An inspired stay
The cabins immerse guests completely in nature. We designed them with minimal infrastructure, lots of glass, terrific views and water and rock features all around. Container cabins are seven times stronger than LEEDS building requirements, so no site clearance is necessary. The buildings fit snugly between trees and ledges, making a night in the cabins a lot like living on a boat floating in a forest. Trees grow over and around the walls and roof. Cliffs, streams, waterfalls and wildflowers are just a few feet away. Wildlife ambles past oversized picture windows. Sunlight filters through eighty-foot maple, black oak, hemlock and birch trees, and the wind blows off 3,645-foot Kaaterskill High Peak through the trees and windows.
Stylishly rustic
The off-grid setup of the cabins brings you even closer to nature—while still providing the comforts of home. You use filtered water from our land, electricity from the sun, and heat from woodcut in the forest. There are traditional comforts of home as well: propane cooktop, kitchen tools, BBQ grill, and heaters. The beds in the 20-footers are queen-size sofa beds, with Evergreen Stitches organic percale linens. (The 40-footer has a traditional bed in addition to a sofa bed.) The kitchen sink uses a foot pump to do dishes. A classic, steel-banded Coleman cooler keeps your perishables fresh. (The 40-footer has a refrigerator.) The outdoor shower and tub have hot and cold water (tub stargazing is a wonder to behold), and the toilet is a compost toilet set in a small outbuilding twenty feet away.
Endless opportunities to recharge
Each cabin has a deck with patio chairs and a separate slate patio with a fire pit and Adirondack chairs. There is a yoga platform at each and dedicated driveways for each cabin with parking spots ten feet away. Walking trails around the property meander along streams, waterfalls, mediation centers, Finnish sauna, and a wood-fired hot-tub. Endless hiking, recreation and restaurants can be found 15 minutes away in Catskills Park, Woodstock, Kingston, Catskill and Saugerties.
The cabin is set on a truly gorgeous 22-acre plot on the eastern edge of the Catskill Mountains, 100 miles north of New York City. It is flanked on the west side by 700,000-acre Catskill Park and is 15 minutes from Woodstock, Catskill, Kingston, Saugerties, or the Hudson River.
