Our property, Windswept Acres, has been a favorite destination for literally generations of visitors, whether staying in a room in the farmhouse, a bunk in the barn, or "glamping" in our Sugar House. One of those decades-long regulars asked several years ago whether they could locate their RV next to the road on a knoll overlooking our upper pond, and we told them "sure". They own a building company, and were good enough to bring a crew up to prepare the site. They laid pipes to one of our spring-fed wells for water, conduit for both electricity and phone, dug a dry well for grey-water, and moved onto the site for several years. After then they chose to move to a traditional structure further up the hill, and left behind a fully-equipped spot perfect for campers and RVs that we have offered to visiting family and guests! Easily accessible from a dirt road, your shaded site overlooks an acre pond. You are surrounded by lawns, open fields and hills with a small barn across the road from you. The pastures support horses, cattle, sheep and chickens in your neighborhood. The ponds are both great for fishing, and the large one for swimming and canoeing as well. There are trails through the woods and logging roads to be explored on foot or bike. A walk up to the top of the hill affords near-360-degree views. [Note for RV/trailer users: We are at the top of a 1.7 mile hill, of which more than a mile is dirt and the last half die or so is steep. We do NOT recommend pulling anything up this hill with front wheel drive vehicles, especially in wet conditions. If there is any question, be sure to message us for more info.] [Note for GPS-reliers: some GPS devices try to send people up the back side of the hill, which is not an adequate road for any RV or even some cars. Your route should take you to Beacon Hill Road via VT route 110. it should NOT take you to Beacon Hill Road via Brook Road!] Guests are expected to observe full COVID-19 precautions. We cannot accept bookings from high-infection-rate areas at this time. When requesting to book our site, please tell me what county you're from so we can screen guests accordingly.

Windswept Acres offers a tranquil escape with breathtaking views and a welcoming atmosphere. Campers consistently highlight the serene setting, complete with a pristine pond and expansive green landscapes. Hosts Doc and Sarah are noted for their friendliness and the well-maintained amenities, including a composting toilet and a generous fire pit. While the majority rave about the peaceful surroundings, one review mentions the proximity to a road and nearby houses, which might affect the sense of seclusion for some.

Green mountain retreat

20 ft Class C

Amazing setting, sunset view over the leafy green mountains. Beautiful property with a pond and a great fire pit. Like the addition of composting loo and woodstore. More comfortable if you have a self levelling truck. Host was super friendly and helpful.

The RV site has a composting toilet that is neat and tidy, as well as a well installed 30A service. There is also a flush out for your septic tank. Beautiful views of this pristine farm with ponds and willow trees. Very quiet.
