Private and Artistic cabin, Pet friendly, no cleaning fee

In this current time of concern over the Covid-19 coronavirus, I would like to assure all my up coming and future guests that every effort is taken to thoroughly clean and disinfect the entire cabin between guests. I have also decided to block of a couple of days between guests (sometimes that actually turns into multiple days based upon reservations) to futher mitigate any possible transmission of germs. Also understand that the cabin is private and located away from other people in a township with a small population.
Due to a recent question, I would like to make it clear at the start (even though this information is elsewhere in the listing), that the cabin can comfortably sleep 7 if the configuration of single and double beds is fully utilized, and a few more could be squeezed in if the couches and roll away cot are used, BUT my prices are based upon a 4 guest maximum with an additional charge of $35 per person per night over the 4. Now on with the listing:

ARTISTIC LOG CABIN, private and peaceful. Set into a perfect homestead property with fruit trees, berries, gardens and naturally terraced terrain. With woods and old pastures all around, the birds will herald the morning sunrise. Beautiful views from the numerous windows and porch around two sides of house; also, a large slate patio that is perfect for cook outs. Fully appointed kitchen with dishwasher, microwave and two ovens. Cabin accomodates up to 7 people, master bedroom with private bathroom, second bedroom has one double bed, one single and another single in bedroom loft (which kids LOVE). The sunroom has two couches that double as beds. The bedrooms and two bathrooms are upstairs, one bathroom is on the first floor. The cabin is owner built from mostly reused or local materials found in surrounding woods. Each bathroom is a unique work of art and you have never seen a fireplace like this one! The cabin is meant to be an example of how a beautiful, comfortable and functional house can be built for a fraction of the cost using your imagination. $200 per night, 2 night minimum based on up to 4 guests, additional guest $35 each per night.
The cabin is artistic and rustic in nature and in order to appeal to those ideals certain safety considerations are not present in terms of railing heights and spacing, steps inside and out are irregular, balconies inside and out, patios and porches as well as surrounding terrain are all organic and not young child safe. Please consider this when planning a trip with young children and feel free to ask for more details.

ALSO AVAILABLE for VACATION RENTAL: Treehouse compound. Two treehouses (one two story, one three story), cooking/eating pavilion, outside shower and firepit. Sleeps 11 total in warmest part of summer (5 in cooler months on either end), very cool! type in 802728 in the "search for" bar to find it on this site.

Great getaway!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Amazing quiet location in the Vermont woods near the Green Mtns. Rik, the owner, is super cool and even made us a fresh loaf of bread! Kitchen was fabulous and the cabin was very comfortable and homey. I highly recommend it for a quiet getaway. Five stars for sure!

A cosy retreat
We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful and unusual house. It is very cosy with a lot of artistic touches. There is a wonderful harmony between the house and the nature around it. It is perfect as a quiet and cosy retreat. There is a very beautiful and easy walking trail just near the house. We walked a lot, admired beautiful fall foliage, visited a few quaint towns nearby. Rick was an admirable host — very friendly with a lot of local knowledge.

Great Cabin in the Woods
This was a beautiful cabin settled on a private landscape. We were able to bring our 2 large dogs and they happily pranced along the grounds enjoying the fall foliage. Rik was an exceptional host (loved the homemade bread) and was available to us if we needed him. I would definitely stay here again! I

Special Getaway
What an unusual and special place! When we arrived we were greeted by Rik, who was so personable and gracious. He gave us suggestions and information about the area and his hospitality included homemade, delicious bread, fresh eggs and fruit - such a treat! The house is a work of art incorporating the vast property's available wood and stone. It was comfortable for 5 adults and you had the sense you were immersed in the forest - the smells, the birds, the beauty. If you are looking for a hotel-like experience, you may not choose this property, but if you are looking to get away from it all and needing to refresh with positive energy, this home provides a rustic, peaceful stay.

Magical, quiet woods retreat
We had a great stay at this cabin and the property. It's everything the write up says and then some. The owner is a true craftsman with an eye for creativity and for bringing the outside in. I wish I had taken a photo of my review that I left him handwritten in his leather bound book to share with you here. He has thought of everything to provide a peaceful, calm and tranquil getaway. There is so much wildlife to be seen and heard. The cabin is rustic and gave me Hobbit and fairytale vibes. We absolutely loved it and our 7 year old son Elliott gave it a 15 out of 10, ha!

Cool nature-thematic cabin
The house is very cool with nature themed thing incorporated into the features like a cave bath and a "tree house" bed loft you get to by climbing a branch ladder. You can tell the owner put a lot of care and effort into the place, he is a very nice and friendly person who offered us bread and eggs from his farm.

Rik's cabin is nothing short of perfect. Nestled on 85+ acres of the Vermont countryside, the property is like a fairy tale land brought to life - treehouses, a hobbit house, and even a dragon chimney! It's magical. We spent our days exploring the property, sitting by the fire, and just disconnecting from our busy lives. My only complaint is that we didn't stay longer. Thanks to Rik for making us feel welcome and being an attentive host! We'll definitely see you again soon.

Earth centered restoration and renewal in rustic art craft home on enchanted land
This trip suppressed all expectations. Rik was a most attentive host while also allowing us oir privacy. We were greeted warmly upon arrival With a thorough tour of all Options and obvious care for the home and land and our pleasurable Time. Warm homemade bread and farm fresh eggs among other essentials were provided. The home was like a work of art in its construction with relics around every turn. The bathrooms were the opus of the place. Visit each one! Check out the tree houses at the height of land to see more tree crafted wizardry. Warmed by the fire, healed by nature. Not a place to be missed.

Magical Stay
Even though it was a rainy Vermont weekend we still had an absolute wonderful time at this beautifully crafted home, it's like staying in a story book the pictures do not do it justice, the home itself is ecofriendly which I appreciated, but did not skimp on luxury, each room makes you feel like a kid again and are living in an artists treehouse. Views from all windows are stunning, walks around the property as well. There's lots to do locally from hikes to skiing, but we really never wanted to leave. Thank you Rik!!

Peace and whimsy
We found Rik’s place very homey, cozy and peaceful. We can appreciate all the artistic, creative and whimsical touches throughout the house. There’s a lot to explore in the surroundings; both on the property and in the surrounding towns. The yard is full of fruit trees, berry bushes and grape arbors with a surprising “creature” tucked in the back. We slept like logs in a very comfy bed with the windows open and awoke to the sounds of birds and a rooster! So many great places to explore- we couldn’t get to all of them! Rik met us at the house at check in and gave us lots of tips and recommendations of places to visit, explore and shop. It’s a great spot to stay and we look forward to returning again soon.
