About the host

Hosted by Lindsay Williams

Host profile image
I grew up locally in Middlebury on a dairy farm not far from Rustic Roots. I enjoy meeting new people, being a mom and designing and creating art of all kinds.

I co-host this property with my parents, who you may encounter during your stay. It has been a fun adventure for us to begin this hosting journey together.

Why they chose this property

Rustic Roots is located on a 70 acre property that includes farmland, woodlands and wetlands that are all protected by a conservation easement with the Wood Land Lakes Land Trust. Sitting out on the porch and enjoying the beautiful scenery is one of my favorite places to relax and unwind.

What makes this property unique

The cabin is a treasured family home. It was built by my grandparents for the express purpose of entertaining family and friends. People all over the world have enjoyed its welcoming atmosphere, but it's significance is particularly meaningful to our extended family as it has been our go-to gathering place for over 30 years. We hope that everyone who visits the cabin will feel the invitation to rest, relax and enjoy their time here.

Please note, one of our host couples lives in a separate house on the property. The two houses share a driveway, so it is not uncommon to bump into the "neighbor" during your stay. If you see them around, they will likely wave and say hello. If you want to chat, they will be happy to accommodate. However, they are also happy to give you complete privacy if that is your desire.
