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.

Where it’s at

Shrek’s Mountaintop Stone Hut

Matthew‘s cabin was exactly what we were looking for. Even though it was cool w/ a bit of rain here & there, the stove kept us warm. Plenty of trails to explore. And the breakfast sandwiches at the general store made it onto my Top 3 Breaky Sandwiches of All Time list, which is robust. Great time all around

Narnia

Shrek’s Mountaintop Stone Hut

Our visit was amazing! We stayed there during an ice storm, which made the surroundings and the hike look like Narnia. The fire kept us cozy and the views were glorious. One of the most beautiful hikes of our lives.

First Visit To Shrek's

Shrek’s Mountaintop Stone Hut

I just spend two nights at Shrek's cabin and it was just what I needed- easy to get to, yet somehow remote and quiet at the same time! I'm sure it would be even more fun in better weather, but better weather probably means more "visitors" and that's not what I was looking for on this trip.

Shrek’s Mountaintop Stone Hut

Amazing stay! It was beautiful and quiet. The hut was well appointed and the wood stove kept the hut warm well into the night. I loved the views of the mountains. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone, and I hope to return sometime once the snow melts to see it in another season!
