Magic Forest Farm

15 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents225 acres · Coeymans Hollow, NY
**Please confirm you have read our property description and rules before booking** Our slice of paradise consists of 225 acres of forested land nestled in the foothills of the Catskills near Albany. We are a homestead and small campground devoted to the principles of organic farming and self-reliance. Modern agriculture and big business are unsustainable, destroying farmland at an accelerating pace. It is important for us to teach the next generation, there is an alternative. We produce much of our own food. We have friendly goats, chickens, ducks, peacocks, donkeys and horses the guests can pet and feed. There are no swimming holes on our property, but many waterfalls and swimming spots within a short drive (see list below). A quick 5 minute drive will get you to one of the best disc golf courses in the north east. For the truly adventurous, Clarksville Cave is a short drive away. Visit their website for list of proper gear and rules. We do rent some of the equipment needed.

Yurt By The The Berkshires

1 site · Lodging4 acres · Stephentown, NY
Situated on land that is right by the southern access road to Cherry Plain State Park with it's own private stream running through it.   Get away from it all and immerse yourself in nature. Learn more about this land:This is an off grid yurt. Think camping... with an outhouse and a stream for washing dishes but no running water or electricity. You'll have a comfy bed and futon. If it rains it's a welcome excuse to hang out in the yurt, not a ruined weekend. Staying inside, listening to the rain and playing games is a highlight of our trips there rather than a reason to reschedule. Rain on the yurt sounds incredible. Though cooking outside and enjoying a campfire & toasting marshmallows is also fun! The space The yurt sits on our 4 acres of woods right near the southern access road to Cherry Plain State Park. A stream runs through the middle of the property and you can see and hear it from the yurt. If you cross the stream the woods on the other side are on a hill and it's really fun to explore the boulders and woods over there with kids. There is a beautiful lake in the park with a playground and swimming beach. You can rent boats there, too. There are also showers and bathrooms there that you can use during the summer season. You can hike there... 2-3 miles (a lot uphill) over a kind of rough dirt road - while you can drive on that road you may want to drive the alternate 15 minute route around on paved roads if you don't have high clearance on your car. There is no cell service at the yurt but you can get a signal if you walk a few minutes up the road towards the park. 1) The yurt does not have electricity or running water. We have a small portable power supply that can charge phones and run a light. It'll get you through the weekend doing that sort of thing but can't run heavier appliances. There is a small bluetooth Bose speaker there that you can use to play music. And an acoustic guitar to make your own! 2)There is an outhouse with a composting toilet. We also have a small portable potty that can be used in the yurt (ideally for liquids only). We can provide you with a privacy tent for that, which you could put in the yurt if you like (let us know if you'd like that as we'd have to bring it out). You're also only an 8 minute drive from a Cumberland Farms with a nice bathroom. :) 3) We have a 2 burner camp stove that you can use out in the woodshed or in the yurt. We'll set it up in the shed for you but feel free to bring it inside if you don't want to go out to make coffee or tea in the morning. We have a small kettle and pour over coffee maker or Aeropress that can be used for making coffee. There is also a fire pit and we have cast iron cookware that you can use to cook over that. 4) We will provide you with a 5 gallon jug of water for the outdoor kitchen area. Dishes, etc. can be taken down and washed in the stream. We'll provide a sponge and environmentally friendly soap. Please don't use soap on the cast iron pans as it will remove their finish and rust them. 5) We can provide a cooler if you don't have one but there is not yet a refrigerator out there. We'll be getting one that runs off propane for the small kitchen we'll be installing inside the yurt but that and the wood stove won't be there until the fall. You'll need to pick up ice for your cooler. 6) In addition to the bed and the futon there is a folding card table and chairs and bunch of games. Let us know if there's anything in particular you like to play and we can try to provide it if we have it at home. Guest access The yurt has it's own private drive. Other things to note Because we're near the park and it is a nature lover's paradise, you do get a fair number of ATVs riding past the property. Their motors are loud. Sometimes they go by in the middle of the night. They are harmless and friendly in our experience but can wake you up if you or your kids aren't sound sleepers. It's not a constant stream of them or anything like that but you'll usually have a group go by a few times a day and like I said, sometimes in the middle of the night. There is no cell service at the yurt but you can get a signal if you walk a few minutes up the road towards the park.

