Annual family summer long weekend

We love Manchester VT and try to find a location within walking distance to the center. This home was a gem. Perfect location- very comfortable, clean, well maintained home with great amenities. Beautiful patio to enjoy late afternoon and morning coffee.It’s quiet because it’s off the main road yet close to many things. It does get buggy late afternoon into evening so have bug spray which the home did have. Spacious rooms and quite comfortable. Many of us had the best nights sleep.Well equipped kitchen for cooking. We plan to come back! Thank you

Great house, great location!

This house exceeded our expectations! The location is close to Manchester town and a quick drive to the mountains. The house is clean and more spacious than the pictures elude to! En-suite bathrooms are large, there’s plenty of closet space and the bedrooms are meticulously made up. There are plenty of extra pillows and blankets. We really enjoyed our stay and can’t wait to do it again!

About the host

Hosted by Katie Volz

Host profile image
We are a family of five from Connecticut (with roots in NY and the Midwest :). We began coming to Manchester with our children about 10 years ago and realized we wanted to become more a part of the town and create memories with family and friends for years to come. We established this home with the intention of being able to come up as often as our children's activities would allow. We’ve recently moved to the West Coast so while we are unable to spend as much time there as we’d like, we feel very blessed that others are enjoying the home and making it part of their own family’s memories.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this home after falling in love with its location, amenities, and ability to accommodate large groups while still maintaining a comfortable and cozy feel. We have enjoyed decorating it and making nice-to-have improvements, while appreciating the quality construction of this home. What sold us was the in-town location, but the home itself was exactly what we were looking for - a feeling of being "away from it all" but close enough to walk to all of Manchester's many restaurants and shops, and with mountain views! This home in particular appealed to us because of the en-suite bedrooms; we knew that we wanted families and groups alike to stay here and enjoy each other, but we wanted everyone to have their own space when they just need some quiet time. With every bedroom having its own bathroom, along with recreational space on every floor, it was perfect for us, and hopefully your family as well!
