About

Highwood Retreat is a luxury glamping destination located on 160 acres of Vermont wilderness in Southern Vermont, at the foot of the Green Mountains. The property features hand-crafted safari tents designed as a boutique hotel experience that combines off-grid living with 5-star amenities. Guests enjoy luxury bedding, exquisite linens, curated treasures, plush robes, and meticulous attention to detail—all while sleeping under the stars with the magic of the natural landscape. The retreat operates year-round and is owned and operated by Sam Parsons and Katharine Mangold, who designed and built the property themselves, bringing their backgrounds in film and theatre to create an immersive, intentionally curated escape. Every element has been crafted to delight, from the lighting and textures to the way the forest frames your morning coffee. This is positioned as an experience for intrepid romantics seeking a secret escape that feels transported to another time while still enjoying modern luxuries.
