We also have two sites for those that want to bring their own tent, camper or RV. New for 2025 is an outdoor shower! These are private sites on our property. You'll drive past our home, garage, and garden to get to each site and you'll be able to see our buildings from the sites. We have a very large English Mastiff and some hens. Both are contained in our fenced in yard. Eggs can be purchased upon request. We also have a some dirt jumps if you need to get warmed up before your ride, and a simple bike wash station ready to go when you get back. Lots of wildlife inhabit our area of Vermont.

31mi from Richford · 1 site · Lodging · Milton, VT

The Penfield Tiny house is fully loaded with heat, electricity, water, shower, fridge, stove, and composting toilet. Our 8' by 30' home sits on a 2 acre field surrounded by Vermont forest...a great place to get away from the grind. Easily accessible from the road but the tree coverage blocks all views to neighbors. It's a great place to sit by the firepit, see the stars and hike the forest. A quick drive to state parks, lake Champlain, and many river holes. We are located 14 miles from Smugglers Notch Ski area, 20 miles to Burlington, and 65 miles to Montreal, if you're looking for more nightlife.

My boyfriend and I loved camping on Betsey’s land. We were on Aspen Oasis site and everything we needed was there (cooking equipment, flashlight, towel, clean bed with tons of blankets, …)! The wooden stove is a must for the chilly nights, and Betsey provided plenty of wood for us to feel comfortable. We highly recommend !

Weekend Trip to Green Mountain Glamping

We LOVED our stay with Betsey!! Our crew rented the two bell tents and a tent site for a weekend bike trip. Each site was clean, well kept, and so cozy. The sites all have plenty of privacy while still being close proximity to the bathrooms and other sites. The bell tents had every single thing you could possibly think of. Solar powered lights, cute decor, maps of the area, a first aid kit, flash lights, bear horn, literally you name it and it was in there. It got down to 31 degrees at night consistently during our stay and our beds were stacked with blankets as well as flannel sheets. The beds are COMFY. The tents have a wood stove as well that heats up quick. I have never been to a more thoughtful glamping set up that still felt like a solid weekend of off grid camping. The stars are also insane on the property so be prepared to need a neck massage from looking up all night! Betsey was the best host and really, really cares. She was super attentive and incredibly kind start to finish. Not to mention the sites are just a quick ride to all of the trails as well as down town. 100/10 would stay with Betsey again and I’ll be recommending to anyone that’ll listen!! Thank you so much!!!

5 nights at Green Mountain Glamping

I’m always very straight forward when it comes to reviews and let me start by saying this was one of the best places I’ve stayed at recently. The host was very very nice and made sure we had everything we needed. She also gave us some extra wood for the wood stove in the tent even before we had the chance to ask her. Bathrooms and shower was available on site along with towels and wash cloths. Charcoal and propane grill on site with charcoal and propane. Pots pans and everything from forks to a French press was available. Even had a hammock that my wife lived on while we were there. I came up to Vermont from Michigan to do fall color tour in Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine and this site was a good spot to hit all of the beautiful areas that part of the country has to offer. The town close by has a good restaurant we went too and from the looks of it there’s many very nice restaurants if you’re looking to go out to eat, some needed reservations but was worth reserving. All in all fantastic experience. I can’t comment on what it’s like with other campers since we were the only ones there but water hose on site next to the chickens nice clear sky to stare into at night. 100% would stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone staying in the area. Also if you’re around for biking they have cool little jumps on site you can use. Thank you for a great experience !

We absolutely loved our stay at Aspen Oasis! Betsey has made sure you have everything that you could need - cozy bedding, cooking essentials, trail maps and even down to the little details of pumpkins out to decorate. The perfect location for exploring Kingdom Trails and making a romantic, weekend getaway wrapped into one. Will absolutely be coming back!!

We so enjoyed Green Mountain Glamping in August, that we returned with another friend in September! The nights were chilly, but no worries—Betsey had plenty of blankets on the comfy beds, plus plenty of firewood for the little tent stove. She even supplied us with hot water for the outdoor shower to clean the dust and sweat off after a fun day of mountain biking. We will definitely return—Betsey is an awesome host!

Weekend Trip to Penfield Tiny House

The Penfield Tiny House was amazing! Just exactly the get-a-way I needed. In town to see my UVM Senior - I wanted a quiet, unique place to stay. It was perfect. So many thoughtful perks. The house was beautifully furnished, comfortable & very clean. The location was easy to find and private. Beds were super comfy. A fire out under the star-filled sky on a chilly fall evening was the highlight for me. Highly recommend. Jaime was a gracious host and we will be planning a return trip soon! ❤️

We had a lovely time for our first glamping experience! We stayed our second to last night biking the VTXL, so using the grill, having a camp fire, and sleeping in a cozy bed felt luxurious! The directions were very clear and communication was great.

Lovely place and Betsy helped me out with everything I needed. The stores nearby close at 7 so get your stuff before sundown. Also there’s a comforter on the bed under the pillows and the blankets. If you’re freezing in the night, you probably missed an additional luxury on the bed. Betsey has firewood for sale (good firewood, burns a while), and provides everything you’d need to cook and relax. Drive carefully on the dirt roads, without an off-roader, there is not enough grip to safely drive 25+, at least for my car.

The Pine Haven tent and grounds were perfect for our two day tour of the Kingdom bike trails! Betsey had all the amenities well thought out and everything was extremely clean! We had a rain day, which made the glamping choice such a great idea. There were comfy chairs in the hut so we could chill and wait for the weather to clear. The trail system and small town of Burke are a mountain biker's paradise. We will definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to Green Mountain Glamping

The Pine Haven Tent and Camping spot were absolutely AMAZING! Betsey thought of every little detail. It was incredibly relaxing to show up at a campsite and have everything we needed already there and set up, ready to go. From the bug spray to fire starter, great outdoor shower, hammock, little lights, linens, kitchen gear, the list goes on and on. We were nervous when we arrived that we might be cold overnight, given that temps were going to be dipping into the 40s, but we were pleasantly surprised to find just how comfortable and warm the beds were. They were perfectly made up with the softest sheets and just the right amount of warm blankets. We were cozy and comfortable through the night. Lastly, we loved that we could bike right from the campsite. We spent the day exploring on our bikes, biking into town and there are still tons of trails to explore. This site is one we plan to revisit. Thanks Betsey!
