Peter is a Star Host

Star Hosts are highly rated, responsive, and committed to providing incredible experiences.

This piece of land was developed by my mother, and named after my grandmother: The Awakening Garden is a translation of her name in Chinese. It is tucked in between the Hudson River (8 miles to the East) and the Catskill Mountains (10 miles to the west). It is just 6 miles from the Village of Saugerties and 14 miles to Woodstock, NY. The piece available for camping is 10 acres, but the entire Garden is comprised of 98 acres of rolling land (most of it in a forestry protection plan) bordered on the west by acres of marshland. Many trails criss-cross the Garden and lead one to pretty or interesting vistas including a large mountain laurel patch, ancient graveyard, and different stands of mixed wood forests. There’s lots of wildlife both on land and in the marshes.

Delightful Tiny Catskills Cabin

100%

(10)

Cabin · Sleeps 2

This is the perfectly romantic glamping getaway. This rustic, insulated cabin was designed by my Buddhist mother for a meditation retreat, and to commune with nature. With a firepit outside, electricity and a wood-burning stove inside and even wi-fi steps away, you have all the fun of camping but protection from the elements without having to pitch a tent. Make use of our community garden, outhouse with stained glass windows, an outdoor shower, and just enjoy the woods.

Delightful Tiny Catskills Cabin

My partner and I were able to spend a really lovely weekend at the Twin Oaks cabin on Peter's campgrounds. We spent most of our time riding around on motorcycle and got in after dark on both nights. The view of the stars just overhead of the cabin was gorgeous. It felt gratifying to build the fire in the woodstove each night, which heat up the little cabin in no time. We got to see more of the thoughtful details in the cabin and even in the outhouse and outdoor shower as we were packing up on our last morning there. We'll be back in the area this time next year and would love to make it a new tradition to come back to theTwin Oaks cabin! Thank you for offering this space!

The cabin was the perfect weekend away. Had all the essentials and none of the distractions of modern life. Would recommend.

Delightful Tiny Catskills Cabin

Our cabin and the surroundings were so peaceful. The setup inside the cabin was great, The space for dishwashing, the shower and the outhouse were all well taken care of. It’s cool how in nature it is but also close to 2 cute towns and amenities. I was sad to leave!

We had a lovely time in the Twin Oaks Cabin. Thank you for hosting us! It had a nice little nook for sleeping and a fire place. Will definitely come back again.

Peter’s tiny cabin was really wonderful and well kept. The community was very quiet and the garden was really charming. The cabin is in a great location to get to lots of different hikes. Wish I could have stayed longer!

Beautiful simplicity

Delightful Tiny Catskills Cabin

I loved the thoughtful design of the cabin - it was beautifully simple whilst also having everything I needed. Was a great spot to reconnect with nature, close to some amazing hikes and not far from shops to pick up groceries or to have lunch. The cabin is surrounded by amazing trees and it was great to be able to visit the shared garden space, I was able to use some sage from the garden to include in my dinner. There’s a hot plate and a small fridge in the cabin, and you can access a shared space to get a kettle and other cooking supplies. There’s a fire pit for an evening fire and a mattress in the loft section of the cabin. I brought my own bedding which was easy enough. You could hear the road from the cabin which meant it was a little noisier than I expected, but mostly didn’t affect me and the trade off was that it was very easy to get into town. Loved my stay, was just what I needed.
