Dan and Penny give back to the community serving on the Okemo Valley Regional Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors and Marketing Committee. They have been featured in magazines such as Yankee and New England Traveler. They started an Inn to Inn walking tour demonstrating that they live by the principles of working together with other businesses and other inn keepers in the community. They are true leaders. They mentor and develop their staff, and are always coming up with new ways to provide a remarkable experience for their guests. Gracious, witty funny, and kind—if you haven’t met them, take one look at their 5 star rating on Trip Advisor and you will realize that among all the Inns in Vermont, Dan & Penny deserve to be Inn Keepers of the year!
