Private Sauna, 2 Fire Pits | 2 Houses, Sleeps 16

Two separate houses on 6.7 wooded acres with a six-person sauna that is yours alone, booked together for your group of up to 16. Two kitchens, two living rooms, two fire pits, a deep soaking tub, and a pack-and-play in each house. After a day of hiking or adventures on the river, come relax your weary muscles in the sauna. About two hours from the George Washington Bridge, ten minutes from the Delaware River, twenty-five from Bethel Woods. Gather in one house, retreat to the other.

Elm House and Ash Cottage are about 20 feet apart on the same wooded property. Booked together they sleep 16 across six bedrooms and four full bathrooms, so a big family or two or three families can share meals and evenings without sharing every room.
Elm House, the white house, has two king bedrooms, a bunk room with four twin beds, a bathroom with a deep soaking tub, a second bathroom with a walk-in shower, a sunroom, and an open living and dining area with forest views.
Ash Cottage, the black cabin, has a king suite with its own bathroom and a private patio, a queen bedroom, a bunk room with four twin beds, a second full bathroom, and an open living room and kitchen.
Both kitchens are fully equipped with full-size appliances, cookware and everyday essentials. Each house has a pour-over coffee setup (Fellow Opus grinder, gooseneck kettle, V60, scale), a Roku smart TV, in-home laundry, a pack-and-play, and memory foam mattresses with blackout curtains in every bedroom. Every room has its own remote-controlled heat and air conditioning.
The six-person sauna sits between the two houses and is private to your group.
Outside, each house has its own fire pit and seating, there are decks and a stream at the edge of the woods, and the whole 6.7 acres to explore.

Check-in is self-guided.
We send a separate door code for each house before you arrive, and the path and driveway lights come on at dusk. Park at the top of the driveway; there is room for the whole group.

Everything on the property is yours: both houses, the sauna, both fire pits, all decks and outdoor seating, and the 6.7 acres. Nobody else stays on the property during a two-cabin booking.

We respect our guests’ privacy but are always available if you need anything.

Before arrival you’ll receive a detailed welcome guide with everything you need for a smooth stay, including check-in instructions, house information, and local recommendations.
During your stay, we’re just a message away if you have questions or need assistance.

The Delaware River is ten minutes away at Barryville, with canoe and tube rentals through mid-October and the Hawk`s Nest drive on Route 97 for foliage.

Narrowsburg`s Main Street has restaurants, a coffee shop and a theater; Callicoon has a cidery and a small movie house. Eldred Preserve, five minutes away, has a restaurant and fishing ponds. In winter, bald eagles gather along the river and reservoirs, and Ski Big Bear is about fifteen minutes away.
