About Thorn Hill

The 10 acre property was purchased in 1986 by founders Rick & Ellen Scherr and Alan & Susan D'Arienzo.  During the summer of 1987 the Scherrs and D'Arienzos cleared the property to make way for the lodge. During their clearing they discovered many
thorn trees and decided to name the hill Thorn Hill.  With the help of many friends and family members, the lot was cleared, and the house was built.  During the winter of 1988, the first skiers rented the house. For many years we have a continuous flow of return renters during the ski season, as well as the summer season when people want to get away and relax.
