There are restored fir-wood floors, new carpeting and new paint everywhere, and brand new electrical-to-code wiring. We are air-conditioned and have toasty heating for winter. Complete with designer and heirloom furniture, antique and fine oriental rugs, nautical pieces, and original paintings by local artists; our second floor hideaway offers peace and quiet, privacy, and off-street parking with views to local shops and restaurants. Set up for work-at-home, we have high-speed internet and a work station overlooking a quiet street. across the street is a shared workspace for those who need more privacy. New landscaping, a garden sitting wall and seating; and Asian garden art line the stone pathway to the entrance to our little haven. New for fall of 2022 is a Solo Fire Pit for use in the garden and new Adirondack seating for four. Privacy fencing aesthetically separates our home from the new house next door. Soft garden & outdoor lighting guides you home at night.

This place was a gem. The location was great. We were 2-3 blocks from the Main Street and it was an easy walk to great restaurants. The space was on the second floor of a house. The house was clean, neat and well stocked with everything you need for cooking. (Even some condiments, cooking oils and sugar, and then some.)
It is a dog friendly place, however, we decided not to bring our pet because we wanted to celebrate some anniversary dinners out. I was a little nervous that the place may have had signs of past dogs (smell and hair), but there was no sign of past pets. It was clean and free of any signs of past animal stays. I regret not bringing my dog because she would have loved the large fenced in play area. She will come next time.
If you are looking for a nicely stocked, clean place and very close to town, then this is a great pick and the bed was comfy too. The shower may be a bit on the smaller side, but worked well with good water pressure.
We will return. Contact with the host was excellent.

After spending two nights in this rental, my mother and I had a hard time leaving.
The apartment is an absolute jewel box and the location, amenities, and overall cleanliness deserves a 100% recommendation!

My wife and I stayed for a week. It is the perfect size for two people. Everything was exactly as advertised. The kitchen was well-equipped and the furniture, paintings, decorations etc. were of good quality. It is located on a quiet side road that is only a hundred yards or so off of one of the main streets in Manchester Center. The apartment was clean and well-maintained. The parking is convenient. I give it 5 stars and recommend it highly.

Manchester ski getaway
We enjoyed a long weekend Vermont getaway. The place is cozy and perfect for four people. Hosts are responsive and accommodating. The kitchen was well stocked with all the necessities. Beds were comfortable. The place was very clean.
The place is very private; even though it’s a two family house we never saw our Neighbor and used different entrances.
Manchester is a charming town, and the house is close to the center, as well as skiing/hiking/cross country and dining.
We enjoyed our stay.
Thank you!

Cozy, artsy & convenient!
My husband & I stayed here for 2 weeks. We liked the privacy & having our own entrance (up stairs) and walking into town. Kitchen small but updated. Very clean & great being able to bring our lab dog.

Highly adequate
Wonderful updates in kitchen (open shelves, marble countertops, stainless appliances, mini-dishwasher, etc.), clean and comfortable bedding, nice-sized bedrooms, and convenient location. However, very squeaky floors (most noticeably sloped) and doors, cracked and sagging ceilings, very small/narrow stall shower, dim lighting, and a general “not fresh” odor. It worked for us but a recommendation would need to be qualified.
5.0
Wonderful and cozy spot in Manchester.
The apartment is very sweet - even in mud season. It's in a great location - can walk to everything you need and take a short drive to many activities. I would love to go back.

small space, large living
I was very impressed with the excellent use of a relatively small space. Every room felt more than large enough and very comfortably appointed. Galley kitchen had high end glasses, dishes and accessories for cooking any meal you would want. The living space was comfortable and well lit (reading was easy there). Each bedroom had a comfortable mattress, soft linens and room for clothing as well as reading lights. The bathroom had lovely towels and a good shower with good water pressure. There was also some really good art work throughout the space which added to the cozy, home-like atmosphere. The fenced area in back was a real bonus for my dog especially when we were packing and unpacking the car. The location could not have been better with everything within easy walking distance yet in a lovely tree-lined street. Would love to return to this rental.

Cozy and convenient
Great location and neighborhood in walking distance to restaurants and shops. Apartment was cute, cozy, clean and well stocked - just as pictured. The outdoor space and seating upstairs and downstairs was relaxing and the fenced dog run was a major bonus. Nancy was always quick to respond, accommodating and personable. I would stay in this little Manchester haven again!

