About this property

Mountain views. Ski Bromley, Stratton. Minutes to restaurants, Equinox, Ekwanok.

Experiencing Vermont at our family getaway is relaxing and fun no matter what the season! Set on more than 5 acres with lovely flower gardens and views of the mountains, our home is conveniently located a half mile from Manchester Village and all the seasonal activities that the Manchester area offers. It's 15 minutes to Bromley, 30 minutes to Stratton, and 40 minutes to Magic Mountain. Mt Snow, Okemo and Killington are easy drives. Attending a wedding at the Equinox? 5 minutes and you're there. Attending a wedding at the Ekwanok Country Club? We're across the street.

The sunny first floor of our home features exposed beams and posts, a living room with a wood-burning fireplace and an open concept kitchen and dining room with a wood-burning stove. The kitchen has new stainless steel appliances and is well-stocked for those that like to cook.

Off the dining area is a screened-in porch with a dining table for 8 and a view of the Green Mountains. The porch leads to a marble patio and gardens.

On the first floor, you will also find the master bedroom with master bath en suite, a second bedroom, and a half-bath.

The second floor has a large bedroom with three twin beds--two can be turned into a king bed upon request--and a full bathroom with a small but functional shower, a tub and a dressing area. All rooms have hardwood floors except for tiling in the bathrooms and mudroom.

Furnishings, whether new and mid-century modern or vintage farmhouse, are fresh. Linens are crisp. Our home is relaxing, comfortable and sunny, and set up well for multiple couples, a weekend with friends, or a family stay.

Whether you plan to visit to ski, hike, bike, see a play, attend a wedding, or relax and read on the patio, you will find that our home and the area offers something for everyone!

Please note we have another building on our property, a barn which was converted to a loft apartment, which is accessed further down the same driveway. We may be staying in the barn, and we will also offer it for rent. Please let us know if you have a large party and would like both houses! The barn is far enough away from the house to ensure privacy for both parties. You can find the barn here: https://www.homeaway.com/vacation-rental/p7522981?adultsCount=2&noDates=true&petIncluded=false

Wedding weekend

We had several events during our son's wedding weekend. The house and barn made for a great landing spot between events. We had plenty of room for all of our family. The property was very large and allowed for several sitting areas, both inside and outside. The landscape around the house made a great backdrop for pictures for the groom and groomsmen. The house has everything you need.

Exceded my expectations in every way

This beautiful home was perfect for a weekend getaway with friends. It was spotlessly clean, and comfortably appointed with everything we needed. We loved that every window had a stunning view. I appreciated the lay out with each bedroom being close to a bath, and everything spaced apart so everyone had privacy.

Beautifully tended home

The house is really nicely decorated and maintained. Kitchen well stocked for cooks and the beds comfortable. The screened in porch was great for eating meals. The grounds are so peaceful and beautiful although you do hear sporadic street traffic. . Overall, the house was great for us, owners very responsive and the location very pretty and convenient to town.

A beautiful property with a perfect location

We stayed in The Garden House just last weekend and it was perfect for our family of 5. The entire house was as clean as a whistle. The master bedroom has a gorgeous en-suite with a soaker tub. The second downstairs bedroom was perfect for my mother-in-law with a double bed and the room upstairs had two twin beds for our children with a private bath attached. The grounds were beautifully in bloom with the green mountain as a backdrop. We didn't do much cooking since we only stayed two nights but the kitchen contained everything you would need to make a great meal. There was indoor seating for 6 in the kitchen but a great outdoor eating area as well. The house is located 5 minutes from the heart of Manchester, the outlets and some good restaurants. We ate at Thai Basil our first night in town, which was fantastic, and then ventured to the next town over, a 15 minute drive, for dinner at the Arlington Inn on Saturday night. Jean was a pleasure to deal with and was available by phone easily when I had a question about the lock for the back door. It is a perfect place to stay with a small family.

High-quality house right in Manchester

The house felt “not like a rental” as soon as we walked in. Particularly high-quality furniture and decor in LR and MBR. Nice hardwood floors and radiant heat throughout. Perfect amount of space and beds for my wife and me and our three kids. There were three beds upstairs so a family of six could sleep each kid in their own bed. Very well-stocked kitchen with ample space for family. Nice screened in porch would be great for spring/summer/fall. Owners were very responsive when we had questions about the heat. Two considerations for a winter stay: 1. Distance from Stratton. We booked late so didn’t have a choice but it’s about a 30 min drive, though the house is only a 2 min drive from the town center so there were plenty of dinner places just a few minutes away. 2. There is definitely a problem with heat in the MBR. When we called owners after it remained freezing for the first few hours after we arrived, owners said “just takes some time to warm up”. We think it took too much time - like 24+ hours from when we turned the thermostat up to when the room got tolerable. Never really got cozy warm at all during the few nights we were there and it wasn’t crazy-cold either. Personally, wasn’t that much of a bummer for us but I could see someone who hates to be cold really disliking that first night - my wife and I just used some extra blankets and slept in several layers/sweats with fleece vests on. Note to owner: if not easily fixable, I’d either preheat even just that BR for a day before guests arrive, or leave a space heater in the MBR. Most importantly, both the other BRs were cozy for the kids. There’s some other quirkinesses with the place like too-low ceilings leading to the upstairs BR and some weirdness with light switches/bathroom fixtures, but the backyard is massive, there’s a great patio and screened in porch, the MBR is spectacular when it’s not too cold, and the common areas feel more like home and less like a typical rental in this price range. Even with the heat issue, if the place was 5-10 mins from Stratton we’d stay again.

Beautiful Garden home & Perfect location

Home was clean and well equipped to provide our family of five comfort and relaxation between our day trips. The beds were comfortable and bathrooms well stocked with necessities. The kitchen was well stocked & we loved all the outdoor space to enjoy our meals. The home is called the, Garden House for a reason and it did not disappoint. Loved walking around the 5 acre property to appreciate the beautiful landscape and gardens.

About the host

Hosted by John and Jean

John hails from Boston and Jean from Syracuse, NY. They live in the Boston area but come to Vermont as often as they possibly can!

Why they chose this property

Over the course of several weekend getaways throughout the years Jean and John fell in love with Vermont - and they especially fell in love with the Manchester area. When they saw this property they knew it was the one. Beautiful views in every direction, rural in feel yet super close to Manchester cafes, restaurants, an awesome bookstore, and of course skiing, hiking....

What makes this property unique

We love the Manchester area throughout the year. There is so much to do in the area. We love the outdoors. There is also a really neat cultural scene in southern Vermont.
