Nestled in the serene beauty of the Adirondacks, this tiny cabin offers a cozy escape into nature.

Guests appreciate the thoughtful touches provided by the hosts, such as a well-stocked outdoor kitchen, charming decor, and ample firewood.

Best place I’ve ever stayed in my life. Had a blast couldn’t recommend more. Hosts were great and cabin was super toasty even while a foot of snow fell on the ground.

We had a great time at this cabin. Beautiful views and very close to several great hiking trips. The host recommended Crane Mt. and it was excellent.

Adirondack Tiny Camp
This tiny cabin was so cute! My family and I were on a Fall Foliage road trip and we had the best time here. It was quiet, you have the pond all to yourself, all the leaves were changing colors, there’s a wood stove. Just exactly what you expect for a road trip like ours. There were 6 of us and we slept comfortable. It looks EXACTLY like the pictures so you will not be disappointed. Hurry and book!

The cabin is so beautiful and cozy! The property is so peaceful and so much land to explore. Our dogs loved running around and swimming in the lake. Such a beautiful space will definitely come back!

We had a wonderful stay at the Tiny Camp, which is actually quite a large space. The cabin was adorable, clean and functional, with a great wood stove. (It is the Adirondacks so that Fall chill was in the air for a couple of nights). The pond was amazing as were the local trails. The outdoor kitchen was excellent - well supplied. It is so wonderful to see a tract of land that is preserving the Adirondacks in reality & spirit. We highly recommend & look forward to visiting again.

Hemlock Camp
Exactly as pictured and described !
It was absolutely perfect for what we were looking for. Such helpful and accommodating hosts! (The RV ride is well worth it)
Beautiful location, the pond was amazing and comfy bed!

My goal was to have a relaxing long weekend getaway. And this spot was perfect. I took lots of long walks on the trails through the property. I had the trails to myself. I enjoyed sitting by the pond and my dogs went for a swim. I did lots of reading The hammock was perfect for that. I also sat outside and practiced my guitar. The site had everything I needed. Of course I was lucky and had absolutely perfect weather for the 4 days/3 nights. I was there. Margarete and Sven were perfect hosts. The creek in front of the tent was a haven for small frogs. I also saw many toads, as well as an assortment of interesting plants, fungi, and insects. I heard coyotes howling in the distance one morning. I spied a young hawk on n the ground eating something during one of my walks. It was an extremely quiet and peaceful stay and I highly recommend hemlock camp.

Adirondack Tiny Camp
Great stay!!! My kids and I had a blast. We will definitely be coming back.
Amenities were outstanding. Birdwatching was topnotch. Having the kayaks, canoe and paddleboard on hand was great.
Suggest bringing sleeping bags, lanterns, eating utensils and a small stove. Getting supplies at Chestertown was convenient. Chestertown shops were an added bonus.

The Tiny Cabin is situated perfectly for complete privacy. Margarete and Sven were wonderful hosts and started the wood burning stove prior to our (me + dog) so the cabin would be toasty after our long drive. While very rustic, the hosts have filled the cabin with cozy charm - little firefly lights, lanterns, a cot on the main floor and two comfy sleeping pads in the loft. It's the perfect place for a getaway and to simply relax in nature. While there are tons of hikes nearby, the land provided boasts its own trail system. It's really heaven on earth. oh and the outhouse...the cutest I've ever seen!

We had a great time at Margarete's Hemlock Camp.
The tent is huge and water tight. We had an additional twin air mattress for our son and there was still plenty of room.
When arriving at the GPS location you need to go past where it says "private land" that confused me a little bit. But Margarete was quick to answer text (once we found service, lol). She was also very quick to respond when we asked for more fire wood. Great host! Her partner Sven was very friendly too!
There was a Huge thunderstorm the second night and we were snug as a bug in a rug. Just some small water leaks under the tent side/bottom.
We didn't use the wood stove the 1st night, but did the second. It was much less damp that way. Would definitely recommend.
The outhouse is clean (a bit far away in the dead of night for any scaredy cats like me).
The walk in to the camp site is about a 1/4 of a mile. Definitely get the UTV ride in if you have any more gear than what you're carrying on your backs. The trail can be a bit muddy at some points (mud boots are a great idea). Grill was a great addition.
Our son (15) loved the hammock.
Bring BUG SPRAY. The area is quite wet so the skeeters are out in full force.
Tiki torches helped with that.
The deck the tent is built on is gorgeous as are the stairs leading up to the tent.
They did an excellent job with this site.
If you're looking for seclusion and tranquility this place is for you! Babbling Brook can be heard at night.
The experience was lovely.
Thank you!!!

