A Wonderful House

This charming, very roomy house is filled with neat artwork and great books! The beds were very comfortable, plenty of hot water and everything else needed to make a stay perfect. Walking distance to town was such a bonus! Our group (6 adults) loved it!

Fantastic in Every Way!

We all agreed that this is an absolutely beautiful and comfortable property! It couldn’t have been any better. Joanie is an excellent host wanting to be sure everything is just right and she is so easy to communicate with. The location is wonderful too as we could walk to coffee shops, restaurants and shops. The scenery in the area is lovely surrounded by mountains. Absolutely perfect!

Better than pictured

The picture makes the house appear smaller, when we got there we were pleasantly surprised at how much bigger it was. Joan had left bacon and eggs and a lot of other amenities for us. She was very responsive to messages. The house was clean, the beds and bedding were comfortable. The location was fantastic, we skied Bromley which was only 17 minutes away. The only downside I would say is there are no locks on any of the doors and the basement had an odor. The kids were down there and didn’t seem to mind.

Beautifully appointed and comfortable home.

My group of family and friends (eight adults and two children) thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The home is exquisite. Beautifully decorated and spotless. The location was terrific, a short walk to town and 15 minutes to skiing. Joan was a text away and most accommodating. I would highly recommend this property and will definitely book it again.

The pictures on line of this house are beautiful. Walking into the home far exceeded what we saw in photos. This home is gorgeous, immaculately clean, spacious, lots of extra touches, like eggs, bacon, butter, orange juice in the fridge. Joan is a lovely hostess and quick to answer any questions or requests. This is one of my top ten VRBO properties!

Joanie was an attentive host who thought of everything - we were so appreciative of her quick responses and especially the breakfast goodies that she had stocked in the fridge for us. Thank you for a wonderful long weekend!

Amazing home!

My family, friends and I all LOVED this house, it is far more beautiful then it even looks in the pictures. The house was beautifully decorated but so comfortable and clean. One of the best appointed houses I have ever stayed at, lots of clean towels, well stocked kitchen and the owner Joan even left a few breakfast essentials in the fridge. Home was very comfortable for 2 families, with separate living areas for kids and adults to each have their own space. The location is also perfect, with shops and restaurants just steps away. Would stay at this house again and highly recommend to anyone else.

Beautiful, Spacious, Environmentally Conscious

Simply beautiful inside and out, decor, artwork, kitchen, and gardens. It's a one block walk to shops and restaurants. Spacious! Plenty of room for 9 guests to sleep, eat, and gather, as well as find a quiet corner. Ample seating on the porches, back patio, and large fire pit. Plenty of towels in the kitchen and bathrooms, recycling, paper straws, and sustainably sourced disposable ware should you choose to use it. Extra touches: multiple streaming services, plenty of fire wood, and breakfast foods in the fridge.

Perfect in every way

This house is a gem in the middle of a beautiful town. The quality of the interior is outstanding. Plenty of space for everyone. Joan was incredibly responsive and nothing was too much trouble. As others have said, the kitchen is well stocked. Plenty of linens, towels and additional touches with bath robes in the closets. The other thing Joan couldn’t control was the weather so we didn’t ski much but with such a stunning home we were happy to sit around the fire and play games. Thank you - we can’t wait to come back.

amazing property

The Bonnet House is absolute treasure. Perfectly situated in Manchester. It's easy walking distance to all of the shops and eateries but tucked safely to the side of traffic and noise. We had easy access to coffee shops, restaurants/bars, bakeries, and one of the best book stores we've ever been to. The property is perfect with ample parking, a great sitting porch on the front and back, and a gas fire pit to enjoy with friends and family. The house itself has plenty of space for large dinners and gatherings but maintains an extremely cozy feel with all of the decorations and places to sit and cuddle. Perfect for all ages and affords enough spaces for kids and adults to have their own areas and not bother each other. The host, Joanie, is extremely accommodating. Everything was clean, stocked, and well thought out. There are extras of everything. Joanie even had some things in the fridge for us to throw a little breakfast together if we wanted to. The environment is warm and cozy. The home was surprisingly well insulated as well. It was an easy drive to and back from Stratton Mountain where my family spent our days on the slopes. I would definitely recommend Bonnet House and we will definitely be back. This house truly had something for everybody. Kids room with comfy beds in the lower floor for them to watch movies and play games. A quiet sitting room to read or write. A large family room where we watched movies together. However the absolute highlight was the chess table. Our little ones learned how to play on this trip and the adults had fun sitting around with drinks in our hands watching our kids pull their queens out way too early :) p.s. when we discovered that the Keuring machine was not working properly, we texted Joanie only to discover that there was a new machine in the box sitting on the porch. The attention to details, quick responses, and overall care were greatly appreciated and we did not take it for granted. It definitely made our stay comfortable and stress free.

About the host

Hosted by Joan Burns

Host profile image
I moved to Manchester 12 years ago. I have renovated this house and created my other rental, "Tucked In" which is on the same property. Until now, I have only rented Tucked In. The cottage has been a huge success. I decided it was time to share my amazing main house with the VRBO community.

Why they chose this property

This property is perfect for any number of scenarios. Family reunion, girls or guys getaway, couples, family ski vacation and with the additional cottage, the possibilities are endless. It is a very relaxing, comfortable home in the middle of downtown Manchester on a half acre. The cottage is rented separately.

What makes this property unique

It's a beautiful home with the luxury of being in town.
