The amenities were well thought out, and the site was beautiful. It got really cold at night in Vermont this late in the year, but traveling at this time means we got to be on the lake without encountering many people. I loved going out on the lake in the kayaks, using the firepit, and disconnecting for a bit. Echoing some of the other reviews, the outhouse was well maintained, and had no unpleasant odor. The dry shed was great for keeping firewood dry and storing items so we didn't have to keep walking back and forth to the car, and the tent platform was level, and extremely convenient. Overall, This site provided so much to make our stay comfortable, and we are looking forward to visiting again (next time a little earlier in the year when it's warmer.)
We loved our stay. GREAT amenities and the kayaks were super fun. Outhouse was super clean and didn’t smell at all. The tent platform was super convenient!
Brianne's Alcove on Martin's Pond is a truly magical place! If you are looking for a secluded, private, and beautiful place to camp, this is it! The shed was super helpful for dry storage and the water access with the included kayaks and floaties was phenomenal! No visible neighbors to the left and the cabin to the right is only barely visible through the trees. There are of course other houses around the lake and some power boats so it's not silent but that's to be expected in New England in the summertime unless you are in a state forest or really remote. Bottom line is, if you want to camp in a beautiful, private spot with your own lake access, this is the place!
Incredible hidden gem of a camping spot. Super tidy and not-stinky outhouse, plus a handy shed, sleeping platform right on a delightful pond. The loons are plentiful and the kayaks make getting out there on the pond so easy. Would like to visit again and hike the nearby trails.
Beautiful alcove, comfortable platform, and extremely useful dry shed! We loved swimming in the pond and hiking Devil’s Hill. The town of Peachum is very cute, and we equal parts enjoyed chilling at the campsite and exploring nearby destinations.
What an incredible campsite! Everything was so thoughtfully arranged. It had so many great amenities, such as drinking water, washing water, soap and a sponge, four camping plates, bowls, and cups, grates for cooking over the fire, a hammock, and even kayaks! Def a bougie campsite - you want to stay here!
This place is incredible and we hope to be back! Our first day we had beautiful weather with kayaks, great food and a fire with plenty of wood! Our second night was a huge thunderstorm, but we were so very thankful for the shed to hide out in but still slept dry in our tent due to the perfect sized platform. It was so cozy and we were able to make the most of every minute due to the ammentities available. The host has clearly thought of all the small things, so if you forgot something they've got it! The entire stay was very much refreshing and appreciated! :)
Many more amenities than expected! Grates for over the fire cooking, some plates, cups, kitchen utensils, citronella candles, little charcoal grill! We had a very lovely weekend. Having the dry shed, with the downpour we had on our first night, was essential! Thank you so much. Remote but not super private.
