Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 1996
Michael and I (Mary) lived in cities before we moved to Vermont. He was in Boston, and I was in Cincinnati, and although we had full lives, we knew something was missing. It turned out to be each other and Vermont! He moved here in 1996 and built this house. As a former landscaper with experience also as a home builder, he put his skills to work, creating a wonderful home. He and I had known each other for many years through mutual friends, and when we visited them at the same time in 2002, our friendship grew. Then I visited him in his Vermont home and fell in love with him and the wonderful place he created. We thought others would love this place as we do, so we created a separate apartment in the house for ourselves and began renting the main part of the house to vacationers. It’s no surprise to us that many city folks feel as we do. This place is not just a great escape. It is paradise.

I had the greatest time here ever this winter. Coney became one of my best friends. The ski season was not the greatest, but your house and property became the place to be while in Vermont. It started with walking and sledding and ending with catching salamanders. Thanks!

We all had such a great relaxing time here. Your home is so comfortable that we truly felt it was a home from home. We had a blast playing pool, watching the sun set, and walking our dog Jake on Old Cheney Road. Thanks for everything.

Thank you so much for the wonderful hospitality. The house was comfortable, spacious and warm. All 12 of us enjoyed the pool table, even Grandma! Our only complaint is our trip wasn’t long enough. Hope we’ll visit again.

Thank you for your hospitality and sharing your beautiful place. The opportunity to gather with our family here was very special. We had some good competition around the pool table and wonderful conversation on the porch. Hope we can visit here again soon.
