Unique, Off-the-grid Cabin in New York

Overview of the Unique Cabin

You'll want to take a look inside this unique vacation cabin building located in Hudson, New York, United States. The off-grid cabin can accommodate up to 2 guests with 1 bedroom. During your vacation stay, you'll have the entire tiny house to yourself. You can enjoy a quiet respite from the city in this architect-designed tiny cabin that overlooks a meadow, deep in the woods. The cabin is located on 20 acres of land with private trails and Catskill-mountain views, this bespoke wood cabin feels blissfully far away from everything, yet it's only a 15-minute drive from the vibrant city of Hudson, New York. You'll experience a peaceful off-the-grid vacation retreat, complete with a hand-crank Victrola. Time moves slower at the cabin. The sky is closer, and the stars are brighter. You'll want to note that there is no electricity and no running water.

Interior Features and Comforts

The cabin setting is intimate, serene, and secluded. The cabin has clerestory windows which contribute to a sculptural play of light against the gently angled, hand-plastered walls. Downstairs is a bold, vintage-inspired ceramic tile floor, a wood-burning stove, and a bay window with a window seat for long, lazy afternoons of reading and relaxing. Upstairs you'll find the loft bedroom which features wide, white-washed pine floors, a comfortable full-size bed, and hand-crafted cabinets. You'll savor the pleasures of camping, of being close to nature while experiencing the comforts of an idiosyncratic, beautifully designed tiny house abode. The cabin is well insulated, so it stays cool in the summer and warms up quickly in the colder winter months. The tiny cabin comes with a supply of drinking water. During your vacation stay, cooking can be done indoors, on the wood-burning stove, or outside, on the Weber grill. There is plenty of firewood (walnut, harvested from the property) that awaits you.
