1 night at Lumen Nature Retreat
We had a great stopover for a night after hiking in the mountains. The perfect respite after a long day. Hope to come back one day.

This was such an amazing find! They were incredibly kind, welcoming, and accommodating. We were only able to spend a weekend here but plan to come back for a bit longer in the spring! This was the perfect place to get fresh air and spend time outside without committing to the full camping setup. I highly recommend visiting :)

We love this camp site! It literally has everything you would need! Morning coffee on the deck in the Adirondack chairs is the most peaceful and best way to start the day. We love taking the boats out on the lake and taking a dip in the hot tub. This was our third time going to this site and we are looking forward to coming back in the future!

Weekend Trip to BASE CAMP NH
Base camp was a beautiful spot for my son and I to hang out an relax for the night it’s a generous and impeccably maintained property nestled in an incredible grove of trees; and easy to find as it’s tucked just off a quiet road. I was worried about being cold in mid-October but we couldn’t have been more comfortable with the space heater and cozy bedding.
Joseph’s communication and hospitality were top notch too! We highly recommend this property.

Weekend Trip to BASE CAMP NH
A wonderful setup and a very gracious and considerate host! The hot shower was very appreciated after the long day out getting there. Some beautiful panoramic views just a short walk from the camp, especially now during leaf season. Will definitely be back!

We had a wonderful time camping at Base Camp and would definitely stay there again when we visit Canaan. Joseph went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

This is a great camping spot. The nearby waterfall provides a constant blanket of sound that insulates you from the outside world so it feels very isolated without being "in the middle of nowhere". It is well equipped with everything you could need (except food & clothes) and the host provides lots of info about local things to do.

Weekend Trip to BrandiLee Woods at the Woolley farm
We had the best weekend ever here! Sandi and Brandon are amazing hosts. The farm tour was the highlight of our trip because Sandi was so informative and educational it was so cool to learn about the different animals and how they take of them. We got to meet the cutest little baby lamb spidey and they even let us help feed him! The property is amazing, they have trail lights so we took walks before bed every night. Overall 10/10 of experience and it even was raining our last night but we still had the best time!

1 night at Lumen Nature Retreat
Lumen was truly an elevated glamping experience. I have wanted to return since I left. It had everything you needed with beautiful views. It was geographically in the center of the New Hampshire nature experience.
I will be buying my kids gift cards for Christmas so they can experience it

This is a true secluded paradise off the beaten path. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and the hosts, Sandi and her husband, are exceptional. We were able to spend time talking to them and Sandi showed us all of their adorable animals on the farm. We will definitely be back for another visit!

Certainly better accommodations than expected. The tent site was private and had all the essentials you could need. Just bring your fishing rod, a meal, and your favorite drink. Our children loved “living” on the tent site for the weekend. They are already asking the next time we can go. Thank you for a perfect weekend to bid farewell to summer.

My family and I loved the quiet and peaceful place, sleeping with the sound of the water, getting up, lighting the bonfire, and above all, our two dogs accompanied us and enjoyed themselves. It was two unforgettable days.
Samantha was very kind and showed us everything we had access to. I hope it's a place to return to soon.

The safari tent site is perfect. Very private. The screen house was awesome for when it got a bit too buggy or for games when it was drizzling. We had a great time.

We had such a lovely time staying at the pasture view tent at BrandiLee Woods! Sandi was a wonderful host, with many recommendations, and always open to let us interact with the many animals on the farm. You can tell that she loves sharing this special space with the guests that come visit.
The space itself is so beautiful. The tent is nested in the woods with a beautiful view of the pasture. We stayed for two nights, and we had the pleasure of witnessing the thunder of the horses running up the field twice, which was such a treat. Sitting around the fire pit is the perfect spot to watch the sunset, and afterwards the field is wonderful for laying out and watch the stars.
I would super recommend staying here. Sandi has curated such a special place, and it’s worth the visit.
