THERE IS WIFI, PRIVATE HOT SHOWER and FLUSH TOILET.

EXCEPT FOR THE RECENTLY ADDED TULLY 'THOREAU' ISLAND.

Salamander Hollow is a private, evolving honeybee and human being

sanctuary on 17 acres of land abutting Massachusetts State Forest. We

currently have a one-room, wood stove warmed, cozy sleeping loft for one or two - with two benches below on either side of room - for two sleeping bags; plus, a separate 22 foot Sioux tipi with two cots. There are two chairs in the tipi, which if removed at night, make floor room for four other sleeping bags.

'Forest Bathing' for miles!

If you're a larger group booking Salamander Hollow main camp with its Sleeping Library, Tipi & Slovenian Beehive House, you might consider renting this additional Tiny Cabin want to entertain all in glamping style, utilizing its amenities; as well, providing another bathroom/shower and guest bedroom for those who prefer being indoors while in the great outdoors.

Note that Kula Bata Tiny Cabin abuts the wheelchair accessible larger bathroom/shower which is available to those at the Salamander Hollow main camp, yet you are secluded with your own private entry points and private bathroom.

A ten minute drive takes you to the parking area to hike up Tully Mountain. There is a grill, wood fired pizza oven, two fire pits and a hygienic Incinolet electric toilet on the property for night convenience, with small camp sinks for washing & teeth brushing.

Take a short hike off the property to organic Chase Hill Farm for milk, eggs, seasonal veggies, grass fed meat and other goodies. Say hello to their cows, chickens, pigs, goats, pups and kids. Nestled across the road from Salamander Hollow is Timber Haven Farm, where you can schedule your pickup of bacon and eggs, while loading up on delicious Owl Energy Bars for your adventurous excursions. For those interested in the glamping side of camping, you will enjoy a remote rustic experience with a few creature comforts to keep you well read, clean and fed. Please bring your own bedding - pillows, sleeping bags, comforter, teddy [xxxxxxxx] is a wall mounted blue tooth car radio/CD player in Sleeping Library, so bring your pre-digital favorites. Classical CDs to listen to. Lots of eclectic books to [xxxxxxxx] talkies, a set of 4, are available upon request. Chess & poker sets, too. 

Electric 2-burner stovetop and griddle upon request.

Bring fire-starters/newspaper for tinder. We suggest if you are staying more than a night or two in winter, you bring supplemental wood or we can direct you to a nearby stand. Next season, our own cut and split wood will be seasoned and available on site. We ask that you carry out trash and recyclables. 

An established Western facing four point sacred Medicine Wheel site being established on Askari Ridge - our name for the slope starting with the two fire pits - 'Askari' being Swahili for night guard. 

Here is where we envision a great touch-point area for those leading groups to be for a base-camp by day or night, where eventually a multi-use tenting platform/performance stage will be constructed for outdoor entertainment, creating an authentic 'stadium style' seating on the hill.

You will see on your way up to Salamander Hollow main clearing - the Kula Bata Tiny Kabin on the left of the dirt road- now available to rent with its small guest room for two, infrared sauna, hot shower, kitchenette, dishwasher and laundry.

> I had to find housing for a lot of actors for a TV shoot, and Salamander Hollow was awesome! Mary is extremely attentive and helpful, and goes out of her way to make sure people feel safe out in the woods and taken care of. I hear that they had a lot of fun out there. Also, Mary is awesome! So glad to have met her.

> Absolutely wonderful place to stay!!!!!! It was me, my older Mama and 4 medium to extra large dogs. We were very comfortable in the beehive cabin. Not that me and the dogs were inside much. It’s very clean, comfortable and secluded all off which I was looking for in a place to stay. Can’t recommend it more. We have already planned on coming back next year!!!!

> The most amazing and magical place. The hosts are even more perfect. The cabin itself has running water with a shower and full functioning bathroom. It is also equipped with a washer and dryer which is super handy for a guy who spent lots of time camping in the woods. The sauna is so fun and unique. There is a full functioning kitchen and a propane grill outside. Also there is a fire pit outside!🔥 There are walking trails in the woods great for dogs. Love this place. ❤️❤️❤️
