Fox Farm is located on 8 magical acres in eclectic Brattleboro, VT. Pitch your tent in a sacred private white pine forest or closer to the trail-head with access to a charcoal grill, a huge fire circle and a picnic table. If you prefer a roof over your head, check Fox Farm Cottage @ Fox Farm. Located ideally on a trail-head that leads to the West River Trail (a 36-mile scenic trail through the West River Valley – eventually linking Brattleboro, Dummerston, Newfane, Townshend, Jamaica and South Londonderry) and the West River, offering opportunities to hike, fish, swim, ski, snow shoe and bike. The Marina Bar and Restaurant is a 2 mile hike or bike ride from the camp site (via the West River Trail) and is a fun way to see the beauty of Vermont and partake in some excellent indoor/outdoor dining with views of the water. Currently there are two areas available to campers; The Pine Forest and the Council of the Elders. The Pine Forest is a shaded circular area that is very spiritual and quiet. There are currently 3 camp sites in the Pine Forest. The Council of the Elders is a more open (again circular) area that abuts The Pine Forest and has a large fire pit as it's centerpiece, surrounded by the Elder Pine trees. I have had up to 2 campers and an occasional van/camper at the Council of the Elders. I have most recently had requests to book the entire Pine Forest for guests who are traveling together and want privacy- and Ido my best to work with people to accommodate any needs. Please bring your own firewood if you intend to have a fire. I offered wood to guests in the past when I was able but found that tricky to manage as there are times I myself am out of wood. There is plenty of felled wood all around as the property is surrounded by a dense forest and guests are welcome to gather that to supplement fire making. In my experience as a host, I have noted that folks come together and build mini-communities, share food, fires and is generally a positive vibe. Some come for privacy and solitude, which has not been an issue thus far. All in all the energy is upbeat and folks make friends along the way- me too! Brattleboro is a funky, hipster town with many excellent restaurants and much to see and do. For winter enthusiasts Mount Snow is a 30 minute drive and folks can cross country ski and snowshoe right from their camp sites to the 36 mile trail. The Hipcamper can expect privacy yet easy accessibility to the homeowner for tips and ideas to support a positive experience. Campers may be greeted and visited my friendly Bernese Mountain Dog's, Loki Bear and Levi!

Fox Farm Cottage

90% (68)

Cabin · Sleeps 4 · 1 bedroom · 2 beds

Fox Farm is located on 8 magical acres in eclectic Brattleboro, VT. The Fox Farm Cottage is a sweet space that includes a loft for sleeping and sharing with a comfy bed and futon, above a quaint family room with a hearty woodstove. The warmer months provide sweet summer breezes and intoxicating scents from the surrounding flora. The Cottage has a beautiful covered porch overlooking garden beds, fruit trees and abundant wild red and black raspberry bushes. The porch has also been enjoyed by many when the winter chill sets in and the snow falls with a silence that is pleasant and the scent of wood smoke that is memorable. The Cottage comes with a charcoal grill and your own private fire pit. Please bring you own wood for indoor/outdoor fires, I can't seem to always have wood to share. To note, the stairway to to the loft is narrow and should be a consideration for those who may experience difficulties. The Fox Farm Cottage is a rustic step up from tent camping that it is cozy, cute, charming and warm and does not (at this point) offer plumbing or water. It is not fancy, but comfortable. The cottage comfortably sleeps 3 (Queen size comfy bed in loft with a futon that could sleep 1 adult or two children). I provide linens for the bed but would advise folks to bring extra blankets if chilly. Because there have been requests to camp outside the cottage for larger groups (this is seperate from the campground which is located on the other side of the property), I have most recently added a $25 PP charge for overflow guests who may want to crash on the porch or sleep in their own tent in the back yard of the cottage area. To date, I have set the site up to include 5 additional people for overflow and can be discussed if there are more folks who want to join. Offered are a primitive portable potties with compostable bags provided. I have a carry in/carry out policy with an expectation that guests pack out what they pack in and includes trash, recycling and waste. Further amenities may be arranged by talking with Cindy, the property owner, or Mark if needed. The hipcamper can expect privacy yet easy accessibility to the homeowner for tips and ideas to support a positive experience. Fox Farm is located ideally on a trail-head that leads to the West River Trail (a 36-mile scenic trail through the West River Valley – eventually linking Brattleboro, Dummerston, Newfane, Townshend, Jamaica and South Londonderry) and the West River, offers opportunities to visitors to hike, fish, swim, ski, snow shoe and bike. The Marina Bar and Restaurant is a 2 mile hike or bike ride from the cottage (via the West River Trail) and is a fun way to see the beauty of Vermont and partake in some excellent indoor/outdoor dining with views of the water. Brattleboro is a funky, hipster town with many excellent restaurants and much to see and do. For winter enthusiasts Mount Snow is a 30 minute drive and folks can cross country ski and snowshoe right from the cottage to the 36 mile trail for tons of fun. Cottage guests may be greeted and visited by two friendly Bernese Mountain Dogs Loki Bear and Levi!

Camping at Cindy's site offers a mix of rustic charm and natural beauty with some practical considerations. Most campers appreciate the proximity to the river and the West River Trail, which is great for outdoor activities like hiking and swimming. Cindy is praised for her warm hospitality, although guests should be prepared for basic amenities, including a composting toilet without much privacy. Some reviews mention the site's proximity to nearby homes and road noise, which might not suit those seeking complete solitude, but many find the overall experience enjoyable and relaxing.

