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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Sibling getaway

The house was ideally located for us to have plenty of hiking options within a few miles. Far enough from town to feel like you're out in the woods but close enough to be able to take advantage of what Manchester has to offer. The first floor bedrooms and bath were ideal for the person in our party who has difficulty with stairs. I particularly enjoyed sitting on the back deck and listening to the babbling stream nearby. Very relaxing. This was our second stay at this house.

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.

Safe Haven

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.
