Brookside Retreat
A delightful little getaway
What an amazing secluded spot with so many great amenities. We had a perfect weekend exploring the area and it was such a treat to come back to our compound at night. The kids loved it as well. I’m sure we will be back. Awesome hosts as well who never left us needing anything.

Brookside Retreat
Hidden Gem, Fun For Dogs And Friend
Brookside Retreat was amazing. Alicia and Kevin thought of everything. We camp alot and have alot of gear and supplies so I was skeptical that we could just show up with our clothes, dogs and food. So we packed up our "essentials " just in case. We didn't need any of it except our lanterns and flashlights. The camp really has everything. Hot water shower with biodegradable shampoo and soap. Dish washing station with dish soap, sponges, towels, cleaning wipes. A composting toilet with all supplies. Every kitchen gadget you need for cooking. Plus the pots, pans, cutlery, dishes, glasses, even wine glasses, coffee pot, tea kettle, cups, the list goes on. They provide plenty of drinking water and separate water for dishes and handwashing. Seriously, we could have left 2 big bins of stuff at home. They supply linens and towels but we brought our own since we brought our dogs with us and prefer that they mess up our own stuff!
We were 2 couples and 5 dogs, there was plenty of space to be together and also privacy if we wanted to just chill as one couple.
In addition to the campsite, the land is amazing too. Plenty of space for our dogs to romp and sniff. Long paths for walking, a big grassy area for playing, a babbling brook for splashing, this place has it all. We enjoyed our time at Brookside Retreat and are already making plans to come back.
Thanks Kevin and Alicia!!

Brookside Retreat
Perfect spot!
Best glamping spot ever! We were with a mixed group - some avid campers and some who are not interesting in camping and Brookside Retreat catered to both groups perfectly. The two tents are even more spacious than the look, they mattresses are really comfy, and the cooking tent had everything you could need in it. We enjoyed warm showers and it was great to have an outhouse. For those who want to sleep in their own tents - there's lots of room to pitch yours and sleep under the stars. The convenience of Brookside retreat does not come at any sacrifice of beauty, quiet, or space though. The land itself is gorgeous and super peaceful. There were some parts of the brook deep enough to dunk in which was great on a warm sunny day. Alicia and Kevin extra kind and accommodating to my groups many questions and we're so grateful we got to stay here!

An absolute gem!
We had the pleasure of spending a couple of days at Brookside Retreat, and I can honestly say it was a truly magical experience.
The kitchen was well-equipped, making it easy to prepare meals. Every convenience was at our fingertips. And when it came to sleeping accommodations, we found the beds were incredibly comfortable and cozy, ensuring we had restful nights.
One of the highlights was the opportunity to relax and fall asleep to the soothing sounds of the brook flowing nearby. It was pure bliss.
The only downside to our stay was that it wasn’t long enough. We found ourselves wishing for more time to fully soak in the beauty and tranquility that Brookside Retreat has to offer. It’s truly the ideal Vermont getaway! We left with our hearts full and a longing to return.

Night at Brookside
This was such a lovely experience! Kevin and Alicia are extremely hospitable and thoughtful. We had our dog with us and they had set up some dog bowls with a little treat in there for her! We are so happy to have spent the night in that beautiful place and will definitely be back someday!
