We absolutely loved our stay at this house. It’s stunning, comfortable and in the perfect spot to walk into town to shops and restaurants. The house has beautiful views of the mountains and a nice yard to sit outside. Our host, Katie was responsive and ready to please. It was a perfect house for our college girls reunion! Lots of beds and bathrooms and a nice kitchen for cooking and eating in.

This house exceeded our expectations! The amount of space in the house, the layout with the open floor plan between kitchen dining and living room along with the parking and outdoor space/large table was all fabulous. We loved how close it is to town. We took a walk during the day down to the shops and another in the evening along the marble sidewalks up to the Equinox Hotel. The area is beautiful. The host was great and check in and out was a breeze.

Everything was outstanding. The host was warm and welcoming, and check-in and check-out were very organized and easy. The house was beautiful, spacious, attractively furnished and extraordinarily well-equipped with a fabulous kitchen. The location is also terrific--the house is in a private country-like setting but is within 2 minutes of the center of Manchester.

This is the second time we stayed in this beautiful home! It’s perfect for our family (adult children and grandchildren)! It’s such a convenient location, a quick walk the grocery store and many other shops. The house comes with everything you can think of and the kitchen is fully stocked. In the evenings, we enjoyed hanging out in the basement, playing ping pong, basketball and corn hole. We will be back again!

About the host

Hosted by Katie Volz

Host profile image

We are a family of five from Connecticut (with roots in NY and the Midwest :). We began coming to Manchester with our children about 10 years ago and realized we wanted to become more a part of the town and create memories with family and friends for years to come. We established this home with the intention of being able to come up as often as our children's activities would allow. We’ve recently moved to the West Coast so while we are unable to spend as much time there as we’d like, we feel very blessed that others are enjoying the home and making it part of their own family’s memories.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this home after falling in love with its location, amenities, and ability to accommodate large groups while still maintaining a comfortable and cozy feel. We have enjoyed decorating it and making nice-to-have improvements, while appreciating the quality construction of this home. What sold us was the in-town location, but the home itself was exactly what we were looking for - a feeling of being "away from it all" but close enough to walk to all of Manchester's many restaurants and shops, and with mountain views! This home in particular appealed to us because of the en-suite bedrooms; we knew that we wanted families and groups alike to stay here and enjoy each other, but we wanted everyone to have their own space when they just need some quiet time. With every bedroom having its own bathroom, along with recreational space on every floor, it was perfect for us, and hopefully your family as well!
