Best HipCamp Massachusetts 2023 Best HipCamp USA Finalist 2023 Best HipCamp Massachusetts Finalist 2022 THERE IS WIFI, PRIVATE HOT SHOWER and FLUSH TOILET. EXCEPT FOR THE RECENTLY ADDED TULLY 'THOREAU' ISLAND. Salamander Hollow is a private, evolving honeybee and human being sanctuary on 17 acres of land abutting Massachusetts State Forest. We currently have a one-room, wood stove warmed, cozy sleeping loft for one or two - with two benches below on either side of room - for two sleeping bags; plus, a separate 22 foot Sioux tipi with two cots. There are two chairs in the tipi, which if removed at night, make floor room for four other sleeping bags. 'Forest Bathing' for miles! If you're a larger group booking Salamander Hollow main camp with its Sleeping Library, Tipi & Slovenian Beehive House, you might consider renting this additional Tiny Cabin want to entertain all in glamping style, utilizing its amenities; as well, providing another bathroom/shower and guest bedroom for those who prefer being indoors while in the great outdoors. Note that Kula Bata Tiny Cabin abuts the wheelchair accessible larger bathroom/shower which is available to those at the Salamander Hollow main camp, yet you are secluded with your own private entry points and private bathroom. A ten minute drive takes you to the parking area to hike up Tully Mountain. There is a grill, wood fired pizza oven, two fire pits and a hygienic Incinolet electric toilet on the property for night convenience, with small camp sinks for washing & teeth brushing. Take a short hike off the property to organic Chase Hill Farm for milk, eggs, seasonal veggies, grass fed meat and other goodies. Say hello to their cows, chickens, pigs, goats, pups and kids. Nestled across the road from Salamander Hollow is Timber Haven Farm, where you can schedule your pickup of bacon and eggs, while loading up on delicious Owl Energy Bars for your adventurous excursions. For those interested in the glamping side of camping, you will enjoy a remote rustic experience with a few creature comforts to keep you well read, clean and fed. Please bring your own bedding - pillows, sleeping bags, comforter, teddy bears.There is a wall mounted blue tooth car radio/CD player in Sleeping Library, so bring your pre-digital favorites. Classical CDs to listen to. Lots of eclectic books to peruse.Walkie talkies, a set of 4, are available upon request. Chess & poker sets, too. Electric 2-burner stovetop and griddle upon request. Bring fire-starters/newspaper for tinder. We suggest if you are staying more than a night or two in winter, you bring supplemental wood or we can direct you to a nearby stand. Next season, our own cut and split wood will be seasoned and available on site. We ask that you carry out trash and recyclables. An established Western facing four point sacred Medicine Wheel site being established on Askari Ridge - our name for the slope starting with the two fire pits - 'Askari' being Swahili for night guard. Here is where we envision a great touch-point area for those leading groups to be for a base-camp by day or night, where eventually a multi-use tenting platform/performance stage will be constructed for outdoor entertainment, creating an authentic 'stadium style' seating on the hill. You will see on your way up to Salamander Hollow main clearing - the Kula Bata Tiny Kabin on the left of the dirt road- now available to rent with its small guest room for two, infrared sauna, hot shower, kitchenette, dishwasher and laundry.

Cabin with a sauna and fire pit!

With pets ·

Kula Bata Tiny Kabin InfraRed Sauna

My partner, dog, and I stayed at the Kula Bata Tiny Kabin. It’s one of the first cabins on the property, separate from the rest of the rentals. However, we ended up having the entire property to ourselves. It was fun to check out the other rentals and hike around the acreage. The pictures don’t do the cabin justice! This place is really lovely. You can tell it’s been set up with a lot of care for all who visit. The sauna was fun and we enjoyed the fire pit as well. You must take the hike to the farm store. There were so many farm goods for purchase. We got steaks and grilled them back at camp. They were DELICIOUS! Be sure to bring some foil and cooking oil with you since we couldn’t find either in the kitchen- plenty of spices and everything else you may need to cook though! All in all, it was a treat to stay here. Super unique spot that will leave you feeling rested and restored.

What a magical place!

Kula Bata Tiny Kabin InfraRed Sauna

I had an absolutely magical stay at Kula Bata Tiny Kabin InfraRed Sauna! The cabin is cozy and beautiful, and the sauna is such a nice feature, especially after a hike. The grounds around the cabin are beautiful, healthy, and peaceful, and there is deep meaning to all of the special touches in the woods around the place. I felt such a sense of flow in this place. It was healing, nourishing, and enlivening. I will definitely be back!

A Sacred Serene Gem

With pets ·

Forest Zz Library Tipi & Pizza Oven

Salamander Hollow is such a magickal healing place. The location is hidden away in the gorgeous mountain filled countryside of northern Massachusetts yet is thoughtfully curated by the hosts to include just about everything you need. My wife joyously spent all 4 nights in the very spacious tipi (even in a storm) warmed by her campfire while I got cozy by the wood stove in the cabin with the pup, sampling sections of the wonderfully eclectic books that lined the walls while jamming to whiskey blues streaming from the provided Amazon Echo Dot. Mary is an excellent communicator and provided us with a full itinerary’s worth of information and nearby points of interest which was a tremendous aid. There is an amazing farm stand nearby that we bought raw milk, artisan cheeses, eggs and from. The sacred medicine wheel and prayer circle across from the lighted koi pond were serene places to ground, center and reconnect. Plenty of cooking options available: brick pizza oven (!!), gas grill, 2 burner electric stove, electric coffee/teapots, full size fridge/freezer - wonderful setup. Mary even gifted us with a jar of the most exquisite, exotic honey I have ever sampled. I started and ended my vacation days with a mug of chai sweetened by that liquid gold and splash of raw milk from Chase Hill Farm. Heaven on earth- can’t wait to return!

Camping in the cold!

Forest Zz Library Tipi & Pizza Oven

This was a whole vibe! The entire atmosphere was amazing. Mary communicated well and was a joy to work with. This entire property was beautiful and there was so much to do. We went when there was a ton of snow and freezing temperatures, Mary was able to accommodate us and keep us warm and comfortable with options and suggestions. Great trip and will be booking again!

Mary's space was incredibly beautiful. The space felt sacred and magical and deeply relaxing. The cabin had everything we could need and made for a wonderful weekend getaway. I've raved about this place to multiple people and insisted they come here. I'll certainly be returning!
