This property is located in a secluded, beautiful neighborhood with an easy drive or walk into Manchester. The 3 bedroom split is spacious and absolutely immaculate! Everything was shiny clean....and being a bit of a neat freak that matters to me. There is plenty of cookware, dishes, and a well stocked kitchen. We did have some minor issues. Although it's advertised as keyless entry, you do need a key to enter the front door. We never did figure out how to manage both, (and then my husband brought the key home accidently after never even using it)but the back door just required a keypad. There were plenty of bath towels, but not enough hand towels and no washclothes readily available. The beds just had a fitted sheet and a duvet...no top sheets. We woke up to a freezing cold house with no heat. Eventually the manager was able to help us through all issues, but she was difficult to reach, often going to voice mail. She did respond to texting. Poor thing...we really kept her on her toes, and I hate having to do that. We enjoy coming back from a day and sinking into a comfortable sofa to relax, especially at our age. There is nothing comfortable about the furniture in this house. It looks great but that's about it. BUT, that's just a personal preference. I recommend that directions be included for heat, how to work the stove, and better basic bedding and towel supplies. All and all, you just can't beat Vermont for a fabulous vacation destination! We enjoyed out stay.

Cozy house, Great weekend stay!
Our family of 4- two adults and two kids (8 and 11 yrs)- spent 3 nights here over Pres. Day weekend 2024. We used the house as a home base- driving to Stratton Mountain for skiing every day (30-35 mins). The house was clean, well-equipped and a great place to unwind at the end the day. It's location to Northshire Books (the BEST bookstore), Pasttime Pinball, Shaws (grocery store), several good restaurants/takeout spots and donuts from Willloughby's was perfect. Kayla was an amazing help with the few questions that we had. Would definitely recommend.

Charming house in a perfect location
The house is charming and comfortable; the neighborhood is quiet, especially considering it is right off Main Street! Guests can walk to everything in town, which is really nice. The "welcome" information needs to be more complete. The kitchen and laundry appliances are new and excellent. The selection of pots and pans isn't great if you're going to do a lot of cooking, and there's no tea kettle or easy way to boil water. But lots of ways to make coffee!

A lovely and well maintained, well equipped property.
My wife and I stayed here for just under a week with our 10-month-old son and large dog. The property was perfect size and had everything we needed. High chair was a big plus. Front and backyard are huge and the deck is a nice, added bonus Everything is walking distance. We like to walk so that was a big win for us. Grocery store is a blink away and has everything you could need. This is an excellent place to stay to enjoy Manchester or the surrounding area.

Spacious well-appointed retreat
A mid-century modern charmer in small neighborhood just off the main center. Great walkability to shops & restaurants. Spacious and well-appointed with much of what you'll likely need. Pack-n- play and high chair was a big plus. Loved the yard & the feel of the home. Comfortably and perfectly simple.

Manchester retreat
Awesome property, private and quiet with totally easy access to restaurants, shops and the mountains. The fire pit is good fun! Everything inside is clean and new, beds are comfortable, lots of amenities. We had much more room than we needed but chose this rental because it looked so nice. Two couples with kids would be happy here too.
