A Quinessential Vermont Home
Review Submitted: August 15, 2008

My husband and I have enjoyed the house on River Road (property number 191752) in Manchester 5 times now--in all four seasons. It is an impeccably maintained, quintessential Vermont home and, although it is relatively new, is built with old materials and authentic colonial design that is so indigenous to the Green Mountains. The house is extremely clean and well-appointmented with all the amenities (air conditioning, complete kitchen, etc) that provide the comforts of home. It is also beautifully decorated with well-chosen antique furniture and art, tastefully blended with new. The four-poster and canopy beds are impressively comfortable, with wonderful quality linens, down pillows and comforters. Each bathroom supplied with fresh towels and handmade soaps. The kitchen is as good a place to prepare dinner as can be, and much like home. A flat screen television with surround sound is available, but the library of interesting books and board games, along with a computer, are equally compelling on a vacation meant to calm and restore the soul.
The outdoor gardens with screened outbuilding, inspiring views of Hildene Meadow, towering pines are all part of the amazing charm and character of this house. Every season holds something special--early spring grass, daffodils and other blossoms, summer perennials and green meadow, fall colors, and--of course--winter snow.
This house is an excellent place to bring family and friends to reunite and have a good time together. It is also the perfect place to go for peace, renewal and solitude.
