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.
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.
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!
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.
The house was perfect for our family ski weekend. The layout is conducive to a big group and the bunk room was great for the cousins! Easy 10min ride to Bromley. Host was responsive and helpful!
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.
This house was just as advertised. Great location, plenty of room, clean yet rustic. The hosts were super responsive and accommodating. Would stay again in a heartbeat.
We had a wedding to attend at the Equinox, it was only 6 minutes away! It was perfect for us!!! Plenty of room, nicely kept home, babbling brook/river, comfy beds! Would definitely return and would recommend!!!
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.
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!
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.
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.
From the beginning our host George went above and beyond to help me secure the lodge for May arriving team of restorative practitioners who were arriving from varied domestic and international locations. This assistance was essential. And my team members arrived before me and sent messages of “this is unbelievable, wait til you get here and see where we are!!”
And the falls and nearby swimming hole I would drive two hours just to spend the day there in the pristine and rapidly flowing waters.
I can not recommend staying here enough if you are at all feeling like this space fits what you are looking for. I did and it exceeded expectations!
Thank you to the DeVine family.
We use VRBO frequently for vacations. This experience was great for our family. Location was convenient to Bromley and Stratton for skiing. Family room off the kitchen is perfect for watching TV and relaxing. Property manager quick to respond on all questions. We would come back again!!
