Great Stay and location

This place is in great location, close proximity to town and many things to do. The location is remote enough to have privacy. It set close to a creek, so you have a nice white noise of running river in the background. The place is clean and well equipped for stay. It is a typical cabin, with all the necessary amenities and plenty of space for family and friends to stay. The bedrooms are generous in size and comfortable.

Horse show getaway

Lovely location, so close to the horse show and the town of Manchester which has so much to offer. Located on a nice quiet road we enjoyed walking to the river and the hiking after the show, views are amazing. House offers all you need in a home away from home, the back deck has a fantastic view of the river. Very happy, would recommend.

Great Manchester House

My grandchildren, wife and I had a real Vt. vacation at this terrific house with an even better location. Plenty of space but cozy around the fireplace. We know Manchester for over 30 years yet never got to this road so close yet so far! Great view of Battenkill River, tree lined walks and only 5min from downtown. Hope to go again!

Sibling getaway

The house was ideally located for us to have plenty of hiking options within a few miles. Far enough from town to feel like you're out in the woods but close enough to be able to take advantage of what Manchester has to offer. The first floor bedrooms and bath were ideal for the person in our party who has difficulty with stairs. I particularly enjoyed sitting on the back deck and listening to the babbling stream nearby. Very relaxing. This was our second stay at this house.

Manchester - Ski Vacation

Location is great for access to Stratton & Bromley. Still convenient for Killington. Very quick to shipping and restaurants in Manchester. Some of the kitchen appliances were dated or challenging to use (toaster, oven). Kitchen floor very squeaky near the fridge.Showering required one at a time and no washing machine for enough hot water.Sufficient room for having guests for dinner or for gathering.

Amazing house and amazing stay!

Thank you so much, George, for your wonderful hospitality. This house is an absolute gem. My family and I enjoyed our stay, and the spacious 5 bedrooms were the perfect setting for us to host family and friends to join us. The great room is a perfect place to congregate- we watched the Superbowl on the giant screen tv. Second living room with wood fireplace was added bonus- no fighting with the kids over what to watch! Kitchen is perfectly stocked for all you need to make meals for the group. Bedrooms are very comfortable, and the soothing sounds of the Bromley Brook and gorgeous view made for the perfect stay. Can't recommend this place enough for those looking for a great time with a big group.
