Time stopped....What a beautiful place! We appreciated the yurt's comforts, such as the bed, the compost toilet, the 'kitchen' sink and gas-stove. But Nature was the best! The sounds of the farm and the brook were peaceful. The spot was private. Stars on a clear night spectacular! Thanks for a wonderful place to stay and reconnect with my spouse!

Magical setting. Enjoyed just hanging out around the firepit. And crossing the suspension bridge to go see the farm animals. It's got everything you need for a relaxing time

Trollhaugen Farm, with farm events!
We greatly enjoyed our stay! The yurt, farm, and surrounding land are beautiful and peaceful. I loved reading about its history and thinking of all the people and animals who have been here over the years. The spot where the yurt is feels secluded, which helped our anxious dog find some calm in a new environment. Johanna and Bahman were helpful and friendly!

We really enjoyed our three night stay at Trollhaugen! It was relaxing and peaceful. The setting was perfect and private though we could see and hear the farm animals across the brook. We did venture over the very cool “troll” bridge, to visit the animals. The area was beautiful and the people at the general store greeted my husband every morning as he went for coffee as if he were an old friend. Bring coffee if you want to make it yourself and get ice at the grocery store as the general store didn’t have any when we were there. Otherwise, the rustic yurt was well-equipped with everything else we needed. The bed was comfy, the eggs were delish and even with the extreme heat, sleeping was comfortable with our little fan and the windows open. The indoor bathroom with a shower was an A+ for me! My kind of camping - with shelter, a bed and a private bath.

We had a great time staying at the yurt. There were all the amenities- the kitchen, compost toilets, shower, running water, stove, etc. The stay was very comfortable. Impromptu farm tour by the host Johanna was great! The creek runs right next to the yurt and has a fun suspension bridge on it. And there's a little tree swing!!!! Loved the place. Would visit again!

The yurt was very comfortable, plenty included to entertain yourself and peaceful at night. The property is beautiful and the yurt is private. The grounds are left very natural so if we went back I would have brought some tall thick socks and bug spray. The guide in the yurt helped a lot with finding coffee and food.

We loved camping at this spot! It was the absolute best! It had everything we needed and the no electricity/service really gave us that break we needed. It helped us truly appreciate the simple things in life. 10/10
Plus the farm animals were a huge bonus!!!!

The camp didn't meet the expectations we had based on what we saw on the website. We found out there was no electric until the day before our trip. An air of "once was" surrounds the property. It was once an active place, well kept, but now the trails are poorly marked and overgrown, the amenities are cobbled together and malfunctioned - for instance, my husband was expected to unattach propane tanks and hook up new ones. The hot water for the shower didn't turn on at all one night, and the host asked us if we really needed to take a shower! Everywhere we visited and ate during our visit touring Vermont was polite and happy to converse with us, except at Trollhaugen! The yurt was dry and clean, but worn around the edges, for example, the tablecloth was stained and torn, the furnishings faded and worn. We do not recommend this to anyone who is mobility challenged or who doesn't like crossing footbridges, because it took effort to unpack our vehicle, cross a footbridge with no railings in the rain, trying to get footing on slippery, wet leaves, and climbing steep steps with no railing to enter the yurt. That is, after the host gave us directions to the yurt, and only then reluctantly led the way at our request. We never would have found it on our own in the dark, in the rain. This was an okay place to stay, but there are way better ones available in Vermont that are worth the money!

Frustrating and difficult

Trollhaugen Farm, with farm events!
Yurt was "double booked" with another group, they booked the days before and after us this was not communicated to us until we were literally on site, so we couldn't check in until the were asked to vacate our booking and the host could clean it. This prevented us from checking in until well after the standard time leaving our hot dinner and our cold drinks to warm/cool while we waited. The trials were poorly maintained at best and after all of this we were asked to try to leave on time so the first group could come back into the yurt. Overall poor management and poor accommodations. Will not be returning, also no baby goats to be seen.

We had a great time forest bathing at this cool camping spot. It was amazing hanging out in the hammock while listening to the babbling stream and listening to it while laying in the comfortable bed inside the yurt at night. The bridge to get to the farm and see the animals was super cool too. I would totally recommend checking out this unique spot! Thank you for sharing your property with us Johanna.

We were very lucky to find an open booking at the yurt last minute while we were tent camping and trying to avoid a big storm. My three kids and I arrived late at night to the cozy yurt with fresh flowers and farm eggs. I hadn’t anticipated no electricity because I booked in a hurry but we were already well equipped w lanterns and headlamps from our own trip. It made for a sweet, cozy atmosphere and we ended up loving being totally unplugged. We did end up having to charge our phones at a nearby restaurant so I would recommend bringing your own battery pack. They offered an outlet at the barn but it was pouring so we enjoyed being unplugged and had no service anyway!
The beds were very comfortable and we played games by lantern light and the kids loved walking the bridge during breaks in the rain. The kids got to learn about a composting toilet and marveled at How the hostswere able to provide us a hot shower via propane tank! We really got to appreciate the slowness of being off the grid. We spent one day in town in Brattleboro which was wonderful. The Trollhaugen farm is truly a gem and we are happy to have made some wonderful memories there!

This stay was everything we were hoping for and more! Johanna & Brahman were excellent hosts, willing to accommodate us same day and still left us with farm fresh eggs for breakfast 😍 We absolutely loved the yurt, which provided the roof over our heads we were looking for during our rainy stay. It had everything we needed plus more and was very comfortable! We love Newfane, Brattleboro, and Keene, and this location was fabulous for exploring all three of those places!

