Escape to 'Lil Rita – Your Peaceful Summer Retreat
Tucked away on 6 wooded acres along a quiet country road, ‘Lil Rita is a thoughtfully designed tiny home made for slowing down. Whether you’re seeking a quiet weekend, a solo retreat, or a creative space to work remotely, this cozy spot invites you to unwind in nature.
Designed by @hutsnyc, this 10x20’ cabin blends sleek, minimal architecture with modern comforts. The space includes a full kitchen, wet room bathroom with a shower, and a bright living area with high ceilings and three sliding glass doors that open to the surrounding forest.
Up a sturdy ladder, you’ll find a lofted bedroom with a plush mattress and treetop views. Please note: guests must be comfortable climbing a ladder to access the sleeping loft. The bed is full-size and tucked into a peaceful perch under the vaulted ceiling.
On the main floor, you’ll find a dining table for two, a fully equipped kitchenette, and a cozy sitting area for reading, journaling, or simply watching the light move through the trees.
Satellite WiFi is available, making it easy to check emails or texts. The speed is not strong enough for gaming, streaming or remote work.
Outside, enjoy six private acres filled with ferns, wildlife, and wooded walking paths. You’re just a short drive to hiking trails, swimming holes, and the Catskills’ most charming villages, including Andes, Bovina, and Delhi.
Pet Policy
We welcome one well-behaved dog with prior approval and a pet fee. Sorry, no cats allowed.
This is a peaceful place meant for quiet stays. It’s ideal for solo travelers, and couples looking to relax in a natural setting.
Guests have access to the entire cabin. There is a shed at the front of the property that is used for storage and not included in the reservation.
‘Lil Rita is set up for comfort and clarity—with just enough essentials and nothing unnecessary. From the wood siding to the clean lines and thoughtful layout, every detail was made for slow mornings, quiet nights, and easy living.
Book your stay today and experience the stillness, beauty, and quiet magic of summer in the Catskills.
