Nestled in 8 wooded acres along the Bourn Brook, the loft is perfect for those who want to be close to Manchester shops, yet in a secluded private setting for reading, enjoying nature or sitting around a camp fire with family and friends. Want to hike? The Lye Brook Wilderness and AT trails are less than a mile from the house.

Great property.

Great place for exploring the Manchester area. Private, but not too far from town. Wonderful views of trees and nature from the patio and expansive windows.

Great location very isolated and quiet.
Awesome entertainment options in the house as well!

Just a few minutes from Manchester Center, the house and property provided a quiet, restful place to catch up with an old friend. We appreciated the high ceilings and lots of windows but the main floor rooms could use additional electrical lights --even after we located all the wall switches for kitchen area. The walkout basement with couch and tv provided the most comfortable seating and lighting for reading.

This property was exactly as listed. It was a cute cabin-style house with a lot of natural lighting and was very clean.

House was as described and in a beautiful location close to everything!! The only thing we didn't realize is that there was no cable television, but that was a minor item. House was well maintained, and had access to a brook as well as forest views. Would definitely consider renting again!!

3 adults and one infant stayed in this home and it was very comfortable! We went to a wedding at the West Mountain Inn and the property was just about 20 min away- perfect. Hosts were prompt in replying to inquiries and providing information about our stay. There is plenty of room for 2 families! Down a nice long driveway- not right on the road. Set in the woods with great views of the trees- extremely tranquil.
While our stay was great I would not recommend this house for people with young children. There are a few spots in the house that need attention if a small child would be staying in the home. The second floor has two good size areas that are open without railings that a small child could easily fall through. There is no door on the staircase leading to the basement where there is a living area- you would need to bring a baby gate if you had a walking toddler. The staircase doesn’t have a full railing either which isn’t ideal for children or people that have limited mobility.
Overall the house is great and worked for us since our daughter isn’t walking. I would recommend it to families with children of ages 4+ at least.
