We love camping, and when we decided that state campgrounds and the like were just too busy, we found this amazing, secluded property on a small lake with no public access.
There is a cabin on the property, which is available for limited rentals. However, we have a great flat yard just a short (2 min) walk to South Pond thats perfect for a tent. There's a rustic outhouse, fire pit, picnic table, and usually games like badminton setup. Our property is a couple miles down a private dirt road. Fishing is great (with a license of course), and the water is perfect for kayaking and paddle boarding.

This cabin was made for people who wander and pay attention. For the ones who move through the world with curiosity, whether on two wheels, in muddy boots, or with a sketchbook in hand. It was built for trail riders and daydreamers, tired legs and open minds. For those who hike for the view and linger for the stillness. Who chase light, collect stories, and know the quiet magic of a good cup of coffee, a clean bed, and the sound of a brook at night.
If that sounds like you, welcome. Foote Brook Cabin is a soft place to land.
Tucked in the woods, 3 miles outside the village of Johnson, this off-grid hideaway invites you to unplug without roughing it. There is no WiFi, no plumbing, and no buzzing appliances. Instead, you get a full-sized memory foam bed with fresh linens, solar and battery lights, a Jackery power bank to charge your phone, firewood, and a little kitchen setup with everything you need to cook a meal. There’s clean drinking water, real dishes, a Coleman stove, and a composting outhouse that is tidy, private, and surprisingly pleasant.
You can walk in, pedal in, or drive in. If you are biking the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail, I can meet you in town and bring you and your gear up to the cabin.
Pets are welcome as long as they are well behaved and come with a human who will clean up after them.
Johnson is just a short stroll from the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail trailhead and has everything you didn’t know you needed. A coffee shop and a tea house for whatever kind of caffeine emergency you are having. A grocery store that carries a little bit of everything. Chinese takeout. A laundromat. A sit-down spot for a warm meal. Johnson Woolen Mills and Vermont Flannel for souvenirs that feel like hugs. Butternut Mountain Farm Store for some tasty VT treats. There are also 2 covered bridges, local art, maple syrup, friendly neighbors, half dozen swimming holes, and a surprising number of Little Free Libraries for a town this size.
This is not just a place to sleep. It is a chance to reset, breathe deep, and remember why you came to Vermont in the first place.

Weekend Trip to ZenDen in Stowe
This was perfect for our weekend in Stowe. It is just a few minutes from town which was super convenient. Rick was very nice and made sure everything was going well.

The cabin is a 1.5 mile walk to the Historic Stowe Village so it is very conveniently located to many restaurants and hikes like Stowe Pinnacle. It is a unique experience for 2-3 people in a small cabin with a firewood hot tub, cold tub soak in a gazebo, a wood stove sauna, two fire pits, an outhouse, a screened porch and grill. Another good feature is that dogs are welcome and have room to roam and relax. Rick was very responsive and accommodating in making sure we were comfortable with everything. He provided great suggestions for dining and hikes. We had another nice stay in beautiful Stowe for a popular fall foliage weekend.

This place was AWESOME! Rick provided everything we needed and more. He even had the sauna hot and ready for us when we arrived! The cabin was in the perfect location, close to everything. It was set back from the Main Street so it was very quiet and peaceful and felt like we were in a world of our own. I highly recommend! Thanks for providing an affordable cozy place to stay Rick!

1 night at ZenDen in Stowe
My husband and I have traveled all over the world and I have to say this is one of my favorite stays ever! Dr Rick was an awesome host, so many thoughtful touches… loved the Buddha incense burner, with plenty of incense to burn, an endless supply of wood for the wood fired sauna and hot tub, and fire pit . Best of all the cabin is located just a short distance from downtown Stowe Vermont, Smugglers Notch State Park, endless hiking trails and waterfalls.
Hotels in Stowe are super expensive but the ZenDen offers all this at a very affordable price. We’ll definitely be back on our next New England road trip!

We had a great time staying at Bruce’s property. It was private and our dogs had a blast. Well maintained property near a pond with lots of birds and hardly any bugs. We enjoyed the beautiful cabin, fire pit, and grill provided. We would love to visit again!

It was a great location to the pond. The addition of the kayaks made it even better. The cabin is cozy with the wood stove and perfect for our family. Loved the outdoor shower. The fire pit was perfect for making s'mores on the clear night among the stars. As I spent our last morning looking over the water with a loon swimming by fishing for breakfast, I realized that there is a reason this place is called Eden.

This cabin was fantastic! What made it even better was how friendly Bruce was ! It is so cozy, the outhouse was spotless and the cots were roomy and comfortable! Bring your own cot pads for extra comfort and lots of blankets. The view of the pond from sitting in the Adirondack chairs was perfect for just enjoying the afternoon reading a book. I didnt do this trip solo but as someone who loves to travel solo I would 100% feel comfortable as a solo female staying here. Super super private! Just an all around great experience. Sadly we now have our own private cabin to stay in close by so I probably wont be visiting again, but if I didnt I would absolutely be coming back. Thanks again !

This tiny house was amazing! Super close to both the center of Stowe and Waterbury and it has many great amenities. We made use of the sauna and hot tub a lot. The cold plunge also got some use a few times. The fire pit made the evenings fun. The house it self was very comfortable and inviting. Rick is a great host and answered any questions that arose very quickly. It all made our vacation extremely enjoyable!

Weekend Trip to ZenDen in Stowe
Rick's spot is really sweet! Close to town and very private. The bed was comfy and I slept really solidly. The sound of rain on the roof was soothing and made me so happy I didn't have to pack up a wet tent. I liked being half way between activites up at the Von Trapp Lodge hot air balloon fest and going other places to explore. Swimming in the reservoir south of Stowe was gorgeous and restorative.

Rick was awesome and showed us around when we arrived. Perfect place for 2 people. The sauna is really nice with a possibility to lay in the snow right after. Place visited in February. We could set a fire in the pit and wood was available on site. We had a good sleep with bedding and pillow available. Location is great.
