Beautiful home & people
We loved the red cottage! Our hosts were kind and welcoming. The beds were comfortable, the shower was great, the kitchen was well-stocked. We enjoyed the lawn, the hiking trails right out back & the campfire! The location was perfect for enjoying the whole area. Thank you for a lovely stay, Lauren & Jim!

Property fit the description perfectly- charming cottage. Lauren was very responsive (we had no issues -just in giving helpful information.) It was VERY clean. We were there during the snow storm and were even able to pull into the garage - HUGE plus! Great location 15-20 minutes from Bromley. Close to restaurants too! Would def stay again! They even had a thoughtful little welcome bag w treats!

Great stay in Dorset!
Our family had a wonderful stay at this charming cottage. The location was perfect, less than 10 minutes from beautiful Manchester Center. Our dogs loved exploring the spacious property and the trails behind the house. Lauren and Jim were excellent hosts who were very easy to communicate with and had excellent tips for the local happenings in VT over the weekend. Check in was seamless and home was perfect for our small family and pets. Would definitely stay here again on our next visit to the area!
