I love visiting Mary’s land. This is my second visit and I’ll definitely be back. Mary has thought of all the little details that makes for an excellent stay. The land is beautiful and there’s plenty to explore. Nearby hikes offer great opportunities to further get into nature but you’ll find all you need on Mary’s property.

A very peaceful weekend getaway! The cabin was quiet, cozy, and thoughtfully designed. The surrounding land is beautiful and private. The sauna and outdoor spaces are wonderful additions too. Mary was a warm and responsive host, and it’s clear she has put a lot of care into creating a restorative environment here. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quiet nature retreat!

Responsive host and a really, really cute interior living space! The kitchen and sauna were especially great. Mary was so, so sweet with all of her recommendations and replied very quickly when our car had issues getting stuck in the snow. The only issue (and it was very minor) is that the walls between the campsite bathroom and the bed were a bit thin, so we got jumpscared a little the first time we heard people next to us 😅

Kula Bata Tiny Kabin InfraRed Sauna
This enchanting tiny healing cabin was my haven, my refuge from the storm. The sauna was pure bliss, melting away stress and worries. The hosts were kind, compassionate, and effortlessly communicative, making me feel truly at home. What struck me most was the intentional space created for healing – it felt like a warm hug for my soul. I'm already counting down the days until I return. If you're seeking peace, healing, and a sense of belonging, look no further. This cabin is a sanctuary, and I'll be back."

We had a wonderful time in the tiny cabin. My husband and I traveled with our 1 year old and our dog. We had everything we needed for an escape from Boston. Even in freezing temps the cabin was super cozy. A special shout out to our host, Mary, for going above and beyond. Mary was the most attentive host and made sure we had everything we needed including leaving us a sled for our little one! I can’t recommend it enough. We will definitely be back during the warmer months!

Mary is an exceptional host—warm, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in creating a magical experience for her guests. Thank you, Mary, for opening your beautiful space to us! One of the absolute highlights of our stay was the pizza oven. It was such a hit—easy to use, incredibly fun, and the perfect activity to bring everyone together. We made some truly delicious creations and shared plenty of laughs around it. We also loved the variety of sleeping options throughout the property. With so many different configurations, everyone in our group found a cozy, comfortable place to settle in. It made the whole weekend feel relaxed, flexible, and tailored to us. We’re already talking about coming back. Salamander Hollow is a gem!

Tully “Thoreau” Island - magic!
Tully 'Thoreau' Island 1940s Shack
I stayed in the island for four nights and had an incredible time. It is truly a magical spot. There is something special about paddling out and arriving on a small piece of ground where you are only one there - a sort of threshold. The house (while it is uninsulated and “rough” around the edges, “shack” does not do it justice) was clean, inviting, and thoughtfully stocked. I hope to return soon. And I definitely recommend!

We liked the hiking trails and the location. It’s in a quiet area just off the side of the road. It was so peaceful. Although we lived locally, it didn’t feel like we were so close to home. Highly recommend. The sauna was nice to warm you up after getting chilly outside at night after a fire. Mary was extremely helpful and kind to us during our stay.

Tully 'Thoreau' Island 1940s Shack
How many people can say that they spent the night on a private island? We watched sunset and moonrise happen together in front of a campfire. We loved it. I enjoyed using the canoe to get to the island. It made it more of an adventure! It's pretty rustic. Don't expect a hotel and you won't be disappointed. We left our sleeping pads at home by mistake but made the best of what was there. No regrets, I would go back. There is no heat or electricity. That's nothing a good sleeping bag and headlamp won't take care of. I had the best sleep I have had in a long time. It's a great getaway without being too far away.
