Family Stay for. Weekend Wedding

Mountain Nest was an extraordinary spot for a weekend stay in Vermont! The house was so comfortable and cozy with plenty of space to lounge and enjoy meals. What spectacular fall foliage in the mountains and all around from the wraparound deck- and the hot tub was a delight. Wish we could have stayed longer and hope to come back again!

Fantastic Rental

One of the nicest VRBO’s we have ever rented. Beautiful view off the back deck overlooking the mountains. Extremely comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen and a quick ride over to Manchester for shopping and many dinner options. The owners were great and thought of everything, great place to stay with our 2 small dogs and teenaged daughter.

Lovely spot

We had a wonderful stay at the Mountain Nest near Manchester. Comfortable and clean, the house was just what we wanted. We were at a wedding just 10 minutes away at the Hildene so it was very convenient for us. A great view of the mountains plus a hot tub. We could not have asked for more.

“Mountain View Nest”

This house delivered everything that was promised in the VRBO listing. The four of us never felt cramped, there was enough room for all to enjoy our mini-vacation in the Green Mountains. We spent most of our waking hours on the deck overlooking the Mountain View.

Beautiful Mount Equinox Home

Home was lovely for our family! Perfect for grandparents, parents and 2 little girls. Great entry way/mud room to come in after skiing, comfortable living room and loft space and good setup to spread out a bit. Bedrooms were clean and comfortable and nicely set up and bathrooms had everything we needed- even shampoo and conditioner in the showers. Home is about 35 minutes from Stratton Mountain and 10 from Manchester center. Lots of great restaurants locally.

Charming And So Comfortable!

We stayed for an extended weekend celebrating a wedding in Dorset. The home was spotless, fresh, perfectly set up for enjoying our time together. We were six adults and all felt it was "the best Vrbo rental ever". The house is tastefully decorated and well equipped to create a MountainHome feel. Everything was fresh and new, very clean and nice. ALL beds were comfortable for adults, bathrooms were spotless and modern. Super value for superb accommodations. The views are spectacular. We all enjoyed the hot tub in the evenings. Easy car ride to Manchester and Dorset for shopping, restaurants and church. Highly recommend!

A gem

This property is just as beautiful in person as in the photos. Alex and Hope are fantastic. We will definitely be back. The property does experience intermittent power outages during storms. This happened during our stay, but power was never out for more than 15min at a time. Flashlight/lantern are available for use though

Million dollar views…

We were looking for a quick getaway to Vermont and this gorgeous home was perfect! The views are every bit as spectacular as the photos. The home is clean and modern with stunning views of the mountains from the kitchen, living room, and back deck. The living room is large and comfortable for gathering. The adjoining kitchen is clean, modern, and has everything you need to cook a meal or just prepare a quick snack. There are dishes and cooking supplies available, which made meal prep a breeze. There was plenty of space for us to gather at the large dining area table for meals and to play games. The bathrooms are modern and comfortably appointed.There is a large grassy area out back to roam around in or toss a football. The home is conveniently located only a few minutes from Manchester, so there is plenty available in terms of shopping and dining. We had great pizza and Tex Mex right in town. We also drove through many of the nearby quaint villages, and had plenty of dining and shopping options. If you are looking for a perfect getaway to the Vermont mountains with fresh air and gorgeous views with shopping and dining within minutes, do not hesitate. We are already planning on our next visit!

This home was one of the most spectacular that I have rented. We were sorry to not have stayed longer! The view from this home was awe inspiring! We enjoyed the hot tub and well appointed deck to soak in this panoramic view of the forested mountain side. If you had kids along there even was a grassy lawn below the deck. This home was beautifully decorated and so comfortable. The bedrooms and bathrooms were all decorator perfect! The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans and dishes. I appreciated the showers being equipped with hotel like shampoo, conditioner and shower gel dispensers. Truly this home hits all the marks for perfection. We would love to stay there again!

The house was perfect for our holiday — comfortable and roomy with a gorgeous, peaceful view of the Green Mountains. Great deck with a BBQ and an outdoor eating setup. The kitchen was well-stocked and the bedrooms were very nice. We appreciated the guidance in the visitor notebook about places to hike and god local restaurants. Alex was timely and helpful with our very few questions. I hope that we can return!