This place was wonderful all around.. the yurt is very accessible yet cozy and feels remote. We had everything we needed and slept very well. Very kid friendly, being able to meet the animals and walk around the pasture was a bonus. We wished we could have stayed longer and would love to come back!

Trollhaugen Farm, with farm events!
We enjoyed our time here, and would definitely return. Lots to do, and plenty of space. Everything is there for you, so you don’t have to pack up everything to get away for the weekend it’s great!
The host left plenty of clear instructions, and information for local places. Made sure everything was nice and homey, even included some of her own farm-raised eggs.
After having read past reviews, I would suggest a few of them as I’m happy I listened. Definitely bring a large lantern, or other light sources. There is plenty offered, but as there is no power, you may need more light when cooking or whatever at night. Definitely download the maps around the area, cell service is next to non- existent, which albeit was the goal here…but sometimes it’s easier for some instances.
I would definitely recommend.

Johanna and Brahman have a lovely offering for wanderers wanting to disconnect from technology and reconnect with nature! Trollhaugen Farm’s yurt is the perfect spot to unwind and recenter! Completely off-grid, this space has everything needed to enjoy yourself, whether it’s for one night or many. Four-poster bed to sink into and view the night sky. Comfortable futon that opens into additional sleeping space. Kitchen and bathroom with all the amenities. Oil lamp and candles to light the night. Take a walk out into the meadow to catch the fireflies in action when it’s darkest outside! In the morning, cross over the suspension bridge to the farm to see the ducks and geese and chickens…..maybe even catch sight of the sheep.

Absolutely amazing little getaway! The yert is perfect for a little disconnect from your everyday life! You could hear the water run behind you, it was so peaceful. We had more than enough wood to burn and keep the bugs away & ourselves warm. We were able to explore the farm and see the different animals. We brought our 2 girls & dog and there was more than enough space! The hospitality was nothing less than genuine. I have been recommending to everyone that hears me out!

Trollhaugen Farm, with farm events!
We had a great stay. We were driving to Massachusetts from northern Vermont, and we didn't want to pack camping equipment. My adult kids slept ... one on the futon and one on the mattress on the floor. My spouse and I shared the bed. It was comfy for all. There is a cooler, and you can bring your own ice. There are pots and plates for cooking and eating, a gas stove, ... We loved seeing the lambs and ducks and pigs on the farm: Johanna gave us a personal tour. Friendly cat. ... The yurt does not have electricity, which was a nice break from our routines. We used the solar lights and candles provided for light, and I personally don't do well with candle smoke, but the light was lovely. We made dinner, cleaned up, played cards. We could hear the brook beside the yurt. ... Since we arrived after 6 pm and left around 10 am, we arrived tired for a too-short stay. Thus, we didn't fully read the instructions for the yurt on the side table until we were leaving and checking what needed doing, so it was a little too late to have taken good advice and attended to easy asks... and we didn't have time to hike the trails... entirely our fault. As a party of four, we feel grateful to have gotten a little taste of yurt-living and a view on farm life. With a little more time, I wanted to learn the history of the farm and how they set up their compost, and I might have hiked and spend time with the animals.

My wife and I stayed in the yurt for a couple of nights to celebrate our 10th anniversary. Super cozy and the sounds of the brook and the rain on the roof of the canvas were so relaxing. Can’t wait to visit again!

Johanna's farm was a getaway like no other. You truly felt alive among the lush trees, wildflowers, mosses and when you were brook-side. Her farm animals were incredibly used to humans and we even had sheep follow us around begging for pets. She offered us to help around the farm and we gladly dove in, enjoying every second. handmaking cider from her apple tree was the "cherry on top", so to speak. Propane stovetop, heat, and shower water was a very nice touch. Pack warm and for off grid nights (lights, downloaded content, coolers etc.) boots for mud are highly recommended. The little details to the yurt were incredibly thoughtful, from fresh picked flowers, to farm fresh eggs for breakfast provided upon arrival. One of a kind. We will be returning and suggesting this location to anyone who will listen.

The yurt was so large and cozy. I love that we had a full bathroom inside it. My favorite thing was the suspension bridge which had a brook under it. I did yoga and stretching there each day. I brought my own hammock and tied it to a few trees, and actually completely relaxed. We loved having our own fire each night. The yurt is in the woods far away from the house so you have plenty of privacy. We can’t wait to go back again!

We really enjoyed our stay at the yurt and were pleasantly surprised by all the amenities despite the fact that it’s off grid. There’s hot water, a full shower, a gas cook top and a cast iron gas for heating. There are also some coolers neatly tucked under a bench all you need is some ice, your food and you’re good to go.
I’d advise bringing some headlamps or a battery operated lantern but other than most things you’d need are provided. It’s the perfect get away if you want to be out in nature beside a babbling brook and a campfire but don’t want the hassle of tent camping. We highly recommend it!

We had a wonderful weekend at Johanna's yurt! It was cozy and clean and kept us dry and warm even in the rain. There were candles and lanterns for the nighttime, a gas cooktop for meals, and the bed was so comfy!

Johanna's cozy yurt was surrounded by lush forest and a magical bubbling brook flows past it. It was so calming to hear the frogs and birds chirping. Spending time there felt as if we has traveled to a distant place. Nearby farm stands offered delicious coffee, fresh produce and baked goods. A great spot surrounded by lovely things!
