Matthew is a Star Host

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

Hike or bike 2 miles into a completely secluded cabin on 600 acres with panoramic views of the Green Mountains. You’ll arrive to a cozy cabin that can comfortably sleep 2, or up to 4 if needed, equipped with a potbelly stove and basic cooking equipment. The mountain, once a source of wood for the Stanley Tool factory and a site for bridle trails in the summer and Nordic skiing in the winter, is now best known as a the birthplace of the Spartan Race and host of the infamous Death Races, as well being a popular mountain biking destination called the Green Mountain Trails. The trail system boasts 25 miles of flowy trails for all abilities as well as a stone staircase climbing from the base to the top of the trails at Shrek’s Stone Hut. Awake to an incredible sunrise and panoramic Green Mountain views after a night underneath a starry dome unblemished by city lights. Chilly evenings in the hut are easily tempered by a pot belly stove fed by seasoned wood. A built in bunk accommodates two people, but it’s possible to sleep up to four guests.Awake to an incredible sunrise and panoramic Green Mountain views after a night underneath a starry dome unblemished by city lights.

Shrek’s Mountaintop Stone Hut

Winter camping

It's truly a little paradise with a big view! Matt is super helpful and responsive. The woodstove gets cranking and it get so warm in there, but it doesn't hold through the night, so it takes lots of waking up and feeding to keep it warm in the cold months, but worth it.

Shrek’s Mountaintop Stone Hut

A great place to reconnect

It was a pleasure staying at Shrek's Hut. All the instructions were very clear, trails were well maintained, and the listed supplies were amply provided. The views were spectacular, sleeping was comfortable, and the place is imbued with intention. I used my overnight trip there as a time to reconnect with myself, and the land/stone cabin facilitated that well.

Shrek’s Mountaintop Stone Hut

I had a great winter weekend up at Shrek's cabin. The views were fantastic! Had to leave a little early to avoid getting snowed-in, and there were a few bikers, but it was exactly what I needed to start the new year off right. I will be back!

Matthew is the Man

This was my 4th time staying here and it’s better and better each time. Big thanks to Matthew for tending to the hut , the trails , and having firewood ready each time . Every I visit i pack lighter and lighter because the hut is loaded with cooking supplies ,potable water, board games , and everything you need . All we bring now is sleeping gear and food. Big thanks to Matthew.
