The renovated 40-footer is a "high cube" container, with 9' 6" ceilings, household 120v electricity, Wifi, refrigerator/freezer, new shower, wood-fired hot tub, La Colombe coffee service, a dedicated bedroom (with a door and room for a crib or luggage), tiled bathroom, percale linens, and a beautiful deck overlooking it's own waterfall and stream. It is not like other tiny home compounds in the area that have dozens of units set 10 feet away from one another. This cabin sits on its own stunning 5-acre parcel in the middle of an old-growth forest, slate ledges, a stream and resident owls and deer. In the summer, a breeze off the 3,645-foot mountain behind us keeps the container cool, and the sound of the waterfall will put you to sleep.
Living in a container cabin is kind of like living on a boat - in the middle of the woods. Our inspiration was to create an immersive low-carbon wilderness experience with the comforts of home. The cabin is toasty in the winter with a propane Rinnai heater—in addition to the wood stove. There is a hammock and a bridge over the stream to an adjacent promontory with a second fire ring and seating. There's also a Finnish sauna just down the hill that you can book private sessions in (no added charge, book as many sessions as you want).
The private wood-fired hot tub is set on a rock promontory overlooking the stream. Gaze at the stars or at deer passing by as you soak... The bathroom has a new shower and a compost toilet that works pretty much like a regular toilet.
Staying in a 4-season container cabin is not like living in a house or a hotel room or even a glamping tent. It is like living in the wild, except you are encased in high-efficiency insulated walls with giant low-energy windows—and sleeping on a comfortable bed. You can watch shooting stars from the living room. You will likely see a family of deer wandering through the woods while you make coffee. If it's cold outside (with the direct vent propane heater and wood stove it's always warm inside) we usually fire up the sauna and lounge around drinking coffee. (You can book multiple 120-minute private sauna sessions, no extra charge.) If it's warm, we leave the double doors open and lounge around the patio.
The heater has a thermostat—set it and forget it. The bathroom is tiled and located next to the bedroom. The wood stove has a glass door with ceramic baffles, reburners and a blower for maximum heat. High-efficiency insulated walls keep the cabin warm in the winter and cool in the summer. There is a refrigerator with a freezer box. The bedroom is like a nature capsule with a 7'x7' picture window at the foot of the bed and a 7'x8' sliding glass door on the south wall.
Staying in the cabin is an experience, not a simple overnight. On a 20-degree night in the middle of a blizzard, it is 80 degrees and silent inside. There are enough pots/pans/kitchen tools to cook whatever you want. (Yes, we have a coffee grinder.) There is a gas grill and a two burner propane cooktop in the kitchen. (No smoking inside, please, plenty of room to smoke on the deck outside...)
Saugerties is a gem. Miss Lucy's (dinner), The Local (music), Circle W General Store (breakfast/lunch), Phos and Casa Susanna (dinner). Walking to the lighthouse is a must, as is hiking to Kaaterskill Falls, Huckleberry Point and North and South Lakes. Hunter Mountain is also 30 minutes away for skiing. Food shopping and farm stands are 10-15 min away.
