Hosts and Services

The Windham Country House hosts, Mary McCoy and Michael Simonds, enjoy their role serving visitors to Vermont.  They live in a separate unit in this house, and you can call on them for whatever you need for a delightful vacation. At the same time, they keep their distance to respect your privacy.  Michael and Mary also offer guests some unique services, including:

Celebrate here with a small and simple ceremony at an affordable price.

Sometimes, getting away isn't enough. Reiki makes complete relaxation possible.

Here's a way to look at your life from a different and helpful perspective.

Michael is a justice of the peace who has performed many marriage ceremonies. He is a carpenter and landscaper, who did all the interior work in the Windham Country House and all the landscaping on the property. Michael is an avid organic gardener, who enjoys sharing his knowledge and the bounty of his gardens. He is a traveler and art collector with some of his collection on display in the house. Michael moved from Boston to Vermont in 1996 to build the Windham Country House, his dream home. He is also the Town of Windham's head lister and zoning administrator.

Mary moved to Vermont in 2003 from Ohio where she was executive director of Community Shares of Greater Cincinnati.  She and Michael married in 2005.  Known to her friends as Mac, she is now a writer and editor.  She is also a Reiki master and a Zen tarot card reader who offers her services for healing and insight to guests and area residents.  Since moving to Vermont, Mary has become a flower gardener under Michael's tutelage. Like Michael, she loves sharing her home with those who come to Vermont for fun and relaxation.
