It all started on a first date in Boston....Nick had to excuse himself to take a phone call. His cow had fled its pasture. Much to Tara's surprise in that moment, this man she had just met was finishing his engineering degree at Northeastern, but was simultaneously building a homestead in Vermont. Fast forward 7 years, and here we are, building the life we only dreamed of. We yearned for simplicity. Deeper connections to our surroundings and mother nature. A calmer sense of place. The satisfaction that comes from growing food. Creating with our hands. We're a working farm and homestead. Every day at Quarry Brook is a new adventure, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. We’re incredibly excited to share our little corner of southern Vermont and what we’re up to with you!

Review summary
Generated from real Hipcamper reviews
Quarry Brook offers a mixed bag of experiences for campers. Many visitors appreciate the beautiful, secluded location and the charm of the quarry, which is great for swimming and exploring. However, some guests have noted maintenance issues, such as overgrown trails and lack of cleanliness, which can detract from the overall experience. The hosts are generally seen as accommodating and friendly, but there have been occasional lapses in communication.

Beautiful spot in the mountains. We loved our chat with the host. Easy access and a special spot under a giant oak tree.

Tent camped at Camp with pets, Sept 2026.
Recommends
Excellent communication from hosts. Very private, wooded tent site on leaf litter, I’d say 200 yards from parking site. Driveway would not accommodate a low clearance vehicle. Tent site was large enough to easily accommodate a 19x10 foot tent, though the ground had a very slight grade. Fire ring was good size. Site includes a picnic table and pop-up outhouse with 5g bucket- though we did not utilize this. We did not hear any road noise. Lots of awesome owls in the area. The quarry and surrounding woods are beautiful. Would certainly consider a return visit, though I would bring a smaller tent to improve the ability to pitch on a completely level spot.

This was our second year camping here. We enjoyed our time just as much as the first! The Quarry was so warm, and easy to access by trail, and car. Tara continues to be a generous and accommodating host! Hoping to continue our yearly tradition in 2027! Thanks again!
