Waterbury, VT

Recently, my son returned from college in North Carolina to "pitch in" and help his fellow Vermonters by volunteering to assist those in need and in distress in any way possible. He and I showed up at an anonymous homeowners house in Waterbury VT I'd been helping previously and she led us to a Serbian family across the street from her. There we were essentially gutting the inside of their home to redo everything destroyed by the rising waters from the Winooski River. Hammers, crowbars, dust and debris. Everything all busted up. Clothing. Toys. Carpets. Photos & keepsakes. What a scene!

Displaced. Stressed. And deeply appreciative that we were there with the only intention being to help and be of service. These folks were so humbled and touched by our "showing up". As were we...

I have been volunteering at the American Red Cross Shelter in Barre Vermont when it was open and secured a local baker in Burlington to donate loaves of his delicious fresh breads to bring with me whenever I went to Waterbury and Barre so I wouldn't arrive empty handed. When I handed out the bread to random people, I remember one woman hugging me and sobbing in gratitude.

If you are considering buying a home or condominium in or near Burlington Vermont Real Estate, please give me a call on my direct line at 802.238.5256 or email me to discuss representing you, our current market conditions and your needs/wants in a new home and community. I would be delighted to assist you.

Armed with solid numbers, Vermont Real Estate buyers and sellers alike can manage their expectations and the current realities of our local Vermont market.

Hen Of The Wood Restaurant - Arguably The Best Dining Experience in VT - A Must for any area visitor...or local!”

Over the last 5 years we have dined at Hen of the Woods dozens of times. We've never had less than a "5-star" experience from food quality, presentation and flavor, to service, to wine and cheese selection. Beyond the amazing menu and service staff, Chef Eric Warnstedt and his team have managed to bring together a unique venue, warm and inviting atmosphere AND fresh local foods that define what eating "VT Fresh" is all about.

As owners of Stowe Meadows Lodge, our guests rely on our dining recommendations to help turn a vacation trip to the Stowe VT area into a memorable travel experience. Whether celebrating an anniversary, birthday or just looking for an amazing dining experience, we highly recommend Hen of the Woods to every guest. EVERY SINGLE guest we've sent to Hen of the Wood has raved about their experience. What's even better, we can confidently recommend Hen of the Wood to our Gluten-Free guests, vegetarians, vegans, etc.

We are so confident that our guests should consider Hen of the Wood, we now include the restaurant's contact information on each lodging reservation confirmation. These days, it is necessary to book reservations 2-3 weeks in advance for a weekend table....and at least a week in advance for a mid-week reservation. We never want our guests to be disappointed that they tried to book "last minute" for this amazing dining spot....so we try to help guests plan in advance. Hen of the Wood is truly THAT amazing.

For visitors to the Stowe VT area or "locals" who may not have tried Hen of the Wood, pick up the phone now and book your reservation, you'll be so glad that you did! Stowe Meadows Lodge gives Hen of the Wood our highest recommendation, backed by hundreds of guest comments and our own experience! Cheers!
