Jesse and Chantel are the kindhearted and dedicated keepers of this beautiful oasis. With twelve acres of pure forest and sweet river waters, our vision is to preserve and honor the ways of our ancestors for seven generations to come; and serve the community by sharing our indigenous practices. We are a healing Native American Sanctuary, and nature is our church so to all who are called to come and be present with gratitude and respect for the power of this planet. Enjoy this majestic sweet forest and feel the beautiful energy it has! We will share our indigenous ways with all who want to come join and pray with us. Each brother and sister will receive cedar to pray with their fire which represents Great Spirit(Yaya Guaturey), you can set your intensions to release what no longer serves your lives, and then to make space to receive what will bring harmony in. The East Mongaup River flows right along our land. We keep it clean and charged with good vibrations. It will surely melt away any stress you carry; sending you back home feeling renewed, restored, and rejuvenated! Our Taino Woods Sanctuary, a.k.a Fairy Magical Sweet Land, of twelve acres in the Catskills is the perfect place to commune in prayer, pitch your tent, gaze up at the stars, and unwind next to a nearby fire. This raw, soft, organic land is a home teeming with life. Listen to the birds as they sing throughout the day and into the night. (We call them the fairies). Look for the curious creatures that walk the earth like the frogs and newts. Open your ears to the sweet sounds of the East Mongaup River; and perhaps take the brief walk down to visit her. We, the land stewards, believe in making a place better than how we found it. We want to preserve the land’s naturalness and ecosystem; so we ask that you do not hurt or remove any of its animals, moss, insects, or plants; and most importantly, do not feed any of them. We look forward to hosting you on a magical journey to inner peace. Thank you and many blessings.

Okama Abon Bell Tent, River View

We had a wonderful time in Chantel and Jesse’s beautiful church! The tent setup was sturdy and charming, and since it was going to be really cold at night, they let us rent a portable heater, which made it really comfortable. We could hear the creek from our deck; it was so peaceful. The facilities were also even nicer than we expected; the compostable toilet is basically a whole bathroom with a shower, and the outdoor kitchen had a sink that was really helpful for washing our camping dishes (as well as a stove and utensils, which I’m sure others who don’t bring their own gear would appreciate). Best of all, our hosts were just so kind, generous, and joyful, from singing in the morning to pleasant conversation whenever we crossed paths. It would be a great place to come back to in the summer with a big group of friends.

Arcabuco (upper camp)

Nothing to complain about

Loved tent camping at Chantel’s land. It was a very peaceful experience for us. Big bonus with having an outdoor shower right outside of the site we picked. Definitely looking to come back and hopefully with some friends. The walk from the parking site to the site was maybe like 5 minutes. If you pack heavy you might have to take a couple trips back and forth or have them take your things which I believed is an amazing service even though we didn’t use it.

Akuniel & Guatu Ninaru -River Sites

From the moment I arrived to when I left, the hosts Chantel and Jessie were warm and friendly. They were very generous and engaging when I asked questions or mentioned I was having trouble. The site itself was beautiful, I stayed at one of the river sites. It was a wonderful experience camping next to a river and hearing it all night long. There was some privacy, as you were not right on top of your neighbor and could enjoy your own private patch of wilderness. They had some amenities onsite that were a nice touch, like the outdoor kitchen, although I did not use it. I would happily book with them again.

Akuniel & Guatu Ninaru -River Sites

It’s magical here.

I was pulled by all the rave reviews about Chantel and Jesse’s beautiful land and campsites. They did not disappoint. We camped on the river sites and it was just as picturesque, serene, gorgeous, magical and romantic as described. It is remote and secluded so there is plenty of privacy. Chantel and Jesse were friendly, accommodating and very helpful hosts. 10/10 would recommend!
