The property was in a great location and provided us a perfect spot to use as a home base. The owners were very good at communicating. Highly recommend the property.
This is our second year at Novel House and booked for next year. The best location in town. Accommodations are lovely - sad to leave.
Another great stay at the Novel House! The space is always prepared nicely for a relaxing week in the Green Mountains. This is our third time staying and you can’t beat the location in Manchester. Thanks again Matt!
We loved our stay in the Novel house. It was beautifully appointed with impressive kitchen and bathrooms. Our family had a wonderful time in the heart of Manchester. Location could not be beat!
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!
Well appointed home with pristine location. Host Matthew is very attentive to all details. We enjoyed 6 weeks and will be back again next year.
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.
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.
Storied Stay provided a perfect Manchester stay for myself and all guests. The house is beautiful, offering a historic New England feel with modernized appliances and accommodations . The house is clean, spacious and located right in the center of town. The owner is responsive and check-in/out was very easy. I would definitely stay here again!
We have stayed at this home a few times and we enjoy it each time. The home is clean and it accommodates our family of two adults and one toddler. It is in a good location that is quiet but yet central to restaurants and other activities in the area.
