Hike or bike 2 miles into a completely secluded cabin on 600 acres with panoramic views of the Green Mountains. You’ll arrive to a cozy cabin that can comfortably sleep 2, or up to 4 if needed, equipped with a potbelly stove and basic cooking equipment. The mountain, once a source of wood for the Stanley Tool factory and a site for bridle trails in the summer and Nordic skiing in the winter, is now best known as a the birthplace of the Spartan Race and host of the infamous Death Races, as well being a popular mountain biking destination called the Green Mountain Trails. The trail system boasts 25 miles of flowy trails for all abilities as well as a stone staircase climbing from the base to the top of the trails at Shrek’s Stone Hut. Awake to an incredible sunrise and panoramic Green Mountain views after a night underneath a starry dome unblemished by city lights. Chilly evenings in the hut are easily tempered by a pot belly stove fed by seasoned wood. A built in bunk accommodates two people, but it’s possible to sleep up to four guests.Awake to an incredible sunrise and panoramic Green Mountain views after a night underneath a starry dome unblemished by city lights.

Shrek’s Mountaintop Stone Hut
This place is incredible! I loved everything about it. The trails are super fun and the scenery is gorgeous. The cabin itself is the most charming place I’ve ever stayed! It’s so cozy, especially once you get the wood stove fired up. It’s an easy hike up the green trail to reach Shrek’s (it’s 1.4 miles from the parking lot). The woods right now are green with all sorts of mosses and I heard the drumming of grouse for the first time! Even the grey days were incredible. I spent a good portion of the rainy day by the warm stove in the hammock and reading a book. It felt amazing to truly unplug from electronic devices. I’ve been home for 2 days and I keep thinking about how much I miss the cabin. Matt and I didn’t see each other but he was always quick to answer any questions I had. I’m already looking at future dates for this site. I will definitely be back!

It's truly a little paradise with a big view! Matt is super helpful and responsive. The woodstove gets cranking and it get so warm in there, but it doesn't hold through the night, so it takes lots of waking up and feeding to keep it warm in the cold months, but worth it.

A great place to reconnect
It was a pleasure staying at Shrek's Hut. All the instructions were very clear, trails were well maintained, and the listed supplies were amply provided. The views were spectacular, sleeping was comfortable, and the place is imbued with intention. I used my overnight trip there as a time to reconnect with myself, and the land/stone cabin facilitated that well.

I had a great winter weekend up at Shrek's cabin. The views were fantastic! Had to leave a little early to avoid getting snowed-in, and there were a few bikers, but it was exactly what I needed to start the new year off right. I will be back!
