Tentrr Signature Site - Sugar Shack

The Sugar Shack is a beautiful, secluded, Hike-To, campsite located just an hour outside of Montpelier and Burlington in the quaint town of Rochester. This private tent location is tucked away amongst the towering trees of a peaceful forest. From the parking lot, you will hike 1/2 a mile, uphill, along a maintained trail until you reach the door of The Sugar Shack. The road has a moderate incline with roughly 300 ft elevation gain from the parking area. If you'd rather not carry your gear up, please be sure to take advantage of the drop off service provided in "Extras". The property is home to historical stone walls, the remains of a sugar mill operation, and trails that lead all the way to the top of the mountain. The wooded terrain features over 300 acres of private, unadulterated forest along the West facing side of the mountain. We invite guests to enjoy bird watching, hiking, mountain biking, or just hanging out by the campfire. During the last 2 hours of daylight, be sure to turn your chairs due west to enjoy a spectacular light show as the sun casts its rays through the leafy trees as it sets below the horizon. Looking for more to do? Head back down the mountain, and explore the quaint town of Rochester. The main street is conveniently located about 1 mile up the road from your campsite. When the weather is nice, this is a beautiful walk into town. Rochester hosts several unique boutique businesses, including dining establishments, coffee shops, bookstores, antique shops, a cross-country bike shop, and more! The Rochester Cafe is our favorite spot for breakfast and Lunch! For an evening out check out Docs Tavern. If you are looking to venture past the town limits, we recommend exploring the White River for numerous summer and winter activities including mountain biking, kayaking, swimming, canoeing, tubing, skiing, and snowboarding!
