Family Reunion & Ski Triop
This beautiful home was perfect for our mini family reunion. The house is laid out in a way that allowed for us to entertain everyone, while allowing those which required more sleep to do so. The games were plentiful...even Grandma was playing Pinball! Would definitely return for another family trip to the area.

Manchester Ski Weekend
The home is beautiful with lots of space and modern amenities. We were there to celebrate a milestone bday with two other families and it was truly an amazing weekend! It’s super close to Manchester town and both mountains for skiing . Lots of activities for everyone at the house! The owner and house manager were both accessible and very helpful! The experience exceeded our expectations!

Fun for all
My multi-generational family had a fantastic stay at this home. The house is clean and very well organized. It was also the best stocked house any of us had ever stayed in. It is very well laid out for multiple families so that each family can have their own part of the house - my sister was able to put her baby to bed and not worry about noise waking them. The biggest hit with the kids was definitely the pinball machines. I had planned many activities for us but the kids barely wanted to leave the house. The adults also loved the pinball machines and the views from the house. We hope to stay again!

Thanksgiving Weekend
What a wonderful experience we had at the Manchester Home!! The house was fully equipped with everything we needed for our Thanksgiving dinner. The kitchen was stocked with pots and pans, dishes, utensils and electronics that made the entertaining easy. Sleeping in beds that were extremely comfortable and waking to a magnificent view was the highlight. The Williams Family made memories of a life time. Thank you!!

Fantastic home near mountains
What a fantastic property to stay at with our family! We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to this beautiful mountain property. The grounds were lovely to walk around with gentle hikes around the pond and woods and river. We had a little bit more adventurous, hikes, going up and down some of the steeper areas as well. We skied Bromley Mountain, which was a short drive in the morning. The house was equipped with everything we could want for a fantastic stay. The caretaker, Millie, was extraordinarily available and went above and beyond to make sure all of our requests and needs were met. The house was everything we expected, and more!

Very nice house, great for large groups
The house is great and perfect for a large group. It is nice and clean. There is a lot of space. There is a big kitchen and then two big common spaces in the gameroom and family room. The design is a bit unusual - there are four separate upstairs bedrooms that are all accessed by separate stairs and do not connect on the 2nd floor. This results in a lot of privacy for people in those rooms. By my count, there are 7 bedrooms. The setting is private and 5-10 minutes from Manchester Center, which has great restaurants, grocery store, etc. There is also a ton of outdoors stuff to do nearby. A few drawbacks - The lawn area is not very big and not great for lawn games. The deck is great but there wasn't furniture outside of some folding chairs, which was odd. All in all, our group of 10 adults was happy with the house and would recommend it.

Awesome!
A+ all the way. There were so many great things about our stay in this home. Here are a few: 1. It fit all of us comfortably. The bedrooms were comfortable and well appointed and great for families w kids of all ages. 2. Location. Close to town, but tucked away in a very private, quiet setting. 3. Very well appointed kitchen. The kitchen had everything and then some. From enough plates and bowls to serve a large crowd, 2 fridges, double oven, many different appliances and gadgets for proper food prep, this place had everything. 4. Family spaces: The game room was a huge hit, the large great room with TV was an awesome place to hang out, and the deck and backyard perfect for evening cocktails and grilling.

Mixed bag
They say first impressions are important. Potholed driveway and front door in need of paint. Walk in and several of the glass sliders had broken seals. Everything we needed and more. Fixtures were new but other areas were in need of repair (behind refrigerator for example). No reading lights on entire first floor just overheads. Electronics were inconsistent with rest of house. We enjoyed except tide back and forth to center and up long rutted driveway

Fantastic Home nestled on a hill just outside downtown Manchester
My family and I stayed here for almost 10 days in November. The house was exactly what was presented online and more. It comfortably sleeps 12+ and even has air mattresses if needed. The layout is great providing plenty of space for everyone. The floor to ceiling windows looking out the kitchen provided great views us Floridians were not accustomed to. The game room was a hit and provided hours of entertainment, not just for the kids! The property is extensive which includes walking trails through the woods, a pond and a windy driveway that provided for great sledding. Overall, this property exceeded our expectations, the owner and property manager were very accessible. The only opportunity I can think of is the house did not cable and wifi was spotty depending on number of users. This was clearly stated in the post so nothing against the owners and I know they are working to fix this as Comcasat was there working on their lines. In all, this is a great property for a large family/group to entertain that is just minutes from all the shops and restaurants Manchester has to offer.

