Come see Lake Shaftsbury State Park! This 200 year old farm is at the top of a dead end road on 150 acres. It sits in a region of Bennington County formerly called Healing Springs Vermont. The springs that flow off of West Mountain come down through the farm and across Route 7 where they feed the picturesque state park! Arrive at our 150 acre property at the top of this dead-end road.. (Please stay left all the way up to the top...the road becomes our driveway).. Step out onto this 200-year-old farm at your own private site all of which are several acres each minimum.. Walk to streams ponds and Lake Shaftsbury State Park.

One of the most relaxing sites I’ve been to. Wonderful view and the outdoor showers are very cool and functional.

Private, quiet picturesque...perfec
Completely private, peaceful, ideal place to escape for the evening ✨️ or more. With elder dogs, it was perfect because we didn't have to be concerned about others, yet we still knew we were close to others if we ever really needed anything. These pictures tell the story. Perhaps one of the most magic, cool evenings of ☀️ summer for us.

Always love staying at Timbertrail farm. Peaceful, beautiful and private. Heard coyotes at night in the distance and loved it. Clear sky at night and could see all the stars. So thankful that Mike let's folks stay at his farm.

Nice and Quiet!
This was our second time here. One of our favorite spots, so I hate to give a good review! But this place deserves it. Super quiet, secluded. Gets good afternoon shade.

Shady Grove Getaway
This is a beautiful farm on the side of a wild mountain. We loved staying in the rustic chicken coop cabin, it was a nice intermediary kind of camping to do with a kid (especially one who loves playing “olden times”) and allows more space than a tent during a sudden rainstorm. The space felt very private. The meadow was full of wildflowers and hummingbirds and the trees were full of funny red squirrels. Mike was a helpful, welcoming host. We plan to come back soon!
