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!

Very Charming Vermont House: Ideal for Our Family & Friends Trip

It was our first time staying at this house for an annual ski weekend with three families (adults + kids), and it was perfect! The house is beautiful, spacious, clean, and warm - perfect for our group. There was plenty of space to hang out and relax, and the kids loved the sleeping setup in the basement. It’s also an amazing location, within walking distance to all the restaurants and shops in Manchester, perfect for the non-skiers in the group. Highly recommend!

Perfect Ski Weekend with Two Families

We had a wonderful stay at the Bonnet House. We shared the house as two families of four and there was so much room to spread out. The basement was the perfect place for a sleepover for the younger boys. The house was immaculate and all of the little touches made our Bromley ski weekend perfect!

Wonderful stay

Joan and her home helped create a great weekend exploring Vermont. The house is always clean and in an excellent location. So easy to get down town for shops and restaurants or to get out of town to Bromley and Stratton. Joan is very responsive to any need and leave’s excellent instructions for open and close, as well as listings of local activities and food. Thanks again!

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.

Perfect getaway

This is a beautiful home, the pictures struggle to do it justice! Rooms are big and bright, everything is immaculate and Joanie makes the check in and check out process so very easy. We stayed with three adults and 2 kids (6 & 4), and everyone had plenty of space to enjoy themselves and spread out. Easy walking to Manchester center and super short drive to Dana Thompson park, Bromley and Stratton meant we would we were never short of activity options. 10/10 would (and probably will) stay here again!

Wedding weekend in Manchester

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!

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.
