Beautiful private site surrounded by trees. My kids loved the tent, the little play area, the animals, the trampoline. Pretty much all of it! We slept quite well. There is a lumberyard nearby that produces a low constant hum. I got used to it but just fyi that it's not complete silence. The toilet is tucked into the trees with a privacy screen.

2 nights at Streeter Mountain Farm

I loved staying in the treehouse! Very cute and spacious. The staff was really nice and accommodating. We enjoyed the communal area, used their grill (chimney starter provided, yay!) There was also a really friendly tabby kitty that kept hanging around us which made me super happy. Just some things to note for other people to be prepared, since the treehouse is not insulated it can get noisy. It was windy our first night, with things falling on the metal roof and metal staircase is creaky so bring earplugs. It's a little drafty. We didn't have any issue with mosquitoes though. The roof overhangs a lot in front of the doorway, so tall people beware! They do provide carts to bring your stuff but it is all downhill to the treehouse (to varying degrees) and sometimes rocky so it's still not the easiest task, not to mention going back up so be mindful of how much you're packing! If I were to do it over I'd pack less and carry the weight in my backpack. Still, I would not hesitate to go back! Hopefully for longer next time. I imagine it would be pretty in the fall with the leaves changing all around 😊

My wife and I stayed in the Beaverpond and Sugarmaple treehouses. Both are fantastic. The location is right in the middle of a lot of fun VT attractions (swimming holes, hiking, MTB/cycling.) Time on the property is time well spent, too. Our dog loved running around in the woods. Derek is a super cool dude and made sure that we were well set up for our time there. Highly recommend.

Weekend Trip to Private Forest with a View!

This spot is definitely hidden little gem. It's like camping without all the gear! I really enjoyed the private aspect of this glamping experience, unlike most places I've camped which are surrounded by other people. The views were beautiful, the star gazing was perfection and having a fire pit with seating and a table and chairs was a really nice touch. All you really need is your bedding, some lighting and your adventurous spirit! The area is great for exploring and so many great swimming spots. It's was the perfect romantic getaway that my partner and I needed. We will definitely be back!

2 nights at Streeter Mountain Farm

We loved our time relaxing at the Streeter Mountain Farm. Really good communication from Catherine, answering our pre-trip questions which were related to whether the shop would be open and what would be available (eggs and fresh garlic). We were also pre-warned that the treehouse is not fully sealed to mosquitos which we very much appreciated, we brought our own mosquito net for the bed and that was great. You have to walk about 400 ft from the parking lot through the property past the ponds to a small path that peels off into the words where the treehouse is located. It's extremely private and you can borrow a cart to help bring things down from your car. Showers and compost toilet in the main house were great and a convenient luxury. We fired up the coffee in the Summer kitchen with a small jet boil and we tried the nearby North Station Diner for brunch which was authentic and good value. In the evening we hung out at the communal firepit and met several other groups and took in some of the local fireworks, lots of fun and friendly people (4th July weekend). There is climbing and extensive bike trails locally, but we did not take advantage of them this time. All the people were super friendly and relaxed and we thoroughly enjoyed our time unwinding and the whole experience is highly recommended for relaxation.

This place was lovely. Exactly what I expected from a place on HipCamp. The photos are accurate and Loana was easy to communicate with. We literally saw no one, and it’s a short distance to a grocery store if you need it, and many amazing hikes. If you love cooking like we do, make sure you bring the essentials, but the gas stove was awesome and there was plenty of fridge space (bring ice if you need it!) Would 100 percent stay again.
