Great space and air-conditioning. About 10 minutes from Vermont summer festival. Check-in was easy we loved the location lots of places to sit and hang out when we were done with long workdays. As well as a quick walk down to a very fun swimming hole. We plan on staying again!

It was a great place to stay for a good amount of people with ample enough room to not ever feel like anyone is in anyone else’s way. Plenty of spare amenities in the event you happen to have forgotten your toiletries, much like myself. The Christmas tree with an ornament guestbook was a nice touch! We also loved the proximity to the stream. It was great to be able to wake up, have some coffee, and sit on the back deck to enjoy the natural sights and the sound of moving water. It was the perfect stay for us and our friends to get back and forth between the wedding venue, I would recommend it to anyone. Very charming, very Vermont.

Cozy and great location

The house had lots of space for the whole family and was conveniently located near town and skiing at Stratton. Gas fireplace in living room was nice touch for a place to hang out with games and tv. I'd stay again.

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.

Spacious house and accommodating hosts!

We had a great time at this Manchester home. It was clean and comfortable, with loads of things for us all to do. Really feels like vacation! George was super responsive and answered our questions speedily throughout our stay. We loved the brook and made good use of it! Great place to stay, summer or winter!

Beautiful property in a beautiful area. The only drawback to our stay was the toilet in the first floor bathroom was extremely slow and needed to be plunged if used.

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.

Better than imagined

We were all thrilled with this property. It is out of the way and nice and quiet. It has lots of room and if you like the outdoors there are lots of options. We had a fly fisherman, hikers and a 4 year old grandson that loved that river! Yet it is not far from town if you like the better things in life. Orvis museum and store were amazing and there is a beautiful golf course.