The Silvan Lantern — Charming Yurt

1 site · Lodging5 acres · Schoharie, NY
Welcome to this handcrafted 21’ yurt by Canadian artisans at Yurta. It’s the only one in the Northeastern USA and it’s captivating and unparalleled. Get away from the routine, slow down, and connect with whatever matters most. Whether casual, artistic, or spiritual pursuits, you will find inspiration and peacefulness. Reviews available on Airbnb. ********************** NOTE: Read entire listing page so you know how to plan and pack accordingly for this kind of setting and climate. And make sure you understand the ‘house rules’ and ‘seasonal/off-grid amenity limitations’ (listed toward the bottom of this description -- under "Other Things to Note"). Feel free to message me with any questions. ********************** Off-grid, 350 sqft. of interior with wrap around deck, fully surrounded by nature, tons of natural lighting, a dome and nine windows, minimally and thoughtfully furnished, cozy, inspirational, recharging, and healing. ********************** Your rental space includes privacy — it’s not shared and there are no neighbors in sight from yurt. You have access to the woods, the yurt and its wrap around deck, the back part of the field for games like corn hole, and parking on the gravel pad across from family’s cabin. ********************** My sister and brother-in-law live in a cabin elsewhere on this 5 acre property and I will be elsewhere here when not traveling. One of us will enter yurt during your stay if battery station needs charging or supplies need replenishing. (Yurt is off-grid). And you might occasionally hear or see us if we are tending the grounds. ********************** Depending on time of year there are animal sounds or sightings like birds, woodpeckers, hawks, owls, chipmunks, turkey, deer, fox, and coyote. And you might hear rain/snow pattering or tree nuts periodically dropping on the roof. ********************** 1) Inside yurt, you have access to a kitchenette with fridge, two-burner propane stove, filtered drinking water, sink with non-potable water, and basic cooking utensils like cutlery and pot/pan. (Seasonal limitations apply — scroll down toward the bottom of this property description). ********************** 2) You have an indoor wood stove for colder temps. The equivalent of four slow-burning logs and a few fire-starters will be provided complementary. Anything beyond that is $3/log. This is the only wood that can be used with this particular stove. No outside wood permitted. ********************** **There is also a basic outdoor fire pit with a grate for BBQing — for this you can make use of fallen limbs here and some of our personal stash. But we request grabbing a bundle at Stewart’s shop down the road too. ********************** 3) There are 3-4 beds. See photos. A) a firm sofa that you arrange into a Full-size bed or two Singles (or you can keep sofa setup as is). B) an extra long Twin futon that sits on a tatami mat. C) a firm foam air mattress that doesn’t deflate on you (Single). **There is also plenty of floor space with an available camping mat if that is preferred. Two full-size comforters, one twin comforter, and four pillows are provided. ********************** 4) There is an outhouse shower with hot water during the summer only. Depending on outside temperatures, it might also be available in the early fall and late spring, but this varies year to year. Liquid body soap and towels/washcloths are provided. Bring all other toiletries you need. There is a basic compost toilet year round with toilet paper provided. ********************** 5) Since the yurt is off-grid, you have access to a number of USB/battery-operated items like lanterns, fans, and a power station for charging your devices (both USB and AC plug capable). There are also cleaning items like a handheld vacuum or rug cleaner in case of a spill or mess. A carbon monoxide and smoke alarm, fire extinguisher, and gas leak detector are here. And there’s a first aid kit in the outhouse. ********************** 6) There is no wifi, but there is internet access with great LTE or 5G signal using Verizon carrier. Guests have reported that other carriers have worked too, with some variance in signal. But most folks come and try to unplug anyhow. ************************
