Our extra large tent can hold a family/friend group of up to 8 comfortably, but is also cozy enough for a couple's getaway. Your private campsite is on the edge of a mixed-wood forest. Deer roam free and you will surely hear the call of coyotes and owls at night. Centrally located within 10 minutes of downtown Amherst, 15 minutes to downtown Northampton, this tent is the perfect base camp to access all that this region has to offer. Flea markets and farmers markets on the weekends, malls, museums and numerous restaurants in the area should you decide to venture out for a bite to eat. Holland Glen, a popular hiking spot with waterfalls and swimming holes is a quick 3-minute drive to the trail head. It is an easy 1-mile ride to the start of the Norwotuck Rail Trail a paved bike path through wetlands and rolling farmland. Or simply stay put, unplug, and relax in one of the hammocks or enjoy our one of a kind wood-fired hot tubs! Our guests are welcome to wander around our little homestead have your coffee in the pollinator patch and watch the hummingbirds, butterflies and bees do their thing. Feed the chickens, then nibble your way through our berry patches, fruit trees and gardens and experience what it is like to live simply in New England. Cook a meal over the fire - we will provide the cast iron pans and dishes if needed. ***This past winter was hard on our tent. There are stains that have been cleaned but will not budge. The canvas stretched and the zipper no longer closes all of the way. We are lowering the cost of the site until a new tent arrives. In the meantime if you are wanting a more fancy glamping experience as us about our brand new bell tent site! Learn more about this land: A private campsite on the edge of a woodland forest. Deer roam free and you will surely hear the coyotes call at night. Centrally located within minutes of Amherst and Northampton, this tent is the perfect base camp to this vibrant region. Relax in the hammock with a good book, play a rowdy game of corn hole, sip your coffee in our pollinator patch, tell stories by the campfire or rent our projector for the night for a fun in-tent movie!

Fern Gully Sanctuary

92% (6)
Tiny home · Sleeps 2
Fern Gully Sanctuary is an absolute gem! It is a tiny off-grid A-frame cabin in the middle of a pristine woodland forest. You will fall asleep looking at the stars and wake up to a chorus of songbirds! (yes you can see the stars through the skylight above the bed!) If you are looking for quiet solitude this is your place! You will have a 360 degree view of the forest - no houses or roads in view. This site is reserved for solo guests or couples only (no children). This is meant for a place of quiet reflection, a place to unplug and relax. We ask all guests to respect and follow so the posted rules closely so that this beautiful refuge is left natural and undisturbed. Though charming and quaint, this is not a 5-star hotel. Be prepared for bugs, wildlife, and weather. Think of it as upscale camping. The "cabin" was made with 98% salvaged materials, which only adds to the charm. (The roof was once the roof to a greenhouse, the beetle-chewed pine was from a local sawmill, etc.). During summer months you can open the screened in window so that the cool wetland breeze will blow through. Expect a clean outdoor bathroom with composting toilet and pump sink. We will provide lanterns, clean sheets and bedding, and coffee or home-grown tea will be brought out to you in the morning if you choose. -There is a small platform for yoga/meditation amongst the ferns and a yoga mat upon request. ~We suggest you pack light - you will have a walk on a wooded path to get to your cabin. Since all bedding is provided and food/cooking supplies will be kept at the campfire site, your belongings needed for the cabin should fit inside a backpack. Bring your own headlamps/lantern if you have them. The wood-fired hot tubs experience is an excellent add-on to your stay! ($125) *Now that cooler nights are upon us we have added a "Nighttime Warm-Up" option. If you choose this you will have access to an electric cord and a small heater for 12 hours (7PM-7AM). This will warm up the cabin on the coldest nights, but be aware this is still an off-grid cabin and even with the heater it will not be as warm as typical indoor temperatures. ($25)
