Enjoy beautiful, vast western views from the Worcester Range over to Mt. Mansfield and to Jay Peak. Feel free to enjoy the trails on my 32 acres.....you might chance upon a doe and her fawn. Enjoy the gardens on your stroll. Feel like fresh veggies for dinner? Enjoy complimentary seasonal produce fresh from the gardens. Sit under the stars at your campfire - firewood is supplied. Papi and Lulu, my two English Setters, will greet you upon arrival. Pets are welcome. The property is minutes away from the scenic Lamoille Valley Rail Trail, which is great for all biking skill levels and family bike day trips. Want to swim, kayak, or hike? Elmore State Park is 3 miles away. The lean-to sleeps up to 6 people comfortably. The lean-to is approx. 250 yards from the parking location. I can help transport your gear. There is an outhouse available and a shower is attached to the main house for your convenience. Enjoy!Campers are free to enjoy the property and will be greeted by a friendly English Setter. The site is a 200 yard walk through the back field to the lean-to. There is a fire pit and plenty of room for tents. An outdoor shower and water is attached to the house. You will be welcome to harvest fresh produce to compliment your meals.

Lean-to site
We loved this campsite. We thought it might be odd camping in someone's backyard but it was very laid-back and didn't feel like we were intruding. The lean-to is brand new and is very clean, along with the outhouse. It is quite a walk (maybe 200 yards) from the driveway/parking area/house to the shelter and a decent walk from there to the outhouse (maybe 100 yards). Brian welcomed us upon arrival and guided us to the shelter with a lantern (it was dark), which was very helpful. He was very kind and laid-back. He has two very friendly dogs and also chickens, which were fenced in. There was ample firewood and a nice firepit. There is a table, 2 rocking chairs, and a picnic table as well. There is a clump of trees behind the shelter and the rest is a farm/fields, with forest beyond. It's on a hill so a bit windy but fantastic views of the sunset, mountains, and stars. Even though you can see the house from inside the shelter it still feels relatively private. The shower is clean, has plenty of hot water, and works well. We'd definitely return!

Lean-to site
Overall I had a nice experience. Brian was very friendly and accommodating and even loaned me a battery lantern for some extra while during my stay. The view from the lean-to and the sunset I saw was one of the most beautiful I've seen in a long time. Unfortunately a couple things I thought other campers should be aware of. The land around the lean-to and over to where the outhouse is located as well as down to the house where the outside shower is located was extremely wet. Also if you need water for drinking, which I did as I was traveling by bike. Unless you want water from the hose, which I find questionable for drinkability then Brian has to fill it for you from inside his house, which he was willing to do. If he isn't around your only choice is the hose.

Brian has created a great spot with everything you’d need for a comfortable campsite. I took my girls for a quick camping trip and appreciated the precut and available firewood. Perfect spot for a couple or a small group of friends with a few tents. Brian’s home is visible from the site; however, it still felt very private. The walk to the site from the parking area is about 2minutes, so a little wagon would be handy! Brian dropped off some fresh corn from his garden, which was a tasty treat! Neat spot!

A perfect stay
We loved camping at Brian’s farm, it was beautiful and peaceful and although we slept in tents we loved having the lean to for storage keeping our stuff off of the ground and organized. Brain was super friendly as well his dogs, he let us pick some vegetables, we picked carrots, onions, peppers, squash, zucchini, and tomatoes and cooked with them for our meals and they were delicious. We also liked that there was great outdoor shower with hot water just a short walk away as well as outhouse. Lastly our group loved the remote feel as it is the only site on his property and waking up to a beautiful view of the mountains.

Brian's property is very lovely. He has chickens, and bee's and you can tell he puts a lot of effort Into keeping the his land nice. Beautiful night sky, and foggy sunrised from the mountains top views from the lean to. Definitely would go back! He has two very adorable pups that would love other puos to play with I am sure.

Wonderful Stay!
We had a WONDERFUL time at For Dogs Farm! Despite wet, rainy, MUDDY weather- we had a beautiful stay under the lean-to. It was so magical taking a hot outdoor shower in the cold rain. When the rain did let up- we caught amazing glimpses of a beautiful sunset and unbelievable stars. The property is so beautiful and well thought out/ maintained. Brian was a wonderful host. He greeted us upon arrival and offered us vegetables from his impressive garden. He also provided us fresh potable water. Although our stay was too wet to allow for a campfire- Brian provided everything we could possibly need to have a nice fire (wood, paper, matches, hatchet etc.) The lean-to also consisted of a rocking chair where we enjoyed reading. We LOVE Brian’s dogs- they are so cute and lovable. All and all - we really enjoyed our stay! Thanks Brian!
