About Kathleen Peden

I was born in Burlington and have lived mostly in this area. My roots stem from Swanton, Vt where my mother was raised in the same household as her grandparents. I've raised 4 children, and have 8 grandchildren. On and off, I have lived in other areas on the East Coast but Vermont has always drawn me back. Not only did I miss the snow, the mountains and living close to Lake Champlain but more importantly, I missed the friendliness of the people. I received my MBA from the University of Vermont, schooling as a parent coach from John Rosemond and health coaching from Duke Integrative Medicine. I'm also a certified Home Stager. In addition to running this B & B, I'm in the process of a starting a business consulting and life coaching practice. My natural tendency is to make others happy by creating beautiful spaces while providing anything and everything I can imagine to make others comfortable and relaxed. I hate it when I forget to pack something so my focus in setting up this B & B has been assessing what a person may need that they normally wouldn't pack and if possible, exceeding that expectation. Please let me know if I've left anything out.

Why Kathleen Peden chose South End

My parents bought this duplex years ago and sold it to me in 2014. It's charm and layout along with the fenced-in back yard, 3-car garage and being close to everything that I care about seemed perfect to share with others. As a native Vermonter, I know this area extremely well. I hope that my guidebook will be a real asset to my guest(s), which they will find upon arrival in a binder, as I haven't yet had a chance to make one online.
