Located atop a ravine, centered on a 24 acre estate, in rural NH, this spot is a cozy retreat in nature with a few present day necessities. Our Cabin is a unique A-frame/Salt box combo that we call the “G-Frame” (designed and built by us). The interior space is open and airy. There are a few large windows allowing nature to be part of your experience indoors. In the cooler months bring firewood for the woodstove and sauna.Plenty of land for outdoor activities.

The space
Built in 2019, this cabin is 196 square ft, with a loft bed, kitchenette, dining table, loveseat, wood stove and Nature's Head Compost Toilet (indoors!). This is off the grid yet is solar powered with 4 electrical outlets (including USB ports). There is a downloadable app that will keep track of power usage, and we ask that guests use it responsibly without draining the battery.

The Loft has a step ladder, a medium plush king sized memory foam mattress with bedding and views through the pyramid window. There is a small over head window in the loft as well, for crisp air and sounds of nature.

There is a one burner Coleman butane stove for one pot meals and such, a few plates, utensils, French press (4 coffee), cups, tea box, small + medium pots, very small cast iron pan, a couple of Tea mugs etc. The ceramic sink in the kitchenette is for hand washing and other small items. We will provide two 5 gallon BPA free jugs (which we can refill when possible).

The bathroom is the only private room in the cabin, with space to change clothes and what have you. There is a wonderful composting commode (with specific care instructions), and a vintage medicine cabinet.

There are 2 wireless rechargeable lanterns (one in the bathroom and one on the kitchenette shelf) that are moveable, and fairy lights that line a few ceiling walls (with remote and settings). The window for the woodstove provides some firelight...please do some fire starting/woodstove research if you’ve never used one.

The Barrel Sauna is a small 6’x6’ wood burning sauna. There is a small black door to the woodstove at the exterior back of the sauna, to build the fire in. In the winter, it’s invigorating to jump in the snow once you’re hot, or to rinse with cold water. There are a few small drainage holes in the sauna for water... (please no soap shampoo/conditioner rinsing inside though). We recommend bringing body wipes for before and after sauna.

Inside the cabin, there is some photography and artwork made by us, as well as other pieces that we've collected from all over. There are a few art books and Mags. SCRABBLE etc... It is our hope that we are sharing a space conducive for respite, connection to nature, each other, or to one’s own peace passion and creativity....

Please make sure to read the listing thoroughly as there is much information detailing what to expect. There is also a safety and liability agreement under house rules that guests agree to when booking.

Guest access
Guests will have access to 20 acres of land, which is great for nature walks, snowshoeing and cross country skiing (in the winter months). Guests are welcome to explore but are requested to respect the privacy of the Glampers in the first field and the residents in the main house, which are both approx 1000ft from the cabin.

It is important that guests stay on this property. If you’ve crossed a stone wall then you are trespassing on our neighbors land.

Other things to note
By completing this booking, you confirm that you have read, understand, and agree to this safety and liability acknowledgment, located under house rules.

If you have things that need refrigeration please bring a cooler (we don’t have a fridge as space is limited and it uses too much power).

There isn’t a shower or hot water.

For cold winter months we recommend 2 bundles of dry slow burning wood per day. We have fire starters but a few pieces of kindling is helpful bring. If you plan to use the sauna we suggest another bundle for that! In these cold winter months you can load that Woodstove up to get it very hot. A few pieces of wood won’t be enough.

Guests will park at the main house and cart necessities to the cabin by foot.

Neighborhood highlights

Sanbornton is a vast rural town with a small historic town square and one general store. That said there are some wonderful farms and privately owned businesses as well as beautiful back roads, scenic views, and lots of nature. We are located 5 minutes off of 93, and 10 minutes to Tilton which has large chain restaurants and shops, an outlet mall, a brewery and a few good restaurants. We are also located in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire, close to some beautiful lakes, ski resorts and hikes. At the edge of our property there is a view of Highland Mountain (sometimes viewable from the cabin), which is a world-renowned mountain biking spot. This location is also great because we are in reasonable driving distance to the white mountains and Franconia but also Boston.
