Die kleine schwarze Hütte - Sauna, Whirlpool, Feuerstelle

The Little Black Cabin (LBC) is less than 2 hrs from NYC or Philadelphia. Located just 10 minutes from the center of several quaint towns (Cresco, Mountain Home, and Canadensis), and 25 minutes from skiing at Camelback or Shawnee, the Delaware Water Gap, and several lakes and rivers, as well as the town of Stroudsburg, the LBC is perfect for an artistic retreat, a couple’s romantic getaway, or a small family or friend’s getaway. Every aspect of this cabin has been carefully restored and thoughtfully redesigned to produce a rustic yet luxurious, spa-like experience in the woods.



Pet Friendly - up to 2 dogs allowed.



The LBC sits on almost 2.5 acres of wooded land with a gentle slope. Nestled in amongst a canopy of Oak, Pine, and Sassafras trees with an understory of Mountain Laurel and wild Blueberry you will immediately feel the sense of peace and connection to nature. The LBC’s interior includes a small kitchen and dining area, a super comfortable living room with a 16 ft pine ceiling and wood-burning stove, and two cozy bedrooms. Our tiled bathroom has radiant-floor heating, wood walls, and hand-made Italian tile bath surround. There is an outdoor sauna and cold plunge. A fire pit is available all year, with some courtesy firewood on site for outdoor fires when available (we recommend bringing a bundle or two of your own). We invite you to come and stay and experience the beauty, nature and craft of the LBC and surrounding area.

The deck has two chairs and a small table and overlooks the firepit, string lights, and expansive woods and nature.



* YARD: With over 2 acres of land, feel free to explore our property, or go for a walk on the wooded gravel roads throughout the community – you can walk for several miles on the community roads and will often not see a single car.



The yard also has a small series of gravel trails and plenty of space to explore nature or play yard games such as cornhole. There is a firepit with seating, and the outdoor cold plunge and sauna.



* SAUNA: Our sauna was custom-built within the frame of a 40+ year old shed that was on the property. It is designed to follow Finnish-style sauna principles and includes a changing room with lighting and a HUUM sauna stove and two benches.



* HOT TUB: A 4-person hot tub is located off of the main deck at the rear of the house - The hot tub overlooks the firepit and expansive woods and nature.



* COLD PLUNGE: For heat/cold therapy lovers, we have included a stock tank that can be used as a cold plunge. This is ideal for use within sauna sessions, or as a cool refreshing dip in the summer. The cold plunge can be filled with fresh, cool, well water using the garden hose. This does not include a chiller and water temperature will be dependent on outside temperature and/or the temperature of ground water.



*Please note that the outdoor cold plunge may not be available at times in the winter months due to low temperatures - please check in advance for availability as it all depends on whether outdoor fresh water can be provided to fill it or not.
