Quiet home on outskirts of Manchester

Excellent value in affluent quiet area. Check in was only flaw due to lock code not working and lack of shoveling on 50 ft walkway ( was done following morning but subsequent snow wasnt) .Home was cozy perfect for my dog and I.Nice cleared sidewalks with marble inlays allowed short walk to equinox falcon lounge access to 9pm 5 minutes to Mulligans irish pub with Excellent food. 15 to downtown area coffee, groceries,restaurants. 20 minutes to Bromley Mt,40 to Stratton Hest works well actually had to keep low at night to sleep comfortably. This old residence has been renovated very well with new windows, seems insulated. Furniture could be updated but a nice wide-screen with sound bar and plenty of viewing options made up for itWould stay again

Just like staying at Grandma's house

Everything was super clean and comfy, and some of the furniture was evocative of a different time, like Grandma's house. I do think the house could use some minor updates, tho, (i.e. new faucets in sinks and shower). The location is top-notch for enjoying the Village!

Cozy Cottage

I booked this cottage to stay with 3 friends for a wedding held at the Equinox Resort, which was less than a block away. The cottage is very charming and a short walk/driving distance to the downtown Manchester area. After an issue with the WiFi upon arrival, Matt was very responsive and we were able to come to a solution. The cottage, while cozy, was a bit small for 4 adults sharing one bedroom (we knew this upon booking due to the proximity to our destination). I would definitely book with Storied Stay again if I return to Vermont.

Lovely

The cottage is lovely and conveniently located. It was comfortable, relaxing and very quiet - even being on Route 7A. It was perfect for our vacation - hiking in the area, visits with friends and family, Hildene, shopping and a day trip. It was nice to be able to come back and unwind before going out for dinner or have the option to cook. We would definitely stay at the Lyman Cottage again!
