Check in was easy and everything in the house was perfect! We didn't really do much cooking but it looked like there would be everything needed to do so. Beds, linens and towels were all very good quality and spotless. We will definitely stay again when in the area!

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was perfect for our Lady's weekend. Location was near restaurants, shops, river, and some really neat houses built in the early 1900's. We fell in love with Manchester and had a blast visiting several local thrift shops. Backbone State Park is also a short trip (15-20 miles) away. We would stay again.

Incredible Host

Sip and Dream was the perfect place to stay for a recent family gathering. Abby was the best host! She gave us lots of great insight on places to eat and shop and was always there to answer our questions. We had a wonderful stay and would absolutely book this VRBO again the next time we stay in Manchester!

Welcoming home in a nice location

The home was very clean and welcoming. We were able to relax and enjoy downtime away from the baseball field at this property which offered plenty of space for five of us. The host was very communicative and offered great suggestions in the area for us to consider in our free time. The check in and check out process went very smooth and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay from booking the home to check out.

So thoughtful and seamless

Everything about this stay was wonderful. The host had thought about everything we could possibly need before we got there, and she even read between the lines when we reached out and offered help we needed before we asked for it. It was clean, easy to navigate, right in the center of town and within walking distance of restaurants, shops, and grocery stores.

Perfect house close to field of dreams

This place was great! The little town was perfect. Nice and quiet but plenty of food options for us. We stayed here while playing in the field of dreams baseball tournament. It was a super easy drive to the ball fields in dyersville. Abby was a ton of help with my booking. She was always quick to respond and help when I had questions. Don’t pass up the food at river bend pub and grill!

About the host

Hosted by Abby Buesing

Host profile image
My name is Abby and I'm married to Steve for over 24 years. Together we have 3 active boys who can often be found on a court, field, mat or gym somewhere and also help us maintain this property as it's a family affair at times! We love to travel and stay in VrBOs that have that personal touch so we have added all our favorites we've enjoyed over the years to this home. I love to help make your stay as awesome as possible, so reach out if need recommendations or have any questions!

Why they chose this property

When this property came up for sale, I was one of the first in line that day, and signed the agreement immediately after the tour! It has that "something special" about it and the charm of early 1900's along with all the modern day amenities. The downtown location, yet on a private corner with it's own driveway, cannot be beat. I fell in love with this home immediately and have set it up in a way so it's pleasant for you and your guests, whether its for a weekend or a month or two!

What makes this property unique

We are so happy to be able to provide this need in Manchester and booking this property is like "pushing the easy button." I can help with recommendations on area must-see and dos and will make your stay cozy, fun and hopefully you find all you need at the tip of your fingertips!
