The Tipi offers a unique stay on a working Bison Ranch, where we take pride in raising grass-fed, grass-finished bison. Located three hours northwest of NYC, just one hour west of Albany, and a mere 30 minutes from Cooperstown, our tranquil retreat promises an unforgettable experience. During your stay at The Tipi, you'll have exclusive access to a stunning private spring-fed pond, perfect for swimming and fishing. Stocked with rainbow trout and bass, the pond provides ample opportunities for angling, with fishing poles available for rent.

A nearby creek offers scenic walks, while a walking trail encircles the pond. Our on-site Bathhouse ensures comfort and convenience, featuring a shower, toilet, and changing area, with towels and bed linens provided. The Tipi itself is a full-size, authentically crafted Sioux-style tipi, the sole one on the property.

For added convenience, local breakfast options are available, including farm-fresh eggs, bread, yogurt, and milk.
