About Francine or Eric
We are Eric and Francine Chittenden, and we each grew up in Vermont. Eric is an ancestor of Vermont's 1st Governor, Thomas Chittenden. Francine was born in Quebec, and thus her 1st language is French. We both grew up on dairy farms. We got married in 1973, and founded the Cold Hollow Cider Mill in 1974, which rapidly evolved into one of Vermont's premier 'must-see' attractions. In 1980 we created Governor Tom's restaurant, an immensely popular eatery for 8 years. We sold the cider mill in 2000 to Paul & Gail Brown so that we could fulfill our growing 'bucket lists.' The mill continues to be very successful.
Currently Eric holds a license to sail as Captain on the largest ships in the world, and works primarily on the Hawaiian run as a deck officer. Francine is Director of Human Resources for the Vermont Foodbank.
Francine or Eric purchased this estate in 2000

Wonderful vacation in beautiful Vermont
My family of 12, 8 adults and 4 children just spent a terrific time in this beautiful house on a wonderful piece of property. The children loved running and playing on the huge lawn and playing on their playground. Great for 5 to 2 year olds. The lake was refreshing and fun to canoe and swim. The stores and restaurants were very convenient.
The owners were on site which was a wonderful thing. Each night Eric, the owner would have a fire ready in the fire pit for us. Each morning he checked and added chemicals to the hot tub, that we enjoyed each evening. Eric even gave us all a toast with his delicious home made hard cider on our last day. Wonderful people, Eric and Francine !
The first morning we were surprised to see a magnificent black bear cross the far corner of the property. The trails around the property were fun to hike. One of our older sons spent 2 nights in one of their secluded cabins by the lake. Eric left him 2 bottles of wine there .
Great time.......wonderful owners.
Francine and Eric are gracious hosts!!
We stayed for 5 nights and enjoyed every second of are time. The boys had a Lax tourney Saturday and Sunday. They spent the rest of the time on the water fishing and canoeing!
Thanks again for a wonderful weekend!
Amazing!
Eric and Francine were accommodating, kind, and all around awesome people. We would have had no idea that other people lived in the house, except any time we needed help or had questions they were there within a few minutes. Their home and property are breath taking and the home made cider could make millions!!! Thank you so much for a great weekend!
Great house!
We had a wonderful time, 6 couples with no kids for a getaway weekend! Between the hot tub and all the sledding we did in the backyard we had such a great time!!! Thanks Francine, she was easy to work with and we didn't even know she was next door!!
This was our second time here and I guess this expalins how much we loved it!
Great home, very clean! It has everything you may need even a pool table, a hot tub and a sauna. Only 15-20 minutes away from ski resort. We definitely want to go there again!
December 2016 stay at Waterbury Center: Major Country Estate Home
Our stay at Francine & Eric's home in Waterbury Center ranks among the best VRBO experiences we have had. The premises were perfect for our group of 8 (we could easily have had 2-3 more). Plenty of cooking and eating space; pool table and hot tub; large grill for our steaks; comfortable temperature; numerous beds and bathrooms. Also, Francine was available at a moment's notice if we had any questions and was up at dawn shoveling the pathways to give us access to our vehicles. The location was perfect for skiing/boarding at Sugarbush our first day and Stowe our second day.
Location
Lots of hiking trails; x-country skiing; snowshoeing; property abuts to 1000s of acres of State Forest Lands. Private beach and picnic area on the Waterbury Reservoir. In the winter, there are numerous x-country ski trails, snowshoe trails, and a short distance away, easy access to the VAST trails. We are just 6.5 miles from Stowe Village; 15 miles from the Sugarbush Ski area; 15 miles from Bolton Ski area. Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream Factory is just 3 miles from us. We are conveniently located near exit 10 off of Interstate 89.
Other Activities: canoeing and swimming
