About this cabin rental

In this current time of concern over the Covid-19 coronavirus, I would like to assure all my up coming and future guests that every effort is taken to thoroughly clean and disinfect the entire cabin between guests. I have also decided to block of a couple of days between guests (sometimes that actually turns into multiple days based upon reservations) to futher mitigate any possible transmission of germs. Also understand that the cabin is private and located away from other people in a township with a small population.
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. $200 per night, 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. Please consider this when planning a trip with young children 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.

House is everything you’d want in a Vermont stay. Used for a group showing at HITS Vermont summer horse show. I don’t know who loved it more, the people or our dogs.

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.

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!

We loved staying at this cabin. The details are so beautiful. The cabin is charming and has a lovely view. It wasn't hard to get to, but it was perfectly secluded. I'm so glad we stayed here and if we come back to the area, we are definitely going to stay here again.

The house is very cool with nature themed thing incorporated into the features like a cave bath and a "tree house" bed loft you get to by climbing a branch ladder. You can tell the owner put a lot of care and effort into the place, he is a very nice and friendly person who offered us bread and eggs from his farm.

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.

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.

Even though it was a rainy Vermont weekend we still had an absolute wonderful time at this beautifully crafted home, it's like staying in a story book the pictures do not do it justice, the home itself is ecofriendly which I appreciated, but did not skimp on luxury, each room makes you feel like a kid again and are living in an artists treehouse. Views from all windows are stunning, walks around the property as well. There's lots to do locally from hikes to skiing, but we really never wanted to leave. Thank you Rik!!

Rik was a fabulous host. He was unable to meet us upon arrival but Teri did. She showed us all we needed to know about the house and was so nice. We were welcomed with fresh eggs , fruit and some delicious bread. The cabin was very comfortable, clean and homey. You have to love the water fall and rock shower. So many nice details and craftsman details all about the cabin. I am looking forward to booking again in autumn. I’m sure the foliage will be beautiful.

This is the place you'll want to stay in if you're interested in touring the nearby cities. It is serene and you're surrounded by nature. I cannot express how fresh the air is in the morning; it's quite something else to be breathing it in first thing after you wake up!

We found Rik’s place very homey, cozy and peaceful. We can appreciate all the artistic, creative and whimsical touches throughout the house. There’s a lot to explore in the surroundings; both on the property and in the surrounding towns. The yard is full of fruit trees, berry bushes and grape arbors with a surprising “creature” tucked in the back. We slept like logs in a very comfy bed with the windows open and awoke to the sounds of birds and a rooster! So many great places to explore- we couldn’t get to all of them! Rik met us at the house at check in and gave us lots of tips and recommendations of places to visit, explore and shop. It’s a great spot to stay and we look forward to returning again soon.

This was our second time staying at Rick's lovely house, and we have already rented it again for next summer and plan to keep renting it when we vacation in VT. We have been vacationing in this part of VT for decades and have rented a lot of places. This is only one of two rentals we have stayed at consistently. We love the grounds and the house, so peaceful and cozy. Many nooks around the house to relax and enjoy nature and the beauty of the house. Just note that if you are looking for a rental with brand new appliances or decor, this may not be your place. If you like nature, whimsical and rustic places and comfort, then you will like this rental.

The house is so much more than what is in pictures. The handmade wood is everywhere and the space is astonishing. You are nestled in the trees with so many options for outdoor spaces. Part of being in the woods is that there are a lot of creatures around! But each place we looked we gasped at the magic and beauty. Rik is very thorough and precise and very helpful.

Our stay at this artistic mountain home was a unique blend of natural beauty and creative architecture. From its remarkable woodwork to the panoramic views, the property left us in awe. Every detail in the house spoke of thoughtful design and artistic flair. Nestled amidst the mountains, the serene surroundings amplified the comfort within the home. This artistic retreat wasn't just a vacation but a revitalizing escape. We left feeling recharged and inspired. An unforgettable, highly recommended getaway!

Our stay at Hermit Thrush Treehouse was just what we needed for a weekend away from the everyday business of life. The lodge and treehouses were secluded, private, peaceful and oh, so relaxing. We loved our host, Rik, who provided beautifully created and handcrafted lodging; clean and well equipped. The space and company was "down-to-earth", bringing us back to what is really important in life; quiet, nature, relationships, a connection to our spiritual selves. The addition of fresh eggs from Theresa's chickens and milk & butter from a local farm was icing on the cake, as they say. We will be back again!

The cabin is beautiful with a quiet setting. beautiful grounds and the artistic flair is refreshing! And the main floor shower is incredible. It's now on our "to-do" list ! :-) We would love to visit again!

Quiet, wooded, serene cabin. Our daughter loved the loft, a little “tween” hangout. Nicely appointed kitchen, one of a kind bathrooms. Nice place to disconnect from the buzz of the everyday world.

Definitely needed this vacation and this house delivered. It was our first family vacation since our daughter was born in January and it was a great way to reconnect and spend time together. The only complaint I would have is that (while probably not needed) my new mom anxiety didn't love the lack of a lock on the front door. Other than that I wouldn't change a thing.

I'm 63, I went with my 25 year old son and our 5 year old Lab. We have had some sad happenings within the family thru the past few years. The host, " Rik ", the cabin, the location, the stars at night near the campfire, The birds singing all day. For us, It was magical. The creativity that Rik put into this cabin, is 2nd to none.

Like all the other guests, we were blown away by the amazing bread and fresh eggs Rik left us. The house is a habitable work of art, with beautiful, creative features everywhere you look.

Rik is a great host, we were greeted by freshly baked rosemary bread, which we enjoyed all weekend. The Logcabin was more than unique, always finding something new as we navigated around. The tree houses on the property were also pretty cool to take a look at. Will definitely come back again.

There's not much more to add to the other reviews except for the advice to definitely check out all four bathrooms in the cabin - the one on the bottom floor has a hand-made rock grotto which is a fairyland place to take a bath! Also, Rik's treehouses are so imaginative and are not to be missed. Very quiet and private location to relax and revive.

We wanted to celebrate our sons 8th birthday and booked this cottage. Rik was so helpful from the start with prompt communication and also informing the particulars of the property. It’s a cottage built by him with a lot of care and attention to detail. There’s live wood and tree trunks used all across. The washrooms were so beautiful with a cave like feel. Kids absolutely loved it. We were greeted with freshly baked rosemary bread and also fresh eggs from chickens on the property. (Yes Rik has his own chickens) He lives very close to the cottage in a hobbit home (which is a must see too) We also loved exploring the grounds around the cottage and kids did some sledding. Overall it was a great retreat from the city and we will visit again in summers ! Thanks Rik for your hospitality

We had such a great time staying at this cabin! The host was absolutely awesome and was very helpful! Rik lives on the property but will not bother you. He’s available anytime though if needed.
