Cozy Mountain cabin was absolutely magical. Extremly cozy from the moment you walked through the door. The amenities were amazing, so thankful for extra power banks! The dogs and us are looking forward to another stay!

3 nights at Riverside Retreat and Tiny Cabin
The cabin above the Poultney River was very sweet and comfy and had a great view. It's convenient to town on a quiet street. The stereo rocks and in warm weather the little yard would be pleasant to sit in.

Weekend Trip to Bent Apple Farm
Perfect snow get away. Wood burning stove and heater kept us warm, even with just one. Enjoyed listening and looking through the vinyls. Loved the hot tub after a long day of hiking and the comfy bed. The cabin was cute and felt very lived in. It was a nice surprise to see a journal of how many people stayed there, especially during Covid, very lovely notes people left!
Only down side - couldn’t stop sneezing at times, lots of dust in the crevices of the wood floor and fabric. Also wish there was a bit more privacy at the door and hot tub, could see the guest next door.
Overall definitely would recommend and stay again!

6 nights at Riverside Retreat and Tiny Cabin
Had a most wonderful cozy winter stay at the tiny house. Such a beautiful location (overlooking the Putney river), with nice views and quiet surroundings. The cabin itself was well equipped with everything we needed, and a quality propane stove that kept us warm through a 0° night!
Robbin was very communicative and responsive to any questions we had leading up to and throughout the stay.
So grateful to have discovered this little gem and looking forward to visiting again in the spring or summer. Thanks!

I loved being there. Easy to find. Lovely to walk around the farm. Enjoyed the alpacas, chickens and turkeys. The staff was easy to communicate with via text. Electric, water and fire pit all easy to find and use.

The place was very accomodating and has plenty of character with a few short but that's what I came for, away from the city!!! My family had a good time.
On a snowy winter day you definitely need AWD.

Gorgeous location! What a cool spot. Directions brought us right up the road that runs between the two main houses- Your classic white antique farmhouse on the left & the newer house on the right. Just past the house & down around back, we loaded up 2 big bins of firewood & headed down the hill to the campsite entrance on the right. There are 2 ponds along the road where RV's & vans can park, no fire pits, & kind of out in the open for us. The lower pond & camp site was lovely, but little tricky to get our little schoolie parked in close to the fire pit area, plus it was a bit wet & mushy, (understandably, in late November) so we decided to walk down & see if there was a dryer option. We found a few more drive-in campsites each with picnic tables, fire pits, a little outhouse & level, nicely woodchipped, tent spots. It's all pretty obviously marked with painted signs & little solar lights. Its adorable. We parked our bus down there since it was cold as heck & we wanted to be very close to a bonfire! This area was also more private, in the edge of the woods under the trees. We had the whole place to ourselves. We had a huge bonfire, while it lightly snowed. Beautiful.

Wonderfully warm and curated cozy cabin! It was a wet, chilly, late fall weekend and we were so comfortable in Robbin’s tiny house. Everything was just as described and we likewise had everything + more we needed. Really enjoyed the sound system and super appreciated the ample water provided. Love the added space of the lofted bed. The pull down ladder went with the overall fun, creative vibe of the spot. Would absolutely recommend and stay again!

We had a wonderful time. The view was spectacular. The accommodation suited our needs. Having to outdoor compost potty with a scenic view was a plus for outdoors camping. We had heavy rain, but we were prepared. Mike had that wonderful pizza oven that we took full advantage of making so delicious pizza. We plan on returning to repeat our adventure.

We enjoyed the horse run in! The run in was clean and had everything we needed. Very much enjoyed the wood burning stove, hot tub, and fire pit. We found the dvd player, books, and record player charming. The farm is beautiful and we enjoyed the town of Londonderry. While the listed rules were a bit overwhelming, Ben and Loana were very kind and hospitable and easy to deal with (it was only surprising bc the rules had set a bit of a different tone). I would highly recommend.

The area is right in the middle of the forest which made for a fun drive and just a beautiful landscape. We got unlucky that the first night was uniquely cold and windy but the host was so great at trying to accommodate and keep us warm. She was very available and considerate. I would highly recommend this place for the scenery and the host!

Camping near Fair Haven guide
Where to go
Lake Bomoseen
Under 15 minutes from Fair Haven, Bomoseen State Park is set on the shores of Vermont’s largest lake, Lake Bomoseen. The park offers camping, boating, and fishing, while hikers will find several forest trails, including one to nearby Half Moon Pond State Park. Campers can make reservations up to 11 months in advance.
Half Moon Pond State Park
Only 20 minutes from Fair Haven, Half Moon Pond State Park is situated on a quiet pond in the middle of dense woods near Bomoseen State Park. Motorized water boats are not allowed on the pond, making it ideal for paddlesports and fishing. In addition to 11 lean-tos and 52 campsites suitable for tents and medium-sized trailers, Half Moon Pond State Park also has five cabins and one cottage available for rent.
Green Mountain National Forest
In southwestern and central Vermont, just west of Fair Haven, the Green Mountain National Forest spans nearly 400,000 acres of green valleys, mountains, lakes, and streams. Parts of the Appalachian Trail run through the forest, and several national forest campgrounds offer quiet, scenic camping spots in the heart of the woods. Once the snow falls, the Green Mountain National Forest becomes a popular destination for cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, and downhill skiing.
When to go
The best time to camp, hike, and boat at the state parks and national forest surrounding Fair Haven is from late May through September. The Bomoseen State Park campground is only open from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend, while the Half Moon Pond State Park campground stays open until the second Monday in October. Some Green Mountain National Forest campgrounds are open year-round. Fall is a popular time to visit Fair Haven, as leaves start changing in mid-September and often peak in early to mid-October.
Know before you go
- You can find grocery stores, restaurants, and most other visitor services in Fair Haven.
- The Fair Haven Vermont Welcome Center is a great place to get trail maps and camping information, as well as a free cup of Green Mountain Coffee.
- Vermont state parks often have restrictions on where dogs are allowed. Pets are often not allowed on swimming beaches or in day-use areas, though leashed dogs are allowed in Green Mountain National Forest.
