Historic, quintessential VT farmstead on 38 private acres at the end of a quiet dirt road. The Slate Valley Trails pass through our property - providing direct access to 50+miles of world-class mountain biking and hiking trails. We are located mid-point in the network at a perfect jumping off point for adventure. There are also miles and miles of quiet dirt roads and abandoned forest tracks in the area, offering near endless opportunities for gravel cycling adventures. The property features perennial gardens, a pond, open meadows, forestland, and picturesque southerly views from the top of the north meadow. The tent, van and glamping sites are thoughtfully located in protected nooks in the forestland and along the forest's edge. We have hot outdoor showers (3) and a handmade wooden building that houses our portable toilets. There is also a communal fire pit.

Hilltop Tent Site 4
Flop out of your tent, jump on your bike & hit 60 miles of beautiful, well marked single track through hardwood forests, golden rod fields, streams & more. Then bike back to base camp, get a great hot shower & drive 5 minutes to the Poultney Pub for a pint & some local bluegrass. Also had Hardy (the owner) diagnose & fix my brake issue at his fab bike shop in town (Porcupine Bikes.)

Perfect for Gravel Bikers Too!
We had a wonderful time. Gravel biking for me. Sherry hung out and walked our dogs - lots of quiet roads for dog walks. Great bathroom - very clean with nice rough cut boards for a camp feel. If you're a mountain or gravel biker this would be a perfect hipcamp. I highly recommend.

Bell Tent
Beautiful property with a great set up. Cozy tents, the showers were great and the bathrooms were clean. Access to trails from my campsite was a huge plus as well.

An amazing base camp for Slate Valley mountain biking! Right on the trails. Gorgeous property, lovely hosts. Really nice shower situation and the outhouse style bathroom is just fine. Good to know: we were able to back in a 17” camping trailer but the space available for backing in is limited.

lovely basecamp for adventures
This was our second time staying at the trail house and I'm sure we'll be back. It's such a lovely tranquil environment -- Hardy and Caitrin are great hosts and really make sure that guests have what they need. Our group was there to mountain bike, and being right at the trailhead when you wake up is sooo nice. I imagine hikers would enjoy it quite a bit too. Next time we will have to be there for pizza night.

Happy Camping with a 14 month old!
Wonderful place to camp and ride the Slate Valley Trails. The Bathhouse and bathrooms were clean, and comfortable and well thought out! We had the best time and will definitely return!
