3 nights at Fall Water Farm
This little cabin was a nice retreat away from home for a few days. Having bedding provided was a nice touch and the bed is very comfortable. The parking is not far from the cabin (maybe 50-100ft) and the driveway was even plowed very shortly after a few inches of snow fell during my stay. There’s a fair amount of yard space available, great for playing in the snow this time of year, and the steam right outside the cabin door is a pretty sight and sound every time you exit. This cabin is also perfect for anyone who doesn’t like dealing with a wood stove to keep warm, instead a gas radiator controlled by a digital thermostat keeps the cabin warm exactly how you like it, a very surprising but much appreciated bonus I found out after arriving. Overall, this cabin was fantastic, warm, and cozy, and I would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for somewhat easy cabin camping in the winter.

The open secluded space provided was amazing and having firewood on site was top notch. Very beautiful view to wake up too and the trails were great and the trees was so beautiful. Would definitely come back again!!
The host was great and showed us where our campsite was when we got there late, 😅 she was nice to wait up. They have hot showers which was great and a cute little farmers market where she had the veggies and eggs there to purchase. Plus there were cows there to see, so cute! Thanks again and would definitely come back again!!

My family (7 year old daughter, husband and dog) had the most wonderful time tent camping at the Hops site on Heather and Paul's beautiful farm. It's such a special, expansive place with so many cool spots to hike to within the farm that we didn't feel like we needed to leave the property. We loved the peace and privacy of the Hops site but next time we'd like to try to Oak tree site which has stunning views. My daughter loved drinking directly from the spring behind Heather's house, and visiting the pergola near dusk. The highland cows against the backdrop of rolling hills and the beautiful slate structures look like paintings. I'd definitely recommend taking the tour of the property to orient yourself. Heather is a lovely person and a knowledgeable and engaging host.

Weekend Trip to Vermont Homestead
Frank and Julie were the picture of hospitality! They were engaging to talk to, so curious about our lives, kind, and great at checking in about miscellaneous needs we might have (like do we have enough camp supplies, etc).
The Studio is so precious as is the beautiful gravel road their property is on, their sweet lab, Skye, and the stars at night! I loved this getaway -- thanks Frank and Julie

We had a fantastic time here. The property is sprawling and beautiful, and the Hops site had great amenities—ample firewood on request, a great firepit and chairs, and a clean outhouse. Heather was an excellent host, ensuring we had everything we might need for our stay. Highly recommended!

Stayed at the Oak Tree Site on Heather’s land and I can’t recommend it enough! The site the peaceful, secluded, and on the opposite side of the road and up the hill away from the main farmhouse and other sites. The site had a picnic table, fire pit, a grate to cook over the fire, a charcoal grill, and an outhouse. The site is an open area with a beautiful view of the Milky Way on a clear night. Make sure you’re driving a 4x4 vehicle up to the site - bit of a climb. Heather is a lovely host and is available for any questions or recommendations - lovely hiking trails onsite (go sit at the quarry!)

Amazing experience! The owl site felt very secluded, and it was fun to explore trails and the beautiful land. We heard the owls every night during our stay but couldn’t spot them:) Our pups swam in the leaf piles and the quarry, and kitty enjoyed overlooking the site on the picnic table. Everyone had a wonderful time.
We arrived after dark due to traffic delays but Heather still welcomed us in person and lead us to the site. The farm stand is cute, and the shower really helpful for our slightly longer stay (4 days). Can’t wait to come back soon.

Heather provided us with the perfect getaway weekend! Her farm is so beautiful and she is a wonderful hostess! The Hops site was very private and peaceful. The outdoor seating and firepit made it so easy to relax and enjoy the fall evenings. The hiking trails that they have made are great to explore. We also took advantage of the outdoor shower which was such a nice experience. Even the outhouse was comfortable and meticulously maintained, and this is coming from someone who normally tries to avoid them. Last and certainly not least, we are still enjoying some of the home-grown/homemade treats from her farm stand, and cannot wait to return to Slateville. Thank you to Heather and Paul for such a great weekend!

