As soon as we entered Miner’s Cottage we felt at home. This historic home offered spacious gathering rooms whether reading, completing a puzzle or relaxing with a glass of wine. Everyone felt comfortable and thoroughly enjoyed their stay. The Christmas tree and other tasteful decorations carried the holiday spirit. The snowfall added to the overall picturesque beauty of our visit.

We cannot say enough positive things about our stay at Miner Cottage. The house is rich with history and exudes character and charm in every room. The check-in process was a sinch, and the house was immaculate upon arrival. It definitely lives much larger than it appears in the pictures. Rick was a pleasure and super on top of all of our correspondence. Our only regret was we did not stay for longer. We will definitely book again!

Perfect stay!

Our family traveled to Manchester to celebrate our son's weekend wedding. Minor Cottage was absolutely perfect for our stay. The house is filled with history and charm, and the location just can't be beat. Clean, spacious, well stocked with all amenities. Everything was tremendous and Rick was so attentive and helpful throughout the booking process. If your plans call for Manchester VT with a large group - this is the place!! We will definitely be back!

absolutely perfect Vermont home!

We booked Rick's home for an extended family ski vacation with grandparents and grandkids, and the home completely exceeded our group's expectations. It's a beautiful mix of a classic historic Vermont home with space and amenities to meet a modern family's needs. The first floor offered more than enough space for kids to play and roam, and the bedrooms were clean, spacious and comfortable. Location was ideal- right next to the Equinox and very close to town- perfect for the non-skiers and for picking up food. Rick was one of the most accommodating hosts we've experienced. Incredibly communicative, accommodating, and thoughtful touches throughout the home and process. Thank you! We are definitely hoping to stay again!

Miner Cottage was everything!!

We rented beautiful, historic Miner Cottage for our daughter’s rescheduled wedding at Hildene. The layout and space in the house made it so comfortable and convenient when bridesmaids were primping, people were socializing and constantly stopping by. We had friends and family staying all over Manchester and our central location made everything go so smoothly. The house is absolutely lovely, the gardens are my dream and the kitchen has all the essentials. We will never forget our once in a lifetime experience and will always have a spot in our hearts for this gem of a home.

A beautiful home creates a lovely environment for a Christmas Prelude

Our family spent the weekend at Miner Cottage to celebrate the season. The antique house is being lovingly restored by Rick Anderson. The rooms are large with a soothing palette throughout that honors classic traditions. Rick has redone bathrooms, added contemporary appliances in the kitchen and laundry, included new bedding and wall-mounted TVs. All told, he has successfully married vintage elegance with modern-day requirements. A great heating system, a wonderful gas range and plenty of glasses, dishes, platters make entertaining a breeze. We loved the house and felt really comfortable there – we will definitely return!
