Our Story
Pine Haven began as a simple conviction: the best nights are spent under stars, wrapped in the silence of old-growth pines, with nothing between you and the earth but a thin canvas.
Today, our 40 acres along the shores of Lake Champlain's watershed host a small collection of thoughtfully placed structures — yurts, tree-top cabins, and glamping domes — each designed to leave the lightest possible footprint.
Accommodations
Every stay is different — because every corner of Pine Haven offers a different relationship with the landscape.
Spacious circular tents nestled among white pines, with queen beds, ambient lighting, and private decks overlooking the wood.
Elevated retreats built around living trees, with wraparound balconies, skylights, and the sounds of the canopy as your lullaby.
Geodesic domes with transparent panels for stargazing from your bed — heated, insulated, and surprisingly luxurious.
The Experience
Pine Haven is designed for slow mornings, long walks, and the kind of silence that fills you back up. Here's what you'll find when you arrive.
Miles of private trails winding through old-growth forest, leading to hidden clearings and overlooks.
A short walk to the water's edge — kayaks available seasonally for exploring the shoreline.
Gather each dusk around our stone fire pit with hot cider, stories, and Vermont's most spectacular dark-sky view.
Owls, foxes, loons, and woodpeckers call Pine Haven home. Binoculars are provided at check-in.
Our Commitment
Every decision at Pine Haven is filtered through one question: does this make the land better for the next generation of visitors — and for the creatures who already call it home?
All lighting, heating, and amenities run on renewable solar energy — zero grid dependency.
All water is filtered and recycled through natural wetland systems before returning to the watershed.
For every guest stay, we plant two native trees — over 2,000 planted since we opened our doors.
We source food, supplies, and labor from Chittenden County farms and businesses whenever possible.
"We came for a weekend and left with a deep sense of having remembered something important — what it feels like to truly slow down, to listen to a forest, to sleep beneath a sky full of stars."
