This cabin was made for people who wander and pay attention. For the ones who move through the world with curiosity, whether on two wheels, in muddy boots, or with a sketchbook in hand. It was built for trail riders and daydreamers, tired legs and open minds. For those who hike for the view and linger for the stillness. Who chase light, collect stories, and know the quiet magic of a good cup of coffee, a clean bed, and the sound of a brook at night. If that sounds like you, welcome. Foote Brook Cabin is a soft place to land. Tucked in the woods, 3 miles outside the village of Johnson, this off-grid hideaway invites you to unplug without roughing it. There is no WiFi, no plumbing, and no buzzing appliances. Instead, you get a full-sized memory foam bed with fresh linens, solar and battery lights, a Jackery power bank to charge your phone, firewood, and a little kitchen setup with everything you need to cook a meal. There’s clean drinking water, real dishes, a Coleman stove, and a composting outhouse that is tidy, private, and surprisingly pleasant. You can walk in, pedal in, or drive in. If you are biking the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail, I can meet you in town and bring you and your gear up to the cabin. Pets are welcome as long as they are well behaved and come with a human who will clean up after them. Johnson is just a short stroll from the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail trailhead and has everything you didn’t know you needed. A coffee shop and a tea house for whatever kind of caffeine emergency you are having. A grocery store that carries a little bit of everything. Chinese takeout. A laundromat. A sit-down spot for a warm meal. Johnson Woolen Mills and Vermont Flannel for souvenirs that feel like hugs. Butternut Mountain Farm Store for some tasty VT treats. There are also 2 covered bridges, local art, maple syrup, friendly neighbors, half dozen swimming holes, and a surprising number of Little Free Libraries for a town this size. This is not just a place to sleep. It is a chance to reset, breathe deep, and remember why you came to Vermont in the first place.Welcome to my little slice of heaven. I stumbled across this property in March of 2024 and by May it was mine. I was not looking for it, but my soul has always craved something small and tucked away in the woods, a place to escape the bustle of everyday life. I grew up in the peaks and valleys of the Adirondacks, where summer meant swimming in cold brooks and exploring mossy trails. This spot carries that same kind of magic. The smell of damp earth and pine needles, the way sunlight filters through the canopy, it feels like stepping back into a childhood memory I thought I had lost. When I bought the land, the cabin was just a bare shell. Over time I shaped it into a cozy space that fits my needs while keeping its wild, off grid charm. Being just three miles from my home, I can visit often and soak in the stillness. A year in, I realized I wanted to share it with people who value slowing down, unplugging, and appreciating the little things. Here, time stretches. Imagination wakes up. My hope is to create a place that feels like magic, a spot my future grandchildren will love, and a safe retreat for anyone craving a breath of quiet. Inspired by my own family camping trips and a 2019 RAGBRAI adventure biking across Iowa for seven days, I also wanted to make this cabin a welcoming overnight stop for those riding the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail or a retreat for artists seeking inspiration. This is not just a cabin. It is a pause button. A place to remember what it feels like to simply be. I hope that you enjoy it as much as I do.

Magical respite

Foote Brook Cabin

This is a magical, peaceful respite. The babbling Brooke is the perfect backdrop. The cabin is perfect and has everything you will need. Jenn is a very kind host and picked me and my bike up after I made a wrong turn getting to the cabin. I highly recommend this spot.
