Get away from it all when you stay under the stars - and we mean ALL THE STARS. Rustic off-grid camping experience, with all you need to enjoy time in nature. Canvas tent on an elevated platform, with a queen bed, firepit, rustic toilet, outdoor cooking, and eating area, off a dirt road with an amazing view. This is on our 25-acre property, 400 feet away from anyone! You will also be a 10-minute drive to Stamford, where there is a grocery store, restaurants, coffee shops, and more, and a 4-minute drive to downtown Jefferson, which has some restaurants, gas station, and other amenities. Picture this: you and your special someone, nestled in a cozy canvas tent, gazing up at a canvas of a million stars – unblemished by light pollution. No city hum, no social media notifications, just the crackling fire and the symphony of crickets serenading you. This isn't just camping, it's an escape to a world built for two, crafted on a secluded 25-acre property. Your haven awaits on an elevated platform, offering not just a dreamy view but a touch of luxury. A queen-sized bed beckons after a day of exploring, promising nights of comfortable closeness under the endless tapestry of stars. But the magic extends beyond the tent. Imagine whipping up a romantic campside dinner in the rustic outdoor kitchen, the aroma of woodsmoke mingling with laughter and whispered secrets. Share stories and dreams by the crackling firepit, the flames painting dancing shadows on your faces. Let the worries of the daily grind melt away with every s'more you roast. This isn't complete isolation, though. When the mood strikes for a touch of civilization, a quick 10-minute drive takes you to Stamford, brimming with charming cafes, local restaurants, and grocery stores to stock up on picnic provisions. Need a last-minute gift or a craving for a gourmet meal? Downtown Jefferson, just 4 minutes away, offers a delightful selection. The beauty lies in the perfect balance – an escape into the heart of nature, yet close enough to the comforts of small-town life. It's an experience designed for reconnection, for rekindling the spark, for creating memories that will linger long after the embers of the campfire fade. Is this the getaway you and your love have been yearning for?

Two hours from NYC, close to skiing (hunter mountain/ Windham , Kaaterskill falls, Woodstock, Hudson, Saugerties. FAQ Is my rental secluded? Our property is 8 acres, exactly the same as seven football fields. From your private deck and the big window, you will not see any other houses as far as eyes can see. We added fence panels to make it even more private. We have attached a satellite picture of the property to give you a better idea. As required by zoning law, there is a larger cabin on the property. But it is far enough and visually isolated enough that you won't feel it's presence (at least from the feedback we got from other guests.) We are located in a rural hamlet and a mile down the road there is a tiny town with two cafes , two bars and two restaurants. But your place is one New York block distance away from the street towards tree filled uninhabited area, adding to the sense of seclusion. I have never been in a tiny house, what can I expect? The "tiny house nation" style tiny houses are around 144 to 250 sqft, ours is 144 sqft. So,we are on the "smaller" side. Our guests have commented that its actually does not feel cramped. You will have heating, AC, hot shower, flushing toilet, kitchenette for basic cooking, small fridge, queen bed etc. You also have a private deck and a private outdoor fireplace to make S'mores and to grill. Are pets allowed? We just require that they should never be left alone and peace pick up after them. Our cleaning company charges a pet fee. If you forgot to pay it or decided to bring a pet last minute, please leave the amount as a tip to the cleaners. That way the cleaners get to keep the money and then they won't report the pet to the cleaning company. This also saves us the hassle of going back and forth with the cleaning company, reviewing the camera footage and ultimately paying it out of our own pockets. Also, please keep in mind that the house is really small at 144 sqft which may be too cramped for some large dogs. I work from home, how is the WiFi? We have had multiple guests who worked from home during the pandemic. Our provider is spectrum (the monopoly in the area). Luckily, outages are very rare and get fixed promptly (you may have to restart the router). Speed is always good for multiple simultaneous video calls and movie streaming. Do you provide firewood? Not yet! You do not need firewood to heat the house. If you want to use the outdoor fireplace, look for 'Campwood' signs and buy from our neighbors.(Also @ Walmart, Stewart gas stations etc.) What about Towels-Soap-Linens-Hot water? Is there heating/cooling? Can we cook? Yes! Yes! Yes! and Yes!. Think of all the amenities a hotel provides plus a tiny kitchen. Hot plate, refrigerator, electric kettle, drip coffee, plates, cutlery - we have all that we could cram into the tiny space. Our guests use the outdoor fireplace for BBQ and smores! Can I check in early? or Check out late? No and Yes. Due to the super strict covid19 cleaning process, we can no longer offer early check in. However, we can offer late checkout up to an hour. Please inform us in advance so that the cleaning crew can adjust accordingly.

Such a beautiful place for glamping! Took my boyfriend here since he’s never gone camping and this was a perfect “camping lite” experience. The bed was so comfy and had plenty of blankets for late October - and we also utilized the Mr Heater that was provided and we were plenty warm. Definitely want to come back for more than one night!

Weekend Trip to Runamuk Farm

Cabin D was so sweet and charming. We watched the sunset over the field and in the morning watched the field brighten as the sun rose through the woods behind us. There was a small heater available, but we didn't use it. The cups, silverware, cloth napkins and coffee and coffee put were a perfect touch. I did bring my favorite sleeping bags (zipped together) so we were warm when we woke up to 36°F in the morning, but I am sure the blankets provided would have been just as cozy. It was so wonderful to be able to watch the world through so many windows. I will definitely be back in the future!

What a lovely spot. I hesitate to promote it because I want it all to myself. It was everything you want and nothing you don’t. Complete privacy. Don’t forget to stack your rocks at the top of the waterfall!

Such a lovely spot on a farm in the woods! The tiny house had plenty of blankets and a very comfortable mattress so getting out of the bed when it was 36 degrees was quite difficult. Our dogs loved running around the field just off the front porch of the house. Such a joy seeing them be so happy. :) We will definitely be back and hopefully with some friends in one of the other tiny houses.

We’ve stayed at this farm twice now and both times were so lovely and such a unique experience! Bonnie is always very accommodating. We’ve stayed at sites B and D and they are both beautiful and cozy. The view and atmosphere is amazing, and the little bedrooms are extremely cozy with plenty of warm blankets. I’m sure we will be back again sometime :)

Jules and Jerome met us at the tipi with their dogs and we immediately knew it would be a wonderful stay. The tipi itself was beautiful, with plenty of firewood for the woodstove, and the surrounding farmland was stunning, along with the goats, horses, and dogs. The outhouse nearby was lovely as well. Beautiful fields and forest trails on their land too. Highly recommend staying there!

3 nights at Runamuk Farm

We had a great weekend at Runamok! The cabin was beautiful and so clean. The view was unbeatable with the sunrise and sunsets over the mountains especially this time of year with the leaves starting to change colors. We stayed three nights and there were some nice essentials to help us make dinner each night (grate to put over the fire, gas burner to boil water, silverware set). The space was private and our dog loved being off leash with room to roam without worrying about him getting near the other cabins. Would love to come back!

Total paradise. The water is clear and refreshing and the cabin adds convenience without taking away from the beautiful scenery. Very private, lots to do and explore on the property and also within a very short drive. It was hard to leave and we can’t wait to return.
