Wish all rentals were this great!The house is charming, neat, soulful, nicely decorated and the kitchen is incredibly well stocked with everything a chef could want. This feels like a person's home, not an impersonal rental. The owner was super responsive when we had a few questions. Would stay here again anytime.

We loved staying at this charming cottage in the heart of Dorset — it was exactly as described and easily walkable to the Dorset Green, with lovely local shops and spots nearby. Nicole was an incredible host, especially during a snowstorm, clearly communicating with us without being overbearing. Highly recommend!

Perfect Retreat

We stayed for a lovely week over Christmas. The house is the best equipped rental I have ever stayed in - tons of little details (from spices to laundry soap to dog treats) and provisions to feel right at home. The fireplace provided a perfect place to warm up after a day on the slopes and the beds were super comfy. We can’t wait to go back!

Amazing stay!

We came to stay at Nicole’s for a family wedding nearby and absolutely loved it. The house is so cute, situated on a quiet and picturesque street, and was a perfectly cozy for a fall getaway. Our dog loved running around the expansive field in the back that backs up to a mountain that was popping with fall colors. The house provided the calm we needed for dealing with a chaotic family weekend!

My husband, labradoodle, and I stayed for 4 nights and loved the cottage. Nicole was super helpful, though not intrusive, and made us feel very, very welcome. I am occasionally in the Manchester VT area for work and would stay there again in a heartbeat!

Excellent stay! The place was perfect for our needs, very comfortable, well stocked, and everything worked. The host was responsive and helpful. Our kids loved it too. We would definitely stay here again when visiting friends in the area or for future ski trips. (If there is a rating for a skiing experience on this review, it is fake. We did not ski. Vrbo is forcing me to rate the "skiing" in order to complete the review.)
