Highwood Retreat

A Valentine weekend that can’t be topped! From the moment we arrived we were greeted with warmth and enthusiasm!! Our bags were whisked off to the East camp, as we strolled up from the parking area to our camp! From the moment we arrived at the camp I knew it was special! Exactly as depicted and then some!! The attention to detail can’t be over stated! Additionally, my Valentine arranged for wine, roses, and a charcuterie board, all of which was orchestrated by our hosts! Everything was perfect! Throughout our stay fire wood was replenished and the hosts were very accessible without being intrusive. Glamping in February - not an issue …. Between the wood stove, extra heater and amazing heated mattress pad they’ve got it covered! Truly unique experience - we would highly recommend

My husband and I spent our 25th Anniversary at Highwood Retreat and we will be back next year for your 26th Anniversary. Katharine and Sam are welcoming hosts that have created an unforgettable experience. The glamping tent was cozy and beautifully decorated. We order the breakfast basket, s'mores basket, and the charcuterie board. The charcuterie was a perfect lunch. Everything was beyond our expectations.

It’s difficult to put the magic of Highwood into words; how you can feel transported to another time, but still enjoy all the luxuries and amenities of modern life. The setting is breathtaking and on a clear night the stars put on quite the show. Our hosts, Katharine and Sam could not be warmer or more ready to make our stay exceptional and memorable. The room service is a particularly decadent touch - highly recommend the cheese board, the rosemary infused negroni and of course, the champagne (brought to you in a standing ice bucket!!) to enjoy beside the fire. Comfiest bed I ever slept on. Will miss making a fire in the morning to sip my coffee by. Can’t wait to return, this is truly a one of a kind experience.

Five stars are not enough for this truly miraculous place! I was looking for a getaway for my wife’s 50th birthday in Vermont near a handful of farm-to-table restaurants she had always wanted to try, and somehow luckily stumbled upon Highwood Retreat. We rented the East Camp, which we found to be one of the most romantic, breathtaking, special places we’ve EVER stayed. Though our first night included freezing temps, we stayed toasty warm with the mattress heater, the propane heater in the tent, and the roaring wood stove! The food was next level, from the luscious breakfast delivery in a pretty picnic basket to the outstanding charcuterie spread delivered to our door with drinks in yet another picnic basket! As if being in a five star hotel room inside a safari tent on a gorgeous plot of l

Our stay was truly exceptional. Katharine and Sam were warm, friendly, and welcoming hosts who went above and beyond to make the experience enjoyable. Every small detail of the decor was beautifully designed and thoughtfully arranged. The location was amazing, peaceful, scenic and perfectly situated. The tent itself was extremely comfortable, offering both relaxation and charm. The charcuterie board was delicious and beautifully presented, adding the perfect touch to an already wonderful stay. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a memorable and well-curated getaway.
