9 Reviews of Property 104693 in Manchester, Vermont

This chalet is still in superb condition. My wife and I stayed here 15 years ago before we got marrried and just recently came back with our kids. We had a blast. Manchester is only about 10 minutes down the road. The hot tub and fireplace were very relaxing at all times of the day. The house now has direct tv which was nice. The house has tons of room for a chalet (3 levels). 4 bedrooms have queen size beds and then there is a bedroom for the kids that has 2 bunk beds (4 mattresses). The kids absolutely loved it. There is also a pull out couch downstairs that could be used for a bed. Tons of activites to do in Manchester (new ice skating rink, outlet shops, skiing, restaurants etc.).We can't wait to go back !! Great trip !!

We had a wonderful time at the Log Chalet. The home was clean and had everything we needed. The bedrooms were comfortable and quiet. Everyone loved the hot tub. The pool table was great entertainment for our teenaged kids. We had dinners in Manchester (10 min drive) and skied each day at Bromley. Great location. Easy to get to both locations. Owner was very accommodating.

Basically furnished chalet in a wooded setting 12 minutes from Manchester and 20 from Bennington. Very roomy and comfortable for two or more couples with or without chiidren. Pet friendly. Owner was very responsive to two minor issues that arose during the stay and were resolved. Large Jacuzzi on deck is definite plus as is the pool table, two flat screen tv's and a spinet for those diligent to practice. Excellent location for fly fishing and skiing. Would recommend highly but could benefit by better indoor lighting..

Our party of 8 adults arrived January 23, 2009 for a ski weekend.

Pro's: Chalet style property with traditional open floor plan, 5 bedrooms, on 3 floors, 4 have queen size beds, the 5th has(two) bunk beds. Good for adults and those visiting with kids. The hot tub on deck is very nice. Two flat screen tv's one on the 1st floor is wall mounted for use in the room with the pool table, the other also wall mounted on the second floor in the 'great room', Good cell service, and WIFI reception for laptop computers. Lovely functional fieldstone fireplace.

Con's: Property not cleaned, cobwebs and dust on every surface: walls, furniture,floors, the phone book on the coffee table looked like it had a fur cover. Black mold inside the shower on the 3rd floor and water damage (mildew and mold) visible on the floor beside the shower next to the toilet.

Owner did not advise of the poor condition of the pool table; there are no pockets and who ever decided plastic tumblers shoved into the pockets was an acceptable solution has questionable problem solving skills. Either way, they did little to improve functionality, but we did get a good laugh out of the "repair."

The pictures of the property provided are very dated and the location is listed in Manchester, which is also misleading, it is in Sunderland. All of the sofas/chairs are all in poor condition having holes and threadbare. The table in kitchen has been replaced; however, at best there is room for 6 regular size adults, not 12 as indicated.

Bedding should be replaced, blankets/quilts/sheets all pilly, faded and uncomfortable, very unappealing.

The flatscreen TV's are new but there is no cable or local TV reception.

Owner under-estimated distance/time to Manchester and ski areas. Manchester is 15 minutes and ski resorts are 30 to 45 minutes in good weather. Inclimate conditions could easily add 15 to 40 minutes to commute.

Hot tub was nice, however, the deck had not been shoveled making access difficult and dangerous. The shovel left on the deck was broken and there was a large ashtray left on the deck over flowing with cigarette butts.

In all, good company made for a great weekend and the dust might have been easier to over look if there weren't so many other issues. The Log Chalet has the potential to be very charming, so much so that it would be worth being slightly out of the way. Sorry, but there are too many negatives to recommend to others in good conscience.

It does not get any better. So quiet and relaxing.

I was part of a group of 8 who went up early this summer. The house is big and clean with plenty of room to hang out and relax. The house has a great wraparound deck with a brand new jacuzzi. One of the guests left some items behind and the owner was very quick and courteous in getting them back to us. I would definitely recommend the house to anyone heading up to the Manchester area.
