Property was bought just as another project. However, after realizing the beautiful surroundings it only made sense to share it with others.

Escape to a charming two-bedroom park model camper on a serene micro-farm in Bay Shore, New York!
This cozy retreat features a full kitchen, a comfortable living room, climate control, and a lovely front deck. It’s the perfect romantic getaway for couples and can also accommodate two to three children comfortably.
Just minutes from the train to NYC, 10 minutes from the Fire Island ferries, 1 hour and 15 minutes to the North Fork wine country, and 1.5 hours from Montauk Point — it’s a great home base for your Long Island adventures.
🏡 The Space
Set on a small working homestead, this private park model camper is bright, roomy, and offers excellent climate control. Wake up to the crow of roosters, enjoy a relaxing campfire with free firewood, and make use of the shared outdoor amenities:
• Picnic tables
• Barbecue grills
• Cornhole
• Outdoor tables and chairs
• Indoor and outdoor hot showers
• Beach essentials like a cooler, umbrella, and chairs
It’s a fantastic spot for a couple or a family with children. This year in 2026 we are encouraging and offering self guided nature learning options. We are providing books on trees and plant identification. Bird watching books and necessary supplies. Books and supplies to enjoy astronomy. A nature trail “off property” but with direct entry from our homestead. Books and hands on learning about chickens and basic homesteading.
Please note: the top bunk bed is designed for children only and is not suitable for adults or two separate couples.

2 nights at Carpathia West
I took this trip with my adult son and I was as tranquil and a bounty of wildlife. The sunsets are great and you’re perch on a hill overlooking a lake so quite scenic. If you want to totally disconnect be at peace and rough it a little this is the place for you. There is a a generator for light, heat and a refrigerator. We took our own portable compost and a small rinse king system to wash up..
Cooking outside was a thrill for my son as well, we gather wood from the surroundings.
Konsztantine was very responsive and quite hospitable. Quick responses to whatever we asked. Best in class host. I will definitely be back. Highly recommended.

Very nice, exactly what we were looking for. Not too close to civilization, but also not in the middle of nowhere. Spot was spacious and very cute.

this campsite felt like a hidden oasis in their backyard! there was enough privacy where we felt like we were alone and the sound of the stream at night put us right to sleep.

It was a pretty cute little spot, the creek was probably the best part, we loved sitting beside it. The little shelter made the rain even better, we stayed inside the tent and listened to the rain while My husband played guitar
