Tanglebloom Cabin offers a one-of-a-kind glamping experience in New England—designed for those who crave quiet, beauty, and space to breathe.

July in Vermont: Everything Slows Down (In the Best Way)
July is peak summer in Vermont. The air is warm but rarely oppressive, the gardens are bursting with life, and the long evenings invite you to linger outside long after the sun goes down.
This is a time for:
Waking up with the birds and going to bed with the crickets
Wild swimming in clear, cold rivers
Afternoon naps in the shade, guilt-free and deeply earned
Evenings by the fire, fireflies flickering in every direction
At Tanglebloom, nature leads the way—and July is a front-row seat to her lushest, most colorful performance.
A Glamping Cabin Surrounded by Wildflowers
By mid-July, the landscape around the cabin is alive with color. Think yellow coreopsis dancing in the wind, and dahlias, cosmos, zinnias, and more spilling out of the cutting garden like nature’s own confetti.
Guests are invited to:
Pick their own bouquet from the cutting garden and wildflowers (yes, seriously)
Wander the property and soak in the colors, scents, and textures
Take golden hour photos with a view that looks straight out of a storybook
Simply sit with a mug of tea or glass of wine and watch bees do their thing
This isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a place to come back to yourself. The kind of setting that naturally slows your heart rate and sparks something creative inside.
Fireflies After Dark
Ask past guests what their favorite part of a summer stay was, and many will say: the fireflies.
As the sun sets and the temperature dips, fireflies light up the meadow like tiny lanterns. It's the kind of simple, breathtaking moment that can stop you in your tracks.
You can watch from:
The front porch of the cabin
A blanket in the field
The wood-fired hot tub under a canopy of stars
There’s no WiFi in the cabin—and you won’t miss it. Nights here are best spent unplugged and awe-struck. (Don’t worry, there’s WiFi in the outdoor kitchen so you can be connected if needed)
What to Do on a Summer Retreat (When You Don’t Have to Do Anything)
Tanglebloom was designed with the belief that rest is a vital part of life—and that you don’t have to earn it through productivity.
Here’s what a summer retreat in Vermont might look like:
Sleep in. The birds won’t mind.
Brew a cup of organic coffee and sip it slowly on the deck.
Wander the flowers or journal under a tree.
Visit a local farm stand or farmer’s market for the best strawberries or fresh goat cheese.
Take a dip in the West River or Rock River swimming holes, just 10 minutes away.
Head back for a soak in the hot tub and watch the light change.
End the day with fireflies, stars, and deep, dream-filled sleep.
A Few More Reasons July Is the Sweet Spot
Comfortable temps (usually in the 70s–80s during the day, cooler at night)
