Who wouldn’t be instantly enchanted by a name like Pollywogg Holler Eco-Resort? Named for the serenade of frogs that welcome dusk, the Belmont, New York camp-style bed and breakfast is a case study in green living.
Guests wake underneath skylights, bathe in heated spring water showers, can stroll sculpture gardens, enjoy a wood fired sauna and slowly savor an organic meal cooked using non-electric methods. Most appealing, however, is the choice of unique accommodations like School House No. 4, built before the Civil War and used as a school house for more than 100 years, or the less-than-erotic-looking Phantasy Dome (below) that earns its name from an eight-foot-diameter floating bed (boasting a plethora of health claims).
In other words, booking a night here is definitely deviating from the norm. And with rates that start at roughly $100 per person, per night, it’s a relatively inexpensive way to heat up a cool fall weekend.
This limited edition handbag is crafted from recycled drink can ringpulls and made in Salador, Brazil.
