After driving the shoreline road of Lake Willoughby, the road to access the land is a steady climb to ..... feet.  Stop and look behind you and you'll see the Western view of successive mountain ridges and Lake Willoughby.  The immediate land and surround has been in the Cole family for generations and we are honored to be the next stewards of this parcel.  We look forward to sharing the beauty of this area and this space with you.   Learn more about this land: The cabin is located 3 miles and 1,700 feet up from Lake Willoughby in the Town of Westmore. We invite you to stay!  Looking behind as you drive up Coles Mountain to the land, you see views of Lake Willoughby and rolling mountains heading out to the horizon in the west.  Majestic.   Once you have traveled 3 miles and gone up 1,700 feet from Lake Willoughby, you cross a land bridge over a stream and enter a private clearing ringed with tress and forest.  This is an old orchard in the forest with an off-grid cabin.  Cozy surroundings.  Though you may hear others on surrounding properties, you don't see them.   Cross another stream and the land goes back another 10 acres into deep forest.  Magical. Outdoor activities throughout the area include hiking, skiing and mountain biking at Burke Mountain, Kingdom Trails Association, Craftsbury Outdoor Center and local Vermont State Parks, as well as kayaking, swimming, and fishing on Lake Willoughby.  Watch the sunset at Sentinel Rock.   As noted on the Vermont Department of Health's website, "Vermont has reached Step 4 of the Vermont Forward Plan. Except for international travel, travel no longer requires testing or quarantine. Masks are still required on public transportation, including school buses. CDC recommends delaying travel until you are fully vaccinated because travel increases your chance of getting and spreading COVID-19." The cabin is located 3 miles and 1,700 feet up from Lake Willoughby in the Town of Westmore.

Vermont Orchard Cabin at Willoughby
Sweet cabin, close to Willoughby
Amy's cabin is a fantastic place to stay! The cabin is clean, private, and is in close proximity to Lake Willoughby, Crystal Lake, and Island Pond. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and look forward to returning to Amy's cabin during a future visit to the NEK.

Amy’s camp is a piece of paradise in the remote mountains of the Northeast Kingdom. The cabin is beautiful and the location is private and peaceful. It is everything an escape should be! Thanks so much Amy & family.

A unique Hipcamp experience. Very cozy and private. Loved the location and thoughtfulness that went into making the cabin feel like home. Everything you need is provided and Amy was a great host with excellent communication.

What a beautiful and relaxing spot, we were able to enjoy it under rain and sun. We used our camping mattresses and were able to sleep 2, one on the top floor and one on the groud floor. The cabin is very welcoming and has most of what you need to cook, relax and enjoy life. We really enjoyed it and would go back again. Thanks for sharing this with us!
