Earn this patch by being the first to spend a night outside at a new Hipcamp.
A partly off-grid, truly unique, delightfully off-the-beaten-path, 420-friendly YURT in beautiful Livingston Manor. A ‘tiny house’, albeit a round one with walls of cloth instead of wood, with every conceivable amenity—full kitchen, hot shower, indoor toilet, woodstove, spacious living room, enormous sleeping loft, speakers for your music, excellent wi-fi—thoughtfully arranged to maximize space and ease of use. The YURT is at the end of a shale road on a blueberry orchard. Guests are invited to pick all the fruit they like. The hillside’s high elevation provides an oasis of cooler temperatures during every summer heat wave. The panoramic view of the Catskills from the front porch has to be seen to be appreciated. If glamping is your thing, come and spend a night or two under the stars while sleeping indoors. while the setting is delightfully off the beaten path, it’s also a short drive to the cafés, breweries, and eateries in the charming hamlet of Livingston Manor. World class hiking, rail trails, camping, and fishing is even closer. (Camping gear, hiking poles/micro-spikes, and mountain bikes provided.) perhaps most importantly, our place offers more than a getaway. Guests learn how to tap a spring for their home’s water, the joys of heating with wood, how hygienic and easy-to-use a composting toilet is. A few days on the blueberry patch is both a rewarding glimpse of the sustainable life and an invaluable education in how comfortable a small house can be. If you’re considering procuring your own, spending time in AND exploring ours(there are two others on the property) will help you decide if such a home is right for you. how to get here: depending on traffic, it’s about two hours from NYC. Take the Thruway to the very first exit, Exit 16 for Rt. 17 west. Follow Rt. 17 for an hour to Exit 98/Parksville. what to expect: the yurt is always spotless. Because it's heated with wood, because the property is accessed via a chip path not an asphalt one, invariably sawdust, wood flecks, and the occasional spider web make their way inside. The country will follow you indoors. Please visit expecting that. You’ll have to walk about 75 yards from your car so… make sure your shoes are comfortable.

A unique, handsomely built YURT with every conceivable amenity—full kitchen, hot shower, indoor toilet, woodstove, spacious living room, enormous sleeping loft, speakers for your music, excellent wi-fi—thoughtfully arranged to maximize space and ease of use. Ideal for the newly separated, creative types who need solitude, or overworked professionals seeking a respite from the big city. The YURT is at the end of a shale road in a berry orchard with virtually NO neighbors. The high elevation provides an oasis of cooler temperatures during every heat wave. Cozy and perfectly warm during the winter.

A headlamp is recommended for enjoying the grounds at night and hiking up from your car at night. Regarding cars, the shale road that leads to our yurt does NOT require a 4wd drive vehicle. However, you should drive cautiously if you arrive in a car that’s low to the ground. Whatever you’re driving, please do so slowly; the road is one way.
