For 10+ years we lived in New York City in a 4 bedroom apartment with 8 roommates and ONE bathroom, so moving to Narrowsburg was a huge change matched only by the huge project lists we needed to complete. Now we are so excited to share how far we’ve come and what we’ve learned so far. I have been OBSESSED with the original Woodstock and Hippie Vibes since I was 14 years old when I first performed in the musical “Hair”. This was the first step in my acting career… a journey that led to meeting Kendra in 2009 in the musical “Rent” in Charleston, SC. We were married in a big Hippie Musical Festival—themed wedding in nearby Woodbourne, NY and we continued our lives as actors. Then came “Hair” into our lives again, and we did HUNDREDS of performances across the USA and Europe. We knew that a part of us never wanted to leave the 60s, and this inspired us to “theme our cabin” to celebrate Woodstock and the Hippie Movement. CABIN INFO: It’s a small cozy cabin with a lot of Big Deck Energy! The cabin is a studio Single room just over 150 square feet. The inside of the cabin is equipped with a Queen Bed, WiFi, fans, color- changing LED lights, outlets, a coffee station, a water filter, and hot water kettle. We included a record player and a library of 60s vinyl to enjoy as well as my old Guitar and a library of books concerning local info and Woodstock. The cabin is surrounded on 3 sides by a large deck. One part has a pair of hammock chairs, the large part has a fire pit surrounded by an outdoor couch set and rocker. It also has a tall dining setup for two. The back deck is our kitchen and bathroom deck. Our bathroom consists of a composting toilet and a shower. All the flowing water to the shower and outdoor sink is collected rain water -- you cannot drink the tap water. The cabin is on the far corner of the cleared part of our land. It is “semi-private”, meaning that while we live on the property, we will leave you to your vacation unless you need us for something-or if you would like to share a moment we'd be delighted. We have ten acres for you to wander. Our woods are inviting and easy to explore. The perimeter is marked with pink flags-PLEASE PLEASE wear high visibility on both your body and your pet's during fall's hunting season. A spring-fed pond makes for lovely reflection, and the seasonal frog song in the evenings is pure magic. The nights are incredibly starry and brilliant. We are located very rurally with almost no neighbors in sight from our property (they are there though so please keep the music down after 10 p.m.) If you are after relaxation, we have installed a salt water hot tub and a wood burning sauna (sauna is an additional fee). Hot tub is equipped with an outdoor surround-sound entertainment system ideal for watching concerts or shows!). As a general rule of thumb, most hot tub sessions should last between 15 and 45 minutes. While soaking, we recommend taking breaks, Hydrating, resting, and then entering the spa again. Please keep all hot tub sessions to a "Reasonable Length and Time". Since moving up here, my wife has become an incredible farmer. Two of the most prominent features on our land are our large greenhouse and garden. Tours of these are possible when wife and I are available-and in season vegetable, herb, and produce purchases are possible. (Please do not tour gardens or greenhouse without one of us with you) IMPORTANT TO NOTE: *Our bathroom system setup for cabin is a hybrid rain collection/composting setup. The bathroom and shower are outdoor and rustic-please do not book if outdoor rustic bathrooms and showers are a deal breaker for you. The toilet will not flush as it is a composting non water toilet from Nature’s Head. The water that runs from the sink and the shower is Rainwater collection and not suitable for drinking or consumption. Please conserve water. *Our property isn’t suitable for bare feet. Livin-brambles, thorns, and sharp things exist here-its safer to wear shoes of some sort. *Renting a hot tub (especially a beloved hot tub!) can be real dicey. It only takes one bad apple to make a gross apple hot tub stew. Our salt water tub uses less chemicals than a chlorine tub so please Please PLEASE be VERY RESPECTFUL and please DON’T BE DISGUSTING in our tub so we can continue to rent it. Do not spill in tub, do not use glass in tub, for GODS SAKES don’t pee in the tub. If tub needs to be emptied and cleaned, we HAVE TO charge you a $400 fee-no joke-don’t be nasty. **ANOTHER HOT TUB NOTE-heating a hot tub is EXPENSIVE-please enjoy the tub for a responsible amount of time. We REQUIRE you to replace the cover when you are done using the hot tub. Forgetting to re-cover hot tub will incur a $250 fee—seriously!! It’s easy to close-please close it. *Please respect our privacy—- Do not knock on or come to our front or back door-please try messaging, or texting, Our house and back deck are off limits as is our woodshed and tool shed. The garden and greenhouse (and berry garden) are only available to visit with one of us present. We have to pay a lot for firewood to heat house in winter-we have additional wood available to purchase. Please do NOT help yourself. *EVERYTHING on property is “use at your own risk”. Please be careful around trampoline and all water activity. *Please be mindful when building fires-keep fire size manageable *PETS* we are 100% pet friendly but please keep two things in mind: -TAJ! Our goldendoodle Taj is a real sweet beast and he rules the roost, free ranging during the days. If your pet doesn’t play well with others, let us know and we can work something out. —-WILD BEASTS-we get ALL OF THEM-I strongly recommend keeping your pet on a long leash during evening and at night —Here at Hippie Havens we love nature-and we have a lot of it. This property has insects, frogs, snakes, bear, ticks, skunks, mosquitos, and other woodland animals found outside in the Catskills as well as hazardous indigenous plants like poison ivy. The bathrooms are outdoors and rustic. —cabin doesn’t lock-we live in a VERY safe area but we recommend leaving anything you want locked up in your locked vehicle. — Features like bugs, the composting toilet, and the cabin’s rustic nature are fully disclosed in our listing. As such, we do not offer refunds for any conditions mentioned in the property description. By booking this lodging/camping, you agree to save and hold harmless Hippie Havens LLC, and Brett Travis and Kendra Payne from any liability arising out of your stay. You acknowledge that there are natural hazards such as uneven surfaces, bodies of water, wildfire, wildlife and noxious plants that are beyond the control of the owner, and their are manmade hazards such as the hot tub and sauna, trampoline, hammocks and buildings, and you assume all responsibility for your own safety.

