Capture the spirit of 1960s wanderlust in a vintage Airstream trailer. Come enjoy a unique glamping experience in a magical setting. Perched above a cascading brook in the woods, running on solar energy, you'll discover why guests are reminded of what matters most - life is better with less. Wander the woods, enjoy the flowing water views and disconnect from the life you left behind. 'The mountains are calling and I must go...'
This 1965 Airstream 'Globetrotter' is located in the heart of the Northeast Kingdom, just minutes from the center of Greensboro, VT. A short walk brings you to the center of town where you'll find Willey's Store (groceries, wine/beer, hardware, housewares, clothing/shoes and gas). Greensboro also has an art gallery, amazing glass & pottery artists, library, arts center and more. Caspian Lake is a short walk or drive from the Airstream. Less than 10 minutes away, you'll arrive at Hill Farmstead Brewery, a destination craft brewery, winning "best beer in the world" status many years running!
WELCOME to Fallingwater Airstream, a vintage Airstream glamping experience! Come & enjoy this unique opportunity, where "less is more". You'll discover our fully-equipped camper has everything you need for an escape away from the hustle & bustle of everyday life - all while allowing you to live simply and reconnect to what matters most. Located in a magical woodland setting and running on solar energy, Fallingwater offers you the opportunity to replenish your soul and recharge your mind.
Fallingwater is situated on the site of the historic Greensboro sawmill - from which the entire original town was built! Perched high above a cascading brook in a wooded setting...with natural deck and firepit to relax and enjoy the sights & sounds of the brook below. (Firewood and kindling are available on site.)
You'll wake up to the sounds of water flowing, birds singing and views of the sun shining through the tall trees. Relax on the deck, or in Adirondack chairs around the fire, while cooking your dinner over a campfire. Settle in for the night under the starry skies or bistro lighting and savor the peace and tranquility. There is nothing like the night sky in the Northeast Kingdom!
This vintage 1965 Airstream 'Globetrotter' is a 19' long vacation in a trailer! The curvaceous interior has been restored for comfort and ease of living. The exterior is traditional "aircraft aluminum" and the interior has been restored for comfort and convenience...lots of storage drawers and cabinets. The interior features the original "Zolatone" paint.
The space boasts a couch, which transforms into a full-sized bed. (Since it can be a little tricky to unfold, we'll have the bed set up and already made with cozy linens, down comforter and warm blankets for your arrival.) Above the bed area is a sliding cabinet where we keep books, maps, etc. You'll find books on local Vermont wildflowers, mushrooms, campfire recipes and outdoor survival.
The kitchenette features a propane stove/oven, mini-fridge, microwave, toaster, and is fully equipped with pots and pans, bowls, colander, dishes, glasses and mugs, and utensils/cooking gadgets. There are many cabinets for storage.
The eating area is a table for 2 with cushioned seats and throw pillows, overlooking the deck and woodland setting. (This table and seats can be turned into an additional bed for a third person, if requested.)
There are 2 storage closets between the kitchen and bathroom, where you'll find: extra blankets, bath/hand towels and washcloths, hair dryer, first aid kit, extra toilet paper, paper towels and space to hang clothing.
The bath area features a medicine cabinet for storage and small shower stall with curtain and bath mat. There is a heater at this end of the trailer which can be used in colder months to heat the entire trailer. We have removed the toilet from inside the trailer and built a composting outhouse (with a light) just steps away from the trailer. Lighting is provided for the walk to the outhouse at night.
The Airstream is set up to be off-grid, powered by solar energy, with electricity as a backup. Internet and land line (from which you can make local calls) are part of modern conveniences. There is no TV - we recommend bringing a laptop if you'd like to stream movies via Wifi.
Guests must carry in drinking water. There is a limited supply of water (about 110 gallons) for showering/dish washing, etc. Water is gravity-fed from a tank in the sawmill barn and we must re-fill depending on how quickly guests use water. Water to the Airstream is only available up until the first chance of freezing in the fall, it becomes available again after the winter thaw and is safe for showering, hand-washing and doing dishes/cleaning. We recommend that you conserve water as much as possible - quick showers and don't leave water running for extended periods.
IMPORTANT THINGS TO NOTE:
*Bring your own toiletries, though sample sizes are provided.
*The mini-fridge is small, so limit your grocery load until you see the space. You can walk to Willey's around the corner for groceries or supplies.
*Feel free to bring anything you might need for traditional camping - there's a good chance we already provide it, but best to be prepared!
*Limit shower times to be sure you don't run out of hot water! (This is a camper after all and the hot water heater runs off of solar power.)
Guest access
When you enter the property, you'll see the giant barn that was once the old sawmill, along with a small red barn. Parking area is noted with signs. A short walk past the barn will bring you to the Airstream.
The property is 8 wooded acres, separated by a brook that runs through it.
Guests are conveniently close to the center of Greensboro, yet you'll feel like you're a world away when in the Airstream. A walk through the woods will lead you to openings where you can sit by the brook and enjoy the peace and solitude. In the woodland areas, you can no longer hear the sounds of society.
Willey's Store is just minutes from the property, and has just about everything you could imagine...food, a fabulous selection of beer/wine, clothing and shoes, housewares and hardware. The town of Greensboro also boasts an art gallery, glass/pottery artisans, library, and the Highland Art Center, which is a cultural arts campus (and home of the Hardwick Street Cafe).
The town of Hardwick is a 10 minute drive from the center of town with lots of restaurants to choose from for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The quaint town also has multiple grocery stores and shops.
Fallingwater is located just a few miles from Hill Farmstead Brewery, voted Best Brewery in the world many years running - a local must-visit! Seasonal outdoor activities in the area are endless. Greensboro has it's own set of cross-country ski trails and is just 15 minutes from the Craftsbury Outdoor Center (hundreds of miles of pristine cross-country skiing and sculling). We're just minutes from Caspian Lake, where you can swim from the public beach, kayak, canoe, SUP and more. We're about 45 minutes from Stowe, Burke Mountain and Jay Peak for downhill skiing. Easy to strenuous hiking can be found all around the area - so much to do within 30 minutes or more of Greensboro. Lake Willoughby (a truly otherworldly place) is about 35 minutes away. Fall foliage season is unbelievably gorgeous, especially when viewed from high within the mountains!
Other things to note
Seasonal Information:
In warmer months, you can get here easily in any vehicle. In snowy weather, we highly recommend 4WD or AWD vehicles for getting around this area - there are many secondary roads with packed snow/sand in winter, and these roads can be difficult to navigate without snow tires or 4WD.
In winter months, it snows here almost every day - sometimes just a flurry and sometimes a few inches or more. Guests are expected to do some light shoveling if necessary, around the trailer and their own vehicles. Snow boots and proper outerwear are a must!Capture the spirit of 1960s wanderlust in a vintage Airstream trailer. The curvaceous interior has been restored for comfort and ease of living.

Fallingwater Airstream
Fall leaves in the Airstream
Fallingwater Airstream was an incredible getaway for my partner and me this early fall! I surprised my significant other with a weekend away to see the leaves change and it was absolutely perfect. Leslie and Matt left lots of perfect little extras, and the location was beautiful. We never wanted to leave. We will be back! Thanks Leslie and Matt for a great stay!
