Buttercup Meadow
Beautiful & Relaxing
I loved every moment. It's a beautiful peice of land, the place was cozy and had every convenience I could want from a glamping experience. The water pressure was definitely impacted (as the instructions said) by the lack of sun on one of the day, so make sure to have water for washing dishes if it's cloudy. Everything was easy, and Heather was responsive and helpful. I highly recommend staying here.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We had the most perfect time at Buttercup Meadows. Heather was easy to communicate with and proactive about what we should bring with us. The site had everything we needed and more. The accommodations were very clean and comfortable. A true glamping experience for us. We can’t wait to come back!

This place was a literal DREAM! Our family of 5 absolutely loved everything about our stay. The tent/cabin was the perfect balance of nature and comfort. We all had plenty of space inside with separate rooms with super comfy beds. We loved being outside on the porch and enjoying meals and fire pit sits in the beautiful meadows. The outdoor shower was amazing. We hope to return again!

A gem of a getaway
Buttercup Meadows is a magical place for those who wish to completely unplug. Imagine a tranquil place with a meadow of blooming wildflowers coupled with birdwatching all day. You may even be lucky enough to see a few wild turkeys or hear a fisher cat at night. It’s the place where we go every year to unplug and recharge our batteries in the northeast kingdom of Vermont, where moose outnumber people.

Our time at Heather’s Buttercup Meadow was as idyllic as could be! We were there from Oct 7-10, and going into the weekend we felt very prepared, thanks to Heather’s communication. While we were there, there was little to no running water and no hot water (which Heather warned us about) but we made it work. The tent was equipped with anything you could need for cooking, dark + chilly nights, leisure or nearby exploration. The small gas woodstove was clutch because it was quite chilly in the early mornings and extra blankets kept us warm at night. We enjoyed morning walks to the covered bridge, nightly fires under the stars and just the simple joys of being in a thoughtfully, beautifully prepared “tent” in an awe-inspiring, natural setting. Other highlights were hiking Jay Peak, making friends with locals at the Belfry, and visiting Burlington and Stowe. We’d love to come back in the summertime to enjoy the swimming hole! Thankful for our fall stay!

Mixed bag
The pros: It's a beautiful spot in a clean and very functional structure that was tastefully decorated. The beds were comfortable, the spring water delicious and enough kitchen stuff to make preparing food pretty easy. It was a relaxing vacation off the grid. We also appreciated the gas heater because it got pretty cold one night. The host was kind and very responsive.
The cons: Several issues meant we had to keep driving into town for cell phone service to contact the host.
Issue 1: No running water. We learned later lightning damaged the equipment -- so no bathing. Thankfully there was the spring option and the 5 gallon container to be able to rinse the toilet as instructed and to wash hands and dishes. The host didn't notify us in advance of the water issue but did offer to make good on one day of a future stay -- if we decide to book in the future that is!
Issue 2: The swimming hole was closed -- no trespassing / signs posted EVERYWHERE, big boulders to prevent anyone from parking there and a fence to prevent entering from the other side. We didn't end up swimming because it was so unwelcoming and we didn't want to get into trouble. Turns out the host knew about this but didn't notify us in advance.
Issue 3: Not the host's fault but a family with kids showed up on our second day saying they'd booked for two nights! Thankfully they left but it was awkward.
You might want to bring your own washcloths and an extra blanket or two. We really wished we'd had those things.
