About the host
Hosted by Jesse Leavitt
I am a non-profit and education field professional currently working as advisor to community service programs at Harvard College, active lifestyle includes biking, climbing, hiking, skiing, and more. I love cooking and eating good food, much thanks to my wife, Annie, who is amazing in the kitchen. We cook while listening to music most nights - from soul to hip hop to indie to house - if we don't get home too late from work. Annie works for Boston Public Schools as an 8th grade counselor and she loves reading, climbing, biking, drawing, walking/running and practicing yoga. We are both involved in social justice activities outside of work, mostly around education and youth issues.
We love to travel and do so as often as our schedule and budget allow, recently to Oregon, Colorado, Montreal, Morocco, Italy, and Guatemala. We plan to stay busy in the summer all around when we're not spending time in VT by the lake. We're focused on quality time with friends almost every weekend, and visit family in Chicago, NY and VT whenever we get the chance. We are always open to new adventures, especially active, outdoors and abroad. My dream is to drive down the west coast of Central and South America, as well as a cross country US trip to see baseball games from coast to coast. Annie hopes to bring me back to South Africa, where she spent time studying the post-apartheid education system, and where we hope to see Tanzania and Congo.

Why they chose this property
This cottage by the lake is a former one-room schoolhouse converted into a cozy home with open kitchen and dining room, space to sit and sleep inside, a sunporch and large deck and yard, all across from the lake! The interior is outfitted with handmade furniture created by my father, and we love to cook so have outfitted the kitchen and grill for some amazing meals! A private dock for the cottage association with just 2 other properties is yours to lounge on and swim off of. We love to retreat here once or twice per year and want to share the relaxation and place to get away.
