Very spacious and comfortable home. Shannon responded quickly to questions before the trip, and we never needed to connect with her after that as the house was exactly as described and had everything we needed. I highly recommend this place.

Wonderful Wedding Weekend

Our family stayed for four nights over the weekend of our son's wedding and it was wonderful! Lots of open space inside and out to stretch out and relax as well share together-time. The shaded area of the grounds was wonderful for the firepit at night as well as taking groomsmen photos the day of the wedding (at The Old Gray Barn in Dorset). Great stay!

Great Manchester get away

Our family has been gathering annually in Manchester for over 25 years. This was a great trip in part due to the house and the host. I like to cook and the kitchen is great! The layout is open and inviting and allowed us all to enjoy our time together. We are already planning to stay again!

Our extended family all gathered for a local wedding weekend and this property was perfect. The communication and check-in process with the host was simple and efficient. Lots of spacious areas for morning coffee and relaxing. No one felt like they were on top of everyone else. We will certainly be back for a longer stay when were not so busy and we can enjoy ourselves more.
