Kyle,
Thank you for staying at the Dorset house. I am glad you enjoyed the season there with your friends. You were easy to communicate with and you left the house in great condition. Please consider booking with us in the future as well. - John
This house is a true gem. It’s not huge but perfect for up to 6 adults looking for a home base. You are only 15min to Bromley, 30min to Stratton, and 5min to the center of Manchester. The house was also very clean on our arrival. Definitely recommend!
Perfect family & friends Vermont vacation/ski house
8 minutes from the Center of Manchester, VT on RT 30 and near ski resorts. This is a five star house, beautiful kitchen very well equipped. Two fireplaces, six new beds, very clean and comfortable. Easy and accurate communication with the Host. Gorgeous property and near walking trails. I would reserve this house again with no hesitation.
