Laura is a Star Host

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

We live on a 30 acre homestead in southern Vermont. Besides our animals (currently 6 baby goats, 13 chickens, 2 cats and 1 amazing border collie), we have a beautiful pond, outdoor brick pizza oven (with advance request we can deliver fresh pizza to your campsite), a lean-to where you can gather for dinner or put your tent under if the weather is bad, gardens, the best star gazing you can find, and a beautiful view. Watch and listen to the birds, hang out with the goats, chill in the hammock, or explore Southern Vermont. We live and work on the property. Our campsite allows a max of 4 people and parking for two cars. Since 2019, we've been hosting campers, earning a reputation as proud superhosts with 5-star reviews on AirBnb. With advance notice, we offer farm-made pizzas from our outdoor oven, delivered directly to your campsite. Enjoy the woods and birds, stargazing, or discovering the beauty of southern Vermont. Our campsite is secluded, peaceful, and provides access for up to 4 people and 2 cars. It includes an outhouse, lean-to shelter, two fire pits, Adirondack chairs, and hammocks. The site is about 200 feet from the parking area, accessed by a slight downward slope. We provide a cart to help carry your gear. Though you may spot us gardening or swimming nearby during the day, your campsite offers plenty of privacy. With no other houses on our dirt road, you’ll be surrounded by nature. Clear nights are perfect for stargazing, and the pond beside the campsite adds to the beauty. Although the site has no running water, we provide a 5-gallon jug with a spigot, filled with fresh well water for drinking, washing, and cooking. You can refill it at our house if needed. If you need a shower, we recommend bringing a solar camper shower and hanging it from the lean-to. Our dog usually barks at your arrival but is very friendly and loves people (she will certainly greet you). You’ll have ample space around your campsite to relax. We respect your privacy and kindly ask you to respect ours. Our house, vegetable and flower gardens, greenhouses, and lawn are private.We live on a 30 acre homestead in southern Vermont.
