Artist Built A Frame
We loved staying in the Artist Built A Frame on Laura’s land. It was the perfect balance between camping and being home. The property was big with many different accommodation options. The cabin itself was set up beautifully and had everything we needed. It was also only a short walk to the restrooms, showers, and kitchen. The property had eggs, bedsheets, and firewood. There were also fun games inside the garage to play at night after a day of camping. One of our favorite things to do was to explore the property and see the animals everyday. Everything was perfect and we could not have asked for a better experience. We are looking forward to returning in the future.

Firefly on the Ridge
The most beautiful glamping spot.
This is one of the loveliest places we’ve ever camped. Laura is a fantastic host. It is incredibly peaceful, rabbits running around, the lovely dawn chorus, a kitchen garden where you can pick fresh vegetables, bikes to borrow, a sauna and cold plunge where you can look up at the stars. The facilities are excellent. I would highly recommend a visit and hope we’ll be back one day.

Amazing campground that Laura has done a fantastic job with, it has absolutely everything you need plus more. There is a communal games area, multiple lounging areas, wildlife, showers, firewood, ice, etc. anything you didn’t think of, Laura did. Would highly recommend staying here, location is great and just a really good experience.

Site 7 - Stargazer
This property blew me away! Host Laura was friendly and accommodating and the amenities exceeded my expectations. It definitely eclectic and charming…the farm animals were a hoot. I want to return but it will be a while- visiting from San Diego, Ca. with my adult NYC resident son. Maybe next fall 🤞🏽🤞🏽

Gatherwild Ranch Luxury Suites
The farm was beautiful and the glamping tents were great. It's in a great location that made day trips and hikes around the Hudson River Valley very easy. I would describe Gatherwild as a great beginning Glamping ranch, but they definitely have some kinks to work out as hosts. We had an issue from the minute we arrived as the host not being aware of our reservation (I think they book on Airbnb as well,) so we were only able to stay in the tent we had reserved for 2 nights instead of the 3 we paid for. They were able to put us in the yoga studio in the farmhouse for our third night, but it was definitely not the same as the tent (and certainly not worth the same price.)
