Spring Cabin with Bunnies & Piggies
Ambika, Carlos and Jesse are wonderful, friendly people! We enjoyed chatting with them and hearing their stories very much. What a perfect escape from city life. Doesn't get much better than a sunny fall day taking a shower outside, cooking on an awesome outdoor kitchen setup, then spending all night by the fire. Make sure to pack layers and bundle up at night as the early morning hours are quite brisk even with the space heater provided. Located not far from town, but still very private and secluded on 100 acres of land! It was also so great meeting the piggies (they have such funny personalities). Missing the clean fresh mountain air already and looking to return again soon!

We had a great time
Ambika was a terrific host. My daughter absolutely loved staying there mingling was the chickens, pigs and rabbits.

Spring Cabin with Bunnies & Piggies
Magical woodland respite
Mama Mountain Farm is a unique, woodland respite from the fast paced world beyond. The camper is roomy enough to sleep 4, but you'll want to spend most of your time lazing about in the hammock, sitting at the out door picnic table and cooking in the large 'everything that's old is new again' exterior summer kitchen. I had trepidations about the outdoor curtain-less shower and the doorless out house, but both offered enough privacy to ease the nerves of the shyest in the group, if that doesn't do it for you, simply bring a tension rod, hang a curtain and shower at night. Jesse, our greeter, was a delight, she gave us some history of the farm, her's and the of the resident owner's back to the land, green lifestyle choices and introduced us to the animals. Ambika's thoughtful touches included headlamps, thick woolen blankets, books, fans and all the pots and pans you would ever need for plein air feasting! Wurtsboro's G-Mart (IGA) is only a short ride away, stock up before you arrive, so you can relax and kick back (salt, oil, butter, milk, coffee...not supplied, do pre-purchase firewood and a dozen farm eggs when booking Mama Mountain, for a deliciously fresh and tasty omelettes or fry!) The road in was a challenge, but all a part of the backwoods charm and adventure, nothing a 4-wheel drive can't handle. Once you arrive, you'll have a great sense that it was all worth it!

Magical place. Loved every minute. My daughters made me promise to bring them back.

Really sweet camper in the forest. It's a short walk from Ambika's main house but the camper and campsite is totally private. The animals are such an added bonus to visit each day! The camper is clean and really cozy. The bed was really comfortable and falling asleep to the sound of the forest every night was amazing. There's a small kitchen inside the camper if you didn't want to cook in the outdoor kitchen. The outdoor kitchen has everything you'd need to prepare and cook food and has great shelter. As another reviewer mentioned, walking to the outhouse when it's dark is a bit scary, but totally safe and there's nothing to worry about. Definitely bring a head lamp to walk around at night! Ambika was such a lovely and generous host, the farm fresh eggs were incredible. If you have time, definitely stop into Mountain Dale, such a cute small town with a little of everything (coffee, restaurants, bar, vintage shop, home goods, yoga, etc.)

Our magical family vacation...
Truly a magical trip from start to finish. Everything about this lodging site is even better than described in its listing. Our 3.5yr old had just the best time with all the animals and running through the many acres of fairy tale like forest that the site sits on. Ambika was the perfect host and gave us great tips for where to explore in the area. The cabin itself is so cozy and adorable and the outdoor kitchen was such a fabulous bonus amenity. Seriously everything you need is included. We are very smitten with Spring Cabin (and the piggies) and can’t wait to return again! Thank you for the perfect getaway for our family.