Two night stay planned and paid if full. Booked well before Covid was a thing.Expected communication by owner to explain entry and other procedures prior to arrival. No communication. Called upon arrival, no answer, message box full. Text, no response. Stopped at address, did not attempt to break and enter. Past rentals I've used always use a lock box. Only communication was in January after booking where they stated further info as booking approaches.Assumed surely I would have received a message during my travels to Manchester on that day but I was mistaken. Looking back I should have reached out earlier but past experience never has been an issue. My honest thought was Covid got them! Called VRBO to discuss a refund. They contacted the owner and they replied by offering to book a new replacement date. Hope to book next year if my outing rebooks at the same location. In the future I will certainly reach out earlier, my bad as they use to say!No other remedy was offered.Sincerely submitted, Jack

Comfortable apartment right near everything
This two-bedroom apartment has been updated with modern appliances and many works of art. Although it is described as "cozy", it really didn't feel small for two adults and a large breed dog. The outside fenced-in doggie area is super convenient. The owners have thought of everything here: a water filter pitcher was on the counter clean and dry, we had a french press, various condiments and spices for cooking with, comfy beds, and plenty of towels. All we needed to enjoy our morning and evening beverages was coffee, cream, and a bag of ice. Even the Google chromecast was simple to use (for a first-time user). We enjoyed a long weekend walking around Manchester center and taking hikes and sightseeing, and this was a great place to come back to.

A home away from home.....
My family and I loved staying at this beautiful apartment . We were there for our nephews wedding weekend. We felt right at home. Plus we were so close to all the events we attended. I highly recommend this wonderful place.

Very cute, nice, clean place in a good location...
This little apartment is right in Manchester Center and is lovely. It's very charming and perfect for 2 people or possibly 2 couples, altho it might be a little tight with 4 people. Me and a friend stayed for a long weekend. We each had our own bedroom with VERY comfortable beds. The bathroom is clean, and has a shower only. FYI - the shower is tight. So if you're a larger/taller person, it could be an issue. The kitchen is small but again very clean. Has everything you need. You are very close to everything, i.e. shops and restaurants. We ate at Gringo Jacks one nite and loved it. And another nite we ate at Depot Street Burgers, also very good. We walked to both. And walked to many other places. Across the street is a Starbucks and some outlet shops.
Note: the TV...yes there is one, BUT you need to have the Google Home app on your phone in order to work the TV. As well as something like a Netflix or Hulu account. The TV has Google ChromeCast, which both me and my friend were not familiar with, so we had difficulty working the TV. It wasn't until a phone call with Google and the router being reset, that things finally worked. If you don't plan to watch TV then it's not an issue. Overall, I loved this place! And you can't beat the location for all things Manchester.

Great location!!!
Sadly we didn't get to stay because of lousy weather. Our hosts were so accommodating to our requests. Any time I needed to ask a question, they got back to me almost immediately.I am hoping we can stay for real next year!

Well appointed accommodations, convenient location, cozy; would stay again.
This property was as pictured, well appointed and in a good location. Quiet surroundings. Stayed here in February during a winter weather wind warning with gusts up to 55mph and the heat in the unit was more than adequate. In fact quite cozy. As well, the beds and all furniture are very comfortable. Linens and towels were fresh and unit is well appointed. Would love to see this unit add a microwave.
We did not hear back from our attempts to contact the owners through VM and text with a couple questions we had during the stay, which does not sound consistent with other guest experiences, so I do hope they are okay. I did speak with Nancy live prior to renting the unit though to be able to attest that she was lovely and very open to any question. All in all I would definitely recommend this rental to others and would like to stay again. A comfortable cozy feel to this property.

Convenient to everything, very walkable - everything you need for a cozy and comfortable stay in VT
My husband and I and our 2 children came for a weekend getaway and stayed at this apartment. Usually we stay at a hotel or B&B but this was such an amazing alternative. To have the space and conveniences of home made our stay even more enjoyable. Unfortunately we had one day of rain and after hitting a few shops we came back here, made dinner & watched movies. I can’t imagine being cooped up in 1 room at a hotel.
We really enjoyed our stay!
