Peaceful getaway

We really enjoyed the Inkeepers cottage, it was clean and spacious and we loved the view. The grounds are interesting to walk with all the sculptures and my daughter loved the lawn games and pool. We would definitely stay here again.

very enjoyable, good host

had a great time. super-responsive and courteous host. property was in good shape, particularly given the challenging period with the virus. some local businesses seemed under heavy strain, particularly restaurants, so recommend being prepared to self-sustain in terms of food, particularly if you have young kids, which this property's amenities accommodate well. Only ding is that the the unit does not have a burn pit, which in covid-land takes on greater importance.

Cozy, Charming, Comfortable Home Away from Home

We spent five summer weeks this year (2013) and four weeks in '12 at this house on the property of the Wilburton Inn. We keep coming back for a number of reasons: The house is so comfortable as to provide a real "home away from home". The location is fantastic, just minutes away from all Manchester and Dorset have to offer. And most of all the Levis family's warm hospitality and attentiveness make this house rental a very special treat! The Wilburton has larger homes and lovely rooms at the Inn, as well as this specific house.
Response from VrboOwner on 20 Nov 2020
It was such a pleasure to have you stay with us this summer. We loved watching your husband enjoy his daily bike rides - and it was so wonderful that you joined us for weekly Farm Nights and my sister's musical debut in Dorset! Enjoy NYC and we look forward to seeing you again next summer! Melissa, Albert, Georgette, and the Levis family

Stay at Ortlieb House

This is a wonderful place to rent. We stayed for four weeks over the summer. Not only is the house spacious and comfortable, but the fact that it is on the grounds of the Wilburton Inn make it very special. The innkeepers were committed to making our stay as wonderful an experience as possible. They truly catered to our every need. The best part is that the house faces the mountain, so you feel as if you are secluded, but the village of Manchester is about a 2 minute drive and offers the outlet shops as well as specialty stores, weekly green markets, an assortment of restaurants, concerts, theater, etc. The pictures are quite accurate and show how well maintained the house is. My husband and I heartily recommend this property!
