Birding has become increasingly popular over the years and we at Ten Acres Lodge are happy to promote it. Stowe VT is a great place for birding and suprisingly good even in the winter months. This video serves 2 purposes. One, to show our love of birds both outside and the ones we have inside. My father was an award winning carver who brought birds to life in his carvings and we are proud to showcase them in the Main Lodge. And two, well my Dad was very special to me and this week marks the three year anniversary of his passing. As a tribute to him, I share this video with you.
If you find yourself in the Stowe area, we hope you come to stay with us but I would also be pleased if you stopped by to the carvings. I am proud to show them off.
During each of the last three summers, we have been delighted to support the J-1 Visa program that allows students from overseas to come work in the US for 3-4 months. This summer has been no different as we have welcomed to the Ten Acres family Diana Sanchis from Spain. Diana has been a terrific addition to our team and she has benefited from the opportunity as well. We like to show these students the America they don’t see on the news or in films and give them a flavor of America and of its culture and people. And our guests enjoy meeting then and hearing their stories. Diana has embraced this experience as you’ll see in this video I helped her put together for a contest. When you come to stay with us (if before Oct.14 when she leaves, be sure to meet Diana and get to know her. She’s a real gem.
Video has always been a hobby of mine. I started editing videos for myself and our family vacations which covered Europe, Asia and Australia. Now that we live in Stowe VT, it’s only fitting that I begin to use video to tell our story here. Stowe is a terrific place to spend a holiday and for a ski town, we don’t even need snow to have fun! The video will show you why. I plan on adding videos at least once a month to keep you up to date on what is happening in Stowe, and of course, to keep you in the loop for all the scoops at Ten Acres Lodge. Let me know what you think of our first video posting!
We were honored to have been mentioned recently in an article in the boston examiner about great places to take your kids. You can find it here http://www.examiner.com/x-18652-Boston-Bed–Breakfast-Examiner~y2009m8d1-Kidcations–Who-says-you-cant-take-the-kids-to-a-BB
We’ve tried to be all things to all people meaning, couples and families can find their place here at Ten Acres Lodge. For families, we have so many things during the summer that can be done without leaving the property. Swimming pool, horseshoes, private cinema, tennis court and more. And Stowe offers so much in its own right. The summer is almost gone so give yourself and those you love a break and enjoy the last days of warm days and cool nights.
We also have some great deals to celebrate our 5th anniversary of owning Ten Acres. Some rooms have special rates attached to them so give us a call to find out.
If you’re part of the foliage crowd, be sure to book rooms early as it is the highest demand period in VT. I’m predicting a spectacular fall colors season with the summer weather we had so I hope you can make it up and see for yourself why people from all over the world come to visit VT.
Safe travels!
