This off the grid cozy family owned cabin is located in the town of Sunderland, Vermont. Surrounded by hundreds of acres of national forest, campers can enjoy the sounds of a swift stream flowing nearby, birds chirping in trees, and the rustling of leaves and branches in the breeze.
This mountainous area has a rich array of wildlife, meadows, trails, and only a few miles away from the Battenkill River, a tributary of the Hudson River of New York. Once inside you’ll find a small kitchen and dining area complete with a wood burning stove for those cool Vermont nights.
The sleeping area offers four generously-sized bunks, a loft area, and a queen futon.
Enjoy the peace of nature with a cup of coffee on the porch, but don’t forget to cap off the night with smores around the fire pit!
Access to Vermont’s Long Trail System is nearby, with its 272 mile footpath and 166miles of side trails. This offers endless hiking opportunities for the day-hiker, weekend overnighter and extended backpacker. The Long Trail follows the main ridge of the Green Mountains from the Massachusetts-Vermont state line to the Canadian border, crossing Vermont’s highest peaks.
As for the daily adventures, take a drive to surrounding ski resorts, including Bromley Mountain being just 15 miles from the property, where you can enjoy various activities year-round. Take a 10 minute drive to visit Mount Equinox Skyline drive where you’ll take in incredible views.
Just past Mount Equinox is The Village of Manchester, which is home to the famed Equinox Resort and Spa. In Manchester, guests can enjoy everything from shopping & dining to outdoor classes for ATV driving and fly fishing!

My home is the original Diers Homestead, established in 1940. It was named The Chicken Ranch in the 1960’s. There aren’t any chickens, but there are many forest creatures that wander out of the Green Mountain National Forest & into the meadow. You may see foxes, deer, moose, large marmots, and lots of different birds including wild turkeys & great blue herons.
Apple trees of many varieties are scattered around. Come eat freely when they fruit! You’ll be camping on a hill with a fire ring nearby. The beautiful sunrises and sunsets are both visible as the meadow is open to the south, east & west.
This is a special place in a perfect location. If you like to explore by foot, there’s a network of private hiking trails and a river to cool off in, both within 1/4 mile from your campsite.
Also easily within walking distance is the village of Rawsonville: Ungrounded Coffee, Meulemans' Craft Draughts, Honeypie, Family Kitchen and Pizzeria, Mountain Riders, Equipe Sport & the Rawsonville Marketplace where you can get basic supplies and fuel.
Speaking of fuel, if you really want to roll your wheels… Stratton Village is 8 minutes by car. Take a gondola ride to the top and check out the fire tower where you can see the entire lower half of Vermont state on a clear day.
The village centers of Jamaica, Londonderry and Peru are also very close by and boast great food and crafts. And there’s always Manchester, if you’re seeking lots of shopping and fine dining.
Horseback riding is a 15 minute drive from the campsite at Horses For Hire in Peru. This is a truly authentic experience. Trail rides for all abilities- even the “pony ride” for the little kids is a trail through the woods. Not to be missed! Also in Peru is Bromley Mountain which, during the summer months, becomes The Thrill Zone featuring a giant alpine slide.
At Bee Well Homestead in Jamaica, there is authentic BBQ, live music and yoga every Sunday morning.
The New American Grill in Londonderry has a wide selection of delicious food and their open mic night on Thursdays feature very talented local musicians.
Even though it’s so close to all these uniquely wonderful people and their businesses, it is really just off a little country road - the best of both worlds!

Our homestead is a judicious 20-acre mixture of meadow, woodland, orchard, gardens, and wild and cultivated berry patches.
Lots of opportunities to interact with wildlife (and my livestock dogs -- Koa, Irie, Makita & Bostitch), explore the woods and sit in the peace of wild things. Surplus eggs and extra seasonal produce (grown, foraged) for sale when available.
A very rewarding and strenuous hike leads you down into a beautiful secluded brook, with waterfalls and swimming holes. An absolutely magical spot you will most likely get to soak in in complete solitude. Other great hiking throughout our woods and nearby in Jamaica and Townshend state parks.
Dogs not encouraged, but not prohibited under certain circumstances. Travelers with dogs please message us before booking!

Heather was responsive, efficient and accommodating. We will be coming back when we return in a couple of months on our way back home to Georgia. I can’t recommend this beautiful place enough.

We had a great stay at this campsite in New York. The farm was absolutely beautiful and made for a peaceful, relaxing setting. Our site had everything we could have asked for and was well set up for a comfortable stay. Heather, the host, was very nice, welcoming, and informative throughout our visit. She made sure we had everything we needed and shared helpful information about the property and area. We would definitely stay here again.

A beautiful hand made timber frame barn, warm and dry and BEAUTIFUL. This is what Hipcamp is all about. From the warm welcome, to the insane record collection (fun books, too!) to staying on a working farm, it's perfect. The woodstove was warm, the outhouse is a real outhouse, and the pups had a great time!
Bring water (there is a spigot down by the house that we are welcome to use) , and a cooler- it's a barn not a hotel. Next time, I'll make use of the pizza oven down by the house).
Bedding and linens are fine- and the space lends itself to resting and sleeping to (in my case) a night of rain on a metal roof which is pure bliss.
Have fun! 10 stars!

The cabin is awesome! Very well stocked, I feel like I didn’t need to bring as much as I did. From the stove to the outhouse, we basically had everything we needed. I stayed with my 2 kids and dog, and we were very comfortable. It seems like they’re adding some cool new additions, which would be great to see in a future visit. Thanks for making our stay so amazing!

My partner and I had such a beautiful stay here. The river, the trees, the smell of wood when you walk into the cabin and the little gas stove. A beautiful place to unplug and tune in to yourself and the earth. We were cozy and warm despite the low temperatures during our stay and had a lot of fun cooking on the grill and over the fire pit. Would definitely stay here again! Pro tip: say hi to Renel and her family if you have time, her kiddos are the sweetest. :)
