Recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp is great for families and kids.
Trollhaugen Farm, purchased by my grandfather, David Gardner, was named by my Norwegian mother, Helga, after the summer home of Edvard Grieg. I grew up here and love this place. My husband likes to say that three generations of Gardner women have overseen and reworked this place. Mine is a new chapter, as I am the first one farming with intensity. Hosting guests runs in my blood, as when I was a child, my mother ran a bed and breakfast out of our house. How many times did I have to give up my bed to someone else? Many times. But I loved the hustle and bustle of people coming and going, and the fine meals my mother made based on her knowledge of European cuisine. A lovely place, many people came back year after year and some even moved to Vermont after staying with us! Maybe you will too! We offer a chance to participate in caring for the animals and learning about their funny habits during morning chores. This is a great activity for children and animal lovers alike. Visit the 40 sheep in the pasture, gather eggs from the chickens and learn about the social lives of ducks. Hike the trails, swim in the brook, walk the beautiful dirt roads around us. Take home a dozen farm fresh eggs when you leave Vermont.Bring no sleeping bags; pack no coolers, this yurt has everything you need.  You will sleep in a four poster bed and awaken to birdsong. Glamourous camping, nestled in a shady spot near babbling brooks, on a working farm. Cross the hanging bridge to visit the farm animals. Hike the trails, swim in the brook, walk the beautiful dirt roads around us.

Loved the yurt! Perfect for a little getaway. The eggs provided from the farm was a great touch! Recommended to bring your own light source. Would visit again!

Rustic off grid farm with all you c
Johanna's farm was a getaway like no other. You truly felt alive among the lush trees, wildflowers, mosses and when you were brook-side. Her farm animals were incredibly used to humans and we even had sheep follow us around begging for pets. She offered us to help around the farm and we gladly dove in, enjoying every second. handmaking cider from her apple tree was the "cherry on top", so to speak. Propane stovetop, heat, and shower water was a very nice touch. Pack warm and for off grid nights (lights, downloaded content, coolers etc.) boots for mud are highly recommended. The little details to the yurt were incredibly thoughtful, from fresh picked flowers, to farm fresh eggs for breakfast provided upon arrival. One of a kind. We will be returning and suggesting this location to anyone who will listen.

The yurt was so large and cozy. I love that we had a full bathroom inside it. My favorite thing was the suspension bridge which had a brook under it. I did yoga and stretching there each day. I brought my own hammock and tied it to a few trees, and actually completely relaxed. We loved having our own fire each night. The yurt is in the woods far away from the house so you have plenty of privacy. We can’t wait to go back again!

The Perfect Glamping Experience!
We really enjoyed our stay at the yurt and were pleasantly surprised by all the amenities despite the fact that it’s off grid. There’s hot water, a full shower, a gas cook top and a cast iron gas for heating. There are also some coolers neatly tucked under a bench all you need is some ice, your food and you’re good to go. I’d advise bringing some headlamps or a battery operated lantern but other than most things you’d need are provided. It’s the perfect get away if you want to be out in nature beside a babbling brook and a campfire but don’t want the hassle of tent camping. We highly recommend it!
