faq
is my rental secluded?
our property is 8 acres, exactly the same as seven football fields All the windows and doors face the woods and no other structures are visible from them. We added fence panels to make it even more private. We have attached a satellite picture of the property to give you a better idea.
1 As required by zoning law, there is a larger cabin on the property. (30 meters away) from your front door. The fact that your door is facing away from the house and into the forest, adds to the visual isolation. The reviews left by previous guests might help you determine the level of seclusion.
2 Another tiny house (called Venster) is 30 meters from your rental. Again, maximum visual isolation is insured by fence panels and orienting them away from each other.
we are located in a rural hamlet and a mile down the road there is a tiny town with two cafes , two bars and two restaurants But your place is one New York block distance away from the street towards a tree filled uninhabited area, adding to the sense of seclusion.
we do have a doorbell camera, but it only captures a small section of the deck We can only see when people are stepping on the deck.
can we drink the tap water?
we have well water, and the water has hardness and sulfur We have three sediment filters from 5 to 50 microns, one hard water treatment and one sulfur treatment system. Drinking non reverse Osmosis treated well water is a personal choice and we will leave it up to you. Please note that every morning the sulfur filter cleans itself and for those few minutes if you use the water, it will smell of sulfur.
i have never been in a tiny house, what can i expect?
the "tiny house nation" style tiny houses are around 144 to 250 sqft, ours is 144 sqft So, we are on the "smaller" side. Our guests have commented that its actually does not feel cramped. You will have heating, AC, hot shower, flushing toilet, kitchenette for basic cooking, small fridge, queen bed etc. You also have a private deck and a private outdoor fireplace to make S'mores and to grill. Like the house the hot water tank is tiny. It can only hold 7 gallons. So, on a cold February night. with 117 F average water temperature, the shower will only last 5:40 mins at 2 GPM. (actual test results). In summer /or with lower water temperature or/ with lower GPM, it will last longer. After that you have to wait 15 to 20 minutes for the water to get hot again.
does it have a flushing toilet?
yes And it's probably the most water efficient toilet out there.
are pets allowed?
yes! we love pets We just require that they should never be left alone and please pick up after them. Our cleaning company charges a pet fee. If you forgot to pay it or decided to bring a pet last minute, please leave the amount as a tip to the cleaners. That way the cleaners get to keep the money and then they won't report the pet to the cleaning company. This also saves us the hassle of going back and forth with the cleaning company, reviewing the camera footage and ultimately paying it out of our own pockets. Also, please keep in mind that the house is really small at 144 sqft. which may be too cramped for some large dogs.
i work from home, how is the wi-fi?
we have had multiple guests who worked from home during the pandemic Our provider is spectrum (the monopoly in the area). Luckily, outages are very rare and get fixed promptly (you may have to restart the router). Speed is always good for multiple simultaneous video calls and movie streaming.
can we grill/bbq/ have a fire?
first of all, safety open fires can cause forest fires and hence are not allowed in the area. However, we provide a closed fireplace that's much safer. You can barbecue, grill, makes s'mores etc. Please use it for fire and do not light a fire anywhere else including candles.
do you provide firewood?
not yet! you do not need firewood to heat the house If you want to use the outdoor fireplace, all local stores like Walmart, Stewart gas stations etc. sell firewood.
what about towels-soap-linens-hot water? is there heating/cooling? can we cook?
yes! yes! yes! and yes! think of all the amenities a hotel provides plus a tiny kitchen Hot plate, refrigerator, electric kettle, drip coffee, plates, cutlery - we have all that we could cram into the tiny space. our guests use the outdoor fireplace for bbq and smores!
can i check in early? or check out late?
no and yes Due to the super strict covid19 cleaning process, we can no longer offer early check in. However, we can offer late checkout up to an hour. Please inform us in advance so that the cleaning crew can adjust accordingly.
how far are you from x?
just put leads, new york in the maps app and that almost accurately shows where we are 15 mins - Hudson, 35 mins- Albany, 25 mins- Kaaterskill falls. We are very close to exit 21 off of I-87.
i don't want to drive a car can i still get there?
it's possible but it won't be very convenient Our other location in Palenville is walking distance to the bus station and also in summer there is a trolley that takes you to all the hiking spots and little towns. This location is a little too far for walking and there is no trolly transportation.
