A Cozy Vermont Escape

Currently we have a Treehouse (Stone City Treehouse), a canvas bell tent (the Pebble Tent), and a 3-bedroom, 2 bath modern home (the Bedrock House). Together, we are calling them our Refuges (a place that provides shelter or protection). They are unique, handmade spaces created for you to retreat, rest, relax, and reconnect with nature, yourself, and your loved ones. Keep an eye out for more accommodation options coming soon and sign up for our newsletter to stay up to date! The Bedrock House is the main house where treehouse and tent guests can access the shared modern bathroom, mudroom and porch.

We know that your decision about where to spend your hard-earned money on vacation is a big one, and we think it’s important to not “nickel-and-dime” our guests.  That’s why nearly everything is included in the cost of your stay!  At this point that includes a handmade gift basket, private access to the sauna, a smokeless firepit including firewood and materials for starting, charcoal grills and charcoal, bikes, kayaks, snowshoes, drinking water, laundry, coffee and tea, and cooking essentials.  We have a few items and services that are available as add-ons, including massage and yoga (in the warmer months), a private photo shoot, and a Vermont-made S’mores kit!  We plan to eventually have “swag” available for sale.

Yes, we allow dogs!  Two maximum are allowed and there is a $15 dog fee to account for extra clean-up.  Please don’t leave them alone in the Refuges for extended periods. Your dog(s) must be friendly and you must keep them under your control. 

We have a two-night minimum in the Bedrock house, and only have a one-night minimum stay in the treehouse and tent! We would recommend staying a minimum of three nights for the ideal stay - this would give you one full day to relax at your site, and another full day to explore the area!

Generally, we cannot accommodate an early or late check-in or check-out.  We are often completely booked and need that brief time available between guests to clean and restock your Refuge.  You are still welcome to inquire, and if we’re able to accommodate, we will!

It is only three scenic miles to town and essentially anything you need in Hardwick!  Check out everything Hardwick has to offer here!  For groceries, we’d highly recommend Buffalo Mountain Market!

Yes!  In the Bedrock House there is a full, modern kitchen.  However, for the treehouse and tent, we’d suggest keeping your meals simple, and even doing much of the prep ahead of time, before you arrive.  This allows you to fully enjoy the Refuge and to not have to manage cleaning as many dishes without running water.  We provide the basics of everything you need, including pots/pans, dishes, basic cooking condiments, a charcoal grill and fire pit.  But, don’t forget about our amazing food options in our little foodie town!  Check them out here!

The Bedrock House is a modern home with electricity and running water. There is electricity in the treehouse and tent, but no running water.

Fresh drinking water is provided at the Refuges and running water is available at Bedrock (the main house).  

The Treehouse is insulated and heated by a propane “woodstove” and can get very toasty, especially in the loft.  The Pebble Tent is not heated at this point and is only open from May through October.

The Bedrock House has a heat pump that can provide heat or a/c.

There is a compost bucket toilet with wood shavings available at the treehouse and tent to provide a clean and convenient option.  

Glamping guests also have access to the modern bathroom at the Bedrock House, including a beautiful shower and a washer/dryer, only about 200’ away. 

We also provide shampoo/conditioner/body wash.  The Bedrock House has a private, full bathroom upstairs, with a tub, and shared access to the downstairs bathroom.

There is no cell-service anywhere on the property but there is a landline available in the Treehouse, on the Bedrock House porch, and inside the Bedrock House. There is wifi at the Bedrock House and treehouse/tent guests are welcome to use it in the shared spaces: in the winter, there’s only a bench to sit on in the mudroom to do any work, in the warmer months, you can sit more comfortably in the enclosed porch.  

We are very intentional to not offer wifi or a tv at the treehouse and tent: we think it’s important to offer a space that allows us to disconnect in an overly-connected world, while providing a space to reconnect with ourselves and our loved ones with no digital distractions. There are tv’s in the living room and bedrooms of the Bedrock House.

You are likely to come across various critters - anything from fairly large spiders and squirrels (most likely) to deer, bears, and moose (less likely).  We are in the woods, so nature and spiders are all part of the package.  You’re also likely to hear owls and loons!  Please be sure to stay on the paths and not trample any native plants.

Please do not leave food or food wrappers outside as it can attract wildlife

Please DO NOT bring your own firewood – it can introduce non-native and harmful insects to the area.  We provide all of the materials you need for campfires, included in your stay!  Extra supplies can be found in the small shed at the edge of the yard.

This part of Vermont generally has snow all winter, and sometimes mud, especially in the spring.  Stone City is located on a dirt/gravel road that can sometimes be challenging if it's muddy or even snowy or icy.  Keep this in mind when selecting a vehicle to drive here in the spring/winter/late fall (ideally 4WD) and bring appropriate clothing and gear for the season.  I’d suggest to always bring slippers!

There are currently some wonderful tenants (and their cats) renting the house and they are very friendly and helpful!  You have shared use of the downstairs bathroom, the mudroom, and the enclosed porch.  The tenant’s private living area is closed off.

We shift between short-term and long-term tenants in the house, so the Bedrock House is only available in a limited capacity at this time

We have a standard 3-prong GFCI outlet that is available for your use in an area that you can park.

In the treehouse, we usually limit this to two guests - the space is quite small (10'x16’ inside).  We also tend to not allow young children to stay in the treehouse because while it was built with safety in mind, it wasn’t built with children in mind.  The Pebble Tent can accommodate up to four people, and we can safely welcome children there!

The  Bedrock House can accommodate up to six and can also accommodate children.

The treehouse is private and about 200’ away from the house and parking, down a relatively flat and wide path.  The Pebble Tent is private and about 100’ away, and the Bedrock House has some shared spaces is very close to the parking.

The Pebble Tent is potentially accessible as it's only one step up onto the platform. Unfortunately the house and the treehouse are not. However, we are building a new cabin this summer that we are intentionally designing to be accessible! We also plan to build an ADU attached to the house that will be ADA compliant.

Our land is a testament to nature’s artistry, shaped by the glaciers that once covered this region. As they receded, they left behind an incredible display of granite treasures—from scattered stones to massive boulders that create a truly unique landscape. You’ll find these beautiful, towering rocks throughout the property, adding to its rugged charm. And in Summer 2025, we’re taking it a step further! We’ll be building a brand-new structure, naturally cradled by a stunning ring of boulders and ancient yellow birch trees, blending seamlessly with the landscape. It’s a one-of-a-kind feature that highlights the raw beauty of this glacial moraine—nature’s way of reminding us of its ancient past.
