Welcome to The Manchester View

The Perfect Lodging in Southern Vermont

Offering the best mountain views in southern Vermont, the Manchester View is a 36-room fine lodging property combining the warmth of New England with friendly service and delightful amenities. Nestled in a tranquil valley between the Green and Taconic Mountains, 'The View,' as we're affectionately known, is a snowy wonderland in winter, a beautifully-colorful landscape of flora in spring and summer, and an autumn delight for leaf-peeping in the fall. Our award-winning hotel features guest rooms and one- and two-bedroom suites appointed with cozy features like working gas and wood-burning fireplaces and deep-soaking spa tubs. The layout of the property allows for "social distancing" with buildings spaced a comfortable distance apart and with most room entrances opening directly to the outside.

The Glorious (and COVID-Careful) Manchester View

I've been coming up from NYC to visit Manchester since I was two. Given the restrictions of our current times, we were looking for a place to make a 70th birthday extra special. And the Manchester View was an excellent choice. The staff was "Covid Careful" as it appeared that they were adhering to the cleaning protocols. (masks, sanitizers, distancing) Even beyond that, they kept our room spotless. I don't look for things that are wrong, but I certainly notice when they are right! We could relax.

The view is clearly the best in southern Vermont. I couldn't stop looking out the window and taking pictures as sun's angle and the cloud cover changed. We had a large deck and fireplace which made the room special as well as a Jacuzzi tub. The grounds are landscaped beautifully making for a nice autumnal stroll around the property. The takeout breakfast was carefully done and was an added treat! The front desk staff is available to answer any questions about the area as there is much to see and do!

This is not the first time we've stayed here and won't be the last. it was a week to remember!

First Timers at Manchester View

Enjoyed a 3-day weekend in the Pearl Buck suite. The suite was spacious, clean, quiet, and in good condition overall, except for one of the window locks. The king bed was comfortable. No safety concerns re: Covid. Enjoyed the gas fireplace. The breakfast was basic yet appreciated. Nice & helpful staff. The hiking trails at Equinox Preservation & Pond were great. High grades for: Ye Old Tavern (dinner), Mystic Cafe & Wine Bar (lunch), Rooster Cafe (lunch), Above All Vermont store, Manchester Woodcraft, Dorset Farmers Market.

From NYC, NY

WE LOVED IT! We just stayed for one night but it was such a cozy little cottage I wanted to stay longer. It's nestled on a little hill and was so quiet and peaceful. The bed was very soft and comfortable, the sheets were fresh and crisp and the under blanket was soft and plush. I usually have trouble sleeping but I slept very well and soundly. The little deck led out to a spacious well maintained yard. We were able to go out and see all the stars, something you rarely see with such clarity in NYC. The staff was very nice and helpful with informing us about what to do in the area. They provided a gracious continental breakfast. I hope we come back soon for a longer stay!

Local Attractions

The Manchester View sits high up on a hill with magnificent sweeping views of the historic Route 7A valley and the Green and Taconic mountain ranges, just a mile and half north of the center of town and two miles south of Dorset Village in southwestern Vermont. 'The View' is close to so many local attractions, dining options, galleries and museums, sports venues, and natural sights that you'll be busy non-stop, or choose to relax in the comfort of your room or suite. Some of Vermont's best ski resorts (and warmer weather adventure parks) — including Bromley, Stratton and Magic Mountains — are just a short drive from the hotel. A visit during any season will be memorable!
