Welcome to ‘Lil Rita – A Peaceful Hideaway

#catskillsdigitaldetox

Tucked away on six wooded acres along a quiet country road, ‘Lil Rita offers the perfect blend of modern simplicity and natural beauty. Designed by @hutsnyc, this 10x20' cabin combines sleek minimalism with thoughtful comfort—everything you need to slow down and recharge.

Inside, the main floor features a cozy sitting area, kitchen, dining table, and wet room. Climb the ladder to a lofted bedroom with a plush mattress and tranquil treetop views. Three sliding glass doors open to the sights and sounds of nature—fresh air, forest light, and a deep sense of calm.

Ideal for solo travelers, couples, or your pup (yes, we’re pet-friendly!), ‘Lil Rita is designed for rest, reflection, and reconnection.

You’ll feel wonderfully off-grid, yet you’re just a short drive to charming Catskills villages, hiking trails, swimming holes, and seasonal events. Satellite internet keeps you lightly connected for messages or quick browsing, but it’s not suited for heavy streaming or remote work.

Come for the quiet, stay for the clarity.

Unplug, unwind, and breathe deep—‘Lil Rita is calling.

Guests have access to the cabin. There is a shed at the front of the property that used for storage and is not included in the reservation.

We are only an email or phone call away and are available as needed.

Please remember that you are staying in a house, not a hotel. If any problems arise we will do our best to take action as soon as possible but there is no one living on-site.

Winter weather can be mercurial. Check the weather report for this area and plan your travel accordingly. 4WD or AWD vehicles are necessary between October through April when snow, ice and mud are likely. Snow plows do not operate on secondary roads between 8PM and 5AM so in the winter plan your travel accordingly. If you are unfamiliar with driving in the snow, particularly uphill, search online for tips. Sites like AAA have good information. The driveway is plowed and shoveled to the entrance. The driveway is plowed every several inches of fallen snow but if it is snowing, there may still be snow on the driveway. A shovel is provided, please keep the walkway maintained during your stay.

A Few Things to Know Before You Arrive
We’re so happy you’re considering a stay at 'Lil Rita! To help make your visit smooth and relaxing, here are a few details to keep in mind:

Water & Septic System
This is a tiny home—and that means a tiny septic tank! Please be mindful of overall water use (including showers and dishes), as all water drains into the tank.

The water is safe for bathing but may have a natural sulphur smell, which is common in the area. We recommend bringing your own drinking and cooking water.

Outdoor Shower
The outdoor shower (available May 1–Sept 30) is a refreshing Catskills experience! Please note it may be partially visible from the road, so we recommend wearing a bathing suit for comfort.

Loft Sleeping Area
The cozy bedroom is located in the loft, accessible by ladder. Guests should feel comfortable climbing and descending safely.

Connectivity & Arrival Tips
The house is in a no cell service zone. Be sure to enable WiFi Calling in your phone settings to stay connected.

The WiFi is satellite at a speed around 25mbps. It is best for checking email or texting but not for heavy use, streaming or gaming.

To ensure a smooth arrival, write down or screenshot your check-in instructions (address, door code, WiFi info, and contact numbers) before you travel.

Winter Notes (Oct–Apr)
While you're most likely visiting in the warmer months, here’s info in case of a cold snap or fall snow:

AWD, FWD, or 4WD vehicles are recommended
Make sure your tires have good tread
The driveway is plowed and shoveled, and we provide a shovel for your use
The back deck is not shoveled in winter
