Charming Vermont Home on 7 Acres w/Hot Tub, Pond, Bonfire Pit & 3 Fireplaces!

We had an amazing stay at this Vermont home! The house was spotless, beautifully maintained, and incredibly comfortable. It had everything we needed, from a well-equipped kitchen to cozy living spaces that made it easy to relax after a day out. The setting was peaceful and scenic, with classic Vermont charm and beautiful surroundings. The hosts were responsive and helpful, making the entire experience seamless. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a perfect Vermont getaway!

Owlswood is a beautiful, spacious home perfect for a relaxed gathering with family and friends. The quintessential Vermont experience. Virtually everything needed to entertain or just relax has been thought of. Stunning views! The owner was very responsive, guiding and proactive throughout.

Suzanne is an excellent host

A wonderful property and an outstanding host!

Suzanne was an excellent communicator who made the entry and exit process a breeze. She was kind enough to offer local restaurant suggestions, hiking options ( both on her property and nearby), shopping recommendations and even her favorite coffee brewing hacks. Her home -Owlswood - was clean, warm, comfortable, roomy ( !!) and incredibly well stocked with everything that my family could ever need during our long MLK weekend stay. The hot tub, the mountain views, the pond, the outdoor fire pit, the babbling brook, the property and the nearness of charming Dorset made Owlswood a place that I was sad to leave but one that I will surely return to in the future.

Incredible communication and collaboration with the owner. Felt much more like we were staying at a relatives house then a cold/transactional rental unit.

We enjoyed this great property for the Thanksgiving Weekend, it is set up for large groups with multiple living areas. Nice big fireplace!

There are 9 (NY9) ladies who run away twice a year together, and for the last 4 autumns Owlswood has been our sanctuary. We are home away from home.Suzanne is an amazing hostess providing for our every need. We love it so much , we have already booked 2026. TY Suzanne !

The kitchen was wonderfully equipped though a but small of us five adults all trying to cook at the same time. We loved the fireplace and the great dry firewood. The host was hugely helpful. We had a fabulous time, all five siblings.

We have been staying at Suzanne’s lovely home for over 10 years and every time we go back we remember why. This was the first time we went when it was warm and it was still and amazing time. The grounds are expertly tended to and the outdoor activities were abundant. We had such a great time making delicious meals and relaxing in the great room. Suzanne had reached out multiple times with information and great suggestions; she’s the best host!Looking forward to our next stay!

This house was fabulous. So many wonderful supplies and essentialsSuzanne was wonderful to work with and promptly answered allQuestions. Great for a large group. Her attention to detail was exceptional. We can’t wait to go back and stay

Owlswood is a beautiful property. The house is spacious and well equipped, best house we have ever rented. The grounds are lovely, we enjoyed the deck and the patio with the view of the garden and the mountains as the sun went down. We loved paddling in the pond and playing croquet. This was our second visit and we hope to return.

We enjoyed our stay at Owlswood. Suzanne has thought of everything. The kitchen is the best equipped kitchen that we have ever seen in a vacation rental. The house also has outdoor activity equipment and everything you could ask for in a vacation rental. Suzanne is easily reachable and very pleasant to work with. This is our third time at this house and we will definitely stay there again.

Suzanne was a fantastic host, very communicative and helpful. The house is beautiful, the area lovely and there’s so much to do on the property that my 2 great nephews and my great niece were thrilled (and they’re all teenagers). Hot tub, fishing pond, fire pit and badminton. Don’t miss the nearby attractions, including The Quarry for swimming and Robert Todd Lincoln’s estate Hildene, now a museum home.

It was the best vacation, just like always

We always love staying at Owlswood!!!

3 generation of our family stayed at Owlswood for a week. After 3 years in a row, it's now a family tradition!! We love everything about Owlswood. We swam in the pond, used the fire pit for s'mores, enjoyed the hot tub and I could go on and on. We travel from Western PA, Madison, WI and Boston, MA to be together.

We had a wedding to attend and we had the joy of doing all the flowers. Also our good friend was graduating from the VT Police Academy. The house was a great place to have everybody stay,gather, celebrate and relax for the weekend. Also the outside space allowed for us to get the flowers ready and arranged. The house was clean, exceptionally well equipped, a beautiful outdoor space, and large enough to house us all. The fireplace helped keep us warm with on the rainy day. And providing wood for us to use was so kind.

Suzanne is a great host and the house and location are unbeatable for a Manchester/Dorset getaway!

Suzanne’s home and property are everything you want and more! The house was amazing and the yard was excellent. My kids had a great time using the volleyball court and finding newts in the pond. We were even visited my two deer one early morning while enjoying the back deck! We will absolutely stay here again. Suzanne was so easy to communicate with and quickly answered all my questions. Thank you so much Suzanne!

My wife Darcy and I and our dogs stayed in Suzanne's house and it was everything we wanted. The house is easy to navigate, with a fully stocked kitchen. And the setting is spectacular, watching the sun rise and set over the mountains, wirh a running stream, trails and even a pond. Suzanne is a gracious host, with recommendations for local attractions and restaurants. She even went out of her way to speak with her groundskeeper as she knew I like to fish and had her groundskeeper have rods and tackle ready for us! We would definitely recommend for all families. Thanks Suzanne! From Chester, Darcy and our dogs who give it paws up!

Our weekend at the Owlswood was fantastic. The house was spotless, well stocked and huge. There was enough room for our large family to spread out, although we spent most of our time in front of the fireplace. Our host, Suzanne, couldn't be more accomodating. She was great from the first contact right through checkin/out. Her directions and helpful suggestions for what to do besides skiing were very much appreciated. The property was expansive and well maintained. We enjoyed walking around by the pond and streams. Our grandchildren loved making pinecone rafts and watching them sail downstream. Don't even have to comment on the tree swing or hot tub, they were fun for the kids and so relaxing for the big kids. It would be great to be back during the summer months. Thanks for sharing your home with us.

