Be Your Own Hero
Lori Steere, Butter Hill Hideaway
Today I'm thrilled to introduce you to my other-end-of-Notch neighbor, Lori Steere of the Butter Hill Hideaway.
Lori first came onto my radar when I saw a few posts she did on Instagram, talking about how she kind of impulsively bought a property in the middle of nowhere because of some indescribable connection she felt when she saw it.
I have a bit of a history of impulsively dumb real estate purchases myself, so I was hooked, and kept following along as she started fixing the place up for rentals, and later started adding tent sites and making the property into a woodsy wonderland.
I finally ambushed Lori for an interview last month - I’d started messaging with her, and invited her to stop by when she was heading through Evans Notch on the way back from helping out a friend. She was a little caught off guard when, all of a sudden, I was trying to mic up someone (her) I had barely just met, but she was a super good sport and rolled with it.
Over the last few years, Lori has turned her acres of overgrown hillside farmland into a cozy homestead for her family, and a peaceful, amenity-filled camping experience for complete strangers. But like all good Guides Gone Wild stories, there were a few twists, turns, broken bones and electrical fires along the way….
I think if I keep doing this podcast for much longer, I’m never going to want to spend a weekend at home ever again - even though it’s getting mighty frosty in the mornings around here, I am DYING to get up to Butter Hill to spend a weekend hiding out in Lori’s super-cool tent village. If you are too, be sure to follow Butter Hill Hideaway on Instagram and Facebook, and get your getaway booked asap!