Wonderful way to start off 2020!
This rental was the perfect home base for our ski trip to Bromley, which was a quick 15 mins away. Our group consisted of four families, each with young children. (ages 10-3). There were plenty of beds and bathrooms, all very clean and well outfitted. The kids (ok, adults too) loved all the games and the adults appreciated the big, central kitchen area. The kitchen was very well equipped, and we appreciated that there were plenty of kid-friendly plates, bowls, cups, and utensils. We also explored the extensive property outside; inside, the views are beautiful, especially from the master bedroom. The house has a lot of modern upgrades (Alexas in every room, heated floors in some spaces, remote controlled shades) that were fun and convenient touches. We learned that we were the first group to take advantage of an enhanced wi-fi system, which was great. We had many devices logged on and no one had speed issues. Communication with the owner and property manager was easy: we had a brief water incident set off by the cleaning staff right before we came in that was resolved immediately: both Anna and Ki quickly responded and were very concerned about making sure there was no impact on our stay (there wasn’t!) For all these reasons, if this group is skiing again in this area, we would definitely stay here again!

Great Stay!
We just got back from the house and wanted to leave a review. The house was perfect for sharing with families. The bedroom and bathroom configuration allowed for very flexible sleeping arrangements. Some nights the kids wanted to share rooms together, other nights they wanted to be closer to their parents. The sleeping arrangements made this moving around possible. The kitchen is nice and big and well stocked. There are two fridges which definitely came in handy for stocking up on supplies for the week that we were there. The house had many fun things to do: 2 large tv's, video games, pinball, pool table/ping pong table kept us entertained when we weren't outside. The proximity of the house to beautiful hiking trails was definitely a bonus. Just two minor things to keep in mind when selecting this house: Though the ad shows that there are 40 acres to the property, most of it is hilly, wooded or features a stream or pond, so there isn't that much flat playing surface, though there was enough to play catch or kick a soccerball around. Secondly, there is a small weber portable bbq grill to use. It's not tiny, you can fit about 6 steaks on it at a time, but it's not one of those fancy gourmet grills that you might have. These weren't issues, but just something to keep in mind when booking. We had a great stay and both the property manager and owner were very responsive to questions. We would definitely love to come back!

Wonderful Vermont Winter House
The house is beautiful and the host and property manager are responsive and pay great attention to detail. My friends and I (group of 16) travel to Vermont annually for the past 7 years and this is by far one or the best houses we've stayed at. The house is thoughtfully laid out. Everything is labeled including light switches, cabinets, etc. Most labels have QR codes and you can simply scan the code to learn how to use the appliance or trash rules for example. This made it very easy rather than having to figure out on your own how to use something you're unfamiliar with. The bedrooms are accurate with more beds than actually show which is great. There are twin bunks in the room that shows to twin beds and there are a couple of cribs in the rooms. It was also very nice that 2 rooms had separating walls as it allowed more privacy to couples sharing those rooms. The floors throughout the home are heated which is awesome. The beds were new and very comfortable. One thing to note is to bring your own bedding if you are allergic to down because every comforter in the house is made with feathers. The pillows are fine though. After texting the owner and manager, they were very responsive and shared where I could find fleece throw blankets. The location of this house is also fantastic. You are a 5 minute ride from the bars and restaurants in downtown Manchester. You are also only 30 min from Stratton. The hosts were extremely accommodating and responsive. They gave us both early check-in and late checkout without even requesting it. We requested someone to come sand and salt a couple of times and they sent them right away. Besides that, we didn't really have to reach out to them otherwise and had no issues with the house. It's in perfect condition! There are endless games to play as well! There are board games, children's toys, ping pong, and pinball machines. The property is also very expansive, so we brought snow shoes and explored just on the property of the house itself. There are also two areas of space separated by a mud room. This worked well for our group as those that typically go to bed early stayed in one side and those that stay up late stayed in the otherwise that had all the common areas we hung in all weekend. We will definitely be booking this house again for our Winter Weekend in 2023, can't wait!

Great place for large families with multiple kids. Plenty of space to keep adults and children separated, so adults can keep socializing after the children are asleep.
