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!

This was the perfect “glamping” spot! Tara has the space supplied with everything you may need. We especially enjoyed cooking our dinner over the fire, and sleeping to the sounds of the wood stove burning at night. Be prepared for the sounds of wildlife (coyotes). We never encountered them and always felt safe, but could certainly hear them! We would definitely return to this spot.

Weekend Trip to Sip Pond Lakefront Cottage

Judy's cottage on Sip Pond was the perfect weekend stay for us and our water-loving dog. We brought most of our camping supplies but were pleasantly surprised when the cottage had basically everything we needed (cooking utensils, plates, towels, etc.). It was so nice to have drinking water, clean and comfy bed, and clean porta-potty. Waking up to gorgeous pond views was such a treat. Sip Pond is wonderful - we spent all day on the water, kayaking and fishing. The neighbors that we bumped into were extremely kind and welcoming. We wished we stayed longer! We hope to come stay at the cottage and enjoy the pond again at some point.

Enjoy the completely renovated space. Always clean, always stocked with everything you need on your vacation!

2 nights at Quarry Brook

It's what we expected which is great. Such a cool facility, imported from Poland. Yes, it's aging a bit, so it's not perfect. Neither are we. The hosts took very good care of our needs, even addressing a WiFi concern at 4:30 a.m. The fans help with the heat. The bed is very comfortable, as is the leather chair. Reading the reviews in the books stored in the desk, so many people have enjoyed their time here. A couple of people got engaged here. It's a respite, away from noise. Lots of fireflies. I think the winter, in snow, would be especially nice, though the woodstove will need stoking once during the night;) My wife said, "Everything was what they said it would be" and smiled. You're out in the country; the driveway has potholes. There are bugs. The composting toilet is very well constructed. The Dome was clean. The swim at the quarry was unique and felt great. There are fish and turtles to observe. It's a short drive from the Dome. We traveled to Putney, enjoyed the Diner (opens at 6 a.m.), and enjoyed Hidden Spring Maple and Harlow's (turn left on Route 5). Explored Brattleboro = an interesting town with quite a bit of art available and some good restaurants. Great cinnamon rolls across the street from Diner at the Putney General Store. Ice, sandwiches, and other stuff. Overall, we hope to return. We haven't explored this part of Vermont much though we have lived in the state for most of our lives. We enjoyed supporting HipCamp and our hosts.

We loved this cozy camper! Waking up was a dream, one day deer quietly wandered nearby in the early morning mist, making it feel like something out of a fairytale. It was a short drive to the beach, and conveniently close to Portland, so we had the best of both worlds: unplugged nature time with fun day trips into town. This little camper was cozy, clean, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed for a cute weekend away.

I’ve lived on this property for over 40 years of my life, exploring and camping many times in these woods. I decided to build an A-frame cabin perched on the hill that overlooks the brook a few years back and it has quickly become my happy place. This site is a great space to be in the woods, but not too far from things. You can explore the 15+ acres of woods, take a dip in the water, forage mushrooms or just sit under the pines. The cabin is just a few minute walk past the tree line and very private. We are thrilled to share this beautiful peaceful space with you. .

Where to go

In Town

Meandering through the city center, the Merrimack River provides ample opportunities for swimming, fishing, canoeing, and kayaking, offering an outdoors experience within city limits. Outfitters in town rent paddle boards, canoes, and kayaks. On the western side of town, 85-acre Winant Park is laced with short but steep trails.

Lakes Region

An hour’s drive gets you to Lake Winnipesaukee, New Hampshire’s largest lake, which together with Squam, Winnisquam, Newfound, and Ossipee lakes forms the Lakes Region. It’s an all-season destination where activities on offer range from hiking and boating in summer to skiing on Gunstock Mountain in winter. On the southwest shore of Lake Winnipesaukee, Ellacoya State Park has a campground for RVs and trailers.

White Mountains

An hour and a half from Concord, the White Mountains are an all-season haven for outdoor adventurers. You can drive the scenic Kancamagus Highway through the White Mountain National Forest; go skiing in Bretton Woods, and hike or ride the cog railway to the summit of Mount Washington. Overnight options range from RV parks to dispersed camping.

When to Go

Spring and summer are ideal for enjoying the trails and river activities, making these the most popular seasons to visit Concord and the surrounding area. September and October have a different appeal, with cooler temperatures and the landscape busting into rich fall colors: driving the Kancamagus Highway is a great way to view foliage. Winter offers an entirely different experience and opportunities for activities including skiing and dog sledding.
