Hadsel Mares Cabin

Hadsel-Mares Cabin is one of two rental cabins at the Wheeler Pond Camps site in Barton, Vermont. Alongside Jean Haigh Cabin, these two cabins offer a home base for exploring the Northeast Kingdom and the year-round recreation opportunities of the area. 

Hadsel-Mares Cabin

650 square feet downstairs with bunks for 6, sleeping loft for 2 upstairs (guests supply their own sleeping pads). Uninsulated. Main living area. Separate dry kitchen with gray water bucket. North-facing screened porch. Wood stove and seasoned firewood provided. Outhouse.

Please be aware, the cabin is not insulated and will never get as warm as your home. When spending a night at Hadsel-Mares, come prepared with the gear and sleeping bags to keep you warm as if you were camping.
