2 acres hosted by Adam K.

This whole area is a collection of small Vermont hill farms. Primrose Hill was a farm from its construction in the 1850s until the 1920s or 1930s. In the 1940s a family from Maryland bought it and used it for a few weeks a year as a summer house until I bought it last year. The house didn't get electricity until the mid-1980s, and running water in the early 1990s, so it's remained mostly unchanged for a long time, but over the last century the pastures that once surrounded the house have been taken over by dense forest, like most of the state has been. The house is the iconic high-posted cape style that's absolutely everywhere in Vermont, so to call it quintessential isn't an overstatement. It's peaceful, private, and quiet, and has a really good vibe.

The Stargazing Spot

This is a beautiful homestead with large yard in a wood forest setting. Nice fire pit, several options to choose from for tent sites and a convenient full bath. And friendly neighbors! Highly recommended.

The Stargazing Spot

We absolutely loved our stay at Primrose Hill. Adam is a great guy and excellent host. The shower was a big plus and was very clean. The property itself is beautiful and quiet. The stars at night are fantastic, we even had a deer come see us late at night! It was exactly what we needed.

The Stargazing Spot

Great Spot

This is a fantastic spot! The options to camp are great and having a separate toilet and shower are key. The surrounding area is quintessential Vermont country and the insights and tips provided by Adam were invaluable. He also went out of his way to get the fire pit completed before we got there which made the experience all the better. The description doesn’t lie: we could see so many stars at night that made for a wonderful way to go to bed. One thing to note is that the drive in off the main road is up a hill on an unpaved and bumpy dirt road. We were very glad we brought our SUV 4x4. Not sure our Sedan would have made it up in wet weather. Overall we loved it and will be back.
