About the host

Hosted by Lori Aceto

Host profile image
We’re a couple of lifelong adventurers, married for over 30 years, who love nature, design, great books, and good wine! After raising two wonderful kids and building a successful construction and design business together, we now split our time between homes and chase inspiration wherever it takes us- from bikes, skis, or trails. Hosting gives us the chance to share our love of comfort, connection, and creativity with others.

Why they chose this property

We’ve been escaping to Windham for over 20 years and finally made it our second home. There's something magical about the balance here, small-town charm meets four-season adventure. Whether it's a cozy café on Main Street, skiing fresh powder, or hiking among fall colors, Windham offers beauty and community in every season.

What makes this property unique

The Painted Cow is our passion project! We lovingly restored this 1900s farmhouse nestled on five private acres and surrounded by 450 acres of protected state land. We’ve filled it with art, warmth, and thoughtful touches like a kid-friendly bunk cove, a sprawling country kitchen, and cozy outdoor spaces built for gathering. It’s peaceful, playful, and perfectly suited for making memories year-round.
