We, Debbie and John Bailey, along with our three sons Marshall, Nick and Owen (and Sydney, the inevitable dog) purchased The Austin Hill Inn in December of 1997.

Prior to moving to Vermont we lived in Barrington, NH and worked for a company in Portsmouth that provided software and services to the hospitality industry. The hospitality industry has been our career choice from day one of our respective professional lives. Debbie, growing up on Cape Cod (when her father wasn't stationed somewhere exotic like Guam) , worked the usual assortment of entry-level jobs available in a resort environment specializing in waitressing. John, growing up on Lake Winnepesaukee in NH (when his father wasn't stationed somewhere exotic like Laos), also worked the resort scene as dishwasher cum laude.

We met while working at The Ritz-Carlton, Boston where Debbie worked as the Director of Conference Services and John worked in various management positions ranging from Manager-On-Duty at the Front Desk to Reservations Manager to Credit Manager.

We decided a few years back we needed something more fulfilling in life than the hustle and bustle of the corporate world so we turned our energy towards  a goal that would allow us to make and shape our own destiny. Of course,  it only seemed natural that we would end up as proprietors of a bed and breakfast.  Not to mention, we really wanted to spend more time with our children which is the case with most families in the '90's 

We bring with us a love for comfort and relaxation.  We also enjoy year round sports.  Pull up a chair and talk with Debbie about her Outward Bound trip in '96 or with John and his canoe trip down the Allagash in Maine.

Our goal is to provide a warm, clean and caring environment in which you, our welcomed guests, are able to relax and rejuvenate. We will do our utmost in making you feel more comfortable than if you were in your own home. If, at any time prior to, during or after your stay with us there is anything that we can do, please do not hesitate to ask. We look forward to helping you make the most of your respite while staying at The Austin Hill Inn.
