Salamander Hollow Healing Habitat

All Yours: 17 Acres & 4 Glamp Spots

Me and my family loved it. Upon arriving my girls were left 2 full baskets of fish food and lollipops which was their favorite thing. We even got to see inside the beehive to see some new bees added. Even went above and beyond to help my boyfriend find his wallet after we left. Absolutely loved it. Best experience!!

SMALL GROUP RETREAT

Group trip ·

I held a intimate retreat weekend for 12 women at Salamander Hollow and found the place to be delightful. We had a few hiccups getting settled in; but the hosts were quick to rectify the inconveniences. I had guest coming in from 7 states and found the location from the Boston airport to be beneficial. All and all it was a great time! spreading love-salicrow

We loved staying at this magical cabin on the Island! Everything was so perfect and inspiring! We had initially booked for one night and as soon as we checked in we decided to extend for a second night. This beautiful spot is perfect for swimming, fishing, bird watching and relaxing. Mary was extremely responsive and kind, gave us great local recommendations. We have already booked our next trip there and cannot wait to be back!

Kula Bata Kabin

Kula Bata Kabin was the perfect landing pad on our bike trip around the pioneer valley. A truly wonderful space for reflection! I’ll be back soon ☺️

We absolutely loved the cabin! So charming, and it had everything you need. Mary provided detailed and useful information about the cabin itself and beautiful surrounding area. The sauna just took it over the top! Will definitely stay here again.

Gorgeous property with charming library and pizza pavilion. Mary is a warm and thoughtful host who helped make our stay (for two friends and our 5 yr old daughters) just wonderful. Would come back again for sure!

Serenity for the Soul

This was one of the best places I have camped! Mary was very clear with her instructions and very informative regarding stores & other such things in the area we may need. We absolutely LOVED staying in the teepee. It was very serene walking around the property & hearing nothing but the birds, bees, & trees. Listening to the frogs in the koi pond at night was a very peaceful way to fall asleep. I HIGHLY recommend this spot for nature lovers and even first time campers as you'll have all the amenities you need. I can't wait to go back in the Fall! 💓

Just book it!

With kids ·

Salamander Hollow is a magical place. I could write an essay about it but to put it succinctly: What you see online is very cute but doesn't even start to do it justice. If you're on the fence, just book it. Also, this is my first Hipcamp experience but I've done many AirBnbs, and I can confidently say that Mary was the best host ever. Above and beyond helpful. 10 stars!!!

We absolutely love this place! It is our second time here and even though we had rain both times, we don't love it any less. The cabin has a lot of charm and little bit of everything you could need. It is peaceful and serene with so much privacy and nothing but lake and sky. And a choir of frogs and bird songs. Mary is the most gracious host! Can't wait until next time.

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.

Private Island

I loved Tully island and paddling around the pond. It was mostly quiet and waking up to the birds was very relaxing. The beaver scared us with his slapping around dusk but the island was an amazing experience.

We had a wonderful family weekend at Salamander Hollow! The accommodations were perfect for us to enjoy a delicious wood-fired pizza making experience, s'mores in the tipi one evening and sleeping in the bee cabin. Despite the rainy weather we had a wonderful time walking the beautiful property, and staying cozy for meals and evenings. Mary is a wonderful host and has lots of helpful recommendations for the area. We will definitely be back!

Rainy weekend camping.

With pets ·

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!

Oasis on water

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.

Magical experience

A quaint tiny cabin with unique and aesthetically pleasing decor. We enjoyed every second of the Mother’s Day weekend in this magical place. Look forward to going back again.

Magical getaway in the woods!

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!

We loved this unique spot. The sleeping library was cozy, the tipi was relaxing and the pizza oven was a ton of fun to use. I'll definitely keep this on my list of places to go back to when I want some quiet restorative time.

Relaxing Retreat

With pets ·

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.

Cabin with a sauna and fire pit!

With pets ·

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.

What a magical place!

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!

A Sacred Serene Gem

With pets ·

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!
