About the host
Hosted by Lisa Mirman
We spend our time between Middlebury and Sarasota. The Middlebury Cottage is our cherished family home where we can all soak up the wonders of the Vermont farm food culture, readily access the spectacular Green Mountain hiking and ski trails, and relish in the vibrancy of Middlebury College and the picturesque Main Street decorated by Otter Creek Falls.
Our connection to the area goes back to the 70s when Lee attended summer camp on Lake Dunmore, and has grown exponentially since Lisa and Lee married in Vermont, and then both of their children attended Songadeewin and Keewaydin as well.
