Awesome Spot

This home was in such a cool location. The mountain in the backyard with trails was awesome for hiking. The house itself was super clean and very inviting. The owner was excellent with communication. You couldn’t ask for more in a VRBO!

Wonderful Vermont Getaway

My family and some extended family went for a weekend getaway to visit friends who lived near-by in Dorset. The house was beautiful and exactly like it is described in the listing. Our host Susan was wonderful, she was quick to answer any questions i had and left us some delicious muffins .

Snowy Ski Family Weekend with dogs

This beautiful cottage and its wonderful owner were both amazing. The cottage is roomy, welcoming, well maintained, clean. well stocked and a perfect getaway. The owner asked what time we were going skiing, and then had the driveway cleared for us. Communication with the owner was easy and immediate. We highly recommend this home!

Perfect leaf peeping weekend

The Cozy Cottage was warm and spotless with everything we needed for comfortable weekend. The host was so friendly and accommodating and even had supplies for our dog. The location was quiet and peaceful. There were lots of places to hike . Manchester had good stores and restaurants. This is one of our favorite VRBO homes!

Summer In Vermont

Our family of four had an amazing time staying at the Cottage. Susan was a fantastic host and went out of her way to help us feel at home. The Cottage was even better in person, and the area exceeded our (lofty) expectations. We are already dreaming about coming again next summer (if not sooner).

Beautiful location, great hosts

We had a lovely week at the cottage. It’s wonderfully laid out and comfortable… with its own secluded space but not toooo far from things. The house is well appointed with the basics, and set up for easy finding. Plus, it’s far enough from the traffic of Manchester, which for us was a bonus. A prefect spot.

Fairy dust

It really did feel like someone had sprinkled fairy dust over this gorgeous cottage. It’s just stunning. Beautiful crockery, bedding and interiors. Short drive to Manchester which worked well for us even on the snowy days. Susan was very helpful. We would love to return one day.

Perfect Cottage

Tucked away off the beaten path we were able to experience a true Vermont feeling. Enjoyed a great hike behind the home too. Home was very very clean and had everything we needed. Just felt like the perfect Vermont experience. Was close to the town of Manchester which is amazing. Owner was so kind and responsive and even offered to let me borrow a pair of fancy shoes for a wedding we were going too!

The cottage is welcoming, comfortable & well provisioned. The host is very pleasant, helpful & responsive. The location is quiet & scenic & well situated, 30 minutes to Manchester/Dorset for the shoppers & 30 minutes to Stratton for the skiers. Our dog also enjoyed her stay! Thank you.

Ski trip stay

We booked this accommodation for our winter ski trip and it was extremely comfortable here. The house had everything we needed from kitchen supplies to extra linens, and the view from out the dining room window was beautiful. Susan was also easy to reach and very considerate to our requests.