The Tiny Cabin was great. The person who built it did a great job. The scenery is terrific with the Pond and Wilderness. I heard the Coyotes every night. If you like to spend time in the woods away from everyone, Tiny Cabin is the place to be!

We stayed at Hemlock camp for a couple nights over July 4th. It was a lovely experience. The tent itself is huge and constructed wonderfully. The outhouse was probably the nicest one I have ever used. The site was pretty muddy due to the amount of rain the area had gotten recently. Our dogs had a great time running around checking everything out. We loved walking around the site and trails looking at all the different mushrooms growing. The only issue we had was the cart was very low on air in the tires which made the trek in a bit difficult especially since it was raining. Next time I would arrange for a ride for the load in.

Perfect New Year’s Eve getaway! The cabin was peaceful and cozy. We spent the weekend reading in front of the fireplace and cooking delicious food. Highly recommend this camp if you are looking to get offline and connect with nature.

It was so peaceful and quiet. We loved exploring the woods around the pond. The campsite is only a few miles from the town of North Creek where we were able to hike along the Hudson River, which was awesome. This was the perfect time of year to be in the adirondacks, the colors were amazing everywhere we went. The cabin was so cute. We absolutely loved our trip.

We had a great time! Margaret’s property is beautiful! The tent was clean. We enjoyed walking the trails on her property. We are glad we stayed there!
We had our own gear but she had a lot of kitchen supplies, a propane stove, headlamps, a trash can with a bag, toilet paper, etc.
We also opted for the ride for our gear which I definitely recommend unless you just have a backpack.
The cell service isn’t the best but that’s what we wanted - to disconnect. So make sure you take any screenshots/print directions to and from (incase you can’t get service)

We loved the secluded, back to nature feel of the hemlock camp. Everything needed plus more was available at the campsite. Pack light, it’s a decent trek in the woods, or pay for a ride. We got to go for a nice swim at the pond. The king size bed was extremely comfortable. We enjoyed a fire in the fire pit and saw lots of deer. We ventured into North Creek and did some glass blowing! Definitely an awesome, quiet, off grid weekend!

Hemlock Camp
This is a quaint fairy-esque place for all ages. Even those with bad backs/knees could handle this place (I have both issues and then some). Pups with anxiety issues...this is for them. My pup suffers from bad anxiety but the frogs and salamanders in the creek kept him occupied at all waking hours. He was able to be...just...a dog for a bit and relax. This trip was for my college aged daughter and I to reconnect. So gals, if you wanna go camping and feel safe, this is the place. If you have ANY issue (and I mean ANY, even with outhouse issues), the host is there for help or advice. Storms blowing in? That tent didnt budge in the storm we had with high winds. Animals? We saw deer, squirrels, a chipmunk, but nothing large to be worried about. I'm sure they are there but didnt see any. My daughter said she heard howling. I can't confirm as I was sleeping. The pond is wonderful and not cold. Bring the bug spray, the Repel brand at 15% deet did fine. I hope we can go again one day. Next time I'll know I don't have to bring the whole house with us. Thanks a bunch to the Hosts! Truly a magical quiet awesome camp. I'd give 10 stars if I could.

We loved our stay, glamping off grid in serenity and tranquility,
The running stream was wonderful,
The indoor fire place helped keep the tent nice and cozy on the closer nights,
They provide everything you could need so don’t pack too much, and they paid attention to details that really added a nice touch.
We definitely would like another stay.

I had a great time! It was buggy but we still had a great time! Beautiful area and beautiful tent, just bring big spray and a bug jacket:)

A beautiful site convenient to gore mountain, hiking, and whitewater rafting (I recommend ARO), the cabin was delightful. Everything you need to sand the edges off of roughing it (gas grilles, hammock, kayaks, the best version of an outhouse), and nothing you don't (no electricity or other nearby campers. I hope to return soon.
p.s. Bring a sleeping pad if you're more than two
