Fall is now upon us and stick season blooms with shadows of magnificent branches of pines and maples as they dance under the moon and Milky Ways shadow. The crisp and clean air is a contrast to the summer warmth. The scurry of nut gathers and sparkling frosts on lingering dried grasses delight the senses. Winters snows and all the festive activities bring a new delight to the darkened days, with merriment, caroling, and outdoor markets. The snow shoes and sleds are ready for your arrival as well as area sled rides thru the woods, and trails for snowmobiles and cross county. The sauna beckons, with the hot glow of fire thru the steam laden glass door, after a hot stone massage to ease those muscles not used since last winter. The sacred geometry gardens take on a Winter wonderland serenity, twinkling with crystals of moisture turning before your eyes. The fire pits are stacked with wood to warm your toes, cook some some mores, or enjoy a sky filled with yes even more twinkling lights to delight the imagination. If your a downhill skier, we are 45 to 90 min from Stowe, Smugglers Notch, Burk< Cannon, Mt Washington, Killington and Sugarbush, so in any direction you can came home to Cabot.

Stoke fire, tend to scars

Sandy was responsive, attentive, and kind. My arrival time changed twice and I had electrical connection needs for an experimental camping style with my Ioniq 5 EV. Sandy gracefully accommodated all my needs. The sauna. OH SO GOOD. Private, serene, and purifying. While you’re cooling off, walk the spiral garden and touch the standing quartz at the center. The quiche! Made using organic, native ingredients grown on the farm - it was a special treat, filled with tastes of home. There is warmth, art, and wisdom to be found at Back Roads Farm.

Hive Design Cabin.

The Hive Design cabin was excellent! It was cute, comfy, and private. We had access to a shower, toilet, potable water, a fire pit (great for roasting hot dogs), and even a sauna! The property was beautiful, picturesque even. Sandy was an amazing host. She was friendly and helpful. When we arrived, close to sundown, she invited us to take a quick ride in her ATV to see the sunset from a viewpoint down the road from the property. It did not disappoint. We witnessed the sun set behind a beautiful mountain range. Would definitely come again.

Hive Design Cabin.

A short and sweet stay, spent a night in the hive cabin while on a road trip back home and had an amazing stay. Sandy is such a friendly and welcoming host that made the stay very special for us. She made sure all of our needs were met and gave us many helpful tips and interesting spots to see in the surrounding area of Cabot. Wish we could've stayed longer and got to fully experience everything there was to offer. I recommend this cabin to anyone, it was such a lovely time.

Hive Design Cabin.

Our stay on Sandy’s land was lovely. Relaxing and beautiful area. We loved the Hive Cabin—it was cozy, scenic, and felt private. We greatly appreciated the added lighting strips! We took part in a pottery class where we made 2-3 pinch pots to take home. We enjoyed the sauna and the stargazing! Cabot itself had a town store and a hardware store that became a pub for dinner and live music at night. We loved the Nichols Ledge trail nearby. Beyond that, Cabot was low key but close enough to other nearby areas with more stores, restaurants, breweries etc.

Cozy Cabin

Cozy autumn cabin

A beautiful farm with so many cool things to see and do! We took the ceramics session with Sandy, and it was so much fun and we learned so much. Sandy is incredibly accommodating, and we hope to return soon!
