"I would highly recommend Forest Echo Farm cabins to anyone looking for a peaceful and fun experience. We had a chance to see all the cabins. They are clean, rustic and quiet. The pond was beautiful too!"
"Our stay here was perfect. It rained the whole time and we still had a great stay, so I think this says a lot! The second bedroom—the screened in one—is much more incredible than pictured. This room is elevated off the ground and the whole wall (which is very long) is screen and facing the forest...Just a wall of trees."
"What an amazing space and property.. beautiful and quiet, butterflies and owls, and a great comfortable cabin with everything you can ask for."
"Has been an amazing week . We have hiked, canoeing, kayaking, enjoyed card and family stories by lamp light. Entire family has had fun , including our dog. Loved the cabin. Very comfortable with great weather."
"We loved our stay at Forest Echo Farm. The land is beautiful; the hosts friendly, helpful, and responsive; and we had a really great time. Canoeing on Tiny Pond, swimming and catching frogs in farm pond, hiking, and stargazing were some highlights. The cabin had just the right balance of rustic "camping" mixed with creature comforts for our family if 4 traveling with two young children. We'd definitely come back."
"The cabin itself was spacious and adorable. There's no electricity, but we were provided with kerosene lamps, which were super cozy at night!"
"The time we spent at the Ripley Cabin was beyond words! Such a beautiful place to unplug and recharge in nature. The cabin had everything we needed for our stay. S. and R. were very welcoming and kind, gave clear instructions and were easy to reach with any questions, making our stay really special. The lake on their property was so beautiful and secluded, we enjoyed our time canoeing and swimming."
"This is such a magical place, very remote, private and yet when needed 15 min drive to stores etc. the cabin is perfect we had a multi generation girls 4 days my mom, sister, and my two adults daughters. We will definitely come back and highly recommend it."
"It was a dream to stay here & we will be back! We booked the cabin for a week and it was perfect. The outdoor shower was hands down our favorite part of the cabin (that and the view from the covered porch... and the fire place!). The kitchen is well stocked with every kind of tool you need to cook. The gas stove/oven, fridge, lights make this place feel super comfy- be not afraid people who are intimidated by the no electricity piece. The deco is out of a movie- everything is dreamy and the photos on here do not do it justice. We loved walking down to the lake where we paddled around. The proximity to other hikes, swims, and the cute town of Ludlow make the location perfect in case you get cabin fever. The caretaker S. was so nice and helpful. A+, two thumbs up, can't wait to come back."
We ask folks to tell us about their stay by writing in their cabin's log book, here are some excerpts:
"Our first trip to FEF has been a great retreat away from the noise, congestion and lack of trees/grass/birds that exists in our neighborhood in Boston. Camille [1 year old] has played in the 'dirt' box, enjoyed her brown cardboard house, fallen asleep on the hike to Tiny Pond, and frolicked in the towns of Weston and Chester. We are thankful for the opportunity to share the sights and sounds here and look forward to returning." -- Tamar, Peter and Camille B., Massachusetts
"Arrived late Friday evening amidst rain and fog. Awoke Saturday morning to brilliant fall colors - beautiful against a backdrop of mist and rain." -- Bill W., New York
"We had an exciting, warm time with the children before depositing them at camp. Lots of swimming in the [Farm] pond and in Tiny Pond. -- Jack H., Vermont
"What a relaxed and wonderful time Ruth, Mary and I had at Forest Echo Farm. It is a beautiful spot and one we will always remember. An unusual and unique experience was to see by kerosene oil lamps. Our spare time evenings was a relaxing time playing dominoes. Ruth proved herself to be the domino champ by one game." -- Lois G.
"I got to Tiny Pond and took a canoe ride. Lots of bird wildlife. A pair of Canada geese and two pairs of ducks, maybe black ducks and loons."-- Ruth H., Pennsylvania
"The Robinsons, my aunt Grace and Uncle Howard enjoyed their second stay at Forest Echo -- canoe rides on Tiny Pond, hike up Proctor Hill for blueberries, swimming...great meals, exploring the damworks on Tiny Pond, trips to Buttermilk Falls (dare devil dives!), a day of tag sales and exploring the back roads. Star gazing in silence, waiting for shooting stars -- a few even on August 6. 118th Street was never like this! -- Jim L., Indiana
"What a delight to visit the place where I fell in love with my best friend. To share the beauty of the winter's first snow with such wonderful friends." -- Jaime T., Massachusetts
"My second visit to Forest Echo. Much amusement, including...receiving apple picking children from trees. Sadly, no moose sighting. Thank you all for making me feel so welcome." -- Libby L., Massachusetts
"Leaving on a glorious morning. Great hike to Tiny Pond and other random walks. I'm glad I finally came to FEF."
-- Siobhan C., Washington, D.C.
"Our first time staying at Paperstock. Slept on the porch, helped paint the outside of the cabin, built the new cider mill - small things, but it is good to know that a little piece of us will always be here." -- Colby, Karen & Emily T., Massachusetts
"I love Forest Echo, having just spent my first visit here doing all my favorite things: hiking, swimming, harvesting food (wild, sweet strawberries), canoeing, eating, watching stars, singing songs, playing with a baby, enjoying good company. Thanks!"
-- Gail R., New York
"Thank you, Paperstock, for my day of quiet and reflection on this my 65th birthday."
-- Diane W., New York
"Up for my second, probably last, weekend in a row - this time with friends. It's nice to be here - the ponds were perfect for swimming (and being) outside was worth the rather glowing sunburn we all seem to have earned."
-- Kathryn W., Massachusetts
"Storm. Sun. Friends. Fire. Trees. Leaves. Water. Cider. And a dog. Very nice."
-- Karen P., Rhode Island
