A Curated Home-Hospitality Experience
Enjoy a personalized, energizing, and restorative 2-night stay in picturesque Vermont, crafted just for you! Whether you're an individual, couple, family, or group of friends, this unique experience offers a blend of natural beauty, comfort, and local charm.
Your hosts, Sherry Pachman and Matthew Witten, are long-time Mission: Cure supporters and well-connected members of the Starksboro and Huntington, Vermont communities. Their cozy, hand-built home sits in an idyllic rural setting on a scenic dirt road, surrounded by the tranquil beauty of Addison County-home to many local maple sugaring operations.
Relax with easy access to nature trails, pristine waters, and starry nights, or roll up your sleeves and experience the fun and satisfaction of stacking wood, gardening, or participating in a community work party.
Highlights of Your Stay:
Accommodations: Stay in a charming house, rustic cabin, or summer camping in a timber-frame breezeway. Indoor plumbing or an authentic double-seater outhouse-your choice!
Nourishment of body and soul: Enjoy tea, coffee, and breakfast, and savor a hearty meal prepared with your hosts, featuring locally grown and raised ingredients. Share a meal with the Soul Feast Farm Collective community, or simply relax and enjoy a home-cooked meal tailored to your dietary needs.
Activities (Season-Dependent):
- Scenic walks, hikes, or bike rides through Green Mountain or Adirondack trails
- Skiing, skating, sledding, boating, or pond swimming
- Farm tours, berry picking, cider pressing, and local craft events
- Maple sugaring, tortilla making, or community potluck
- Campfires, stargazing, and visits to local breweries, vineyards, or farmer's markets
Added Perks:
Your hosts will help you create a unique, off-the-beaten path "Vercation!"
- All linens provided
- Wifi (no TV)
- Campfire circle, picnic area, piano, and secret local swimming holes.
Convenient Location:
Located just 30-45 minutes from Burlington, Middlebury, and the Mad River Glen ski area and 10 minutes from Green Mountain trailheads.
Contact Sherry to arrange your one-of-a-kind Vermont immersion! Experience Vermont hospitality, community, and nature at its finest!
Important Note: The number of guests beyond two may vary depending on the season, as it is influenced by outdoor temperatures and conditions, with limited indoor sleeping arrangements. Please be aware that the cabin offers a rustic, lived-in, and meditative experience and is not an AirBnb or luxury hotel. We kindly ask you to consider these factors before making your reservation.
You and your hosts will coordinate to select a mutually convenient date. Once the date is set, Mission: Cure recommends that the winner book refundable flights in case of any unforeseen emergencies.
