I cannot rave enough about this place!! Lovingly constructed by artist couple Rich and Mina, the four dwellings on this property are each unique, beautifully crafted, thoughtfully detailed, and nestled among the breathing backdrop of the Catskills. And all built to be run sustainably. There are four sites/types of dwellings (you can view photos on their website - I don't even want to post too many to not spoil the delight and surprise of discovering for yourself): Forest Belle, Bellfire Tipi, the Birdhouse, and Cosmic Nomad - which is the wagon we stayed in as it's the only one that sleeps four with 2 beds (double queen bunks) and is perfect for a little family. It is decorated like a gypsy caravan and is so cozy, cute, and comfortable! We marveled over the exquisite and intricate workmanship of the carpentry, the folksy & fabulous interior decorative design, and the charming little touches that elegantly express the love and labor that have gone into the creation of this magical place. It's so full of personality and wonder! The surroundings are stunning, with amenities such as a sun shower, sauna & cold plunge, yoga deck, private fire pits, and plenty of space to roam around the fields or stargaze. Even the bathrooms are adorable! One is assigned to each cabin. The area is peaceful, lush, serene, and private. Being used to camping and not glamping, I packed way more than I needed (Rich was kind enough to give us and our multitude of bags a lift in his golf cart as our cabin is at the very back of the property). Pretty much everything you need, apart from personal toiletries, are provided - comfortable bedding, grill & charcoal, picnic table, fresh water, paper plates/cups & bamboo utensils, single burner stove, tea kettle, etc. There is also a sweet little gift shop that sells firewood and some handmade items. The hosts could not have been lovelier or more hospitable. Mina even gave us some eggs from her hens! They are such an inspiration, as is this gorgeous slice of heaven they've brought to life. It's a great place to get away from the city and relax in nature, especially if you enjoy outdoors activities. There are a few small, sparse but cute towns in the vicinity, with good restaurants. Nearby there's the Catskills Scenic Trail, Mount Utsanyantha Fire Tower (cool views), Mine Kill State Park, and other local trails. And you can also hit up most of the 3500 peaks within a 30-60 min drive (Balsam Lake, Big Indian, Slide, Hunter-Westkill, Indian Head, Kaaterskill wilderness areas). Absolutely love Bellfire...it has my highest recommendation! read more
