Hidden Cabin with Farm View

Note: You have to walk about 50 yards to the cabin from your car.

Not really camping... The farm's cabin has been spiffed up for guests with a comfy double bed, a window seat and a small table for writing or just coffee. This one room cabin on short stilts sits slightly uphill from the farmstead. Fully screened (not windows--see photos) it's a wonderful, quiet perch from which to hear, smell, watch and enjoy farm life.

Our private cabin is close to all Berkshire cultural attractions and outdoor activities while nestled on an quiet countryside organic farm. It's a great base for exploration, a romantic hideaway, or a quiet writing retreat.

Though you can recharge your laptop or phone, there's no internet connectivity, so your retreat won't be interrupted by squawks, or chirps, except from our rooster, and real, live crickets and tree frogs. The farmhouse is nearby (50 yards), but the cabin is wonderfully private. The cabin's own mini 'lawn' and fire pit are just outside the door. Stroll the farm road, and explore the farm, keeping in mind that it's a working farm.   Hike the maintained Nature Conservancy trail right next to the farm, or just chill in your hideaway.  This retreat is perfect for couples and solo adventurers.

It's cozy and rustic--it's a farm!--with a wonderful vibe.  This is definately not airb&b.  Expect to be awakened by a crowing rooster.  (If field mice, a lowing cow in a nearby field, poison ivy, spiders, grass soaked in morning dew, dogs, a hooting owl or coyote's howl cause you consternation, this is decidedly not for you.)

Because of covid restrictions, the toilet is now a porta-potty that is less than 100 yards from the cabin.  The cabin has no running water. (Natch, water's available at the house.)

Take-out meals are available out at any of the numerous, great south Berkshire eateries: There's a great cafe  (that also delivers) five minutes away for cappuccino, muffins or a breakfast sannie and a dozen terrific restaurants within 20 minutes. ...or...  Bring your own gear (camp stove, pan and dishes) to prep and cook your meal at the fire pit--that's the 'rough' camping part!  We can provide some materials if you need: firewood, charcoal, organic pasture-raised meats, organic veggies, eggs, etc. as seasonally available (separate charges)--order on our website mooninthepond . org/order/.

See our tent site listing for more awesome details about the farm, trails, and cool stuff in the environs.

We ask that guests respect our privacy in and around the house, and immediate environs--these areas are not for guests' use.  On the farm, closed areas (with doors and gates) are off limits: pastures, animal enclosures, stalls, etc.   If in doubt, please ask.
