Deb’s guidebook for Middlebury and Surrounding Areas
Neighborhoods
If you are familiar with Middlebury and know where McDonalds and Hannaford are, then you are in the vicinity of my home. My home is behind the shopping plaza. I live in a very quiet neighborhood on a one way private road. The speed limit is 15 mph. The directions will be shared with confirmed guests. Unfortunately, Google maps isn’t accurate about where my home is located. Once you are on my street, you have to drive around to the other side of the street to reach my home.
The local bus route picks up at the end of my street which is 3 houses from the corner. My home is very close to McDonalds, Hannaford, TJMaxx & Olympia Sports. Downtown Middlebury and the College are about 1-2 miles from my home and within walking distance. Skiing, snowboarding, hiking, fishing, & water sports are a short distance from Middlebury. Otter Creek, Lake Dunmore and Lake Champlain are nearby. Shopping is within walking distance. My home is divided into 2 sections: a street level and a finished walk-out basement. All the residents are very friendly. We are either retired with pets or we are young families with children.
