We used Nicole’s camper RV as our shelter for the night and it’s very comfortable. Extra blankets and a bed made for a good nights sleep. Also Nicole’s generosity made for a very welcome vibe. Thank you Nicole!

10/10
I spent one night at site 1 on 11/10. After arriving Chris came up and made sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed.
I stayed in the cozy RV they have as there weren't any other people renting. The RV had all the accomodations I was missing, like a pot to cook water, utensils, blankets etc. I later met Nicole who was kind enough to give me a meal. I was able to have a fire for the night with wood from the property (at no cost to me). They are super friendly and welcoming people, hosting in a safe and comfortable place. I would definitely recommend!

Convenient, safe, quiet, homey!
Best thing was arriving (with very clear directions) to dry firewood and kindling, and she even set up some egg cartons in the fire pit which was just so considerate. There were also a few emergency supplies in the camper that we didn’t use, but so thoughtful. It’s a great midpoint for traveling VT and close to the village of Brandon. Felt very comfortable. Thanks Nicole!

It felt like home away from home <3
The upper camp site was fantastic! It was super easy to get in and out of, even though I was coming and going at odd times. I was set up with a single tent, however there was plenty of room for multiple tents, or even a camper. For those more nervous about wildlife coming around at night, this site was perfect, thanks to it's resident livestock guardian dog Odin. He is absolutely adorable and would even come hang out with me while I was sitting at the fire (asking for belly rubs of course).
Nicole was the most amazing host. I came back to camp a few nights after dark to find she had started a fire for me so that I had hot embers for dinner and drying out my gear after my hikes! If you love antiques or are looking for local tips and recommendations, you'll love chatting with her. Her suggestions were incredibly helpful!
Wonderlost Homestead is just off highway 7 (maybe 2 mins), so it was super easy to find my way around and get out onto the highway for my day trips into the mountains. Nicole also does some drying and preserving, as well as picking fresh veggies from her gardens that are absolutely delicious. The fresh zucchini was amazing and the jerky was the best I've ever had!
By the time I left, it really felt like home away from home. I will definitely be back if I'm ever in the area again.

Felt like crashing at a friend's house for the night. Very friendly and helpful.

Nicole accommodated a last minute request to camp on her site. It was a safe place to stay right in the Brandon, VT area. She was very kind and offered hot water and firewood, too.
