About this property
Crossett Hill Lodge: Loft
Conveniently located just off route 100 between Stowe, Sugarbush, and Mad River Glen in a pristine forest setting, the Lodge consists of two separate units, the Loft and the Terraces. This is a perfect place for a family reunion. Five miles from the Heady Topper brewery and Ben & Jerry’s factory, and three miles from Amtrak and Interstate 89, the Lodge is easy to get to and easy to visit. The Lodge is on a well-maintained gravel road, with no other houses in sight.
You can rent both the Loft and the Terraces units together at a discount.
Come enjoy Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall at Crossett Hill Lodge.

About the host
Hosted by Jim Lengel
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.
