Couldn't have asked for anything more

Coming all the way from Austria to see our friends getting married in beautiful Vermont, we could not imagine a better place for our stay.
Even though the house was full – we used every available bed - there was plenty of space for both, socialising and having some time on your own. We really enjoyed chilling at the fire place and listening to the huge collection of albums.
The house was perfectly equipped, so that we could even host the post-wedding-day dinner for 19 people!
If ever any other close friends decide to celebrate their wedding in Manchester, we would definitely come back to the Isham house!

I highly recommend the Isham house. We stayed for a week in August and could not have asked for a nicer place to stay. The house is very well appointed and it was spotless upon our arrival. The owners make sure that guests have everything they could possibly need, from clean linens and towels to kitchen staples to maps of the area. Jed was extremely pleasant and made the reservation process very easy. He even called our first night at the house to make sure everything was in order when we arrived. We have been to the Manchester area many times throughout the years and this definitely is one of the nicest places we've stayed. It was a completely stress-free experience from beginning to end!

We stayed at the house over the fourth of July weekend, and it was a huge hit with my in-laws and kids. The house was not only well appointed for both adults and kids alike, but Jed and Judith went above and beyond to make sure our stay was comfortable. The layout of the house allows plenty of space for everyone...we never felt like we were living on top of each other! We fell in love with the fire pit in the backyard, celebrating the 4th with a good old fashioned bonfire complete with s'mores and sparklers. We also enjoyed our short drive to the Dorset farmer's market. We purchased a small feast of locally grown produce and meat while enjoying the music and browsing handmade crafts. Our only regret was not having another few days to explore the area. We will definitely consider booking a week during the winter to enjoy the slopes!

My friends and I stayed at the Isham house this past weekend and had a blast. The place is huge. It is one of the best places I've stayed. It is clean and comfortable. Couldn't have asked for more. Would definitely recommend it to friends. From booking the place to getting the deposit back, Jed has been most helpful throughout the entire process.

we spent presidents week at the isham house with our friends. 4 adults and 5 kids, 10 and under. there was more than enough room for all of us. we have stayed in many rental homes in manchester and this was by far the most well-equipped, spacious, convenient, and comfortable, not to mention fun! we cannot say enough good about the house and location as well as the owner jed. we would go back tomorrow if we could! thanks jed.

We stayed at the Isham House in August the week of our wedding and we could not have made a better choice. The location was amazing right in the heart of Manchester and right next to great attractions including the Hildene and Mt. Equinox. The owner obviously takes great pride in his beautiful home and could not have been more accommodating. He gave us great tips on places to go and even ideas for where to have a wedding brunch. The home was amazing, it was very well maintained with many modern conveniences including a jacuzzi in the master bath. The house was big enough to accommodate a large family and so nice that our family members who were staying at other rentals jumped ship to bunk with us! We are so grateful for the great experience we had staying here and for Jed's hospitality, it really laid the foundation for a great week! Thank you Jed!

As my wife died this year, I could not host Christmas this year at my home. The Carriage House was a wonderful thought. My family loved the amenities, the kindness implicit in the little things that show a thoughtfulness unique to this unseen host. There was even food in the fridge and in the cupboard. My family will return again. Ed

This is a wonderful house. It has charm with wood plank floors, a wood stove and an interesting floorplan. But it also has comfort, something often lacking in the more "charming" rental houses. It is wonderfully appointed with comfortable furniture, quality linens, a fully stocked kitchen, and a fun "play room." Our kids loved the many children's books, movies and foosball table. The owners were very helpful, setting us up with everything we needed for the baby, including a pack and play and a high chair. The house is situated close to the road, so you do hear a bit of traffic, but it was never a problem, and truthfully, "traffic" in Manchester basically meant a snow plow going by every few hours. The house is located really close to everything...we skiied, ice skated, went sledding at the local high school hill, ate out, outlet shopped, went on a sleigh ride...you name it, you can find it nearby. We highly recommend the house to anyone...especially a family with children.
