If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! The property is in a perfect location — walkable to the stores and restaurants on Main St. At the same time, there's plenty to do on site: a swimming pond, hammock, yoga room, checking out the chickens and pigs (who were not noisy btw, I am a light sleeper and was not woken up by the rooster). But the big standout was how Rich went above and beyond to make sure we were well cared for. We were in town for a wedding, and he reached out to his network to help us find a ride to and from a neighboring town. Really incredible! I would recommend his property without reservation and would 10/10 stay here again.
Went for a few days of skiing and touring Manchester, VT. The property was wonderful -- very clean and appealing and in a great location. We could have walked to nearly everything in town, but it was raining so we didn't. We used the stovetop, coffee maker, and watched movies through the available streaming. There were some games in the house, and a welcome gift and note. Heating was comfortable. The manager was friendly. Overall, I'd book this place again.
