Our cabin is located on the top of a clearing in the mountains outside Wassaic. Enjoy swimming, hiking, chilling, fires and sunsets views without any light pollution or street noise. This cabin's got everything you need for an amazing few nights off-grid. You're power comes from a generator, a kitchenette for cooking, large deck and solo stove to enjoy the sunset and comfy bed with an amazing view of the night sky. Because Offsite Camp cabins are designed with the modern creative in mind, our workstations are top-notch. We've partnered with Branch Furniture to bring you an ergonomic standing desk and chair. There's a hidden whiteboard for bringing your ideas to life, and Starlink internet will keep you connected, even when you're up in the woods. Our kitchenette will keep your cravings at ease. We offer local coffee and tea complimentary to our guests, along with cooking essentials. You have a pot and pan from Caraway to get cookin' on our two burner gas range and all the cooking utensils you need for basic meals. There is servewear for two from Barebones, and we've got a pour-over kit from our friends at VSSL and Chemex. There's also a mini-fridge to keep things cool. Since we're fully off-grid, you'll find a hi-tech composting toilet. Outside, enjoy a beverage by the fire and maybe make some s'mores on our massive deck. Hit up one of the local ski mountains for some outdoor fun, grab one of the yoga mats and greet the sunrise if you're inclined, or just relax on the Adirondack chairs overlooking the valley and the Berkshires beyond. You can watch both sunrise and sunset, and if you catch a clear night the starts are unreal. You're surrounded by state forest, so you won't see another house - it's seriously magical. ***Please note, the sauna is not currently available for use*** Nearby towns (Kent, CT / Wassaic, NY) have plenty of food options as well as easy access to the Appalachian trail and Macedonia state park. 15 minutes from the Wassaic metro north station, the cabin can easily be reach by taxi.

Nestled on the border of Connecticut and New York, this campsite offers a tranquil escape with its beautiful scenery and seclusion. The tiny house is well-received for its comfort and panoramic views, providing a cozy shelter amidst nature. Guests appreciate the friendly and responsive hosts, who ensure a welcoming stay, though some mention the need for a few additional amenities like an outhouse. Despite these minor points, the overall experience is positive, with the lush grounds and nearby hiking trails being a highlight for many.

Such an amazing getaway!! The house is just as advertised with additional special touches. The land is beautiful and secluded without feeling too far from amenities. 8 min drive to restaurants and shops in Kent. I can’t wait to come back. Brian was a responsive and helpful host - Thank you Brian!

Such a beautiful spot with its views of the valley. There's little walking trails around the tiny house that are sweet for a morning stroll, Macedonia State Park and the AT are close by for more serious walks. It's really so nice to have a solid roof and not need to worry about planning around rain/weather. Nicholas was a gracious and responsive host. Would definitely return.

Itsa keeper!

With pets

Awesome spot. Tiny house was beyond our expectations, there are trails, views and off leash doggins! Would have liked to use the swimming hole but the drought brought the levels down. We will use it next time, and there WILL be a next time. The road to get there was not an "off roading" experience, gravel dirt and grass but no wash-outs holes or branches scratching our truck.

Perfectly lovely spot, even in 90 degree heat. Great campfire pit, comfy bed, and beautiful hiking trails. Camp keepers were extremely friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend a stay!

Panoramic views

An amazing little gem of a spot! The hosts are so warm and welcoming. We really enjoyed the fireflies dancing around our campfire on our first night. The mattress pad was so comfortable and the best part of the Tiny was being able to take in the panoramic windows of the cabin. I went to bed with a bright full moon in my view and woke up to gorgeous green foliage. We went fly fishing about 30 min nearby during the day but could have hung out at the site and hiked the lush grounds. We wish we had more time to stay longer at this perfect little camping nook.

Group trip

One of the prettiest spots we’ve camped on via Hipcamp. The tiny house was clean and cute and there was tons of stuff to do around the area (swimming, Millerton NY, Wassaic Project). We had fun being on the property, going for walks on the many little trails and getting vegetables from the garden. The spot is quiet, secluded and peaceful. Nick, Gaye and Alex are very sweet people!

