Nestled among the trees on a quiet hillside at 700m, this charming off-grid cabin offers a peaceful escape on a 5-acre property surrounded by farmland and bush. Wake up to birdsong, breathe the fresh air, and enjoy leafy green views from every window.

The self-contained cabin comfortably sleeps five across two queen bedrooms and a single bed — perfect for two couples or a family. Inside, an open-plan living area with a slow combustion wood heater and split system keeps you cosy year-round, alongside a functional kitchen, bathroom, and washing machine.

Step outside and the adventure begins. Mapped gravel rides start from the cabin door, with a scenic 10km downhill run to the Indigo Epic Adventure Trail. Bushwalking tracks, farm gate produce, and the local Stanley Pub are all within easy reach — and Beechworth is just 10 minutes away.

Private yet connected to nature, guests are welcome to roam the property and discover its rich local flora and fauna. The cabin is located close to the main house but is well screened by trees and native bush.

We had a lovely, relaxing time at Stanley Cabin. Our hosts had a fire going already when we got there. Had a great time exploring the surrounding area as well as relaxing by the fireplace in the cabin. Highly recommend!

The Stanley Cabin was great for our little family (travel with a 2 yo). Close to playgrounds, great grounds to wonder into the trees, cosy warm cabin. Would recommend and stay again.

Staying at the Stanley cabin was a lovely, tranquil experience. The scenery around the cabin is beautiful and it's a short walk from the Stanley pub and a short drive to the Beechworth Main Street. Th...e cabin is lovely and cosy, with the fireplace making it perfect when it's cold outside. Fiona was a lovely host and our welcome of crumpets and honey was an appreciated and delicious touch.

We're a young family who feel privileged to live in Stanley and love to share this special part of the world with others. We escaped the Melbourne city life and now embrace the wealth of adventures at our front door.

The 5-acre property is surrounded by gum trees and bushland and is a haven for native birds and wildlife watching. We loved wandering around and spotting koalas and king parrots or just observing from the warmth of the cabin the kangaroos skipping in the rain.

The Magic Forest

The title says it all, we were recommended to this spot by a local. We really struggled at first to find it but eventually got there, it's pretty hidden.. but well worth it.

Jim Jam Foods

Jim Jam foods was another gem find! All their products are made on site. Maggie and Steve started the company in Melbourne but now live and run it from Stanley and with good reason too. You’ll find their little shop just after the gorgeous tree lined driveway nestled in open green meadows. We had our morning coffee here and picked up some supplies.

Murmungee Lookout

A stunning lookout less than 10 minutes from Beechworth. It is a perfect spot for a picnic with an incredible view on the surrounding.

Berry Picking

We went blackberry picking when we stumbled on piles and piles of them just near the lodge. There were also mountains of them at the back of the property, but they weren't quite ripe yet.

Indigo Epic Trail Beechworth To Yackandandah Return On Ebikes

A bit of a bucketlist bike ride in the high county, the Indigo Epic trail is a 56km All Mountain single track mountain biking trail connecting the historic towns of Beechworth and Yackandandah. Even on an E-bike it's a massive ride, thankfully we were able to sneak in a couple of pies and some eclectic shopping in Yackandah at the halfway point.
