About this property

Post and Beam Cabin on the Hill

Extremely private one of a kind hand-built Post and Beam Cabin overlooking the Hudson River valley and the mountains of Vermont. Situated atop a beautiful rise on a 100 acre horse farm. Completely insulated and heated by an air tight woodstove. The cabin has NO electricity. My wife and I supply propane lanterns, propane and a 2 burner propane stove. Please bring your drinking water. We supply clean water for washing and a large cast iron Dutch oven for cooking over the fire on the outdoor fire pit. There is a clean, quaint outhouse next to the cabin, and an outdoor solar shower for use in warm weather. There is a kitchenette with a sink that you can pump water into by hand. For sanitary reasons we are now providing single use plates, cups and utensils. Please feel free to bring your own if you wish. If you plan on cooking over the fire please bring firewood. Don't be afraid of cold weather. Many travelers (as well as ourselves) have spent several nights there in Sub zero (f) weather. We would compare this to very comfortable and rustic indoor camping. The cabin has a 'full' bed and futon on the bottom floor. There are two twin beds in the loft. This is an experience you HAVE to try. EVERY traveler raves about their time spent here. If you need to unwind and spend some time relaxing off the power grid this is a must do. There is excellent cellular coverage from AT&T and Verizon. PS. there are outlets available in the barn to charge battery operated devices.
Unfortunately, we can not invite pet friends to vacation here with you.

I knew this would be a rustic cabin but when I hear solar shower I think solar panel not a black plastic tub that you hope heats up in the sun. The propane stove which was the only means of making coffee, cooking or heating water for washing was not in proper working order. There were no matches or a working lighter. I was not provided with these after I asked for them. I really question sanitation as well. It was very hard to wash hands and dishes....and when you're using an outhouse you kind of want to wash up! The cabin and location were nice but the whole experience fell short of my expectations.

Beautiful location!
We loved staying at this cabin, the location was stunning. Our energetic 8 & 5 year old kids loved running around the space and had fun sleeping in the loft of the cabin. It's definitely a very simple place with no luxuries even the towels were so shaggy, was almost like out of The Little House on the Prairie period. We'd do it again because of the location, space and the privacy of this cabin!
