Wonderfully spacious, fully equipped home!

We spent a wonderful 5 days in this beautiful home! There were 7 of us, including our almost 2yr old granddaughter. There was plenty of space and more than enough bathrooms for everyone! We have often found that kitchens can be sparsely furnished. The opposite was true with this home. They had everything you could have possibly needed and then some (even a designated bowl for cell phones/ if you wanted a phone free meal or day)!! The main living space was perfect for lounging with lots of comfortable seating. (my main criteria when booking a home) They had 2 port a cribs AND a high chair. It was so nice that we didn't have to travel with those items. We used the two garages which was very convenient. The location is perfect! Walking distance to the grocery store and many shops. And to top it off, there was a ping pong table in the basement (not mentioned in the homes details). What a BONUS!! We had a question when we arrived at the house. Katie responded within minutes. The only down side was that the road and driveway were very icy. We couldn't really enjoy the outdoor space / but that's winter in VT! We hope to come back next year!! Katie, thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us! The Powers Family, Medfield, MA

Great house, great location!

This house exceeded our expectations! The location is close to Manchester town and a quick drive to the mountains. The house is clean and more spacious than the pictures elude to! En-suite bathrooms are large, there’s plenty of closet space and the bedrooms are meticulously made up. There are plenty of extra pillows and blankets. We really enjoyed our stay and can’t wait to do it again!

Brookside Retreat

We rented this amazing home for one week over the Christmas holiday. In preparation for our visit, the home was decorated tastefully and beautifully with a lovely tree, fresh greens and lights throughout every downstairs room.The running brook and glistening snow along with a mountain view, made for a fairytale experience in a very private setting. Our only regret was not having the use of the gas fireplace in the study, which was no longer in use; however, the dramatic main fireplace made up for some of the disappointment. Our host, Katie, proved to be exceptional in addressing a problem with the heating system, and we thank her. Because of this host and the home itself, we would choose this vacation property again without hesitation, and highly recommend it for your next Vermont escape.

We loved our stay in VT. This property is comfortable, clean and nicely appointed. Located right in the heart of beautiful Manchester, it was perfect for our family. Beds were comfy and the layout of the home lends itself to privacy for everyone. Our young people really loved the upstairs game room! Check in was super easy! We would definitely return.

A Wedding to Remember

Our stay at this peaceful sunny home was the perfect setting for a summer weekend wedding hosted at the Manchester Inn. Four couples attending a Friday through Sunday rehearsal dinner, wedding, reception, post reception and breakfast at the Inn had everything we needed to prepare for events and relax as if at home.The hosts anticipated our every need with ironing boards on each floor and bathrooms for each bedroom, so everyone could get ready at once.

Our Stay Was Perfect In Every Way

I don’t know where to start because there is so much to say about our host, Kate, her thoughtfulness, the house, the location & the truly wonderful time that we enjoyed there. The house, terrace and grounds are beautiful, outside is immaculate, so pretty with views of the mountains and inside is spotless, warm, comfortable and welcoming. Everything you can possibly think of is provided for you so you have a worry free stay & feel like you’re in your own home, including a tray with every kind of battery, a walk in closet with extra towels, sheets, comforters & pillows. The bedroom with bunk beds has blackout curtains, there is a high chair & even a port-a crib & high chair! This was an early birthday celebration for me with my two sons and their families; we felt right at home from the minute we walked in, especially as Kate had left me a lovely gift of a cake, a bottle of wine & a balloon. What a welcome!! My granddaughters loved the basement with the Corn hole game, Jenga, ping pong and basketball. Despite their young ages, they tried everything!! There is a wonderful family room upstairs with a fabulous, comfy sectional couch, game table & tons of Wi games, nothing has been left out! We were blessed with perfect weather & being able to walk into town or to Shaws to pick up a few things, added to how perfect the location was. We felt so at home, Kate was responsive & concerned and everything added up to us having a truly wonderful time (I ran out of characters to say more!)

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!
