THE CABIN

A 1930s log cabin that keeps things simple

The Marie is one of three vintage log “sister” cabins on the property, winterized and outfitted with two full beds and a recently purchased mattress and mattress cover; expect sparse furnishings, a table and chairs, and a wood‑burning stove for heat.

THE VIEW

Porch and meadow outlooks

As the westernmost cabin, The Marie affords privacy and a direct view of the surrounding meadow from a large porch—an ideal place to settle into the quiet and watch the property’s natural setting.

THE LIFESTYLE

Off‑grid comforts and basic needs

The cabins have no electricity or running water; outhouses sit nearby and firewood is provided on the porch. Guests should be prepared to cook carefully on the wood stove or bring a camp stove and to carry water from the central spigot.

What staying here feels like

Staying at The Marie is a deliberate retreat into simplicity: arrive at Burgdorf, walk to the westernmost log cabin, unload supplies onto the large porch, and live with the essentials—two full beds, a wood‑burning stove, battery lighting in the cabin, and the meadow at your doorstep. With no electricity or indoor plumbing, evenings are set by the stove and portable lights, while nearby shared facilities and the pool area are within walking distance.
