Description
About the current owners
Stacie was looking for something to do with her time since all of her kids had left their home to attend college. She was used to preparing portions at meals that would have fed the Vermont National Guard. With just Stephen to take care of she needed to take care of others. That resulted in a search to find a Bed and Breakfast which would allow Stacie to use her magnificent culinary talents to the benefit of others. Stacie is very used to the concept of taking care of others having worked in the service industry for 22 years prior to the purchase of this beautiful house.
Stephen and Stacie were married in October and every year for their anniversary they spent time at someone else's Bed and Breakfast. It had been a dream they had planned for at least the last 10 years that they would find themselves in a position to own their own Bed and Breakfast. With the children having left the home it was now time to start a new chapter in their lives. From the time of first thinking about finding a Bed and Breakfast to the actual closing was a mere 4 months, this was truly meant to be.
About the house
The Crystal Palace is in Addison County and registered with the Vermont State Register of Historic Places. This lovely old mansion owned by Stacie and Stephen has been restored to its original splendor of white and red cherry, butternut, ash, and quarter oak, finished to a grand sheen by the owners. The house is located conveniently two blocks north of the traffic light at the village green. A lovely piazza which gracefully wraps around the southern and western façade of the house is furnished with wicker and beckons guests to come and sit awhile at this very special place.
