Maple Sugar at Goodrich's and fresh blueberries and veggies at Blossoms and Berries, as well as Burtt's Apples and of course Cabot cheese The land is diverse with large open meadows to fields to quiet pine forest. As you walk the tree line you will find old farm implements, old bottles and even an old Ford coop. I would love to restore and use them on the farm. The land is on the crest of the ridge looking East to Danville and the White Mts, and a few feet to the West the entire Green Mts splay before you. The water tastes wonderful, and bubbles up here and there on the property. Our neighbors who also offer camping have sheep, to berries... I offer the healing arts, massage, scar release, the sauna, and other art learning experiences. Please call for arts schedule. * Ps please do not say you will arrive at 5 and show up after dark! Respect goes both ways. I appreciate great campers who pick up and discard their pets poop and respects my time a well. Ps no smoking cigarettes on the property. Thank you to all my great campers! And blessings to those few bad apples!

Restoration

Staying in a hive was borderline spiritual! We enjoyed the stunning landscape, beautifully made cabin, and the peace that a momentary escape like Sandy’s place provides. Book here and you’ll be restored!

Art, Health & Chill Camping

Disconnect and Immerse Yourself

Sandy greets you the minute you arrive and makes you feel welcome. Her property contains so many gardens to explore with a plethora of flowers and vegetables that she will happily identify for you. There are so many spots to sit, relax, and take deep breaths while taking in the views. I would highly recommend taking a pottery class with her. We gained a foundational knowledge of her craft, were able to explore a variety of clays, and watch a demo of how she works a pottery wheel. Lastly, the sauna was an amazing way to end our day. The heat loosens up your body and clears your airways with the addition of essential oils. All of this combines just shows Sandy’s level of dedication to making it the amazing Hip Camp that it is!

Just wow.

I loved my little cottage under the stars! Sandy is so kind and attentive, she made our stay incredibly welcoming and her care for the land and its plants was evidence to her nurturing spirit. I cannot wait to return (and maybe do some pottery)!

Cozy Cabin

Camping for a nearby music festival

I LOVED the wood fired sauna, the simplicity and the land at Sandy’s place. Sandy was a superb hostess to my party and saw to it that we were okay. I left wayyyyy more relaxed and in- tune with nature. Thank you Sandy!!!!
