Wise Pines is a Holistic & Sustainable B&B/Hiker Hostel that offers a unique farm experience. In the rural woods of Vermont, this two level renovated barn offers two private rooms, each with queen beds and a bunk room of 8 beds (4 bunks) with a small seating area, and a large upper deck that over looks the property and its wild sunsets. The barn sits on 40 acres of land, complete with walking/hiking trails to enjoy. On the property is a pond, many fruit trees, chickens, and goats.
Though the animals have electric fencing, goats are natural escape artists and love to explore the property to eat trees and more grass. You may see them running around or taking an afternoon nap on the hill, outside of their fenced in area.
The owners live in a separate house on the property with dogs that roam freely. (They are friendly but may bark upon your arrival and come running quickly- they are just wanting to say hi even though it may seem otherwise!)
There is a bathroom with two private toilets and showers, a small kitchenette with a sink, toaster oven, 10.1 cubic ft fridge, hot water kettle and coffee maker.
Please note that the Wise Pine's check-in office is a closed-off room in the barn with its own entrance in the back of the building.
The barn is spaced out from, but shares land with 2 treehouses (used as other lodging accommodations), and a nearby common building that is a shared space for all guests to relax, eat, and attend studio events.
There is only ONE lower bunk bed that is dog friendly as well as ONE of the private room beds. We ask that all dogs be leashed when not within a building. There is a $25 pet fee per dog. Cats and other animals are PROHIBITED. Also note that there is a *LIVE* electric fence that surrounds our goats, who are easily spooked- so please do not approach.
Laundry units are available in the lodge. Please be prepared to bring your own detergent, should you need to use them.
Breakfast is served at 8am daily ($15/guest), and yoga (donations encouraged) are available upon request.
Please note that there is no cell phone service on the property. Be sure to turn on your WiFi calling PRIOR to arriving (while in cell range) so that you are able to make phone calls and text while here.
The property is in the woods rustic woods of Vermont, amongst all of its seasons. Please note that we do our best to maintain the property as weather arises, but the walkways, some of which are a bit steep, may be snowy, icy or otherwise. Please come prepared with a vehicle and shoes that are suited for the season of your arrival (mud, snow and ice) for both our property and the town road we live on. Checking in during daylight hours is advised.
