Just like staying at Grandma's house
Everything was super clean and comfy, and some of the furniture was evocative of a different time, like Grandma's house. I do think the house could use some minor updates, tho, (i.e. new faucets in sinks and shower). The location is top-notch for enjoying the Village!

Cozy Cottage
I booked this cottage to stay with 3 friends for a wedding held at the Equinox Resort, which was less than a block away. The cottage is very charming and a short walk/driving distance to the downtown Manchester area. After an issue with the WiFi upon arrival, Matt was very responsive and we were able to come to a solution. The cottage, while cozy, was a bit small for 4 adults sharing one bedroom (we knew this upon booking due to the proximity to our destination). I would definitely book with Storied Stay again if I return to Vermont.

Summer stay in Manchester
Nice house. Although there was no AC downstairs, there was a beautiful breeze and a fan so it was lovely. Excellent location just a few houses down from the Equinox and a 2 minute drive to the Equinox trailhead.

Lovely
The cottage is lovely and conveniently located. It was comfortable, relaxing and very quiet - even being on Route 7A. It was perfect for our vacation - hiking in the area, visits with friends and family, Hildene, shopping and a day trip. It was nice to be able to come back and unwind before going out for dinner or have the option to cook. We would definitely stay at the Lyman Cottage again!

The cottage was cozy and great for 2 people. Property was spotless. It was very H&H when we arrived, and the window A/C upstairs cooled the whole cottage. Location was perfect.

Loved Lyman Cottage
The property is spotless....the location ideal. It's in a beautiful neighborhood and one that is highly walkable. There are great restaurants nearby. We have stayed in Manchester before but never enjoyed it as much as we did at Lyman Cottage. Thank you!! We will return.

We loved the location, a short walk to dining and shopping. The cottage is set back from the road so it's a peaceful setting. All in all a great place for a vacation in southern, VT.
