Awesome Spot

This home was in such a cool location. The mountain in the backyard with trails was awesome for hiking. The house itself was super clean and very inviting. The owner was excellent with communication. You couldn’t ask for more in a VRBO!

Wonderful Vermont Getaway

My family and some extended family went for a weekend getaway to visit friends who lived near-by in Dorset. The house was beautiful and exactly like it is described in the listing. Our host Susan was wonderful, she was quick to answer any questions i had and left us some delicious muffins .

Snowy Ski Family Weekend with dogs

This beautiful cottage and its wonderful owner were both amazing. The cottage is roomy, welcoming, well maintained, clean. well stocked and a perfect getaway. The owner asked what time we were going skiing, and then had the driveway cleared for us. Communication with the owner was easy and immediate. We highly recommend this home!

Perfect leaf peeping weekend

The Cozy Cottage was warm and spotless with everything we needed for comfortable weekend. The host was so friendly and accommodating and even had supplies for our dog. The location was quiet and peaceful. There were lots of places to hike . Manchester had good stores and restaurants. This is one of our favorite VRBO homes!

Fairy dust

It really did feel like someone had sprinkled fairy dust over this gorgeous cottage. It’s just stunning. Beautiful crockery, bedding and interiors. Short drive to Manchester which worked well for us even on the snowy days. Susan was very helpful. We would love to return one day.

Summer In Vermont

Our family of four had an amazing time staying at the Cottage. Susan was a fantastic host and went out of her way to help us feel at home. The Cottage was even better in person, and the area exceeded our (lofty) expectations. We are already dreaming about coming again next summer (if not sooner).

Beautiful location, great hosts

We had a lovely week at the cottage. It’s wonderfully laid out and comfortable… with its own secluded space but not toooo far from things. The house is well appointed with the basics, and set up for easy finding. Plus, it’s far enough from the traffic of Manchester, which for us was a bonus. A prefect spot.

Perfect Cottage

Tucked away off the beaten path we were able to experience a true Vermont feeling. Enjoyed a great hike behind the home too. Home was very very clean and had everything we needed. Just felt like the perfect Vermont experience. Was close to the town of Manchester which is amazing. Owner was so kind and responsive and even offered to let me borrow a pair of fancy shoes for a wedding we were going too!

Charming is an understatement . . . we all felt like we were living in a dream cottage. Quiet location with stunning views, story-book decorating and attention to detail, nothing lacking in the amenities and household supplies. The wives didn't want to leave.....

About the host

Hosted by Susan Howard

Host profile image
I have been hosting for over seven years and I am extremely proud of the consecutive five star ratings of my cottage. I value the quality of your stay and your investment to be there. I keep the cottage extremely clean, and make sure to update the bedding, replace pillows 2-3 times a year, and have the entire interior deep cleaned twice per year.

The fully equipped kitchen allows for every cooking need, along with a fully stocked laundry room. I enjoy knowing that guests will never run out of any paper product, and have the "medicine" cabinet in the master bathroom full of many things you many need or have forgotten to pack.

I have many types of teas for you to enjoy, along with other items for coffee, and always have something delicious baked goods there for you when you arrive.

I know how it feels to look forward to a stay away from home, and my goal is to have your expectations meet my own!

What makes this property unique

If you can kindly take the time to read through the reviews, I think this will help you envision your stay at the cottage.
