This was the cleanest and most thoughtful (curated amenities) rental we have ever stayed in. The location was convenient and walkable to downtown Manchester Center. If we find ourselves traveling to Manchester again in the future we will definitely stay here again!

Eight consecutive years visiting Manchester in October and this VRBO was by far our favorite place to stay above them all. Our cottage was not only immaculate, but the high end linens were much appreciated. The king size bed was very comfy as well as all the furniture in the living room. The multiple shower heads, along with the heated floors, were amazing. The cookware was great and the table for two was set with fresh flowers. It was a nice surprise to find everything we needed for breakfast in the refrigerator: fresh eggs, English muffins, butter, bacon and coffee. The cottage is just a very short walk away from Main Street. Walking to restaurants, the quaint shops, the outlets and the recreational park was a breeze. The cottage itself is very private, which made for quiet relaxing evenings. We met Joanie, the owner briefly, and we found her to be very friendly and accommodating. If you are looking for the perfect stay in Manchester, don’t waste time looking any further. This place is a gem.

Wonderful getaway!

We stayed at Tucked In for a quick getaway in Manchester Center. The cottage is very private yet close to restaurants & retail, so everything was walkable. Very clean and tastefully decorated, it felt spacious yet cozy. Fridge was stocked with a few breakfast items. Thanks Joanie!

A real find

We have been traveling the Manchester area for 30 years, and Tucked In is one of the nicest places we've stayed. It's hard to find a one bedroom rental this new, clean and private. We cooked in a bit, and the small kitchen was well equipped. Definitely recommend this place!

Perfect cozy cottage!!! 😍😍

We just spent a week in this lovely cottage, very spacious for 2 people with all the amenities we needed. The location is great and we were able to walk to the town as well as short drives for great hikes and fly fishing. We also highly recommend the Thai Basil restaurant, 5 minute walk from Tucked In. 😄

"Tucked In" is the perfect name

This is indeed "A luxury cottage in the heart of Manchester Center" - perfectly appointed inside and out. Joanie has thought of everything for the cottage and stocks the fridge for your arrival. If you need Joanie during your stay, she is available and very accommodating. Manchester Center is a great center point to explore from in a different direction every day. This part of Vermont is beautiful!

Excellent property and lovely location

This is truly an excellent place for a couple to stay right in the heart of Manchester, Vt. It's an adorable one bedroom home with a luxury feel to make you feel comfortable and at home. And you can walk into Manchester to enjoy this quaint town. Our host Joan is an excellent communicator with very timely messages giving us helpful information to whatever questions we asked. We highly recommend staying at "Tucked In". Thank You so much Joan for letting us stay at your home to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. Kurt and Beth

About the host

Hosted by Joan Burns

Host profile image
I moved here from Westchester County, NY in 2012. I lived in that area for over 40 years. During 5 of those years I was an innkeeper in the Bahamas as welI as St. Croix. I grew up coming here, almost moved here a couple of different times and in 2012, I decided to make the move. I bought this property and completely renovated it the first year I was here. At the beginning of 2014 I set out to create Tucked In. It's new and I'm excited to be back in the hospitality business. I love Manchester and I look forward to hosting you here in my new hometown.

Why they chose this property

I looked for a long time and there was something about this house and where it sat. I didn't want to be in the middle of nowhere so this was the perfect solution. My house was built in 1895 and it was built beautifully. It was in desperate need of love and that's what it got. It took some time and a little bit of aggravation but in the end, it is magnificent and stands proudly in the center of town. A neighbor across the street described it as 'shiny'

What makes this property unique

The benefits are its proximity to everything in town, the luxurious amenities in the cottage, and the comparably affordable nightly rate!
