Welcome to Cassiopeia's Hideaway, our off-grid Geodome, located on our 12.5 acre beautiful regenerative agriculture homestead nestled in the mountains. This unique experience is perfect for travelers who are interested in becoming more self-sufficient and curious about homestead living.
Check us out on www.maplemountainhomestead.com and follow our adventures on Instagram and FaceBook @maplemountainhomestead.
The Dome:
While completely off-grid with no plumbing or power, our Geodome is a cozy and comfortable space that allows you to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of modern life and reconnect with Nature. The 294 sq ft dome features a queen-sized bed, a small kitchenette cart with a Coleman 2-burner camping propane stove, woodstove, and a composting toilet. You will also have access to a fire pit for evening relaxation, food forest, garden areas and walking trails in the back woods.
Arrival:
Upon arrival, park in the designated parking area. The dome is a very short walk into the woods. Code for the lockbox will be provided day of.
Heat:
The woodstove is the primary heat source with wood provided. If you are unfamiliar with woodstove operation or aren’t comfortable with them we also provide a Mr. Buddy propane heater. The Mr. Buddy takes two 1lb. propane canisters and offers a quick and easy way to keep warm. You will need to purchase your own propane cylinders for use. They are sold at Aubuchon, Ace Hardware, Home Depot, Lowes, Tractor Supply, Walmart and Target in a two pack. Two cylinders will burn on low for up to 11 hours and approx. 6 hours on high. Do not throw out used/empty propane cylinders. They are to be taken with you and recycled appropriately.
Water:
We provide 1 gallon of drinking water per stay. If you think you will require more, please plan to bring your own.
Cooking:
Indoors there is a Coleman 2-burner camping propane stove. Outside is a grate for cooking over a fire.
Regenerative Agriculture:
Depending on the season, you can have the opportunity to learn about and participate in our regenerative agriculture practices. This includes planting, harvesting, and caring for a variety of fruits and vegetables, as well as caring for our chickens. You'll leave with new skills and knowledge that you can use to become more self-sufficient in your own life.
Winter Camping:
If you're a particularly adventurous camper, you could stay during the winter months snowshoeing your way in and out to the Geodome and keeping warm by the fire.
Other things to note:
Stay within the boundaries of our property and do not go pass the tap lines or to other side of the road.
Being in the country you may occasionally hear gun shots, especially during hunting season.
What's Nearby:
Locally there is our favorite bar, Arrowhead Lodge and also Maquam Winery (seasonal). You can enjoy boating or kayaking on Arrowhead Lake 5 minutes away. Hannaford's, our grocery store is only 8 minutes away.
There are many hiking, biking, and kayaking trails within 5-15 minutes away. For ski/snowboarding, Smuggler's Notch is the closest, about a half hour east and Jay Peak is about an hour north of us.
We are 25 minutes from the city of Burlington and 1.5 hours from Montreal.