Off season camping "under the pines"
fires feel warmer when its cold out
did you know, crickets still chirp though its cold
young coyotes howling in the middle of the night like they are practicing for a holiday concert
surrounded by woods and fields you don't much notice that dwellings are not far away except for the contented murmurings of horses
the stars are brilliant and beyond counting
at 5 am an owl cries Who...Who...Who....when I have to get up and pack it up to go to work.
All due to the generosity of the non apparent Heidi, sharing her land.
Highly recommended.

2 nights at Vermont Homestead
Before diving back into the grind, we snuck away for one last summer retreat—and the Studio delivered.
Secluded yet convenient: It felt like cabin camping, but with real home comforts (think hot showers and no hole-digging required). The Studio was 15 minutes from a supermarket, 5 minutes from a local market, and just 3 minutes from fresh eggs and frozen meat that made our mouths water.
Natural entertainment: We nibbled wild blackberries along the property trails, stepped into the barrel sauna for a sweat session with a hit of aromatherapy bliss (ahhh), and watched flames dance in the fire pit while stars twinkled overhead. Mornings came with surround-sound birdsong and a picture window framing trees doing their best shimmy show.
Hospitable hosts: Missing camping skills? No problem—the hosts had us covered. They shared spot-on local recommendations tailored to our interests and left thoughtful surprises (which we’ll let you discover for yourself).
This place definitely earned a spot on our repeat list.

10/10!! Heather’s place is stunning and she was a fantastic host! She was quick to respond as needed and has a well stocked farm stand! The trails and the quarry were great additions to the experience. The oak tree site was perfect for us with the seclusion and the outhouse was clean! If staying at the oak tree site during hot weather, it may be best to pack a canopy for extra shade since the area is pretty open but we had perfect temperatures and didn’t need it! I would definitely recommend and hope to be back someday!

Great place to camp! We brought our two kids (1 and 4) and had a great time!! So much to do with all the hiking trails, quarry swimming, cows, bass fishing pond, chickens, sunset pergola, spring water, the list goes on. We just loved it. Got to fall asleep listening to 3 owls hoot. Such a private campsite with nobody nearby. We loved it and hope to return for many more trips.

We loved camping at Slateville! Heather is such a warm and welcoming host—communicative, thoughtful, and wonderfully anticipatory. It was such a joy to get out of the city and take in the breathtaking views of their land. We’re so grateful for Heather’s exceptional hospitality, the stunning farm and quarry vistas, and the extra-tasty vegetables available at their farm-stand.

This was my second visit to Heather's farm and I look forward to returning again. The property is gorgeous. The sites are very large, private, and far enough apart that you will not see or hear other campers. My dog and I loved being able to walk all the roads and trails that criss-cross the property right from our campsite. On my first visit I was there in October and the fall foliage was just incredible. The farm is close enough to town so that everything you could need is within easy reach, but far enough to feel quiet and remote. I am already looking forward to our next visit!

Our stay at the Oak Tree site was absolutely perfect. Our host Heather guided us to our site and was warm and welcoming. The site was totally private and had amazing views. The whole property is yours to explore. We were able to navigate with the host supplied map and check out all of the features the property had to offer. We had a great time and we will be back for sure.

We absolutely loved staying at the new quarry site!! The farm is HUGE and the property itself is beautiful. The campsite was very well maintained and the new quarry site is only a few steps away from the swimming hole (which was way better than you’re imagining, if that’s even possible). We had a few first-time campers with us and the new quarry site was perfect (surrounded by trees but the site itself is an open clearing).
The farm stand had lots of vegetables from Heather’s garden and other necessities for rent/purchase, and Heather was very nice and super accommodating - she even let us stay later after checkout on our last day!!
This campsite had everything we were looking for, and it was a short drive from many good hiking spots. We definitely recommend and hope to be back in the future!!

We had the most incredible weekend at this Hipcamp. The site was absolutely stunning—private, peaceful, and surrounded by nature. The owner should be so proud of the space she’s created—she was beyond accommodating and made us feel right at home. We loved visiting her farm stand for some fresh, local goodies. The best part, though, was the quarry swimming hole—it was the perfect place to relax and unwind. We spent our nights watching movies under the stars and enjoying food by the fire pit. It was exactly the escape we needed, and we’ll definitely be back!
