Private and Artistic cabin, Pet friendly, no cleaning fee
Due to a recent question, I would like to make it clear at the start (even though this information is elsewhere in the listing), that the cabin can comfortably sleep 7 if the configuration of single and double beds is fully utilized, and a few more could be squeezed in if the couches and roll away cot are used, BUT my prices are based upon a 4 guest maximum with an additional charge of $35 per person per night over the 4. Now on with the listing:
ARTISTIC LOG CABIN, private and peaceful. Set into a perfect homestead property with fruit trees, berries, gardens and naturally terraced terrain. With woods and old pastures all around, the birds will herald the morning sunrise. Beautiful views from the numerous windows and porch around two sides of house; also, a large slate patio that is perfect for cook outs. Fully appointed kitchen with dishwasher, microwave and two ovens. Cabin accomodates up to 7 people, master bedroom with private bathroom, second bedroom has one double bed, one single and another single in bedroom loft (which kids LOVE). The sunroom has two couches that double as beds. The bedrooms and two bathrooms are upstairs, one bathroom is on the first floor. The cabin is owner built from mostly reused or local materials found in surrounding woods. Each bathroom is a unique work of art and you have never seen a fireplace like this one! The cabin is meant to be an example of how a beautiful, comfortable and functional house can be built for a fraction of the cost using your imagination. 2 night minimum based on up to 4 guests, additional guest $35 each per night. The cabin is artistic and rustic in nature and in order to appeal to those ideals certain safety considerations are not present in terms of railing heights and spacing, steps inside and out are irregular, balconies inside and out, patios and porches as well as surrounding terrain are all organic and not young child safe and is not suitable for people with mobility issues since bedrooms are up a flight of stairs. Please consider this when planning your trip and feel free to ask for more details.
ALSO AVAILABLE for VACATION RENTAL: Treehouse compound. Two treehouses (one two story, one three story), cooking/eating pavilion, outside shower and firepit. Sleeps 11 total in warmest part of summer (5 in cooler months on either end), very cool! type in 802728 in the "search for" bar to find it on this site.

Cabin was very cozy and unique. The property is pretty cool and got to check out the tree houses as well. Host met us when we arrived and provided us with some general instructions, some fresh bread and eggs. Enjoyed our time!
This was such a beautiful cabin with the coolest bathrooms and stunning property. Rik was easy to communicate with, accommodating to an early check in, and totally unphased by our big dog!!
This was such an incredible stay, Rik and Teri were wonderful hosts and were so thoughtful and thorough with walking us through everything when we arrived. The location was so beautiful in the winter and the cabin itself was clean, and stocked! Such an inspiring stay, if you’re a fellow creative I highly recommend if you need a recharging, inspiring get away!!
Everything about the stay was fantastic. This is our second time and we plan to come back. Rik is an incredible host and probably most creative person I’ve ever met.
What a cool place to spend a few days, Rik was a great host. A unique building with so many "scratch your head", "how did he do this?" things to see. Loved the peace and quiet, deer in the backyard, and the fireplace. (Temp was in the teens) Too much snow to really get to see all the property, will have to come back in the fall, but a great visit.
Absolutely amazing experience from beginning to end! Rik was very accommodating but also ensured we had privacy and peace. The cabin and property as a whole are obviously unique and beautiful. We'll definitely be coming back!
Cabin was comfortable for a weekend of work. Wi-Fi supported all our laptops and phones. We went for a walk in the middle of the day, the property and surrounding area is beautiful.
Rik and Teri were the perfect hosts. We had such a lovely time at this magical property. This is a perfect getaway for people looking for a retreat from the world.
First vacation in over 25 years it was perfect It couldn’t be better the cabin was fascinating whimsical just made you smile love the place looking to go back.
The Pictures only show so much because the cabin was even better in person!! What a great place and the bathrooms are so unique and cool! We ad a wonderful time and the owner was so friendly and hospitable! Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet peaceful getaway!
My wife and I have been visiting Rik’s cabin for 6 years now and always have a great stay. Rik is a wonderful host, the cabin and area are beautiful, and the entire property has surprises whichever way you go.
Our host was very welcoming. The cabin was very clean and just unique and beautiful!
Beautiful cabin! Very clean, our host Rik was so nice and welcoming. His cabin is beyond unique! Found two beautiful restaurants nearby. We had a beautiful weekend getaway!
The house is very quiet. Lots of nature and outside opportunities. A good place to relax.

About the host
Hosted by Rik Sassa
I am a stone mason/carpenter/artist that believes in living simply and close to nature. I enjoy creating spaces for people to use and demonstrating that living spaces can be beautiful, efficient comfortable and economical to build if you use your imagination and local resources. I think a building can have a life of it's own and impart a feeling on the people that stay there. I stive to create exotic, beautiful and organic structures that resonate tranquillity and harmony with their surroundings...... I hope you will agree.
Why they chose this property
This property has every thing that I was looking for in a piece of land: various levels, a view, open land and wooded, some huge old tree and stone walls that give it a feeling of history, water nearby and a rural feeling, and of course- being in Vermont, a state I feel a great connection with.
What makes this property unique
The benefits of this property are that it is centrally located, as I have said, 'all roads lead to West Pawlet.....eventually'. It is also private yet easy to access.
