This Vermont Glamping Tent Offers an Unforgettable Stay

There’s something almost otherworldly about waking up in the woods, wrapped in the warmth of a glowing fire, surrounded by towering trees and complete stillness. At Highwood Retreat’s West Camp, that’s exactly the kind of dreamy escape you can expect. If you’re searching for a Vermont vacation rental that feels like stepping into a storybook, this secluded glamping tent is it.

Tucked away on a private 90-acre property in Springfield’s wilderness, you'll find an elevated safari-style tent. The adventure begins with the journey itself: a short, scenic walk (or quick shuttle ride) through lush trees leading you to your secluded retreat. Upon reaching the tent, as you ascend the wooden staircase and step inside, the outside world fades away. Plush velvet chairs, a queen-sized bed draped in soft linens, and the flickering glow of a wood-burning fireplace create a space that feels both cozy and refined. The vintage-inspired decor evokes a sense of old-world charm, offering an experience that feels like a step back in time.

The West Camp gives you a luxurious experience without sacrificing your connection to nature. There’s no running water, but the setup includes a composting toilet, a safari sink, and fresh water provided by the hosts. Meals are simple, with an electric kettle and pour-over coffee, so bringing prepared food or takeout from nearby restaurants is a smart choice. This setup encourages you to disconnect from daily life, be present, and savor the moment.

If you have a four-legged companion, they’ll be pampered too, with a cozy dog bed, raised bowls, and a blanket.

Beyond the tent, the surrounding property is full of places to explore, with trails winding through woodlands, wetlands, and historic rock walls. Whether you're hiking, stargazing from the deck, or curling up by the fire with a good book, this is the perfect place to slow down, relax, and let your mind drift.

If you’ve ever wished you could step into a dream, this Vermont vacation rental is as close as it gets. Let reality slip away and embrace the enchantment—book your stay at Highwood Retreat's West Camp today and experience it for yourself.
