Relax and renew
Follow a short trail from the driveway to a traditional Finnish wet sauna set in the woods inside a 10-foot shipping container. Two tiers of cedar slat benches offer varying levels of heat and steam. Toss water on the Finnish Harvey Legend sauna stove for a quick burst of heat or bath in the shower stall in the corner. A hundred yards down the hill as a small wading pool in the stream, perfect for a cold plunge in all seasons.
Follow the hot tub path to a two-person wood-fired hot tub set on the edge of the stream. Build a fire in the submersible stove then soak under a canopy of old-growth hardwood trees and watch wildlife move through the forest. The sound of the stream and wind through the trees will carry you to another place.
Follow the blue and yellow paths to meditation centers carved into the forest: stone benches, vistas, hammocks and hidden Buddhas. This is a treasure hunt of our favorite places on the property, set on the side of Kaaterskill High Peak
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.
