A quaint house located in an excellent area near but not directly in downtown Manchester. Perfect for pets and children while offering enough space for adults to relax and enjoy!

Great location! Adorable home!

We stayed here because we were working a wedding at Hildene and the location could not have been more perfect. We didn't spend much time in the home, but for the hours that we did use it to sleep, it was very comfortable and accomodating!

Fall Weekend in picturesque Vermont

My niece and the rest of my New Jersey family descended upon Manchester Vermont for her fall wedding. We rented this quintessential New England cottage and had a lovely time. It not only met but exceeded all of our expectations! Plenty of space inside and out …. very comfy for the four adults who stayed there.

Vermont Summer Festival

We stayed at this cottage during our first visit to the Vermont Summer Festival. It was perfect for our family of 4. The location was close to the horse show and around the corner from town. The creek out front gives the perfect ambiance coupled with the surrounding mountains! The hosts were wonderful to communicate with. We definitely plan on staying here again!

Cozy home

We stayed here while attending a wedding at the Equinox. The location is perfect. It's close to everything but in a quiet neighborhood. The cottage is super clean and well appointed. The beds were very comfortable. The screen porch is lovely and the yard was great.

adorable free standing cottage, well supplied, dog allowed, easy to find and enter. We were close to 4 ski areas so went a different place every day. There was nothing the house didn't have that we needed. We will stay there again.
