the view over a meal, and finally to retreat back to the cabin where the view was still the highlight through the many windows. We loved our stay and will definitely not hesitate to visit again.

I stayed at the cabin for 4 days with my two dogs. The quiet and peaceful spot was perfect. The cabin had all need with plenty of solar lights and the battery operated fan in the bedroom was a lifesaver on the hot nights. We explored the area during the day and it’s just beautiful up there. Lorraine and Jay respected my privacy but they were close by if I needed anything. I will definitely be back.

Weekend Trip to The Owls Nest @ Pustizzi Fruit Farm

The Owl's Nest was amazing. The views were spectacular!!! Joseph definitely put his heart and soul into building the cabin and creating a wonderful romantic space to either relax or go hiking. He also offers sawmilling sessions but we didn't have enough time there. It was so quiet and serene. Our dog absolutely loved the space, she got to roam free and off leash. We got to see an owl. We heard a moose but never saw it probably because of our dog. The whole cabin is hand built, I was just amazed at the workmanship that went into this whole place. Everything was well thought out. You don't need to come with anything, he has everything there for you. We will definitely be going back, and we will be recommending Owl's Nest to whomever wants to just get away from the day to day life and de-stress.

Weekend Trip to Red Maple Farm Riverside Cabin

Denise’s campsite is a true gem! Everything about the experience was too notch. The site was very clean and prepared when we got there. In fact, it’s so well-done that you quickly forget the site is at the back of someone’s property. The cabin was perfect. Large enough for the four of us to hang when it rained and just chill. The beds were comfortable. We all just brought sleeping bags and used them on the bed. The site itself was great. Plenty of wood, chairs, and cookware. The shower warms up quickly and is just what you need to keep fresh. Highly recommend this spot. It was the perfect spot for our annual guy’s weekend.
