The First Seven
Every room has a first night: the first time someone opens the door, sets down a bag, and hears how quiet it is out here.
It could be you.
This winter, The Suites open at Vanderkamp.
We'd like those seven first nights to belong to our true VK fans.
Find a suite that feels like yours then submit your entry form below by November 13 2026.
On November 17th, we'll draw seven first guests, one for each room.
- The 7 Suites -
Seven rooms beneath one roof, each named for a way of paying attention to the world.
Every suite is unique, but all have a kitchenette, bathroom, work space, and lounge area.
The Naturalist’s Suite
STUDIO + PORCH · SLEEPS 3 · 335 sf +porch
A field station for the curious, with sun-warmed ochre walls, raw wood and stone, and a small cave-like study where the world narrows to a notebook and an idea. Everything here is meant to be picked up and touched.
The Detailer’s Suite
ONE BEDROOM · SLEEPS 7 · 615 sf
A naturalist’s laboratory turned suite, with deep walls, aged brass, a vintage microscope and instruments, and Ernst Haeckel’s astonishing drawings throughout. New details are still surfacing on day three.
The Forester’s Suite
ONE BEDROOM + PRIVATE PORCH · SLEEPS 5 · 485 sf + porch
For minds that need quiet and a pace that needs slowing. Pale wood, fog-soft walls and light glowing through timber; almost nothing is here, and that’s the point.
The Muse’s Suite
STUDIO · SLEEPS 4 · 355 sf
It’s the early 1900s and Vanderkamp is hosting: plum velvet, polished brass and fluted-glass sconces scattering light across a room made for creating. The navy jewel-box bathroom is the encore.
The Sage’s Suite
STUDIO · SLEEPS 2 · 265 sf
A deep-green library scaled to a bedroom, with a writing desk and a shelf of books at its heart and every detail tuned for reflection. Arrive with something to think through; leave with it written down.
The Stargazer’s Suite
STUDIO + PRIVATE DECK · SLEEPS 4 · 335 sf
Midnight walls, a soft glow and a brass telescope made to be carried out to the private deck for the real sky. The bathroom feels like the surface of the moon.
The Navigator’ Suite
STUDIO · SLEEPS 2 · 265 sf
A captain’s study for the restless, with cognac leather, dark teak, brass instruments and a wall-sized map of the land just outside the window. Natural light pours in and makes a case for exploring in any season.
The Hearth
SHARED LOUNGE/LOBBY FOR ALL SUITES GUESTS
The shared lounge at the center of The Suites: morning coffee, in front of a fire, a borrowed book, and the conversations that happen between rooms.
Before opening to the public, we’re inviting a first round of guests to stay in each room, share their perspective and help shape the experience for others.

At Vanderkamp, I feel the world becoming sufficient again. The restless need to do, acquire, and become something begins to fall away. I find myself attending to the water, the light, the wind through the pines.
Nothing extraordinary needs to happen.
Life, encountered directly, is extraordinary enough.
I feel both more completely myself and less separate from the world around me.
For a little while, I am no longer trying to get somewhere.
I am here.
