Charming pet-friendly, Meadow View Cottage in heart of historic Dorset VT!

We are the owners and caretakers of this pet-friendly cozy cottage in the heart of Dorset, Vermont, and we take a lot of pride in offering a super clean, super cozy, and welcoming space for getaways to our beautiful state. The cottage is just steps to Dorset shops, inns and bakery, and minutes to Manchester Center for shopping, dining, and local attractions. Gather around the gas fireplace, enjoy Meadow and mountain views and relax in country style! Cottage features a master bedroom with queen bed and ensuite full bath, and a guest bedroom with queen bed and ensuite half bath, fully equipped eat-in kitchen and off-street parking. Pets must be crated if left alone in the house; crates can be provided. There are so many wonderful things to do in Southern Vermont in every season! In summer hike the many trails throughout the lush Green Mountains; take a plunge at the historic Dorset Quarry; go trailriding with experienced guides at Chipman Stables; canoe the Battenkill River; experience the thrills of Bromley Mountain's alpine slide and ropes course; take in a concert or see the lastest exhibits at the Southern Vermont Arts Center; experience world-class plays at the Dorset Playhouse; and enjoy the many delicious dining options in Dorset and surrounding towns. Winter brings skiing at any of the many resorts near by and charming holiday decorations in Dorset and Manchester. Fall is foliage time, when the colors blaze spectacularly across the forests! And Spring is...well, it's mud season! But also, the flowers are starting to bloom, and baby animals arrive at the farms in the area. And you never know, you might get a last chance at some fantastic spring skiing! We hope you come visit!

The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a sofa bed.

We LOVED our stay at this adorable cottage in Dorset. The cottage is clean, cozy and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. You can’t beat the location - walking distance to Dorset attractions (we loved the bakery) and close to Bromley and Stratton for skiing during the day. My girls were sad to leave. We’re already looking forward to visiting again. Thank you, Nicole!!

Dog friendly cottage in Dorset

My husband and I stayed at the cottage with our black lab while visiting family in Dorset. The house is located in the village but is quite private and has a nice meadow behind for anyone with a dog. Everything was perfect and Nicole was very accommodating. We hope to stay again.

Amazing stay!

We came to stay at Nicole’s for a family wedding nearby and absolutely loved it. The house is so cute, situated on a quiet and picturesque street, and was a perfectly cozy for a fall getaway. Our dog loved running around the expansive field in the back that backs up to a mountain that was popping with fall colors. The house provided the calm we needed for dealing with a chaotic family weekend!

Cozy Cottage Vibes

The host put a lot of thought into the space, with a cute gift of local maple syrup, a binder full of nearby things to do and restaurants, and overall the space was clean and well maintained. Nice historic location, we had fun walking around the town. This was a fun stay as we drove up for the solar eclipse and drove to our viewing area the next morning. Minus 1 star, because though the home did appear clean, there did seem to be a kitchen mouse. Made the property owner aware of this issue.

Lovely stay for a winter ski weekend

We had a fantastic stay at this very cute, clean cottage right in Dorset. A very short drive from Manchester and not far at all from a number of ski mountains, we enjoyed all the communication & recommendations from the host, Nicole. It's a very dog friendly house so the pups that joined us on our trip were able to go out back in the fenced in area, and the local streets/area provided great opportunity for walks. Would certainly stay here again & appreciate the cozy atmosphere that was perfect for 2 couples looking for a VT weekend getaway!

Perfect Retreat

We stayed for a lovely week over Christmas. The house is the best equipped rental I have ever stayed in - tons of little details (from spices to laundry soap to dog treats) and provisions to feel right at home. The fireplace provided a perfect place to warm up after a day on the slopes and the beds were super comfy. We can’t wait to go back!

Perfect location in Dorset!

My family of four enjoyed a lovely time at this clean and updated charming cottage. Beds are comfortable and large eat in kitchen. Our host Nicole was very responsive, but not intrusive. The location is walking distance to the Dorset bakery and the amazing Dorset inn (great dinners)! Easy under 15 minutes drive to downtown Manchester and 30 minute drive to Stratton. The neighborhood is quiet and we enjoyed walks around the area. Highly recommend!

Quaint Fully Equipped Cottage

We loved this place. I brought my elderly parents here for Thanksgiving with family who live in Dorest. Perfect for my folks because there are no stairs. It was close (walking distance) to our family hosting Thanksgiving and all the cute stores in Dorest. And Manchester is just a short drive away. Loved how the cottage bedrooms had their own bathroom, with the master bathroom having a large safe walk in shower. The kitchen (and the whole cottage) is fully equipped with everything you need and then some. It was super clean and so welcoming. Nicole was very responsive to my questions and requests prior to check and was more than accommodating. Highly recommend the place and will book again for future stays.

We very much enjoyed our stay. The accommodations were very tasteful yet comfortable. We had everything we needed to cook a Thanksgiving meal for family and friends. Our dog enjoyed the deck and small fenced yard. The property was within walking distance of very nice shops and restaurants and only 5-6 miles to all of the shopping and activities in Manchester Center. We hope to have an opportunity to stay again. Thank you, Nicole!
