As advertised, the setting is beautiful, tranquil, peaceful. Our kids loved sleeping in the teepee while we were cozy in the library. We made some amazing pizza in the outdoor oven. Mary is an attentive, friendly, generous host who assisted us with our every need.
We hope to make a return trip. I highly recommend Salamander Hollow.

A very cute cabin for a very affordable price. Could comfortably sleep a couple and kids. Having heat, appliances, and water was great. My dog enjoyed the back yard and local park.

Weekend Trip to Salamander Hollow Healing Habitat
This little island really is an oasis. There's cell service so you're not totally 'off-grid' in terms of safety or general communication which is good. The dock is perfectly positioned for sun bathing (or solar charging devices), the lapping sounds of the water calming, and the birds calls (with the occasional car passing by) providing some sound dynamics. As others have mentioned, the shack is equipped with some past guests' supplies including salt, pepper, olive oil, a cooler, plasticware, and some paper plates in case you forgot those essentials. There are also coffee mugs and some pots/pans you can use. The grill outside worked great, even while the water level around the island was high and limited my use of the fire pit. I really loved being able to let me dog off leash and let her wander the tiny island freely, though she was afraid of going on the dock. Compost toilet was easy to use and convenient.
The loft tatami mat isn't all that comfortable so on the cold night that was only just above freezing, I moved the air mattress from the tent to the loft and that worked great. I took the "leave it better" seriously and helped organize some of the cabinet contents to make the rest of my and future stays zen. I hope future guests do too and treat this place kindly, as it is special and cool.

The whole site was fantastic. It was perfect for a rainy weekend. When the rain stopped there was so much to do outside. The fire pit was a big plus with a beautiful view. The Koi pond was full of big and small koi to enjoy. The weather was warm enough to see the honeybees come to life and buzzz around the bee cabin, the Teepee was really a very cool addition although we didn’t use it much due to the rain. We stayed in the library and it was warm and cozy with the wood burning stove. It was kept clean, accessible and had what you needed for a great weekend. The kitchen area with the fridge, grill and pizza oven were a huge plus and we took advantage. The bathroom was within walking distance, heated and very clean and had it to ourselves. Which was a big plus. I would stay here again. Such a unique stay. The property was so peaceful and relaxing. We were able to unwind and connect to nature here. Thank you Mary!

Weekend Trip to Salamander Hollow Healing Habitat
We had the absolute best time at Salamander Hollow! It was downpouring the weekend we stayed, but the covered space by the pizza oven and the tipi kept us dry and cozy. Our dog absolutely loved having free rein of the land, the sleeping quarters were spotless, and the sauna was a lovely touch. We all left feeling happy and rejuvenated! Mary is an incredibly responsive and kind host as well, so we felt totally prepared for our stay. I would venture to say there are few camping opportunities like this in the area, and would recommend people stay here without reservation!

I loved staying here. The property is beautiful and Mary made me feel so welcome and safe. Walking through the property was so peaceful and lead to state land. Then it was a great walk to the must stop Cedar Hill Farm. I would highly recommend Mary's for a relaxing restorative time. I plan to return and try the tips. Check this place out.

My partner, dog, and I stayed at the Kula Bata Tiny Kabin. It’s one of the first cabins on the property, separate from the rest of the rentals. However, we ended up having the entire property to ourselves. It was fun to check out the other rentals and hike around the acreage. The pictures don’t do the cabin justice! This place is really lovely. You can tell it’s been set up with a lot of care for all who visit. The sauna was fun and we enjoyed the fire pit as well. You must take the hike to the farm store. There were so many farm goods for purchase. We got steaks and grilled them back at camp. They were DELICIOUS! Be sure to bring some foil and cooking oil with you since we couldn’t find either in the kitchen- plenty of spices and everything else you may need to cook though! All in all, it was a treat to stay here. Super unique spot that will leave you feeling rested and restored.

Salamander Hollow is such a magickal healing place. The location is hidden away in the gorgeous mountain filled countryside of northern Massachusetts yet is thoughtfully curated by the hosts to include just about everything you need. My wife joyously spent all 4 nights in the very spacious tipi (even in a storm) warmed by her campfire while I got cozy by the wood stove in the cabin with the pup, sampling sections of the wonderfully eclectic books that lined the walls while jamming to whiskey blues streaming from the provided Amazon Echo Dot.
Mary is an excellent communicator and provided us with a full itinerary’s worth of information and nearby points of interest which was a tremendous aid. There is an amazing farm stand nearby that we bought raw milk, artisan cheeses, eggs and from.
The sacred medicine wheel and prayer circle across from the lighted koi pond were serene places to ground, center and reconnect.
Plenty of cooking options available: brick pizza oven (!!), gas grill, 2 burner electric stove, electric coffee/teapots, full size fridge/freezer - wonderful setup.
Mary even gifted us with a jar of the most exquisite, exotic honey I have ever sampled. I started and ended my vacation days with a mug of chai sweetened by that liquid gold and splash of raw milk from Chase Hill Farm. Heaven on earth- can’t wait to return!

I had an absolutely magical stay at Kula Bata Tiny Kabin InfraRed Sauna! The cabin is cozy and beautiful, and the sauna is such a nice feature, especially after a hike. The grounds around the cabin are beautiful, healthy, and peaceful, and there is deep meaning to all of the special touches in the woods around the place. I felt such a sense of flow in this place. It was healing, nourishing, and enlivening. I will definitely be back!

Mary's space was incredibly beautiful. The space felt sacred and magical and deeply relaxing.
The cabin had everything we could need and made for a wonderful weekend getaway. I've raved about this place to multiple people and insisted they come here. I'll certainly be returning!

Overview
Lying on the Merrimack River in southern New Hampshire, Manchester promises year-round fun, from hiking and boating on lakes and rivers in summer to skiing and tubing at the city’s McIntyre Ski Area in winter. The city is also an arts and cultural destination that is home to the historic Palace Theatre and Currier Museum. In the heart of New England, Manchester also has a convenient location that’s within an hour’s drive of Boston and the Atlantic Ocean and less than two hours from the White Mountains, Lakes Region, and many other top destinations in Maine, Vermont, and Massachusetts.
Where to go
Massabesic Lake
About a 10-minute drive west of downtown, Massabesic Lake covers 2,500 acres and is a popular spot for boating, sailing, and fishing. Around 50 miles of multi-use trails surround the lake for use by hikers and bikers.
Lakes Region
Home to the state’s largest lake, Lake Winnipesaukee, as well as Squam Lake, Newfound Lake, Ossipee Lake, and Lake Sunapee, New Hampshire's Lakes Region offers an abundance of outdoor activities, from paddling and swimming in the summer to ice fishing and skating in the winter. On the southwest shore of Lake Winnipesaukee, camping is available at Ellacoya State Park Campground, an hour’s drive north of Manchester.
White Mountains
The hardwood forests, alpine peaks, and towering mountains of the White Mountains National Forest are less than two hours from Manchester. Within the area, Echo Lake State Park offers canoeing, kayaking, and mountain biking, while Crawford Notch State Park has waterfalls and camping at its Dry River Campground.
When to go
While spring and summer are the most popular times to visit, Manchester and its surrounding area are four-season destinations. Summer is perfect for getting out onto the water; fall offers the chance to enjoy the spectacle of the landscape blazing with rich hues as the leaves turn, while winter promises snowy adventures, from skiing to ice fishing.
