My spouse and I had a delightful week at the pool house. The location is beautiful and private but only 20 minutes from all the amenities of Manchester. We swam every day in the pool and just totally relaxed. We look forward to returning soon.
Great house for a large family. Very welcoming and pet friendly- the host even left snacks for our arrival! House was clean and as described upon our arrival.
This was our second visit to Mattawee and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The pool was a a great way to get some exercise and the property is just spectacular. We will be back.
We loved this house. It's cozy yet spacious and very well-stocked. Our kids LOVED the indoor pool and swam several times per day. The owner was a pleasure to work with and answered all questions promptly. Also, the EV charger at the house saved us! Thanks for a great stay!
When you stay at this property you can sit around and gawk at the awesome views, go ape and swim in the ample pool, take a beautiful quiet walk, or hustle up to one of the ski areas. An awesome experience.
We really enjoyed our stay at the pool house. The indoor pool room is amazing, and we had the unique experience of swimming all afternoon while watching the snow fall outside! The house is beautiful, with large yet cozy rooms and had everything that we needed. We cooked several meals in the kitchen, and there were even plastic wine glasses to take to the pool 😊 The Wi-Fi was way to connect to and strong enough for all the devices. The dining room was a favorite space, with an entire wall of glass up to a vaulted ceiling. We played board games and watched the wildlife when we weren’t swimming in the pool or watching movies in the family room. There is a nice woods and mountain view out back. Manchester was a short drive for shopping and restaurants. We contacted the host a few times with questions and he was quick to respond with helpful answers. We would absolutely stay here again.
Overall our stay was very enjoyable, but the house needs some maintenance and more attention to detail in the summer months. On arrival we found the property was not properly prepared for guests and the two bedroom on the second floor were blazing hot and unusable so we consolidated on the first floor. As we opened windows to cool the house (we stayed for July 4th weekend) opening windows revealed that the house had been unoccupied for quite some time, and we were forced to strip the beds and wash the linen at 10pm. We let the property owner know and they promised to address our concerns for future guests. Given the price per night, we didn’t think the cleanliness of the beds was a good value for the money.The rest of the house was well equipped, pantry was stocked with useful items and plenty of dishware/cookware. The living room was welcoming and the kids enjoyed the movies that were available.The Indoor pool is huge and even though it has some age on it, the heater worked extremely well. They provide plenty of clean towels and floaters for all ages! I do think the pool needs to be cleaned more frequently though. You come to Vermont in the summer for the outdoors, and this property does not disappoint in that regard. The property is expansive and well maintained with plenty of space. Not far from the property are great hiking trails and a river you can swim in although the master was ice cold! Views are stunning. I bet winter and fall are stunning here!
This is by far the best vacation we have been on since Covid started. My husband and 2 kids and I never even left the house. It was cold, snowy and all we wanted to do was swim. We brought all the food we needed to make our dinners. Brought board games and had the best time. Super clean and cozy. We brought our own towels but they had plenty of beach towels for days. Nice touches we greatly appreciated. We loved to maple syrup and pancake mix. We look forward to coming back for another fun visit.
Communication and check in with Charles was flawless. The house is extremely well equipped. They have thought of everything. Our only issue was the inability to control the pool area temp. It was pretty cold to sit out there watching the grandkids play in the pool, which was the reason for renting this house. It improved late in the afternoon but try holding kids off until 3pm!
So, renting on a typical January day in Vermont and considering the price for a house with a pool, it seems silly not to be able to let the renters control the pool area temperature just like any other room in the house. Even my husband wore his jacket to sit out there.
The indoor pool is awesome. The kids loved swimming in the winter. Three days of swimming and bbq’ing is exactly what we were looking for. Thank you! We will be back.
We stayed for 3 nights in early October and had a wonderful time. The pool was amazing (our daughters loved it!), and the house had everything we needed. Absolutely beautiful area, and lots of places to drive to that aren't too far away. Plenty of family hikes in the area as well. Wonderful! Would go again for sure.
I rented this home to spend some much needed family time with 4 grandchildren and a friend. We loved this property. The indoor pool is certainly a game changer traveling with kids. We only left this house twice during our stay to grab groceries.
We had the best time.
Mettawee was fantastic. The property was in fantastic shape in every way—clean, well furnished, and full of thoughtful little touches that enhanced our stay. The owners really go out of their way to make it comfortable. The pool is obviously the pièce de résistance, and is what separates this from anywhere else we’ve ever stayed. Outstanding!
Mettawee pool house is a truly stunning property -- grounds and pool are amazing. House is rustic and comfortable, and Charles was highly responsive to the few questions we had. Was the perfect spot for our family during these crazy times, and we would definitely return.
The house is great, with a unique character. It has a lot of space and rooms, with enjoyable outdoor patio. Located 20 min from the center, it provides the perfect environment for people who want to disconnect or simply work from somewhere else. Charles has been very responsive during the process and everything went well.
The house was cozy and had a great layout for the family to spread out. The pool was a huge hit with the kids! The kitchen was well equipped. The property was well cared for and the kids loved the sledding on the back Hill. Thanks for a great week!
First of all, Charles truly makes himself available when it comes to communicating with him. He is very prompt to respond right away.
The house was perfect for 10 adults (and we did not utilize the basement). Once we got there we did not leave until it was Check-Out time! It was the perfect winter weekend getaway.
The views are absolutely amazing!
I only gave 4 stars for the location simply because the nearest grocery store was roughly 20 minutes away; however, we showed up full prepared!
I would highly suggest this house and even rent it again!
Even better than advertised. Pool was huge, clean and lovely.

Wonderful place for a weekend getaway!
This home was the perfect place for a weekend in Vermont! The house was very clean upon arrival and we used the kitchen to prepare meals all weekend. The location has gorgeous views and is just a short drive from Manchester for restaurants, grocery stores, outlets, and more. The bedrooms were very comfortable and we all felt at home for the weekend away. Would definitely return!

A great place to hang out with friends!
The Mettawee house was the perfect setting for our weekend get away Bachelorette party. Clean, comfortable, and spacious, we used the common rooms during the day for lounging and games and still all had a private space to retreat to at night. It was cold outside but the pool was a comfortable temperature and there are great views from every window. Would definitely use again!!

Great Weekend Getaway
I had a great time with friends saying at the Mettawee house. We used the well appointed kitchen to make a few meals, got to go swimming in the indoor pool, and slept well in comfortable rooms. Everything we needed was there! I only wish we could have stayed longer!

Beautiful views, Amazing accommodations
We stayed in Littlebranch for 2 nights and 3 days. Although the weather was cold, the warmth of the property and the kindness of the owners made for an unforgettable stay. The owners were very communicative throughout the process, and the house is perfect for a relaxing getaway. Our guests enjoyed the indoor pool and made use of all of the rooms, which were clean and hospitable. We will definitely stay here in the future! Thank you for a wonderful stay!
