Just got back from an awesome camping trip and had an amazing time! Huge shoutout to Chuck, he was incredibly helpful and shared some fantastic local spots to check out. His place was stunning, peaceful, and perfectly kept. No doubt I’ll be back next time I’m in the area!

We enjoyed the historic site, the close by nature trail, the hosts were lovely and helpful and the space was flat and easy to park our RV at. The view was nice and open.

Staying at Chuck's place was perhaps the most enjoyable night of my whole road trip. We got to meet the chickens and make a fire and watch the moon coming up over the hill. There was plenty of space for our camper and electricity for our use. I also really enjoyed Chuck's suggestion to head to the Guilford country store for breakfast which was a cute little surprise of a place. I should've gotten. 17 more pumpkin croissants there.

Such a gorgeous spot. The trees and amazing and we saw tons of turkeys and their babies. Chuck was away this weekend but he was very attentive through text and checked in on us every day. His niece was there and she and her children helped us gather wood together for a fire. We headed over to the covered bridge for a swim and the book store in Brattleboro. Would love to come back again and will be recommending this spot to friends and family!

Wonderful spot

A beautiful, quiet and serene spot to just be. We enjoyed Chuck, he was a wonderful host and was very personable and welcoming. The area had much to offer and we enjoyed going out to a nice dinner in Brattleboro. I definitely recommend this site.

Chuck has a great piece of property with a beautiful old house and barn on it. The history of the place is interesting too. It was a real pleasure to camp there and Chuck is a nice host. He took a little time to show us around and gave us a few tips on things to do. I highly recommend it if you're in the area and I can't wait to get back. I recommend the farm fresh eggs if they're available. The chickens are awesome!

5 star venue 6 star host I had a minor issue with the shore power due to my AC drawing too much power causing the breaker to trip. Mary (the host) left her dinner to show me where all the circuit boxes were and let me plug into the best one available…and supplied an extra extension cord!! 100% will come back again.

Chuck and Mary were great hosts, offered great suggestions on things to do, and provided a great package with everythig in the local area. The site is within sight of the house and barn and even though it is a working farm we felt we always had privacy. Overall a wonderful stay and we’ll keep on our list of places to return.

Great site even better hosts

Tent · Group trip

A beautiful location with amazing hosts. Chuck absolutely went above and beyond with his hospitality. Here are a few examples: 1) we had a logistical issue that delayed our arrival and he was quite flexible and responsive 2) he had started a fire for us before we got there which was extremely well received as we were getting in after dark and 3) he even brought us coffee in the morning! Don’t pass on the opportunity to meet these great people and enjoy the beautiful southern Vermont landscape.

Giant maples and lovely meadow

3 m travel trailer

This property is a gem. Chuck and Mary welcomed us and made us feel at home, while also respecting our privacy during our 3-day stay. As promised, we parked under the ancient maples - the largest we had ever seen - overlooking a lovely meadow. Although close to Brattleboro, it felt like we had arrived at another place and time 100 years past. On our 9-week journey, it was the most unique and lovely place we stayed. Since ours is a tiny teardrop-style camper, access to the sink and toilet in the back of the farmhouse was appreciated.

Great night camping with kids!

Tent · With kids

My family and I had a lovely stay at Chuck's place in Guilford. It's a beautiful peaceful spot. We hiked the nearby trail (site of the old mineral springs), enjoyed sitting around the firepit, and marveled at the old barn and farm buildings. Chuck was a great host and made sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommended!

Chuck's farm was just perfect: bucolic, historic, and very comfortable. The spot is on a spacious lawn overlooking fields, with the farmhouse and barn behind you. Easy access to electricity and water also helped since we were traveling with a toddler. Chuck is a lovely host; he was available and communicative, but totally respected our privacy. The spot is a short drive from Brattleboro, so we took advantage of the amazing food coop, restaurants, and shops. Highly recommend!

Unbelievable Night Sky!

Tent

Chuck was the perfect friendly host - he accommodated our late arrival time, and even had a fire ready to greet us on the crisp night! He wasn't kidding about the night sky either - his remote property is the perfect spot for enjoying some peaceful camping under the stars with everything Vermont has to offer. The historic barn is magnicificent, and there are even trails within walking distance. It's a great spot for groups as well, highly recommend camping here!
