a largely off-the-grid, truly unique, 420-friendly cabin and YURT in beautiful Livingston Manor. A ‘tiny house’ with every conceivable amenity—full kitchen, hot shower, indoor toilet, woodstove, spacious living room, enormous sleeping loft, speakers for your music, excellent wi-fi—thoughtfully arranged to maximize space and ease of use. The house is at the end of a shale road on a blueberry orchard. Guests are invited to pick all the fruit they like. The hillside’s high elevation provides an oasis of cooler temperatures during every summer heat wave. The panoramic view of the Catskills from the front porch has to be seen to be appreciated. across the property, smack in the middle of the blueberry bushes, is the latest addition to our eco-getaway: a YURT. It’s a slightly larger tiny house, albeit a round one with walls of cloth instead of wood. Like the cabin, the YURT has a full kitchen, hot shower, indoor toilet, woodstove, etc. If glamping is your thing, come and spend a night or two under the stars while sleeping indoors. while the setting is delightfully off the beaten path, it’s also a short drive to the cafés, breweries, and eateries in the charming hamlet of Livingston Manor. World class hiking, swimming, camping, and fishing is even closer. (Camping and hiking gear provided.) perhaps most importantly, our place offers more than a getaway. Guests learn how hygienic a composting toilet is, how easily a spring provides water for one’s home, the joys of heating with wood, etc. A few days on the blueberry patch is both a rewarding glimpse of the sustainable life and an invaluable education in how comfortable a small house can be. If you’re considering procuring your own, spending time in one of ours will help you decide if such a home is right for you.

Martin was a very generous host with a beautiful property. We had no trouble finding or accessing his place. The small wood burning stove kept the cabin very warm. We enjoyed the privacy and the views from the porch.

A Lovely Weekend Getaway

Site 1 - Catskills tiny house cabin

My partner and I stayed at Martin’s tiny house for her birthday and for some stargazing. The grounds were very private, but not in the middle of nowhere. The view off the porch and from inside the house of the surrounding area was great. We stayed just as the trees were starting to turn, so we woke up to beautiful autumnal views raked with golden light from the rising sun. The kitchen and other amenities made it an excellent glamping experience. The wood stove kept us very toasty, with more than enough wood to keep it running for our stay. Martin was an amazing host. Both accommodating and super friendly. The nearby town of Livingston Manor has some great little shops and cafes. We definitely recommend a stay here, and plan on coming back in the future!

We had a great time at this cabin! Quiet, peaceful, and had all the amenities you could ask for. Would love to come back some time.

Martin was a solid dude, easy going. The near by towns were cute and there’s some easy but rewarding hikes close by. It was secluded but still easy to get to. We will probably go back in the winter:)

Marty was a very hospitable host. The tiny cabin was awesome (and inspiring). A perfect spot for a winter stay. Will definitely be considering taking a tiny house workshop from him in the future. We were pleasantly surprised and impressed with everything that was available. From the shower, the kitchen, to the wood stove, and the very generous supply of firewood. It was the perfect girls' weekend getaway. Marty was very communicative, willing to offer a helping hand if needed, but also very respectful of our privacy (which was appreciated). Would definitely book again!

My girlfriend and I wanted to be off the grid with our fur babies but, realized the door to the cabin did not lock. The host arrived more than once during our stay which made us feel very uncomfortable. He requested “booze” more than once on our first night. The following day he opened the door while we were inside and my dog quickly got up but, it just wasn’t something we signed up for. We decided to pack and leave. I’m just writing this to alert others (especially women) if traveling alone. I must mention the views from the cabin were beautiful even with all the snow. Cabin was small but big at the same time and remained warm. The walk from the car was doable.
