This 9,000 square foot home includes free WiFi and satellite TV, 5 acres of woods and streams, a winterized large gazebo, and a soon t0 be completed large pond for swimming.

The Battenkill Valley Mansion is only half a mile from the Equinox hotel, but it feels a world away, surrounded by tall pines, and adjacent to the rolling fields of Hildene Meadow and the Battenkill River. Step outside your door for miles of scenic bike rides or runs along scenic River Road.

The historic Battenklill Valley mansion was built in 1904 as a wedding present for the daughter of the family who lived nearby at the Wilburton Inn.

About Melissa Levis

My wife and I purchased the Wilburton Inn Estate and Restaurant in 1987. It is our pleasure to have run the Wilburton Inn for the past 25 years. I am from Athens, Greece and my wife is from Brooklyn, NYC. We bought our first home in VT in 1972 because the mountains reminded me of my days at medical school in Switzerland. We love welcoming guests to our beautiful homes and sharing our love of Vermont with them. We welcome you to tour the art and sculptures on the ground.

Melissa Levis purchased this estate in 2002
Why Melissa Levis chose Manchester

This robber baron estate has evolved through the 20th century from a 400 acre private home - the largest estate in Manchester Village - to a prep school, to an inn and now to an inn that celebrates life as a farm, a bakery, and a museum advancing creativity to become the core of education. This is a spectacular private, grand estate where guests can relax in a private home and truly feel they are 'away from it all.'

What makes this estate unique

Tour our outdoor sculpture trains that show the history of love and the evolving images of women through cross cultural myths.

Visit our son's Earth Sky Time organic farm and bakery less than 3 miles from the house.

Great House for a Christmas Family Reunion

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Jan 28, 2010
  • Stayed: Dec 2009
This was a wonderful house for our week-long Christmas family reunion. The house was even larger and more comfortable than we had imagined from the pictures on the website. It easily accommodated our 20 family members with plenty of room to spare. The kids had plenty of room to spread out in their space, and the ping pong table in thegame room was a big hit.

The dining room was large enough for all of us to comfortably have dinner together every evening, and the fireplace in the dining room added to the festive atmosphere.

Dr. Levis is a very considerate and gracious host who made us feel right at home. Before we arrived, he had arranged to have a Christmas tree put up in the living room for us, and he checked in regularly to make certain that we were comfortable.

Manchester is a great place to visit. Lots of Vermont charm, an abundance of designer outlets and plenty of good skiing nearby.

We had a wonderful week and could have easily stayed longer.

Our 12th Family reunion

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Sep 29, 2012
  • Stayed: Aug 2012
We spent a full week here in August 2012 and can do nothing but rave about our experience. Had a total of 23 attending and each one felt very comfortable in their rooms and enjoyed the opportunities for recreation on site and in the area. Kayaking great a nearby Emerald Pond State campsite. Went to excellent theatre in nearby Weston and a side trip to the races in Saratoga was only about an hours drive. Our host and owner, Albert, was terrific and most welcoming and helpful when called upon. He owns the nearby B and B where we used the pool and tennis and he is a collector of some very interesting art. Big living room was the center for evening gatherings and a ping pong tourney in game room one of the highlights. Food shopping in Manchester easy to get to and outlets worth a visit but too much to do to spend time looking for bargains.

Family Gathering July 4 weekend

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Sep 23, 2011
  • Stayed: Jul 2011
The Mansion was terrific for our family gathering of 29 on July 4 weekend. The place was clean and the common rooms provided great space for smaller groups to play cards, ping pong, board games, etc. Also, the outdoor space was an added plus for whiffleball, babies in small pools and just sitting in a circle and enjoying the outdoors.

The only (slight) drawback was that the kitchen is dated. All in all the place easily handled our large group and I would definitely recommend this rental house.
Recommended for:  Families with Teenagers, Families with Young Children
Owner's Response: Is the kitchen dated?
yes and no. I will give you a description:
we do have three kitchens, one for cooking, one for drinks and sitting down for a group, and a third on the top floor apartment for convenience.
The first kitchen has two gas driven stoves with 8 top burners and two bottom stoves, two huge refrigerators and a triple sink and dishwasher. There is a cuisinart and many appliances around.
Dishes and silver are available for more than 30 people.
There is an antique woodburning stove in one corner and many cabinets with glasses and dishes that remind you of the old times. There is a pantry with more cabinets..
There is adequate countertop space which can be expanded as needed with the addition of table.
I recently painted the kitchen.
Overhead ventilation is good and many recessed lights,
All the same, I will continue my effort to improve the unit.

Great location for an amazing weekend ski getaway

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Feb 22, 2011
  • Stayed: Feb 2011
What do you do when 25 good friends all want to get away for an epic ski weekend? You rent this amazing mansion!

We were struggling to find a place that would accomodate us all, until we found Teleion Holon. Beautiful and spacious, this house served us perfectly. There is plenty of common space for relaxing and playing games and the fireplaces were great for keeping it cozy and warm. The bedrooms are all beautiful and each had its own feel to it - most even have attached sitting areas and private bathrooms! Also, The commercial size kitchen was well stocked, and great for cooking for so many people. We used the other downstairs kitchen for drinks and we didnt even need to use the third kitchen upstairs!

Best of all, the owner Albert was a pleasure to work with. He went above and beyond by giving us a short tour of the house and the artwork inside which he has curated and calls the Museum of the Creative Process. Very interesting, and gave us much more appreciation for the art in the house.

All in all, it was a great experience and I would highly recommend this house to anyone with a large group.

Owner's Response: The house has generated me many friends. Here is another group that upon leaving would like to book the place for next year.

There are two discrete features making hospitality special in this large house. These guests discovered both of them.

I acquired this house as a base for my son's organic farming and food production project, but also to utilize the building for educational retreats on the creative process. Although my son's farm has been moved to another location where it is thriving and expanding beyond a local CSA to a regional manufacturer of a range of culinary delights, from outstanding breads and popular vegiburgers, to garlicly spiced humus and pesto, I am interested in preserving the building as a bastion for agritourism so young people can discover farm life and occasional guests experience VT as a real countryside destination. As far as the educational mission, I am publishing a book on the exhibits of the Museum of the Creative Process, one of which is the Gorski Retrospective, housed at the Teleion Holon mansion.

I thank you for enjoying the visit and look forward to your return.
Regards,
Albert

We had a magnificent weekend gathering of 18 family members for a 50th Wedding Anniversary celebration. The mansion has lots of character with many wonderful artifacts and stunning architectural elements.

We all stayed for two nights and enjoyed the many amenities such as the commercial quality kitchen, expansive dining room, large game area, impressive family room, numerous well-kept bedrooms and bathrooms, etc. All family members (from young children to grandparents) had something to do from enjoying the wonderful game room to relaxing in the comfortable family room. At night we used two of the many fireplaces to provide a spectacular festive atmosphere.

The grounds and also the views are simply breath-taking. Dr. Albert Levis, the owner, is very gracious and was very accommodating to our needs.

There are many activities to enjoy in the area including skiing, lots of shopping options, enjoying spectacular mountain views, restaurants, sightseeing and much more.

We would highly recommend this place to any family or gathering of any type.
