Kristin & Mark

Welcome to Glass House Sanctuary. We are Kristin and Mark, longtime Stowe residents who have called this remarkable mountain community home for over 25 years. Here, we’ve had the joy of raising our three daughters — surrounded by nature, adventure, and a deeply connected small-town spirit. As passionate outdoor enthusiasts, our lives revolve around skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking, hiking, and exploring new places together as a family, with frequent time spent in Europe and Costa Rica.

The Glass House Sanctuary is truly a passion project for us — a vision we talked about and designed in our minds for several years before bringing it to life. Creating a place that reflects the calm, beauty, and restorative energy we value so deeply has been a meaningful journey, and we feel grateful to now share it with others.

We love Stowe for its rare blend of pristine natural beauty, a vibrant local food and arts scene, and the warmth of a tight-knit community where neighbors genuinely look out for one another. It’s easy access to major cultural cities like Boston, New York City, and Montreal offers the perfect balance of peaceful retreat and worldly connection. We hope your time here feels restorative, inspiring, and that you enjoy this sanctuary as much as we have enjoyed creating it.
