About this property

Charming pet-friendly, Meadow View Cottage in heart of historic Dorset VT!

We are the owners and caretakers of this pet-friendly cozy cottage in the heart of Dorset, Vermont, and we take a lot of pride in offering a super clean, super cozy, and welcoming space for getaways to our beautiful state. The cottage is just steps to Dorset shops, inns and bakery, and minutes to Manchester Center for shopping, dining, and local attractions. Gather around the gas fireplace, enjoy Meadow and mountain views and relax in country style! Cottage features a master bedroom with queen bed and ensuite full bath, and a guest bedroom with queen bed and ensuite half bath, fully equipped eat-in kitchen and off-street parking. Pets must be crated if left alone in the house; crates can be provided. There are so many wonderful things to do in Southern Vermont in every season! In summer hike the many trails throughout the lush Green Mountains; take a plunge at the historic Dorset Quarry; go trailriding with experienced guides at Chipman Stables; canoe the Battenkill River; experience the thrills of Bromley Mountain's alpine slide and ropes course; take in a concert or see the lastest exhibits at the Southern Vermont Arts Center; experience world-class plays at the Dorset Playhouse; and enjoy the many delicious dining options in Dorset and surrounding towns. Winter brings skiing at any of the many resorts near by and charming holiday decorations in Dorset and Manchester. Fall is foliage time, when the colors blaze spectacularly across the forests! And Spring is...well, it's mud season! But also, the flowers are starting to bloom, and baby animals arrive at the farms in the area. And you never know, you might get a last chance at some fantastic spring skiing! We hope you come visit!

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!

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.)

We had a wonderful stay at this charming cottage! From the moment we arrived, everything was spotless, cozy, and thoughtfully prepared. The space perfectly balanced comfort and style — with a well-stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, and plenty of room to relax. We especially loved the peaceful setting and the attention to detail that made it feel like a true home away from home.The host was incredibly kind and responsive, providing clear instructions and great local recommendations. Every aspect of our stay was seamless and enjoyable. We can’t recommend this cottage highly enough and would absolutely love to come back again!

Cleanest house we’ve ever stayed in. Brought my mom here for her birthday after I had stayed at the house. She normally has to clean EVERYTHING when we stay here and she was like oh I don’t think anything needs to be wiped down. Super nice house and kept in great condition. Very comfy and cozy. Fire heats up house really well. My mom is already asking when we can come back
Some friendly neighbors!

This was my second stay at this truly lovely cottage. I feel that the host goes the extra mile to make sure that one is comfortable and has little necessities that they may need and have forgotten. I had to borrow a little shampoo this time! I will always come back and stay at this cottage if it is available when I am in Vermont. There is no reason to look elsewhere! Thank you!

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!

Lovely stay for a winter ski weekend

We had a fantastic stay at this very cute, clean cottage right in Dorset. A very short drive from Manchester and not far at all from a number of ski mountains, we enjoyed all the communication & recommendations from the host, Nicole. It's a very dog friendly house so the pups that joined us on our trip were able to go out back in the fenced in area, and the local streets/area provided great opportunity for walks. Would certainly stay here again & appreciate the cozy atmosphere that was perfect for 2 couples looking for a VT weekend getaway!