The home had a lot of great amenities, and was well stocked for cooking and entertaining!

Our winter home away from home never fails to live up to its wonderful ambiance. And Suzanne is a most gracious hostess. Owls Head has every convenience of your own home plus the outdoor beauty and activities of the Vermont terrain. The food and shops are lovely. The ambience warm and cozy. We are always sad to say goodbye. Thank you to Suzanne and the fantastic crew that keep Owls Head perfect .

Our group of 10, primarily in our late 50s, just returned from an amazing long weekend at Owlshead. The online photos are spot on. The house is expansive with a bedroom wing and an open great room, dining area and a well-equipped kitchen, go beyond this area and you have lots more living space including a tiered living room, dining room, sunroom with wet bar. The acreage around the property is stunning with a large fire pit, pond, sledding hills, outdoor hot tub with a lovely view.We did not have enough time to maximize it all. We skied Magic Mtn and Bromley, explored some of Manchester and Dorset, went sledding and thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub after these activities. We were fortunate to be there for 10 inches of snow which added to the beauty of Owlshead.Suzanne, the owner, could not have been nicer, communicative and provided better suggestions - thank you so much!

This property is sprawling and so is the house. So much space to spread out. The location is superior, 3 miles from Manchester Center and so close to Bromley. Host is easily accessible. Highly recommend!

Our family stayed for a winter getaway. We had everything we needed to be comfortable, to cook and share meals, to play outside, relax by the fire after enjoying the jacuzzi. The home is just beautiful, and located centrally so we could come and go to enjoy skiing, ice-skating, shopping and local restaurants. Suzanne was an amazing host, she was so helpful. Our family is convinced she may be related to Martha Stewart. Thank you for giving our family everything we needed for our family get-away. We definitely want to come back, and maybe enjoy a different season at the Owlswood Home in Dorset.

Our week at Owlswood was wonderful. The house was perfect with plenty of room for 6 adults and 3 young kids to spread out play, cook and rest. The property is a huge bonus with a sweet little pond, trails through the woods, sloping open spaces perfect for sledding after a Thanksgi snowstorm. There were plenty of kitchen supplies and cooking equipment for a family of cooking enthusiasts. The hot tub was fun for the adults at the end of the day. Suzanne was very helpful with suggestions for things to do in and around Dorset and Manchester. Highly recommend booking Owlswood for a special stay in a beautiful area of Vermont.

We are a group of 9 ,60 + aged friends who make an annual trip “home” to Owlswood. This is our fifth annual stay and we already have reservations for next fall. Suzanne is a wonderful hostess, providing everything you could possibly need for a wonderful stay and a beautiful home. Many thanks, Suzanne..

our group of women have been renting homes for the past 19 years and this truly was the best ever! the many reasons were well captured in the last several reviews : stunning property, beautiful, spacious home, best equipped, perfect weather, so many fun things to do on the gorgeous property that we didn't have time to do them all, so we've already made plans to return next year! suzanne was truly amazing ! have never had a host so easy and fun to communicate with, so thorough with her information, so attentive with suggestions during our stay of things to do and see. a wonderful find!!

A great area for any family, we had 3 family’s 6 adults and 5 kids and this house was perfect. We used the fire pit, hot tub, fishing in the pond. We also went to Emerald state Park Beach, this was a huge hit with the kids, the Dorset Union General Store pie was excellent. We also got pizza from Christos in Manchester! Would highly recommend this house to everyone! The area was perfect.

This is the best stocked house we've ever been in. Everything from cookware, condiments, and spices to baby gates and portacribs. The owner was available for questions and comments as well as the caretaker within minutes of the property if we needed them. There is plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the inside and the outside of the property. My 2 year-old niece learned how to fish in the catch and release pond as a bonus! Thank you for letting us stay at your beautiful property.

We recently stayed at this stunning property in Vermont, and I can't say enough good things about it. The house is absolutely beautiful—immaculately clean, thoughtfully decorated, and equipped with everything you could possibly need. The attention to detail is truly impressive, making it feel like a home away from home. The location is unbeatable, offering not just convenience but also a breathtaking view that we could enjoy from multiple spots around the house. Whether it was enjoying a peaceful morning coffee or unwinding in the evening, the scenery added to the overall relaxing atmosphere. This was our fourth time visiting, and each time we are more and more impressed. The consistency in maintaining such high standards is rare, and it's what keeps us coming back. The hosts are warm and welcoming, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. I almost don’t want to leave this review because we can hardly find a window to book it ourselves!

We were very happy with our stay at Suzanne's home in Dorset, Vermont for a week-long family summer vacation. Suzanne was an incredibly responsive and helpful host, who checked in daily, worked to resolve any issues that came up, and provided excellent recommendations for food, activities, and local spots to check out during our stay in Dorset. The house was incredibly spacious and welcoming as there was plenty of room for our group of 10, and everyone found the house to be immaculately clean and the beds extremely comfortable. We were happy to find the kitchen well stocked with plenty of appliances to cook with throughout the week and to make our morning coffee. During the week the central location of the house gave us access to wonderful hikes, the Dorset Farmer's Market on Sundays, the quaint shops and restaurants in downtown Manchester, and as many maple creamees as we could eat. While on the property we enjoyed walks up to the pond, access to the hot tub watching the sunset over the mountains, and plenty of games and activities for the rainy days. It is clear that Suzanne has put a lot of time, effort, and attention into making her house feel like a home for her guests, and we would happily recommend her place to anyone looking to have a relaxing, beautiful stay in Dorset. Thanks again for the great week!
