Andrea is a Star Host

Star Hosts are highly rated, responsive, and committed to providing incredible experiences.

Located at the end of a dirt road, quiet with views of Killington/Pico and Salt Ash Mountain. Its a 15 min drive from Okemo/Ludlow, 10min drive from the Appalachian trail (7.9 mile walk) and there are 3 other Ski resorts within an hour of us as well as numerous lakes and hiking trails. Just 2 miles up the road is Star Lake and the quaint town of Belmont. Our 7 acres sits on the Northside of Belmont hill. Half of it is open with several gardens to meander through. There is a pergola filled with kiwis and wisteria and a hammock for lounging. A shady grape arbor filled with white grapes that we have made wine with. On property we have a tree fort, greenhouse, chickens and pigs. We do provide fresh eggs for sale. There is a medium pond in the back for swimming, a large fire pit for fires and but the Hip Shack comes with its own fire pit/grill combo. Wood bundle's are also available. There is a rudimentary outdoor toilet and shower. The shower can be filled with hot water using the faucet by the garage. All water from hoses, pump hoses and faucets is the same drinkable well water, collected from the many underground springs that also feed into the pond.The Hip Shack offers a 4 season shelter with solar light. There is a hammock that can be hung inside or taken down as needed. The Hip -Shack is equipped with a Full Size bed that can be put against the wall as needed. The Hip Shack alone comfortably sleeps 2 and has squeezed in 5 people. We have 3 cots (rental for $5 each). There is room to place a tent outside so this site can host up to 10 guests. The shack is insulated and we offer a space heater. For the winter months the outdoor facilities freeze but we do offer access to an indoor bathroom and shower.

Beautiful fall escape!

Hip Shack

Andrea’s spot is absolutely ideal! The Coop was equipped with everything we needed to sleep comfortably and enjoy beautiful stars and campfire dinners. Her animals (sweet dog, pigs, chickens) were an added bonus as were the views. We can’t wait to come back!

Andrea is awesome! great little camp, it was perfect for my needs as it was more shelter than a lean to but not so expensive as a small house

We had the best weekend getaway at The Coop. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality by Andrea and her family. The Coop is cozy and beautifully maintained. Andrea was an incredibly thoughtful host, offering helpful recommendations and ensuring we had everything we needed for a perfect stay. The animals on the property were a major plus. Great location with gorgeous views. Highly recommend!

The shack was clean and simple, and was beautiful to wake up to the garden and pond on the property. Andrea was very welcoming and I couldn’t recommend this place enough!

Backyard Camping at the Hipshack

Group trip ·

Hip Shack

We spent a lovely night at the Hipshack and felt cozy and comfortable even during some unexpected evening rainstorms. Our host Andrea was super welcoming and gave us a tour of the very fruitful property, sharing fresh tomatoes, walking us through the greenhouse and showing us the nearby fort and pond. The shack has a picnic table, an interior light, and a full mattress bed that can sleep 2 with space to pitch a tent. There is a composting toilet and a solar outdoor shower but no immediate running water access. In addition there is a pond where you can swim, a large fire pit, and a walking trail. I thought this was a great glamping experience with very accommodating hosts. I would note that the Hipshack is about a stone's throw from the hosts home so it was a little less private than other Hipcamp experiences. I would also note that you are camped beside the chicken coop with a rooster so I would recommend earplugs if you want to sleep in.

So the host was super nice and extremely considerate. We stayed in the shack since there was snow on the ground. Its was night time and extremely foggy when we arrived so we where a little on edge at first but they are some of the nicest ppl ive ever met. Definitely made us feel safe and comfortable.

The land is absolutely beautiful. And the family who lives in the house on the property is super friendly and accommodating. The surrounding area is a bit remote. Right up my alley. They have a hydroponics store, a gas station, and 1 or 2 restaurants within a few mins of their property but if you want fast food or a bigger store you'll have to drive about 20 to 30 mins to the next town. The view is amazing on their property. They have a building that is included in your stay or you can set up a tent. There's plenty of hiking areas around there as well. I highly recommend this property.

We had such a lovely time camping at the coop! Andrea has great communication, was a fantastic and gracious host, and her entire family was very friendly and accommodating! The property is super easy to find and not too far up a dirt road (that is very well maintained). The land has gorgeous views, big gardens, an awesome greenhouse, chickens, and is very quiet! It’s the perfect location for anyone wanting to explore Ludlow, Woodstock, Rutland… and beyond! Our camp set up was great! We had everything we needed (including Wi-Fi!). The bathroom is located right inside the house and we were super appreciative of the great water pressure and hot shower! The private pond with a little beach was a major plus for the very hot day we had! 10/10 would recommend if you are looking for a beautiful, quiet, and community oriented place to camp. Thank you Andrea!!