Pine Forest Site 1

Good, flat space for tent camping. My favorite part was the access to the river which is about a half mile hike away, and has some good swimming spots for dogs. The camping spot is somewhat close to homes, and you can hear the cars in the distance at night (no big deal). Make sure to bring TP, garbage bags, and water. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

While Cindy was nice and met us on arrival. She was very insistent on us texting our arrival time which sort of cramped our plans. The site was kind of Hap hazard with junk scattered about. I feel for the price a raked area for site and some sort of outhouse would have been provided.(there was a commode like my mother used before her death sitting at edge of one of the campsites). Her dog(big) jumped on the side of our car and us upon arrival. The site was quiet(except road noise) but again for price it was not what we have come to love about Hipcamp. Based on our other fabulous experiences with Hipcamp this one gets a meh.

The host Cindy is a down-to-earth lovely person. She did whatever she could to make sure my stay at her camp was enjoyable. I had some unfortunate repair needs for my RV and didn’t have the proper tools. I asked Cindy to borrow one which she didn’t have, but she went out and bought the tools I needed That enabled me to make the repairs. I would definitely come back there again and recommend her camp to anyone.

Private cozy cabin near River

Fox Farm Cottage

This is a great spot for backwoods camping. For people understand that, it’s a great little spot. Spent one night with two dogs. Outdoor space/porch is perfect but less secluded than I had thought. Bed is super comfy!! Love the vintage hunting cabin feel to it. Only down side which Cindy clearly explains is the bathroom situation. I stayed less than 24 hours... If I had to do #2, I would have struggled with the idea I’m sure lol. No running water.

Overall we had a nice experience. We were not prepared to carry our human waste out with us in a garbage bag. The toilet that is available on site is a bedside commode in which you are asked to carry out your excrement and dispose of it on your own. We were told we could dispose of it at the local Dunkin' on our way out of town.

Council of the Elders- Site 5

This site is lovely and feels remote while being very close to Brattleboro shopping and town center. I heard distant coyotes and nearby owls at night (the elders holding council?) under a clear starry sky in a circle of tall pines. I brought everything with me that I needed, but there is a basic (not covered) outdoor toilet and a 5-gallon fresh water dispenser nearby. Cindy greeted me with a happy smile and a vase of garden flowers :) Thank you!

The cottage is really cute and comfortable but still rustic (bucket toilet, no running water , etc.). Perfect for camping with a little extra protection from rain or bad weather. The covered porch was lovely and made our stay particularly enjoyable.

The rustic cabin was exactly as stated. It was quaint and comfortable. The short hike to the river was the highlight for my family. My only hesitation would be the bathroom situation. My family and I are very use to "roughing" it, but the miscommunication about carry in and carry out of waste, was misunderstood. For that, I could not recommend this to family or friends. In the future, if a outhouse is available, then 100% would recommend. Cindy was a great and attentive host. Thank you for that!!

Cindy’s site was a perfect getaway, really beautiful space for my group of 5. The river is a pleasant 15 minute hike to a really great watering hole that is quite warm in the summer. Cindy was also wonderful with communication leading up to the trip, and once we arrived. Would absolutely return.

The site is beautiful, close to the river, and so many fun things to do in town. Cindy is a kind and generous host. The pdf guide, water, seating, fire pits, were all so helpful and made it a very special visit, especially camping with two young kids. Cindy was very available, responsive on text for any questions or needs, friendly, and a joy to talk to.

I really loved tent camping at fox farm! The site was secluded, a perfect size for 1-2 (or one and a dog) and it was peaceful and quiet. Cindy, the host, was excellent! She was welcoming, made sure I had everything, snd was very kind! I felt like I was able to press “reset” on my brain, and so happy there was a spot on a busy weekend! The site itself is very easy to access, and close to a lot of amenities without having light pollution. Downtown area was about 12 mins away, there’s so many hiking and walking places close to the site, and it was close to 91 without hearing it. I def intend to stay here again! 10/10 would recommend!!

Fox Farm Cottage

My friend and i needed a getaway from it all, and picked Fox Farm for its location, charm, price, and high ratings. We're so glad we did! The cottage was incredibly comfortable and well-furnished. But it was the warm welcome Cindy gave us - with fresh flowers, a lovely fire in the firepit, and a little time to chat - that made it truly special. Nothing like concierge care to make a getaway very relaxing. We highly recommend Fox Farm Cottage!

Pine Forest Site 2

While we didn't have the opportunity to interact with our host extensively due to our short visit, we found her to be readily available when needed. In that regard, she certainly deserves commendation. However, our disappointment stemmed from the accommodations. I asked if there was water, and the host kindly offered to bring some from the house. While this gesture was thoughtful, it didn't prove to be the most convenient solution for either party involved. Moreover, our experience with the composting toilet left something to be desired. It consisted of a 5-gallon bucket, a composting bag, and a chair equipped with a toilet seat. We were informed that we could relocate it to a more secluded spot, but given the small field we were situated in, finding a truly private area was a challenge, especially in the rain. Considering the price we paid, which was $65, we had expected more in terms of facilities. It felt impractical to have to search for a suitable spot to attend to our basic needs. In summary, while this site might have been acceptable for $23, we felt somewhat disappointed and overcharged at $65. We had genuinely hoped to give a glowing review in every aspect of our stay.
