Cradled by forest and the sound of a flowing brook, this lovingly restored 1965 Airstream invites you to slow down and reconnect. Sip coffee on the deck, share laughter by the fire, and gaze at stars that feel close enough to touch. Inside, soft light, vintage charm, and cozy comforts create a space made for togetherness—a woodland retreat for dreamers, stargazers, and anyone seeking a little magic.
The space
**UPDATE: The water supply will be turned off during cold-weather months to prevent pipes from freezing. The Airstream still has power, Wifi, heat & a composting outhouse available in winter - just no running water.**
Welcome to Fallingwater Airstream, a vintage Airstream and unique glamping experience!
Come & enjoy this special opportunity, where "less is more". You'll discover our fully-equipped camper has everything you need for an escape away from the hustle & bustle of everyday life - all while allowing you to live simply & reconnect to what matters most. Located in a magical woodland setting & running on solar energy, Fallingwater offers you the opportunity to replenish your soul & recharge your mind.
Fallingwater is situated on the site of the historic Greensboro sawmill - from which the entire original town was built! Perched high above the cascading brook in a wooded setting...with natural deck, covered roof over the Airstream & firepit to relax & enjoy the sights & sounds of the brook below. (Firewood & kindling are available on site.)
You'll wake to the sounds of water flowing & views of sun shining through the tall trees. Relax on the deck, or in Adirondack chairs around the fire, while cooking your dinner over a campfire. Settle in for the night under the starry skies or bistro lighting & savor the peace & tranquility. There is nothing like the night sky in the Northeast Kingdom!
This vintage 1965 Airstream 'Globetrotter' is a 19' long vacation in a trailer! The curvaceous interior has been restored for comfort & ease of living. The exterior is traditional "aircraft aluminum" & the interior has been restored for comfort & convenience...lots of storage drawers & cabinets. The interior features the original "Zolatone" paint.
The space boasts a couch, which transforms into a full-sized bed. (Since it can be a little tricky to unfold, we'll have the bed set up & already made with cozy linens, down comforter & warm blankets for your arrival.) Above the bed area is a sliding cabinet where we keep books, games, maps, etc. You'll find books on local Vermont wildflowers, mushrooms, campfire recipes & outdoor survival.
The kitchenette features a propane stove/oven, mini-fridge, microwave, toaster, and is fully equipped with pots & pans, bowls, colander, dishes, glasses & mugs, French press and utensils/cooking gadgets. There are many cabinets for storage.
The eating area is a table for 2 with cushioned seats & throw pillows, overlooking the deck & woodland setting. (This table & seats can be turned into an additional bed for a third person, if requested.)
There are 2 storage closets between the kitchen & bathroom, where you'll find: extra blankets, bath/hand towels & washcloths, hair dryer, first aid kit, extra toilet paper, paper towels & space to hang clothing.
The bath area features a medicine cabinet for storage & small shower stall with curtain & bath mat. There is a heater at this end of the trailer which can be used in colder months to heat the entire trailer. We have removed the toilet from inside the trailer & built a composting outhouse (with a light) just a short walk from the trailer. Lighting is provided for the walk to the outhouse at night.
The Airstream is set up to be off-grid, powered by solar energy, with electricity as a backup. Internet & land line (from which you can make local calls) are part of modern conveniences. There is no TV - we recommend bringing a laptop if you'd like to stream movies via Wifi.
Guests must carry in drinking water, though we supply a gallon for your arrival. There is a limited supply of water (about 110 gallons) for showering/dish washing, etc. Water is gravity-fed from a tank in the sawmill barn & we must re-fill depending on how quickly guests use water. Water to the Airstream is only available up until the first chance of freezing in the fall - it becomes available again after the winter thaw and is safe for showering, hand-washing & doing dishes/cleaning. We recommend that you conserve water as much as possible - quick showers & don't leave water running for extended periods.
IMPORTANT THINGS TO NOTE:
*We recommend bringing anything you need for your stay in large plastic tubs with lids - the space inside the Airstream is small, so leaving your belongings outside on the deck leaves you with more space inside.
*Bring your own toiletries, though sample sizes are provided.
*The mini-fridge is small, so limit your grocery load until you see the space. You can walk to Willey's around the corner for groceries or supplies. We recommend bringing a cooler with ice to leave on the deck.
*Feel free to bring anything you might need for traditional camping - there's a good chance we already provide it, but best to be prepared!
*Limit shower times to be sure you don't run out of hot water! (This is a camper after all & the hot water heater runs off of solar power.)
Guest access
When you enter the property, you'll see the giant barn that was once the old sawmill, along with a small red barn. Parking area is noted with signs. A short walk past the barn will bring you to the Airstream.
The property is 8 wooded acres, separated by a brook that runs through it.
Guests are conveniently close to the center of Greensboro, yet you'll feel like you're a world away when in the Airstream. A walk through the woods will lead you to openings where you can sit by the brook & enjoy the peace & solitude. In the woodland areas, you can no longer hear the sounds of society.
Willey's Store is just minutes from the property, and has just about everything you could imagine...food, a fabulous selection of beer/wine, clothing & shoes, housewares & hardware. The town of Greensboro also boasts an art gallery, glass/pottery artisans, library, and the Highland Arts Center, which is a cultural arts campus (and home of the Hardwick Street Cafe).
The town of Hardwick is a 10 minute drive from the center of town with lots of restaurants to choose from for breakfast, lunch & dinner. The quaint town also has multiple grocery stores & shops.
Fallingwater is located just a few miles from Hill Farmstead Brewery, voted Best Brewery in the world many years running - a local must-visit! Seasonal outdoor activities in the area are endless. Greensboro has it's own set of cross-country ski trails & is just 15 minutes from the Craftsbury Outdoor Center (hundreds of miles of pristine cross-country skiing & sculling). We're just minutes from Caspian Lake, where you can swim from the public beach, kayak, canoe, SUP & more. We're about 45 minutes from Stowe, Burke Mountain & Jay Peak for downhill skiing. Easy to strenuous hiking can be found all around the area - so much to do within 30 minutes or more of Greensboro. Lake Willoughby (a truly otherworldly place) is about 35 minutes away. Fall foliage season is unbelievably gorgeous, especially when viewed from high within the mountains!
Other things to note
Seasonal Information:
In warmer months, you can get here easily in any vehicle. In snowy weather, we highly recommend 4WD or AWD vehicles for getting around this area - there are many secondary roads with packed snow/sand in winter, and these roads can be difficult to navigate without snow tires or 4WD.
In winter months, it snows here almost every day - sometimes just a flurry & sometimes a few inches or more. Guests are expected to do some light shoveling if necessary, around the trailer & their own vehicles. Snow boots & proper outerwear are a must!
