Lovely, Comfortable Cottage with Fantastic Hosts

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful, cozy cottage in Dorset. It’s close to multiple ski mountains and the charming town of Manchester, and the hosts were super friendly and helpful. Check-in and check-out were easy, and the place was just as advertised.

We stayed at the Dorset Cottage Retreat for a long weekend in February. It was very comfortable for 2 parents, our teenager and our small dog. The cottage was cozy, clean and had everything we needed. The hosts were incredibly thoughtful and kind and we felt so well taken care of! It is very convenient to both Dorset and Manchester, Bromley and Stratton.

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!

Very cozy & warm little cottage which was lovely for my long weekend reset time. Upstairs laundry room was great, as was the garage. Centrally located, short drive to Manchester outlets and several winter activity resorts. Hosts were quite responsive, especially when I locked myself out. There was a welcoming gift when I arrived, and another when they found out I was up for my birthday.

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!

Perfectly situated

Upon arrival the adorable VT like red and black house is inviting once inside we felt right at home and sense of comfort relaxation and privacy. Backyard is spacious and our frenchies loved the stay as well. There is a hiking trail in the back fire pit which we did not take advantage of but was there. Met the owners who very kind and attentive over all a wonderful weekend. Definitely be back
