Williamsville Hillside Camp, Vermont

This property once housed the world renown Froggy Bottom Guitars Luthier Workshop. Froggy moved a bit north about 10 years back, and the shop sat empty. Chasing the dream of an independent craftsman, I got the shop back up and running, and the property is now the home of Better Wheel Workshops. Let me know if you would like to check out the shop during your visit.

COVID-19 requirements. 

In order to stay with us:

* you must first let us know what state and county you currently live in. 

Currently VT has travel restrictions for anyone coming from a region that has a COVID count of 400 cases per million or more. This means if you come from an urban setting, there is a high probability that you are not allowed to travel to VT at this time. Please google Vermont Covid Travel Map to find out if you are coming from a region that is allowed to travel to VT. Any county shown in Red is not permitted to travel to VT. Any area highlighted in yellow is allowed to travel to VT if you have a current negative COVID-19 test verification. 

* you MUST pack everything you wish to use in and out. 

We cannot take responsibility for removing anyones trash at this time. We would need to wait 3 days to handle any trash left behind, and our neighborhood bear would definitely get to the trash before us. 

* There will be no water access from our house.

We will set a water jug at the site prior to your arrival, but anything beyond the 5 gallons we provide you will be your own responsibility.

The Hillside Camp:

Setup your tent on a tent platform built into the hillside of our south western facing forrest in Southern Vermont. About a 5-minute walk into the site. 

The tent platform is 8'x8' square, and set atop a large rock outcropping looking west. 

There is a primitive fire pit made of stones.

We can also provide firewood if needed for $15 per bundle.

There is an unenclosed composting toilet on site.  

We have a friendly dog that lives on property so we ask that you please don't bring your pet to our land.

Our property has some great trails to walk or mountain bike.  

Local activities:

While there is no swimming hole on our property, there is a great spot at the intersection of RT. 30 and Depot Rd (5 minutes away). There are also plenty of swimming holes all along the rivers and streams of VT. If you use Google Maps, if you find a river with a lot of twists and turns, you are more than likely to find a good hole or two.  Please make sure you find a swimming hole that is public.  You may see folks swimming holes in back yards. You may see a bunch of folks swimming in these places, but they will have permission from the land owner to swim there. 

Thank you, and we hope you enjoy your stay with us.
