About this property

Finbars Forest Retreat

The main level offers an expansive open layout with two bedroom suites (one queen, one full) located off the living area. The space features a living room with panoramic mountain views, a cozy sitting area with smart TV, and a stunning two-sided fireplace. Adjacent to the fireplace is a well-equipped kitchen and dining area, complemented by a kitchen island with additional seating. Step outside onto the screened wrap-around porch for al fresco dining at one of the two tables while enjoying the mountain views. You can also venture out to the open-air deck to take in the breathtaking stars.
The top level floor includes two king bedroom suites with large closets and extra blankets. Also on this level, on the opposite side of the home, you'll find a private twin bedroom with sufficient closet space and a bathroom equipped with a tub/shower.

The lower level features a bunk bedroom that kids adore, along with a spacious king bedroom. A separate bathroom with a shower and laundry facilities are also available on this level. In the main area, you'll find a generous sitting space equipped with a big-screen smart TV, an Xbox, and a foosball table—ideal for relaxation and entertainment. Step outside, relax on the porch while admiring the mountain views. In the summer, enjoy the private 27-foot round saltwater pool, open from early June through Labor Day.

The property offers ample space for outdoor activities, including a gazebo with a large table and chairs, a fire pit for roasting marshmallows, and plenty of room for yard games. Whether you're planning a family reunion or a getaway with friends, our home is ideal for any occasion.

Conveniently located near Manchester restaurants and shopping outlets, and within easy reach of hiking trails, ski resorts such as Bromley, Stratton, Magic Mountain, and Okemo for skiing and outdoor adventures.

Experience the perfect blend of comfort, privacy, and convenience during your stay.

Other Details to Note:
Also, you may notice a hot tub on the property. While we do maintain it regularly, it can occasionally malfunction due to factors beyond our control — which is why it’s not listed as an official amenity. You’re absolutely welcome to use it if it’s working during your stay, but please note that we can’t guarantee it will be hot or functioning properly. It quite literally has a mind of its own — hot one day, cold the next!

We take pride in our home and are dedicated to ensuring it meets the highest cleanliness standards. Our cleaning process includes:
- Sanitizing high-touch surfaces, down to the doorknobs.
- Using natural cleaners and disinfectants.
- Frequently washing duvets, comforters, and blankets.
- Mattress protectors
- Providing extra cleaning supplies for your use during your stay.

In winter, snow tires are highly recommended to navigate the local roads safely.
Your comfort and safety are our top priorities!

We look forward to hosting you! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
