Private Viewing/Sleeping Tower & Modern Cabin - Owner Managed/Maintained

An experience that will be hard to beat.

What a great place! Beautiful, secluded, and peaceful. The cabin is cozy and really well-equipped, especially the kitchen. The fire tower provided some of the best sleeping and napping I’ve had in ages, as well as great star-watching, sunrise and sunset views, and general relaxing reading while occasionally taking a break to enjoy the scenery.

We had a wonderful stay at the retreat, and it was one of the highlights of our vacation road trip around New York. The cabin was the perfect size for our family of three. Our nine year old son wanted to eat every meal at the picnic table in the tower. We loved the opportunity to go swimming and hiking at the host's farm a few minutes up the road. The extras provided by the host were very much appreciated. If we ever have a reason to be in the area again we will definitely book again.

Great place, incredible views, all the amenities at the property. The tower is a one off cool structure, staying up there is an experience. Loved the area and the privacy. Heather the host was the best, checked in to see how it was going and left us a fam basket. Totally going back again!

Words can't describe how wonderful our stay was at Slateville Retreat. My husband and I were both wrapped up with work, deadlines and long overdue for a getaway. We found ourselves using words like 'lovely' and 'delightful' to describe the landscape, the cabin & views from the tower. Inside the cabin felt like living inside the creative mind of our child like selves. We had everything we needed to cook meals, grill, make coffee, build a fire and best of all allow our dog to run free . Feeling both relaxed and rejuvenated we are already planning a return trip in the future. Thank you for providing such a lovely retreat ! Well done :)

Came to relax and that’s what I did!

I spent a weekend here chasing dark skies and photographing the Milky Way, and it was exactly what I had hoped for. The open landscape offered unobstructed views of the night sky During the day, the peaceful, quiet setting was just what I needed to unwind. Even without foliage, the property had a beautiful charm that made the whole place feel like a hidden retreat.Heather, was wonderful—friendly, responsive, and made everything smooth from start to finish. Whether you're a night sky enthusiast or just looking for a quiet escape, this spot is a gem. I’ll definitely be returning.

Heather is a great host and was very accommodating during our stay. The property is very well maintained and we had an excellent time.

Loved the place. Nice and quiet just like we wanted. The view was great. Within an hour of a lot of things we wanted to do. Host was great. Brought us eggs, firewood and fresh towels. Showed us around their property including a private swimming quarry. Very happy with our stay.

The clean, well-maintained tree house and cabin provided a comfortable retreat for my family. The spectacular sunrise and sunset views from the tree house set this place apart. The peaceful surroundings and breathtaking scenery created the perfect setting for us to reconnect and fully appreciate each other in this magical place.

This retreat was so beautiful it felt unreal. Heather took such great care of us! Could not have asked for a better host. She even provided us farm fresh eggs and vegetables while we were there. The tower makes for the most stunning sunset views and in the evenings we sat around the fire pit and star gazed. Everything was perfect and truly unforgettable.

Place was beautiful. Heather was amazing -- kind, super fast at communicating, and helpful. Thank you

What a fantastic property… a half mile driveway winds up to the perfect cabin and one of the coolest places we’ve ever slept… in a tower! Endless views in ever direction, a cool breeze, amazing sunsets, nothing but crickets and birds to sing you to sleep and wake you up in the morning. You’ll never want to leave!

This is a lovely property, well-designed and nicely appointed. We found everything to be either as pictured or even nicer in person. Heather was easy to reach and responsive. The property is very private with amazing views, especially from the tower. We had 5G service (T-Mobile) on site and the WiFi worked well in the cabin. Lots of nice and thoughtful touches throughout, like plenty of firewood, nice linens and throw blankets, and comfy outdoor furniture. We would happily return! Thank you, Heather.
