About this property

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Private and Artistic cabin, Pet friendly, no cleaning fee


Due to a recent question, I would like to make it clear at the start (even though this information is elsewhere in the listing), that the cabin can comfortably sleep 7 if the configuration of single and double beds is fully utilized, and a few more could be squeezed in if the couches and roll away cot are used, BUT my prices are based upon a 4 guest maximum with an additional charge of $35 per person per night over the 4. Now on with the listing:

ARTISTIC LOG CABIN, private and peaceful. Set into a perfect homestead property with fruit trees, berries, gardens and naturally terraced terrain. With woods and old pastures all around, the birds will herald the morning sunrise. Beautiful views from the numerous windows and porch around two sides of house; also, a large slate patio that is perfect for cook outs. Fully appointed kitchen with dishwasher, microwave and two ovens. Cabin accomodates up to 7 people, master bedroom with private bathroom, second bedroom has one double bed, one single and another single in bedroom loft (which kids LOVE). The sunroom has two couches that double as beds. The bedrooms and two bathrooms are upstairs, one bathroom is on the first floor. The cabin is owner built from mostly reused or local materials found in surrounding woods. Each bathroom is a unique work of art and you have never seen a fireplace like this one! The cabin is meant to be an example of how a beautiful, comfortable and functional house can be built for a fraction of the cost using your imagination. 2 night minimum based on up to 4 guests, additional guest $35 each per night.
The cabin is artistic and rustic in nature and in order to appeal to those ideals certain safety considerations are not present in terms of railing heights and spacing, steps inside and out are irregular, balconies inside and out, patios and porches as well as surrounding terrain are all organic and not young child safe and is not suitable for people with mobility issues since bedrooms are up a flight of stairs. Please consider this when planning your trip and feel free to ask for more details.

ALSO AVAILABLE for VACATION RENTAL: Treehouse compound. Two treehouses (one two story, one three story), cooking/eating pavilion, outside shower and firepit. Sleeps 11 total in warmest part of summer (5 in cooler months on either end), very cool! type in 802728 in the "search for" bar to find it on this site.
The cabin is heated and features a kitchen, 4 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a fireplace, a sofa bed, and a coffee maker.

Magical Cabin

This place was simply magical and comfortable to stay. We barely scratched the surface of the amenities like the fireplace and grills but the beds were comfy, the modern heat kept us warm, and the kitchen was easy to use for preparing food. The scenery is gorgeous and it’s quiet and peaceful! I had an enjoyable time walking my dog at night and seeing all the stars out! Rik is an amazing host and like other reviews have said, he greets you with fresh bread which was delicious! He takes the time to walk you through all the ins and outs and is always accessible if you need assistance. Wonderful place to stay and close by to beautiful sights in VT. Loved our weekend getaway!

Awesome Rustic Adventure

We felt very welcome and enjoyed every moment. Rik is an awesome host and the property is unique and fun! It is a large chunk of mountainside with the owner’s (amazing) home, this rental, and a complex of tree-houses. Be prepared for a long, hilly dirt road up to the property. I was very glad I borrowed an AWD vehicle for the trip.

A cosy retreat

We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful and unusual house. It is very cosy with a lot of artistic touches. There is a wonderful harmony between the house and the nature around it. It is perfect as a quiet and cosy retreat. There is a very beautiful and easy walking trail just near the house. We walked a lot, admired beautiful fall foliage, visited a few quaint towns nearby. Rick was an admirable host — very friendly with a lot of local knowledge.

Special Getaway

What an unusual and special place! When we arrived we were greeted by Rik, who was so personable and gracious. He gave us suggestions and information about the area and his hospitality included homemade, delicious bread, fresh eggs and fruit - such a treat! The house is a work of art incorporating the vast property's available wood and stone. It was comfortable for 5 adults and you had the sense you were immersed in the forest - the smells, the birds, the beauty. If you are looking for a hotel-like experience, you may not choose this property, but if you are looking to get away from it all and needing to refresh with positive energy, this home provides a rustic, peaceful stay.

Magical, quiet woods retreat

We had a great stay at this cabin and the property. It's everything the write up says and then some. The owner is a true craftsman with an eye for creativity and for bringing the outside in. I wish I had taken a photo of my review that I left him handwritten in his leather bound book to share with you here. He has thought of everything to provide a peaceful, calm and tranquil getaway. There is so much wildlife to be seen and heard. The cabin is rustic and gave me Hobbit and fairytale vibes. We absolutely loved it and our 7 year old son Elliott gave it a 15 out of 10, ha!

Rik's cabin is nothing short of perfect. Nestled on 85+ acres of the Vermont countryside, the property is like a fairy tale land brought to life - treehouses, a hobbit house, and even a dragon chimney! It's magical. We spent our days exploring the property, sitting by the fire, and just disconnecting from our busy lives. My only complaint is that we didn't stay longer. Thanks to Rik for making us feel welcome and being an attentive host! We'll definitely see you again soon.

Earth centered restoration and renewal in rustic art craft home on enchanted land

This trip suppressed all expectations. Rik was a most attentive host while also allowing us oir privacy. We were greeted warmly upon arrival With a thorough tour of all Options and obvious care for the home and land and our pleasurable Time. Warm homemade bread and farm fresh eggs among other essentials were provided. The home was like a work of art in its construction with relics around every turn. The bathrooms were the opus of the place. Visit each one! Check out the tree houses at the height of land to see more tree crafted wizardry. Warmed by the fire, healed by nature. Not a place to be missed.
