Our home offers 5 bedrooms each with en-suite private baths, lower level with second fireplace, walkout patio, 3 car garage with heated floors and ample convenient ski storage, and a mud room with a cozy gas stove.

Amazing Rental - Even Better in Person!

This was one of our favorite rentals for a ski weekend! Perfect for a big family with bathrooms in each bedroom and a huge open great room with amazing views. Extremely clean and comfortable, and really nice owners who made the process so easy. Less than 15 minutes from Bromley and so close to Manchester town. The perfect location!

Incredible week in perfect home. Highly recommend!

It’s hard to find words that accurately describe just how perfect this five bedroom with ensuites actually is for a group of 10/ 5 couples. Entering into the gorgeous family room/kitchen fully equipped and dining room area you are greeted with warm wood trim everywhere as well as a huge stone wood burning two sided fireplace. Ample room for all of us to linger and laugh and a gourmet kitchen where we all could prep and create in a BIG CHILL kinda way. Alexa provided fabulous music. Bedrooms are wonderful, fresh linens, new fluffy towels, puzzles, board games, bocce ball, Corn hole.. a small pond on the property is stocked and fishing equipment displayed in garage. Hiking path and hot tub as well as cozy spots to escape to with a glass of wine. We are here last week September and it’s beautiful. Can only imagine ski season. There is a full ski storage area with pot belly stove. The owners were available if we needed but the home really works and there was no need. Highly recommended for a family or group. Thank you so much to owners.

Linda was so helpful with all our needs. We were in town for a funeral and we’re having a dinner for family that was in town. The house was very easy to entertain in and had everything we could possibly need. The view is incredible and we saw deer and turkey. We were also close to Manchester and Dorset. Highly recommend.

Breathtaking Views!

I have two many words to describe our stay. First we were welcomed with a nice welcome package from our hosts. Linda did an impeccable job of decorating for Fall. Pumpkins and Fall decor in all rooms including outside. There were three couples and two children ages 2 and 4. We all had our own space along with the open space of outside. My 4 year old grandson delighted in catching a fish(released) in the pond on the property. The house was fully equipped for our needs. The home is located a few miles away from town and we felt secluded in our own little world. Great family time! Breathtaking! We did communicate with our hosts who were available when needed. Best week for us leaf peepers! The colors were outstanding. Great area with great restaurants and shopping for us women. Great golfing and fishing area. I can’t say enough about our stay, but had to summarize! Thank you so much Linda and PJ Clarke.

A lovely Fall weekend in VT

My girlfriends and I loved staying in this beautiful home in one of our favorite towns in Vermont. We have visited this area for years for a Fall getaway and this is by the far the best home we have stayed in. We were pleasantly surprised to see the house decorated with fall decor and pumpkins - it was such a lovely touch! The view out the back and the floor to ceiling windows was unmatched. All of my friends enjoyed the fact that each bedroom has an en suite bathroom and that everything we could have needed was included. I would 100% recommend and would 100% stay here again!

Beautiful home, perfect for family vacation!

This is a lovely home on so many dimensions: high quality furnishings and finishes throughout the house - everything feels substantive from furniture to woodwork to pots and pans; the views are amazing; the space easily accommodated our three generation family, including three pre-schoolers and one-preteen; having a nice bathroom for each bedroom was a real plus. The hosts and the property manager (Tara) were extremely responsive, especially the one morning when there was an issue with the water. It was cheerfully resolved by mid-morning. There's lots to do in the area - Dorset Marble Quarry was a big hit. Some intrepid members of our family jumped, others were delighted to watch. North Meadow Farm is worth a visit, especially for the little ones. Manchester is good for strolling. We especially liked Al Ducci's Italian Market - good enough that we got sandwiches there twice. Children's room at the public library was a big hit, the playground and pool at Dana Thompson Memorial Park also provided good, accessible activities. Benson's Pond was a fun swimming hole for some in our crowd. Others tried Lye Brook trail for a hike. Nothing is in walking distance, but quick driving distance. In all, we loved our stay! Thank you Linda, PJ and Tara.

Great place to vacation.

We have been renting VRBO homes for our family vacations for many years. This home was amazing. The indoor spaces and the outdoor areas made staying there so enjoyable. It is well located near interesting shops as well as accessable to great outdoor activities. The house is well equipped with all you need. One of the best homes we have rented. Would love to visit again in the Fall.

Amazing Home near Manchester

Absolutely beautiful home on a great property. We had a group of couples (with one child) for a long weekend enjoying the area. Each of us had our own room and full bath to relax in. The great room and kitchen are excellent for the whole group to be together. The kitchen had any tool, pan, or utensil you could want for cooking. Very well laid out and organized. Linda and PJ were excellent hosts. They were quick to reply to any questions and were very helpful all around. An overall great experience and our whole group would love to return.

Family Time

Perfect location for my family to experience real winter weather. Totally different climate than which we are used too. Grandkids enjoyed the inside and outside of this home.Sleigh rides down the hill behind the house, snowmen and snow angels. Family time inside the house was cozy and casual. A relaxed time together. Plenty of room for togetherness and alone time too.
