The Ladoga

Everything new. Nothing lost.

Built in 1872, the house has stood on its rise above the valley through a century and a half of Vermont winters — barn‑red against the snow, its mansard roof catching the first light of the morning and the last of the day.

Not long ago, we took it all the way back to the studs. Every beam, every wire, every board made new — so that the house feels as though it went up yesterday. And everything we couldn't bear to lose, we kept by hand: the painted murals, the carved stair, the small flourishes a builder left behind in another century.

A marriage of the past and the present — the same old house, with a whole new life ahead of it.

Breakfast is the long part of the morning.

Eggs from the farm, bread from the oven, maple from the trees behind the barn. Out by six for the first skiers, and kept warm on the sideboard until eleven for everyone who would rather wake up slowly.

No rush and no last call — the table is yours for as long as the morning lasts.

Come back four times.

Perkinsville,
Vermont.

Two and a half hours from Boston, forty minutes from Woodstock. The red house on the rise above VT‑106 — you'll know it when you see it.