Lovely stay

The Tiny house was beautiful and in a gorgeous spot - Nicholas was extremely friendly and helpful. The garden veggies were delicious. My friend and I were new to hipcamp and not aware that the tiny house didn't have a mattress before arriving - so just prepare yourself for that!

Sunny view

Group trip

Beautiful land, great east facing window view, lovely hosts. A bit pricey for what few amenities come with the space. Bring your gear, a folding table for inside in case it rains and some extra blankets in case the temperature dips. The widows are missing some glass and don’t secure well when closed. Would love to see an outhouse and a bucket shower or something similar.

beautiful & cozy stay

Group trip

This tiny house is a wonderful place to stay! It’s comfortable and private, and there’s lots of space. Absolutely beautiful mornings and nights. The hiking nearby is challenging and fun, and there are multiple close towns with general stores/etc if you forget anything. The hosts are friendly and helpful. Get the vegetables! They’re delicious.

Super cute place on beautiful land

We stayed two nights and had a great time! The house is adorable and the property was lovely. Gayle was very friendly and told us to check out her beautiful garden (which we did) as well as the rest of the space around the campsite. Amazing views of the stars as well. Also super close to the town of Kent which was a great place to explore. We will definitely be returning in the future :)

The property is extremely beautiful! It is on the boarder of Connecticut and NY, up long dirty road that most cars should be able to handle (I drive a Yaris). To access the tiny house you must drive an additional hill which it could not make. We parked there at the main house and camped in and out. The tiny house being extremely well Insulated is the first thing we notice which kept us warm. It wasn’t too hot when we were there so the screen door cooled us off during the day.

We had a great time at the Tiny House! The site/cabin was clean, comfortable, and very pretty. Especially loved the pond, it was a short walk away and great for a hot July day. Nicholas and his Mom were very friendly and welcoming - would highly recommend a visit!

Georgous!

Would definitely recommend staying here! The property is beyond gorgeous, there is plenty of space around the unit with a picnic table and fire pit right next to it, and the host was so kind and welcoming. She brought us out firewood and provided plenty of drinking water, and we were even lucky enough to meet her super friendly pups! My only regret is not being able to stay even longer!

Peaceful Birthday Weekend

My boyfriend took me and our dog for my birthday weekend. It was just a beautiful experience. We loved the scenery and the hospitality was excellent. Nicholas’ mom was so welcoming and kind. We even had our own little tour guide(Bell their dog). She made our dog feel right at home. They are very attentive to us and making sure we had everything we needed. They provided us with a lot of essentials. I would definitely recommend this place. More than we expected :)

Beautiful Scenery Quiet Experience

We stayed for the weekend. The place was very cozy and well kept. Host provided us with a lot of essential items. (Toilet paper,cooking utensils, trash cans,trash bags,blankets,sleeping bags, water, hammock ). The scenery was very beautiful. It was a great time of the year to go! The hikes behind the property were very beautiful. Our dog loved running around and exploring the property with our very own tour guide (Bell host’s dog) !! She was so cute and happy to be around us. Definitely would recommend. We had a great quiet weekend. Can’t wait to go back!

Wonderful stay!

Group trip

Nicholas and his mom were extremely welcoming to us and our dogs. The tiny house/cabin was very nice to stay in this past fall weekend. You get to wake up looking at all the beautiful fall foliage and there are some trails around their land - again, beautiful. Just make sure you bundle up for colder weather and build a nice fire in the fire pit! It was a really great stay and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a getaway!

Nick and his mother are incredibly hospitable people. I was on a bike tour with a friend and they made sure we had everything we needed when we arrived. Their Tiny House was perfect for us. I’d recommend this site to everyone!

Cozy getaway

Group trip

Our family had a wonderful stay! The setting was gorgeous and the tiny house was cozy and kept us warm and dry on a rainy night. We cooked over the fire pit, read in the hammock and explored the lovely property. Nick was helpful and accommodating and gave us some tips for things to do in the area. A great way to disconnect and spend some time away from the many stresses of this moment.
