Great Stay and location

This place is in great location, close proximity to town and many things to do. The location is remote enough to have privacy. It set close to a creek, so you have a nice white noise of running river in the background. The place is clean and well equipped for stay. It is a typical cabin, with all the necessary amenities and plenty of space for family and friends to stay. The bedrooms are generous in size and comfortable.

Cozy and great location

The house had lots of space for the whole family and was conveniently located near town and skiing at Stratton. Gas fireplace in living room was nice touch for a place to hang out with games and tv. I'd stay again.

Beautiful property in a beautiful area. The only drawback to our stay was the toilet in the first floor bathroom was extremely slow and needed to be plunged if used.

Manchester - Ski Vacation

Location is great for access to Stratton & Bromley. Still convenient for Killington. Very quick to shipping and restaurants in Manchester. Some of the kitchen appliances were dated or challenging to use (toaster, oven). Kitchen floor very squeaky near the fridge.Showering required one at a time and no washing machine for enough hot water.Sufficient room for having guests for dinner or for gathering.

Spacious house and accommodating hosts!

We had a great time at this Manchester home. It was clean and comfortable, with loads of things for us all to do. Really feels like vacation! George was super responsive and answered our questions speedily throughout our stay. We loved the brook and made good use of it! Great place to stay, summer or winter!

Horse show getaway

Lovely location, so close to the horse show and the town of Manchester which has so much to offer. Located on a nice quiet road we enjoyed walking to the river and the hiking after the show, views are amazing. House offers all you need in a home away from home, the back deck has a fantastic view of the river. Very happy, would recommend.

Better than imagined

We were all thrilled with this property. It is out of the way and nice and quiet. It has lots of room and if you like the outdoors there are lots of options. We had a fly fisherman, hikers and a 4 year old grandson that loved that river! Yet it is not far from town if you like the better things in life. Orvis museum and store were amazing and there is a beautiful golf course.

Great Location and Perfect for our trip

George’s house was fantastic and everything that we hoped for. It is a fantastic location near Manchester, and is located on a very scenic private and quiet road. Amenities were fantastic, we had lots of fun playing ping pong, pool and using the outdoor grill. Sleeping arrangements were excellent, everything was super clean as well. Check in and check out was very easy, this was a perfect fall getaway for the weekend. Would highly recommend this house and might need to come back for a ski weekend soon!

extended family weekend

This rental home was spacious with plenty of activities. The location to the river and the Lyle Falls trail was perfect. For us city dwellers, the internet wasn't what we were used to so we had to hear complaints from the teens but was a minor inconvenience that comes with the beautiful location.

Cozy and Well Located

We stayed for over a month. This location can’t be beat! Everything you need is five minutes away but the house felt secluded and private. Listening to the brook on the porch at night was wonderful. We loved the private swimming hole too. With all the rain the path to get there was a little difficult but well worth it. Very clean and good amenities. Owners were very responsive.

What makes this property unique

We love the proximity to downtown Manchester, ski areas, and hiking trails with the sound of the brook in our backyard.
