Cozy Comfort, Rich History, in a Great Location
This is the second time we have stayed at a Storied Stay property and will keep coming back! The Novel house is a well appointed historic home. It has a cozy comfort with classic modern features (updated kitchen and bathrooms, laundry on the same floors as the bedrooms). It is perfect for one couple, two couples or a small family. The convenient location in walking distance to wonderful restaurants, hiking trails and a short drive to prime skiing are also a plus. Hands-down, this property is a must stay!

High Quality VRBO
Beautifully updated and maintained. Thoughtful attention to quality details (kitchen items, library, puzzles, radiant heat in bathroom floors, plush bedding, spices, soaps, etc). We skied at Stratton and enjoyed wandering around Manchester.

Charming location and comfortable place
A friend and I stayed here for a weekend of hiking and taking in the fall foliage. Great location, 3 houses away from Equinox resort. Clean and lots of thoughtful touches. Only disappointment was the challenge in the Smart TV not recognizing the WiFi and no one to come by and fix it. We were looking forward to some movie watching and after several reports via email, text and phone, it wasn’t fixed during our stay.
