Rustic and Comfortable Cabins. No power lines cross our property. We have no blaring screens to distract us from the sound of the wind in the leaves or to call us back to the whirl of modern life. But that does not mean we are without any comforts. Each cabin has a fully equipped kitchen, hot and cold running spring water, indoor bathroom, and overhead LP gas lamps. Nestled in the forest at meadow's edge, Cold Spring Cabin has an outdoor shower and indoor tub. Perched on a hill near the Farm Pond, Ripley Hill Cabin has an indoor shower and tub. The cabins are rustic, but clean and airy. The luxuries at Forest Echo Farm are not inside the cabins; they are found in the light that fills the forest in late afternoon, the silence of an evening canoe and the moonlit sparkle of dewdrops at midnight. Forest Echo Farm includes 360 acres, extensive shore to a 26-acre protected pond, numerous trails, and half a mountain. The Farm Pond offers a refreshing ‘dip’ to cool off. A hike from each cabin leads to Tiny Pond, an unspoiled lake where canoe, kayak and raft are available for shared use. Hiking trails are on the property. In addition to local trails, the Long Trail and Appalachian Trail are nearby. The surrounding area is chock full of restaurants, antique stores, country stores, bakeries, farm stands, farmers markets, general shopping, historic sites, hiking, swimming holes and scenic drives. Preserving and Sharing the Land. Forest Echo Farm is owned by a cooperative group of families and individuals who are committed to the values of simple living and the preservation of our environment. Forest Echo cabins offer a relaxing retreat where you can unplug and reconnect. The Forest Echo Farm community is dedicated to preserving our land, maintaining a balance between our human presence and the natural character of the forest, lakes, and mountains. Through the Vermont Land Trust, we have set aside 80% of our land to ensure that it will never be developed.

Ripley Hill Cabin

Can't say enough good things

Another fantastic stay at forest echo! We had ages 2-60 with us and everyone raved about the cabin and the activities available and the fresh eggs! This will absolutely become a getaway for us and already holds tons of memories.

Ripley Hill Cabin

This was our first stay at Forest Echo and we loved every moment of it! We were happy to stay nice and dry during the few bouts of rain during our trip (we often camp and were happy to take the cabin route this time.) Ripley Hill Cabin fit all 6 of us very comfortably (2 adults, 3 kids, and one dog.) Some highlights of our visit to Forest Echo: the beautiful lake that we swam and kayaked in, the option for an indoor fire on the cool nights, and an outside fire on the warmer nights, the well-marked trails around the property, the extremely helpful caretakers (ALWAYS available to help), and most importantly, the peacefulness of this incredible property. We can't wait to go back!

Cold Spring Cabin

Perfect getaway

Perfect getaway! The cabin is extremely comfortable and quiet (except for all the amazing birds.) The farm, trails, ponds… are all gorgeous. Would highly recommend and we are planning on returning.
