About this property

This house is a 2 bedroom(s), 2.5 bathrooms, located in Manchester, VT.

Enjoy a storied stay at the Novel House, a beautifully restored home in the heart of Manchester Village. The house is designated historic by the Manchester Historical Society and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.

In the mid-1800s, the mother-in-law suite (Novel House) was added to the original Wickham House (built c. 1790) to accommodate larger families which visited the elegant summer enclave of Manchester Village.

The home was recently renovated for modern living.

The home was recently renovated to meet the needs of a modern family, including main-floor living, an open kitchen, luxury bathrooms with radiant-heated floors & an en-suite sleeping porch.

Please inquire first if your reservation request is within 48 hours of your arrival date.

Please note there is a VT Meals and Rooms Tax @ 9%, plus Manchester's Local Option Meals and Rooms Tax @ 1%.

Manchester is a small town in southernwestern Vermont, nestled at the foot of 3,816-foot Mount Equinox. The village has a tranquil old-world atmosphere, while Manchester Center is a shopper's paradise that is completely different from the village with its signs, sights and many shops. Manchester is also home to Hildene, Robert Todd Lincoln's 412-acre summer estate.

Professionally cleaned between guests. This is a 2 bedroom home, which sleeps up to 4 adults. The third bedroom (baby's nursery) is closed off for owners use only.

The house is beautifully furnished. There is a large sleeping porch connected to the two rear bedrooms. Opened up to the living room and dining room, there is a newly renovated kitchen with everything you need to either cook at home or stroll to the nearby restaurants down Main Street.

The two full bathrooms upstairs have radiant floors. There is a powder room located on the main floor.

Please note, the Novel House is attached to the rear of the Wickham House. See AirBnB listings of Wickham House and Lyman Cottage for details and availability.

Storied’ Stay Experience
It was excellent. If I had to be critical; the only problem was that the TV did not work the second day. We spent 2 hours back and forth trying to fix it.
