Cabin · Sleeps 4 · 1 bedroom · 2 bedsFox Farm is located on 8 magical acres in eclectic Brattleboro, VT. The Fox Farm Cottage is a sweet space that includes a loft for sleeping and sharing with a comfy bed and futon, above a quaint family room with a hearty woodstove. The warmer months provide sweet summer breezes and intoxicating scents from the surrounding flora. The Cottage has a beautiful covered porch overlooking garden beds, fruit trees and abundant wild red and black raspberry bushes. The porch has also been enjoyed by many when the winter chill sets in and the snow falls with a silence that is pleasant and the scent of wood smoke that is memorable.
The Cottage comes with a charcoal grill and your own private fire pit. Please bring you own wood for indoor/outdoor fires, I can't seem to always have wood to share. To note, the stairway to to the loft is narrow and should be a consideration for those who may experience difficulties. The Fox Farm Cottage is a rustic step up from tent camping that it is cozy, cute, charming and warm and does not (at this point) offer plumbing or water. It is not fancy, but comfortable.
The cottage comfortably sleeps 3 (Queen size comfy bed in loft with a futon that could sleep 1 adult or two children). I provide linens for the bed but would advise folks to bring extra blankets if chilly.
Because there have been requests to camp outside the cottage for larger groups (this is seperate from the campground which is located on the other side of the property), I have most recently added a $25 PP charge for overflow guests who may want to crash on the porch or sleep in their own tent in the back yard of the cottage area. To date, I have set the site up to include 5 additional people for overflow and can be discussed if there are more folks who want to join.
Offered are a primitive portable potties with compostable bags provided. I have a carry in/carry out policy with an expectation that guests pack out what they pack in and includes trash, recycling and waste. Further amenities may be arranged by talking with Cindy, the property owner, or Mark if needed.
The hipcamper can expect privacy yet easy accessibility to the homeowner for tips and ideas to support a positive experience.
Fox Farm is located ideally on a trail-head that leads to the West River Trail (a 36-mile scenic trail through the West River Valley – eventually linking Brattleboro, Dummerston, Newfane, Townshend, Jamaica and South Londonderry) and the West River, offers opportunities to visitors to hike, fish, swim, ski, snow shoe and bike. The Marina Bar and Restaurant is a 2 mile hike or bike ride from the cottage (via the West River Trail) and is a fun way to see the beauty of Vermont and partake in some excellent indoor/outdoor dining with views of the water.
Brattleboro is a funky, hipster town with many excellent restaurants and much to see and do.
For winter enthusiasts Mount Snow is a 30 minute drive and folks can cross country ski and snowshoe right from the cottage to the 36 mile trail for tons of fun.
Cottage guests may be greeted and visited by two friendly Bernese Mountain Dogs Loki Bear and Levi!
