Grand Loft with Gracious Hosts
It was a pleasure to stay in Kathy and Jims home. Although we hadnt realized it was their primary residence we couldnt have felt more at home while enjoying our time off the slopes of Mt Stowe. Their home is beautifully appointed and large enough to accomodate our entire group of 6 without feeling cramped. Their belongings, momentos, and family photos add lovely personality and did not feel overbearing or awkward. We're looking forward to renting the entire property for our next trip and explore more of Vermont! Cheers, Robert

Perfect getaway
The lodge was so warm and welcoming it was like visiting a family members house. The area was quiet and the view on the deck is incredible. The owner was very attentive and provides a lot of information of what to do or where to go if you're having a hard time deciding.

The photos don't do it justice
We arrived after dark and drove up the long bumpy road, a little nervously, but the crossed skis on the tree very clearly marked the driveway to the house, and the motion detector turned on lights as we drove up. We were completely surprised by how amazing the house is inside -- it looked great in the Vrbo listing, but is even nicer in reality. Completely well equipped, beautiful views on all sides, mattresses and pillows were comfy, we couldn't have hoped for better in any way! The owner was easy to reach and made sure we had all we needed.

About the host

Hosted by Jim Lengel

Host profile image
We're a recently retired couple. We've both been in education since the early 70's. Jim worked mostly in higher ed (Boston University and Hunter College) while Kathi focused on K-12 as a teacher and principal. Our current work involves consulting with schools and universities around the world as they seek to better use modern technologies in meaningful ways.

We split our time between wintering at Crossett Hill Lodge in Duxbury, Vermont and Cedar Cove in Portsmouth, RI in the summer. Each property has two units, available for rentals.

We sail out of Bristol, RI throughout the summer on our 38' yawl (charters available!).

Why they chose this property

We lived in Williamstown, Vermont from 1972-1988. When we moved down country, we kept our rental property there. Then, our daughter and her husband bought a house in Duxbury so we did too. Dividing our time between mountains and beach is just about perfect for us!
When we got it, the Lodge needed a complete renovation. We've spent the last three years building bathrooms, tearing down and refinishing thousands of feet of pine boards. They were very dark brown when we moved in. Each board was carefully removed, planed, varnished (with VT whey varnish) and put back up. The house has new windows, insulation, new kitchens, and so on.
We both like doing renovations so it's been a great project for us. And, we love being a half mile from our daughter and her young family!

What makes this property unique

The lodge is out in the country, close to town, with skiing, snowshoeing, and hiking out the back door.

Combine this unit with the Terraces and you have a perfect spot for a family reunion!

Opening our two units to renters has meant a steady stream of very interesting people since we started renting in the summer of 2015.
