page 38! it's real. unbelievable.
and although it features a photo of the treehouse (which is our communal hang out space, not for rent alone)... we are beyond humbled to be in the company of some freaking amazing spots across the world. (from the Wythe in Brooklyn to the Bel-Aire in LA to to the Ritz in Montreal)

We're just a teensy summer camp that is super rough around the edges. But I guess there are still folks out there that like to rough it. and we love them for it.

Thanks, Travel & Leisure!!

and here is where you can buy it:

TRAVEL & LEISURE: hottest cottages. Wanda!

and the whole intro:

The coolest cottages combine the spirit of summer camp with grown-up style

Remember when summer was endless? It smelled like pine needles and roasting marshmallows and felt like a splash of icy fresh lake water. Well, you can recapture those sensations at new bungalow cottages in Maine—without roughing it and without chintzy florals.

Hidden Pond’s cottages are part of a cool breed that prove an authentic, carefree vacation is still possible and can be even better than you remember, thanks to sophisticated twists. Whether as part of luxury resorts or as independent rentals, these rustic-chic cottages offer classic summertime activities alongside modern comforts and design. You can find them across the U.S. and often at affordable prices, especially when you tally up the included activities.

If you want to swim in the Pacific Ocean and dine on fresh seafood, stay at Nick’s Cove, where the 12 renovated, cheerily painted cottages all come with views of Point Reyes National Seashore, California. Go glamping in a cool A-frame cottage—with 16-foot windows, an oversize soaking tub, and a floating staircase—in the private Far Meadow just outside Yosemite, and hike to your heart’s content. Or hide out in one of the 10 Midcentury Modern cottages at the Colony of Wellfleet, a former artists’ retreat in a Cape Cod fishing village.

These homes away from home pamper guests with simple pleasures and an effortless sense of style and can be tailored to all kinds of getaways. Romantics will fall for The Prairie, a set of six cottages on a Texas homestead with ruffled bedding, chandeliers, flea market finds, and taxidermy. Kids can sleep in a tepee next door to their parents’ cottage at Dunton Hot Springs, CO, or tackle the ropes course and archery at Wandawega, a former camp that opened its cottage doors in 2011, decked out with vintage Pendleton blankets and chandeliers of fallen antlers.

Some of the digs we’ve uncovered have TVs and Wi-Fi; many, like Wandawega, do not. Some have room service and spas—Hidden Pond’s Tree Spa treatment rooms are suspended eight feet above the ground—while others stick to hammocks and screened decks.

One thing’s for sure: these are all true getaways at tasteful retreats where you can slow down, unplug from technology (for a few hours a day, at least), feel the breeze in your hair, and get sand or grass between your toes.

Here’s our roll call of America’s coolest summer cottages.
