This property has been in my family for three generations. It is classic Connecticut with hills and streams and stone walls. The octagon is a private 122 ft.² that is electrified and heated. It has a full size bed, cabinet and table with chairs. It sits next to a brook on 56 acres of forest with a pond, small waterfall, marsh and 2 1/2 miles of hiking trails. There is a fire pit and outdoor dining area next to the octagon. Out house with composting toilet close to octagon is heated. A great place to rejuvenate in the forest! Dogs welcome.

This was our second time staying at the Hiker's Haven. It was very peaceful and relaxing. We had a lovely little fire in the fire pit. The trails are well maintained. It all made for a very rejuvenating stay. We do hope to stay again in the future, maybe it will become a yearly tradition.

Absolute paradise!
Pleasant, attentive, detailed hosts! Nancy made sure we are comfortable and showed us everything. She was so prepared, staying at her tree house is like staying in five stars hotel! Clean, all and even more than enough all essential supplies you’ll need to stay comfortable. Easy to reach and communicate if you have any questions. Gorgeous, peaceful place to visit, stay and enjoy. This is definitely a come back place! Thank you very much for doing such a great business.

52 wedding anniversary celebration!
It was fantablious. Nancy and Bert are wonderful. The greeted us with a warm welcome, helped us carry our luggage to the tree house, brought up a tent to put over the fire pit so that we could enjoy a fire at night and cook out without getting wet. 😊

Octagon Retreat
I would love to take this time to express the wonderful time I had. The tranquility was exactly what I was looking for. The cabin had all the necessities needed to get comfortable and enjoy nature right at your feet. Nancy was such a joy to speak with and to get to know. The land itself is beautiful with so many wonderful trails to walk along. Would definitely recommend staying here to anyone and everyone. AHO!

Water Forest Retreat Treehouse
Loved my stay at the Water Forest Retreat Treehouse. It was a beautiful and peaceful visit. The forest trails were well maintained and the grounds were amazing. Nancy did a great job with the treehouse decor as well as all of the details of grounds and trails! The treehouse cabin had everything I needed I really only needed to bring myself, my food and some bundles of firewood. Hosts were great and upon my arrival I was greeted as well as given a hand to help carry my firewood to my site along with a quick tour of my accommodations. Had a visit from a big beautiful owl perched on a tree limb right beside the upper deck. Thank you for a great stay! Looking forward to returning soon.

Wow In So Many Ways
Where do I start? Everything was meticulously clean (outhouse is nicer than my home primary bath). There are so many places to sit and enjoy, contemplate, etc. They provide beyond standard needs (when was the last time your hotel provided a phone cord? How about three of them?). So much privacy! The car is conveniently close, but it or any neighbors can’t be seen! It’s like having your own state park. I’m going to return treating this hideaway as my destination—not as a place to sleep between visits to Mystic.
