Enchanted Forest in New York
Host Daya Parvati says:
Drive down a dirt road, surrounded by trees to find an opening where 2 streams meet, at "The Saffron Cottage". The home of mystic and wellness professional, who moved here after 20 years in NYC, for a quieter and peaceful existence, where her only neighbors are animals and trees. Enjoy 3 acres of land on Mohawk territory. Perfect for hiking, playing in the little waterfalls in creek, sitting by the fire, star gazing and grounding. There's a hammock and fire pit for pleasure.
Free firewood. Access to a natural spring that has safe water for drinking, although we recommend using a charcoal filtered pitcher or water bottle. The creek is an easy hike down the hill, the water is cold but clean for rinsing/bathing. A camp toilet is provided in shed, we ask you remove your own waste in the provided secure bags and dispose in the larger waste bins in driveway.
In a short distance you will find farmers markets, hiking trails, antiquing and local breweries.
15 mins away from charming Cooperstown & Ostego Lake, 25 min to artistic Cherry Valley, and 8 mins away to Betty & Wilber state park, for beautiful hiking trails, 30 mins to Oneonta, for unique shopping.
The property connects to state game land, great for hiking (recommend to wear orange on these trails). A few neighbors further out, so must follow the orange tags on trees to avoid hiking on to private property.
You are welcome to set up tent anywhere on the 3 acres, as long as it's a reasonable distance from cottage. There is a fenced in area near the dirt road that is available as a dog run. Dogs are welcome, please use poop bags to collect their waste and dispose in larger waste bin on property.
The Saffron Cottage @ the Enchanted Forest, hosts seasonal retreats, that you are welcome to join while on the land. Gatherings with themes like meditation, energy healing, esoteric & divination arts, survivalist training, sacred medicine ceremonies and drum circles. You will be updated upon booking of any events taking place on the land and an invitation to join in.
