22mi from Wilgus State Park · 1 siteThe Hip Shack — A Cozy Little Vermont Escape
Tucked at the end of a quiet dirt road on 7 acres overlooking the Green Mountains, The Hip Shack is a cozy, private little cabin made for slowing down.
Inside you'll find a full-size bed, wood stove, table and chairs, keyless entry, and a hammock. Outside, enjoy your own fire pit/grill, plus access to our pond, gardens, hammock areas, communal fire pit, outdoor kitchen, shower and composting toilet.
The outdoor kitchen is stocked with cookware, utensils, an outdoor sink and a Blackstone griddle, so you can easily make a meal without packing your entire kitchen.
We're a 15-minute drive to Okemo and Ludlow, about 10 minutes from the Appalachian Trail, and close to Star Lake, hiking, swimming, skiing and the charming village of Belmont. Killington/Pico and Salt Ash Mountain can be seen from the property.
A Little Farm, Too
You're welcome to wander our gardens, visit the chickens, explore the greenhouse and enjoy the pond. Depending on the season, our Saturday farm stand offers fresh eggs, jams, jellies, pesto and other homemade goodies.
Just 2 miles down the road is the Belmont General Store, a local favorite and home to a seriously good chai latte.
Good to Know
The Hip Shack is a short walk from the parking area. We have wagons available to help with your gear, and kid-sized helpers may occasionally be available too!
The outdoor shower uses our potable well water and can be filled with hot water from the faucet by the garage. The composting toilet and outdoor kitchen are shared amenities.
Come for the mountains, stay for the fire, the pond, the gardens and the tiny cabin.
The Hip Shack can be enjoyed year-round.
