Maple Rock Hollow
Maple Rock Hollow is the perfect get away location, set on 30 acres at the base of Laraway Mountain in Belvidere, Vermont; conveniently located on a dirt road off of route 109. We have a dirt driveway and while the parking area terrain is mostly flat, it may be a little unsteady for folks with gait issues. Both our road and driveway may become quite muddy especially during “mud season”, generally in the spring.
Nestled at the bottom of Laraway Mountain, Maple Rock Hollow provides a tranquil place to stay while providing easy access to a myriad of outdoor activities. Enjoy Vermont’s world-class skiing; Smuggler’s Notch (20 minutes), Jay Peak (30 minutes) and Stowe (40 minutes) are all nearby! The property is just a short ride to the Vermont Long Trail and the Lamoille County Rail trail. It is surrounded by opportunities for skiing, other winter activities, hiking, biking, kayaking, canoeing, boating, fishing, numerous watering holes, zip lining, leaf peeping in season, exploring Vermont’s many covered bridges, access to nearby VAST and VASA trails, and more!
Unwind from your day of adventure by enjoying the wooded setting by making smores at the fire pit under the starry sky and relax surrounded by nature, while sipping your drink of choice; perhaps a beer from one of the many local breweries
Please be aware that given our rural location, our cell phone coverage is weak. Six miles west there is more reliable cell phone access. Future plans include reliable internet access.
We strongly recommend you download a map of Vermont prior to your stay to ensure that you are able to find your way. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you would like additional information, recommendations, directions, etc.
If you plan to use the fire pit during your stay, make sure to pick up some firewood when you stop for groceries at one of the area markets. We provide one bundle per reservation.

We live on 6 acres of woods and hay fields. Larry used to hay the fields, now the local dairy farmer is haying the fields. This property was a fallow dairy farm called the Common View Farm when we bought it in 2007. We hear the name came from the fact that we can see the Craftsbury Common from the height of the property. Legend holds that people have seen strange lights and orbs in the area. It may just be a yarn told by the locals to the new flatlanders. I have never noticed anything of the sort and I have been looking. Who doesn't like a good New England ghost story?
There are 20 acres of hay fields, 6 acres are woods. We have one old goat, Brownie, and our dog, Tinker, who runs the land and loves dog friends as well as humans.
Our views are of the Lowell Mountains closest and the Green Mountains in the distance. You can see the Lowell wind farm on the horizon. We have a large garden and raspberry patch.
The house closest to the forest path to the camp no longer belongs to us rather neighbors who value their privacy. To be good neighbors we ask our guests to stay within the bounds of the property. It is from the beginning of the path and the 6 acres of woods where the camp is located. You know when you've reachd the edge of our property where the path ends and where you see a sign notifying property boundary edge.
Learn more about this land:
The Northwoods Gypsy Wagon is a 3-minute walk into the woods
from the parking area.
You can have all the solitude you'd like or visit the nearby towns.
In this off-grid wagon, you will have an indoor cooking stove (2 burner propane) and a propane stove for the cooler nights but no running water, therefore no indoor plumbing.
Fresh water, battery operated lights, solar panel which provides one lamp and a place to plug in your phone, coffee/tea set ups. Wi-Fi/cell cov is not available.
There is a
privy exclusively for the wagon and a place for a cold-water wash up.
This is truly tiny space, however; sleeps 2 adults. You will have a table and chairs for a sit down chat or meal.
In the
dryer months fire-burning may be ill-advised or outright
prohibited, you'll be advised.

Former Dairy Farm but, the milking and hay barns burned many years Past.
Harold's View Farm now camping. There are 4 entrances to the 80 acres of hay fields, now camping sites. Three entrances are for two sites each, the house entrance is for any questions. Please stop in if you have questions.
The fields have been maintained to some degree until 2019 when Lee came up with the idea of primitive camping. The land turns out to be ideal because each site makes you feel like the only campers there.
New this year you will find a picnic table for 6 and a 3 Ft. dia. fire pit with adjustable grill that flips out for open fire @ each site.
Another new item is open to the sky "Hot Shower"

Beautiful area out in the woods and a nice sauna too--tankless water heater and streamside location to boot!
Cabin was well-chinked and I have no doubt it's a fine place to stay in winter. The loft was nice and warm: I opened the door when I cooked to let out the warm air.
Y'all be glad PK's letting us visit because if this was my family's cabin, I wouldn't share it!

Pete’s lookout was the perfect base camp from Burlington. The structure itself is entirely unique, very cozy yet bright. The outdoor hot shower was top notch as well as the wash basin. It was super easy to find the site and we arrived well after dark without a hitch. The solar powered lights and charging bank was also very helpful and the panels were drawing enough power to charge a phone even when cloudy. One thing I would suggest to bring is earplugs. Thankfully I had some, bc a heavy rain on the sheet roof was loud as a stadium! Loved it, thanks again!!

The Zen Cabin was super beautiful and definitely lived up to the name. Mitchell was very helpful with everything, from hiking recommendations to making sure the cabin was in perfect shape. The fresh picked flowers were a beautiful addition! There’s something magical about waking up in the morning, seeing the cows, and watching the fog roll off mountains while you’re sipping coffee. It makes you forget all of your worries for the day. The walking trail is beautiful and was a perfect way to start the morning with our dog. We are looking forward to staying in The Zen Cabin again!
