We bought this property in 2012 and have built several buildings and forged paths throughout the 32 acres. Our road is part of the North Country Trail, a footpath stretching over 4,600 miles from Middlebury in central Vermont to Lake Sakakawea State Park in central North Dakota. While tearing down the existing house, we constructed two bedrooms in the pole barn for a quick living space. Once settled in the pole barn, we a built a small log cabin with already felled timbers from the local woods, except for the box frame which was purchased from the local Amish. Prior to building our permanent log cabin home, this small cabin was our camp site and is now being rented to people that want to relax and enjoy the outdoors. In the middle of the woods, we created a campground to be enjoyed and on the North side of our property is a tree line between two fields that is a great small camper/tent camping spot.

Rustic Log Cabin on Edge of Woods
I enjoyed the fire pit and the rustic cabin were great! The start of the fall colors was great to enjoy and the wildlife as well. Would definitely recommend if looking to get away from it all.

Lovely!
Gorgeous place with so many gorgeous trails to follow. Mack and Ann were helpful and friendly. We had an amazing time. Take the time to enjoy and wonder at all the fine hand craftsmanship that has gone into every inch of this property. I am greatful Ann and Mack allow sharing of their piece of heaven.

Truly private, quiet camping
This is one of only a few Hipcamp sites I've been to that is really, truly private -- you are far enough out on the trail that you see no other people or structures. It is also far enough away from roads that you hear zero traffic. You are left completely alone to enjoy the space, and that's how I prefer it. I'm a solo female camper and felt totally safe and at home. It's rustic yet with conveniences -- the composting toilet is easy to use and a relief to have close by, and the campfire area is set up so you can quickly get a fire going to enjoy. As other reviewers have noted, the hosts really do everything they can to make your arrival, stay, and departure as easy going as possible. Just a few things to note while you plan your getaway: Cell service can be spotty in the area (at least it was for me -- my carrier is T-Mobile), so if you use something like Google Maps to get around, be sure to download a map of the area to use offline when you need it. The mattress included in the tiny cabin is a sleeping pad that is vinyl covering a basic, spongy kind of foam that compresses quite a bit under pressure -- I suggest bringing your own if you need more than an inch of cushion, and don't forget to bring any bedding you'll need for your stay. And the usual common sense stuff. Reach out to the hosts if you have any questions -- they are very responsive.

Charming and quiet
Charming place, lovely location and trails next to a beautiful river. Owners were respectful and also responsive. Great view of the stars and comfortable fire pit. Clean as well!

I had a great time staying in the tiny cabin during a 25 mile hike on the North Country Trail, and Ann truly went above and beyond helping me get back to my car after I finished the hike. You couldn't ask for better hosts!

Loved it!!!
This sweet little gem in the woods is perfect for a rustic getaway. Truly a place of peace + calm + connection. The hand-built cabin is so impressive and inspiring and has the bare essentials you’ll need for a great stay. Ann + Mac are the best hosts as well as their crew up pups, chickens and wildlife. If you’re worried about the composting toilet, please don’t. Everything is clean and inviting. Sustainability using sawdust is how you can think of it. The walking paths are magical as well as the river that runs through the property. Dip your toes or take a drift. All things about this stay was wonderful. We will be back 🙏
