Swimming Hole Jumping, Mountain Biking, and Nature Trail Hiking Season Is Here!
Phoebe's Perch is our 240 sq. ft. A-frame cabin located on Rochester Gap in central Vermont.
The Perch is 100% OFF-GRID and represents glamping at its best! With no electricity, running water, or Wi-Fi, it’s the perfect place to unplug and get away from it all while enjoying Vermont’s beautiful Green Mountains.
The Space
Our A-frame cabin (known as Phoebe’s Perch) is 240 sq. ft. with a sleeping loft. It sits on 37 acres surrounded by nature.
The Perch is a simple shelter in the woods. It’s fully insulated, and there are some basic furnishings and supplies, but guests should bring anything they would normally take on a tent camping trip. (No tent needed!)
Think of it as "glamping" but in a cabin.
You will find a queen mattress in the loft and two cots stored away on the lower level. Just bring your sleeping bag and a pillow to enjoy a restful night’s sleep.
The Perch is 100% off-grid (no electricity, no running water, no shower, no heat/AC, and no Wi-Fi), but you will find a battery bank for powering your phones and other small devices. In warmer weather, we provide water in a couple of large jugs for washing up. (The provided water is not for drinking.) There are battery-powered lights inside the cabin, as well as a motion-activated light in the outhouse.
A Solo Stove fire pit sits on the porch for nightly campfires (bring firewood with you). There is also a propane grill and a two-burner Coleman stove for cooking. (Propane is provided.) You will find tools for making s’mores and a teapot, but other dishes, pots, and pans are not yet available, so please bring what you need with you.
The property has trails throughout, and guests are encouraged to explore at their leisure. Please be mindful of Vermont’s wilderness as you hike. There are animals, exposed (and hidden) roots, rocks, and other obstacles. In wet or snowy weather, the trails WILL be slick. Hike at your own risk.
Please note that you will need to walk along a short path (about 100 yards) from the parking area to the cabin. Stairs and a ladder must be used to access the cabin, sleeping loft, and outhouse. Please consider your physical limitations when booking your stay.
Cell phone service is spotty, but calls and texts should work fine. Streaming video will be a challenge.
There are a couple of wildlife trail cameras set up on the property. They do not capture video, but they do take pictures of passing animals (and yes, passing people).
This is a carry-in/carry-out rental. Whatever you bring with you needs to leave with you, including trash. We do not charge a cleaning fee, and guests are asked to tidy up before leaving so the cabin is ready for the next guests.
Lastly, NO THIRD-PARTY BOOKINGS! The person whose name appears on the reservation must be present for the duration of the rental. Violations will result in guest removal/cancellation. No refunds will be issued in such situations.
Guest Access
The entire cabin and all 37 acres are yours to explore. Only one renter/group will be on site at a time, so you will not be interrupted by others.
Other Things to Note
This is a carry-in/carry-out rental. Due to its remote location, you will need to take your trash with you when you leave.
I do not charge a cleaning fee because guests are asked to clean up before they leave. Please leave the cabin as you found it.
There is a broom and dustpan, along with cleaning spray and paper towels. Please help keep costs down for future renters by keeping the cabin tidy for our next guests.
PLEASE NOTE: The last 0.3 miles (3/10 of a mile) of road to the property is a Class 4 road. While the road is perfectly passable in dry weather, it can become muddy and slippery in rain or snow. It is highly recommended that a four-wheel-drive vehicle with ground clearance be used in such conditions.
AAA does not tow from Class 4 roads.
The cabin is in the woods, on a mountain, and you will be surrounded by wildlife. Deer frequent the property. While I have never seen one, black bears are native to Vermont, and it is always possible that one could be on the property. Be mindful when out in the woods, on the property, or anywhere else.
NO THIRD-PARTY BOOKINGS. The person named on the reservation must be present for the duration of the rental. Violations will result in guest removal. No refunds will be issued in such situations.
