Welcome to Cassiopeia's Hideaway, our off-grid Geodome on our regenerative agriculture farm, Maple Mountain Homestead. Perfect for travelers curious about homestead living, our cozy dome offers a queen-sized bed, woodstove, and Coleman 2-burner stove. Learn about regenerative ag practices and enjoy nearby attractions and outdoor activities. If you're seeking an immersive experience that combines nature's beauty with the realities of homesteading, book your stay today and reconnect with nature!

The space
While completely off-grid with no plumbing or power, our Geodome is a cozy and comfortable space that allows you to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of modern life and reconnect with Nature. The 294 sq ft dome features a queen-sized bed, a small kitchenette cart with a Coleman 2-burner camping propane stove, and woodstove. The outhouse with composting toilet and outdoor shower is a short walk nearby.

Heat:
The woodstove is the primary heat source with wood provided. If you are unfamiliar with woodstove operation or aren’t comfortable with them we also provide a Mr. Buddy propane heater. The Mr. Buddy takes two 1lb. propane canisters and offers a quick and easy way to keep warm. You will need to purchase your own propane cylinders for use. They are sold at Aubuchon, Ace Hardware, Home Depot, Lowes, Tractor Supply, Walmart and Target in a two pack. Two cylinders will burn on low for up to 11 hours and approx. 6 hours on high. Do not throw out used/empty propane cylinders. They are to be taken with you and recycled appropriately.

Water:
We provide 1 gallon of drinking water per stay. If you think you will require more, please plan to bring your own.

Cooking:
Indoors there is a Coleman 2-burner camping propane stove. Outside is a grate for cooking over a fire.

Guest access
Upon arrival, park in the designated parking area. The dome is a very short walk into the woods. Code for the lockbox will be provided day of. You will also have access to a fire pit for evening relaxation, food forest, garden areas and walking trails in the back woods.

Regenerative Agriculture:
Depending on the season, you can have the opportunity to learn about and participate in our regenerative agriculture practices. This includes planting, harvesting, and caring for a variety of fruits and vegetables, as well as caring for our chickens. You'll leave with new skills and knowledge that you can use to become more self-sufficient in your own life.

*Gardening season for us is end of May through October and the best time to book if you're looking to learn homesteading skills*

Winter Camping:
If you're a particularly adventurous camper, you could stay during the winter months snowshoeing your way in and out to the Geodome and keeping warm by the fire.

Other things to note
Stay within the boundaries of our property and do not go pass the tap lines or to other side of the road.

Being in the country you may occasionally hear gun shots, especially during hunting season.

What's Nearby:
Locally there is our favorite bar, Arrowhead Lodge and also Maquam Winery (seasonal). You can enjoy boating or kayaking on Arrowhead Lake 5 minutes away. Hannaford's, our grocery store is only 8 minutes away.

There are many hiking and biking trails within 5-15 minutes away. For ski/snowboarding, Smuggler's Notch is the closest, about a half hour east and Jay Peak is about an hour north of us.

We are 25 minutes from the city of Burlington and 1.5 hours from Montreal.

If you're looking for a unique and immersive experience that combines the beauty of Nature with the realities of homesteading, Cassiopeia's Hideaway on our regenerative agriculture homestead is the perfect choice for you. Book your stay today and challenge yourself to live closer to Nature!

My work: Farmer
Lives in Milton, Vermont
Welcome to Maple Mountain Homestead, where regenerative agriculture meets mindful living. I'm passionate about cultivating medicinal herbs, teaching homesteading workshops, and hosting farmstays in our off-grid geodome, Cassiopeia's Hideaway. When I'm not on the farm, you'll find me practicing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, snowboarding, or taking pet photos. Join me on this journey of sustainable living and connection with nature!
