Tucked away from the hustle and bustle and nestled in the trees just outside of town, Busafonte and The Trailer welcome you to get lost in nature. On nearly two acres of land, you'll have your own private area to enjoy, including a large fire pit, hammock trees, and perhaps a visit from our neighborhood turkeys and chickens. Regular wildlife visitors to our woodland include moose, black and brown bears, eagles, ravens, and Steller’s jays. Busafonte is a "dry" converted mid-size bus equipped with electricity, a water tank, and a private outhouse. A small, fully equipped kitchen and a separate bedroom with its own woodstove provide the perfect home base for relaxing before and after your big adventures. The Trailer is a modern fifth-wheel camper that includes electricity, water, and an indoor restroom. We’ve provided all the necessities for you, including a stocked kitchen, bathroom essentials, and bedding for the queen bed (bedding for the sofa is also available upon request). The dinette table converts into a short bed—please remember to bring a sleeping bag for this setup! Our property is just a short distance from multiple hiking trails and outdoor outfitters (fishing, kayaking, and sightseeing).
