The international airports of Burlington, Vermont USA & Montreal, Canada are easily accessible for connections to anywhere in the world.

We now have 2 completely different sites, each with their own charm and things to offer guests. One is a cabin style canvas tent perched above the creek for romantic and peaceful interludes for two, while the other is more designed for group gatherings with an Aframe cabin, indoor/outdoor bath house and undercover entertaining kitchen/bar/dining deck. Nestled down in a peaceful wooded hollow with cleared vantage point for spotting wildlife while you party the night away around your firepit. It is decked out for four, however can take up to six on request and is fully heated so you can experience glamping well into the colder months! We can't wait to have you visit us!

I loved camping here! The view is one of a kind and it’s literally jaw dropping in person. The port a pottie was super clean and the host had some water available which was awesome! I wouldn’t say the site is super private as it’s right next to the hosts house, however they can’t see you unless they’re going up and down their driveway. With that being said, the host was lovely and very kind. She made sure we had enough blankets as it was chilly at night and the bed was so comfortable! I would definitely come back if I was in the area!

Weekend Trip to Anderson-Key Farm

Brookside Retreat was perfect for our family weekend getaway. All we brought was our clothes, personal items & food, everything else was provided. Kevin & Alicia were attentive and quick to respond to any questions we had. They are gracious hosts. The beds are very comfortable and it was a great set-up. I would stay here again and will be recommending it to our friends & family!

This was an exceptionally beautiful location with a friendly host and a very comfortable bed. There was a refreshing pond to swim in, and we could see the sunrise from the bed. What a magical space. 10/10. Thank you for your hospitality and generosity with the free wood! Would love to come back.

My partner was hesitant about going camping for the first time (city-raised), and I was able to convince them with the promise of a comfortable bed and a place to swim. Staying in the lean-to absolutely exceeded both of our expectations! The bed is so comfortable, and the views are unbeatable. We got to watch the moon rise up over the mountains our first night there! Truly magical. Waking up to a sunrise at our feet was so special and stunning. We floated in the pond for hours and met many frogs and newts, along with one sweet turtle. I cannot recommend this place enough, and we can’t wait to be back!!

Amazing doesn’t even begin to cover it. This place is beautiful beyond description. And the accommodations are exceptional. The bed in the lean-to is worthy of a 5 star hotel. The spring-fed pond is lovelier than any swimming pool. And the porta-potty is the cleanest one I’ve ever seen. I feel so lucky to have had the chance to spend a little time here.

Medora’s coyote lean-to is adorable and the views are absolutely stunning! The bed was comfy, the toilet clean, and we appreciated that firewood and kindling were included. Medora and her two dogs (Cookie and Posy) are sweet as can be.
