About this property

Off-Grid Tiny Stargazing Home with Mountain views w. Heat, Outdoor Bath & Wi-Fi

Enjoy glamorous camping 1700 feet above sea level in this tiny house with panoramic views of the Catskill Mountains just 2.5 hours from NYC. Ideal for couples! This tiny house is one of 5 unique structures located on our 4 acre farm. There is basic unlimited Wi-Fi internet and wall mounted propane heater.

Newly constructed in 2021 the 140 square foot house contains a new queen foam mattress (a set of fresh clean towels, sheets, duvet and pillows.), 12 foot high ceiling with exposed wood beams, real pine wall planking, a large-tiny wooden deck and 10 windows with a view.

The space
Inside you'll find raised square dinning table, 2 white adjustable leather bar chairs, washing water tap (with sink to catch water), soap, barbecue cooking supplies, cooking basics (paper plates, silverware, napkins, wine glasses, mugs, basic spices etc.) and 4 gallon cooler pre-filled with frozen ice packs.

There is a brand new porta-potty 50 feet from your cabin for your personal use only.

In addition is a LED flashlight/ lantern with USB port for charging phones and battery powered candle lights that set a great mood and perfect lighting conditions for star gazing.

If you're here during a clear night, you will be dazzled in awe at how clearly you can see the Milky Way from our field.

Beautiful tiny house on remote lawn
We loved the tiny house and the owners were very sweet and accommodating! it was incredibly clean with a lot of nice amenities like the flameless candles, hot water, and a wonderful slight cedar smell. we watched and listened to the rain fall which was very soothing. It rained too much for us as were pretty much stuck inside so we actually threw in the towel and left a day early. the only downsides were that the bed really feels more like a queen instead of a king and that i didn't really understand from the listing just how close we were to the owner's back yard. although they have some walls and curtains to block some views - literally we were right in their yard and we were hoping to be a little more removed. that being said the property is lovely and the area is pretty quiet.

About the host

Hosted by Stephen Pellicano

Host profile image
Hi. I'm Stephen. I began hosting guests in my New York home back in 2009. My first guests were two students from the Czech Republic who stayed one week. In 2010 I hosted 5 international students from Turkey. They were hosted for 3 months because they came to the America for a Work And Travel program and enjoyed working full time at the Zoom Flume Water park.

Then, after a 7 year break, in 2020 I jumped back into renting again. But this time not my house but a glamping barn retreat called the Sun Barn. It went so well, and with so much positive guest feedback, we opened 2 more glamp sites in 2021 and now offer a total of 5 unique stays.

Why they chose this property

I truly believe the grounds of my property have a positive vibe that people can sense. It’s very welcoming, as through the trees are saying, ‘Hello, guest. Breathe in our fresh air, relax, and have a splendid time.’

What makes this property unique

Being at such a high elevation, 1600 feet to be exact, offers spectacular mountain views. Speaking of spectacular, all one has to do is look up. At the end of the day experience a Picasso color filled sunset sky of purples, pinks, oranges and turquoise swirls. After dark, look up again and gasp in awe at how clearly you'll see the stars and Milky Way. No light pollution here and this particular area offers the cleanest air compared to anywhere else in New York State and the entire North East as shown by website windy.com.
