Perfect spot for a relaxing vacation

Just the two of us… it was a very nice and well appointed place which was on a lovely street in Manchester… close to everything without being right in the middle. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here.

Living in History

We spent four nights in this wonderful historic home. It is fully equipped, spotlessly, clean, has all the modern amenities, but it immerses you in a bygone era. It is within a mile of Orvis, the American Museum of flyfishing, and central downtown Manchester. We highly recommend staying in this property, you will not regret it.

VT Summer stay

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!

This house is a labor of love

This is one of our all time favorite rental experiences over the past 25 years. Every detail has been thought out and aligns with this beautiful and spacious 19th historic house. The aesthetic was perfect and at the same time, rather than feeling like staying in a museum, it was very cozy and comfortable. Close to everything. Highly recommend.

Storied’ Stay Experience

It was excellent. If I had to be critical; the only problem was that the TV did not work the second day. We spent 2 hours back and forth trying to fix it.

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.

Wonderful Home Rental in Manchester

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!

Wonderful Stay

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.

Magical weekend

What could be better than a beautiful autumn weekend in Vermont? Absolutely nothing...as long as you are staying at the lovely Storied Stay home! The property is immaculate, comfortable, and designed with impeccable taste. The Novel House in particular pairs modern design with historic charm, which provides the perfect setting for a relaxing getaway. As for the host, Matt was helpful, responsive, and damn professional from start to finish. He made sure our trip went off without a hitch. We couldn't recommend this property more highly.