2 sites · Lodging13 acres · Palenville, NY

Hudson Getaways @ Leeds, NY

2 sites · Lodging8 acres · Catskill, NY

Two hours from NYC, close to skiing (hunter mountain/ Windham , Kaaterskill falls, Woodstock, Hudson, Saugerties. Book us and make Hudson Getaways your base station for all kinds of adventures. FAQ Is my rental secluded? Our property is 8 acres, exactly the same as seven football fields. From your private deck and the big window, you will not see any other houses as far as eyes can see. We added fence panels to make it even more private. We have attached a satellite picture of the property to give you a better idea. As required by zoning law, there is a larger cabin on the property. But it is far enough and visually isolated enough that you won't feel it's presence (at least from the feedback we got from other guests.) We are located in a rural hamlet and a mile down the road there is a tiny town with two cafes , two bars and two restaurants. But your place is one New York block distance away from the street towards tree filled uninhabited area, adding to the sense of seclusion. I have never been in a tiny house, what can I expect? The "tiny house nation" style tiny houses are around 144 to 250 sqft, ours is 144 sqft. So,we are on the "smaller" side. Our guests have commented that its actually does not feel cramped. You will have heating, AC, hot shower, flushing toilet, kitchenette for basic cooking, small fridge, queen bed etc. You also have a private deck and a private outdoor fireplace to make S'mores and to grill. Are pets allowed? We just require that they should never be left alone and peace pick up after them. Our cleaning company charges a pet fee. If you forgot to pay it or decided to bring a pet last minute, please leave the amount as a tip to the cleaners. That way the cleaners get to keep the money and then they won't report the pet to the cleaning company. This also saves us the hassle of going back and forth with the cleaning company, reviewing the camera footage and ultimately paying it out of our own pockets. Also, please keep in mind that the house is really small at 144 sqft which may be too cramped for some large dogs. I work from home, how is the WiFi? We have had multiple guests who worked from home during the pandemic. Our provider is spectrum (the monopoly in the area). Luckily, outages are very rare and get fixed promptly (you may have to restart the router). Speed is always good for multiple simultaneous video calls and movie streaming. Do you provide firewood? Not yet! You do not need firewood to heat the house. If you want to use the outdoor fireplace, look for 'Campwood' signs and buy from our neighbors.(Also @ Walmart, Stewart gas stations etc.) What about Towels-Soap-Linens-Hot water? Is there heating/cooling? Can we cook? Yes! Yes! Yes! and Yes!. Think of all the amenities a hotel provides plus a tiny kitchen. Hot plate, refrigerator, electric kettle, drip coffee, plates, cutlery - we have all that we could cram into the tiny space. Our guests use the outdoor fireplace for BBQ and smores! Can I check in early? or Check out late? No and Yes. Due to the super strict covid19 cleaning process, we can no longer offer early check in. However, we can offer late checkout up to an hour. Please inform us in advance so that the cleaning crew can adjust accordingly.

Tiny homes near Walden guide

Overview

The Hudson Valley village of Walden is just an hour and a half north of New York City, making it an easy escape from the city. Surrounded by the gentle rolling hills of the Great Appalachian Valley and the Hudson Highlands to the southwest, it’s an attractive place to spend a while. Visitors will find plenty to do in the village’s surroundings, from visiting contemporary art galleries and sculpture parks to hiking in the Hudson Highlands State Park Preserve. Those who want to set up camp will find plenty of nearby options.

Where to go

Beacon

Just a 20-minute drive east over the Hudson from Walden, Beacon is famed as the home of the contemporary art gallery Dia: Beacon and home to a number of galleries, boutiques and antique stores. Another 25 minutes east of Beacon, Fahnestock State Park is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts who can hike, bird, boat, fish, and set up camp at the seasonal Fahnestock State Park Campground.

Cornwall-on-Hudson

A 25-minute drive south of Walden takes you to the outdoor sculpture park, Storm King Art Centre, named for nearby Storm King Mountain. You can spend all your time here wandering around the sprawling, 500-acre park, but don’t miss hiking in the pristine Storm King State Park nearby.

Poughkeepsie

Heading 40 minutes northeast out of Walden, the city of Poughkeepsie is home to Hudson Valley's most unique state park. The 1.28-mile Walkway Over the Hudson State Historic Park spans the Hudson River and is the world's longest elevated pedestrian bridge, offering excellent views of the Hudson Valley.

Bear Mountain

A 40-minute drive south of Walden, Bear Mountain State Park offers hiking, biking and cross-country ski trails as well as river fishing access. Adjacent to Bear Mountain is Harriman State Park with 31 lakes, two beaches, 200 miles of trails and camping at primitive Beaver Pond Campground.

When to go

Spring and summer are the ideal times to visit to enjoy the trails and water activities on offer in the Hudson Valley. However, given the area’s proximity to New York City, you should expect crowds in the peak summer season, especially on weekends and holidays. September and October can also get busy with visitors arriving to see the vibrant colors of fall foliage while winters offer skiing and snowshoeing. Note that some popular attractions in the area, such as Storm Mountain Art Center, close in winter.
