HOST

Owner of High Meadow, a beautiful nature retreat in the national forest area. Details: I am an educated and well world traveled person who has lived abroad over the years in different countries. My interests are related to environmentalism, wholesome healthy organic living, culinary arts, wildlife, pets, art ,building, organic gardening and music. I have a lovely "farmette" in a mountain meadow with forested land as well, overlooking a 20 acre pond with an island and a mountain right in the middle of the green mountain national forest area in Goshen VT USA. This is a WiFi free/ chemical free sanctuary with no EMF emissions from cell towers, smart meters and cell phones. It is a great place to be for microwave sensitive folks and chemical sensitivity. I have resident free range chickens and a 4 pound Russian Toy Terrier. If you have quiet pets, they have to be friendly towards other animals or be restrained while on the property I would need to know who high your rig is due to some trees. My hosting location has so many wonderful attractions nearby, such as micro breweries and vineyards, a huge reservoir to swim or kayak in right down my road and I am practically right on the Catamount trail and near the long trail. Hogback mountain has a wild blueberry picking area with a majestic view of the green mountains. Silver Lake State park has a beautiful white sandy beach and a huge pristine swimming and fishing lake with access right from my area. There are many large streams for fishing right here as well. Lake Dunmore and Branbury beach state park is just 15-20 minutes away and they have a sani dump station for Rvs for your black water tank for a fee. Aside from the pre ordered simple to elaborate meals I can provide, there is Café Province just 15 minutes away in Brandon, other restaurants, galleries and a French bakery. I also offer a collection of over 300 movies to choose from which you can watch on a huge screen.

Skills or Expertise to Share: I am a ESL language specialist and a trained chef and ran my place as a whole foods B&B nature retreat for many years. I like to fix design and build things, and invent new culinary delights. I also study animal behavior and intelligence. When I am not doing my environmental activities I love to do artwork and simply be in nature walking, talking to animals, swimming or growing food. I have some " fix it" and technical skills. If you would like a simple or a 5 course gourmet meal, let me know in advance!! I will cater to your culinary desires! I also have fresh organic eggs for sale and sometimes my organic vegetables right from the garden. If you want to see movies I have a huge collection and a 75" TV. Utilities in Vermont are very high, so I ask $6.00 per night if you need to use electricity and $2.00 more if a water hookup is desired. If you need electricity, I have some cord and extra hose for water but would prefer if you have your own if possible. I am not able to accommodate 30 amp hookup. (I learned the hard way recently) and had to have an electrician fix the burnt out wall sockets.
