Our Mt Laurel Cabin is nestled among the Mountain Laurel in the woods near the top of the hill. It's a magical setting where you are surrounded by Mt. Laurel branches which line the walls and arch over your bed! Included with this cabin is the unique and spaciuous Rustic Kitchen for all of your cooking and indoor dining needs.

Please note that Sticks and Stones Farm is a drug and alcohol free property and we request that all of our guests respect and adhere to our policy. Thank you!

The space
ABOUT THE CABIN:

Our rustic Mountain Laurel Cabin is a favorite among guests. Voted Most Romantic, the cabin is nestled down in a glen providing plenty of privacy and all the green you can gather in! You will most certainly feel like you’re in a little love nest the way that the Mountain Laurel branches provide interesting structure along the inside walls of the cabin. THERE IS NO ELECTRICITY IN THIS CABIN.

This is a single screened in room with a double bed, wicker bench, table, battery powered string lights and drinking water. This cabin is the most magnificent in the morning when the first rays of sun stream in through the dense foliage. This cabin is located behind the Rustic Kitchen which is for the exclusive use of this cabin.

The Rustic Kitchen is a large space with all of the basics for cooking as well as an indoor picnic table for indoor dining should that be preferred.

PLEASE NOTE
-The bathroom is not located in the cabin. Both the bathroom and showers are a few minute walk away and are located separately.

-There is a private fire pit located just above the cabin at the Rustic Kitchen.

The kitchen includes cookware, plates, french press, utensils, a stove, grill, coolers with ice, olive oil, salt/pepper, drinking water and a sink with running water (not potable)! Lighting is limited and we always encourage people to bring their own additional lighting.

All cabins have their own fire pit which is noted in their individual descriptions. Fires are not allowed to be made in non-designated places! Please Note per Connecticut state law - firewood cannot be brought in from out of the state. 

We restock ice and other goods daily and thus try to make ourselves as available and accommodating to changing needs as possible - we have some individuals living on the property who can be available in case of emergency.

Guest access
60 acres of woods, trails, river, ponds, unique structures, 54' moss and stone Chartre Labyrinth and a zig zag path on Moss Mountain. Please be advised that while we have two ponds during times of drought the water level may be too low to allow for swimming.

Lives in Newtown, Connecticut
Sticks and Stones Farm is located on the land of the Pootatuck and Paugussett people. All who work and live here now strive to create a container of love, contemplation, and joy! We hope you feel inspired to do the same and leave here feeling emboldened to follow your bliss. You'll find an extensive network of trails spanning our 60 acres. Take time to explore them and you’ll surely come across some magic. There is a Stone Labyrinth along the Pootatuck River, a place perfect for crawfish hunting. Be sure to also discover the magical Moss Walk which weaves up Moss Mountain. We sell and install our moss and boulders for gardens on a large and small scale. Even though it's serene here we still have A LOT going on! A number of non profits work cooperatively on this land. On the weekdays we're swarming with kids from Two Coyotes Wilderness School as they learn how to track animals and start fires. Real Food Share manages our century bio intensive garden with the aim of getting more fresh produce to those who are food insecure. Love Has a Home hosts a variety of healing events from film screenings to drum circles. Rowanwood Farm brings her llamas here for people to walk through the woods with. If you're interested in learning more about any of our partners or participating in programs during your stay please ask directly after booking a cabin.
