We had an incredible stay at this house! The location couldn’t be better—just minutes from the slopes and walkable to shops and restaurants. The house was spotless, cozy, and thoughtfully set up for a getaway, with plenty of space to relax.The beds were super comfortable, and the living area was perfect for warming up, hanging out, and making memories. The kitchen was fully stocked, which made cooking easy and convenient. Everything was exactly as described (if not better), and the host was friendly, responsive, and helpful throughout our stay.This place truly felt like a home away from home, and we would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a comfortable, convenient, and memorable vacation!

Great house. Great location.

Wonderful spacious home in the ideal location for all shopping and dining. Hosts are always prompt to respond to questions. Loved this house and we especially enjoyed the lush grass and the two living rooms along with the large dining table.

Holiday Get Away

For our first time to Bromley for skiing this was the perfect house. The location is great if you want to get out of the house without having to drive. The house was exactly how the pictures showed it. They were very responsive to all my emails. Would definitely stay here again if we return to ski.

Large 7 bedroom house with wrap around porch 1 block from village of Manchester and a very close to big town park. The house is 100 years old but has been fully renovated with terrific central air and high end modern appliances. Very comfortable and well equipped. The hosts are very responsive. Every thing worked beautifully. Highly recommend!

Wonderful Stay

This lovely home provided the perfect location for a family Christmas vacation. The home is large, very clean, beautifully decorated and has a top of the line well-equipped kitchen. We enjoyed meals and board games at the farmhouse table, frequented the local downhill and XC ski slopes, and walked downtown everyday for shopping and the local cafes. We also loved the nearby park. The owners are very invested in ensuring a seamless stay. Our plan is to return next year.

About the host

Host profile image
We are a family that has multiple premium vacation rentals. We are super hosts and take pride in providing each guest with a 5 star stay.

Why they chose this property

This School Bonnet House has only had two previous owners. Built in 1893, it is an immaculately preserved Victoria home located in the center of Manchester on Bonnet Street. A 1 one minute walk to the coffee shops, restaurants and stores. It's not unusual to book a home in Manchester and find out the AC is supplied by noisy window units. We have recently installed a new central heat and AC system with four different zones for your convenience.

What makes this property unique

Step out your door and walk to the restaurants and shops. Every corner of this home has been decorated carefully and is Instagram-worthy. You will not find a more convenient location to all the shops and restaurants downtown.
