Weekend Trip

Decided at the last minute to go to Vermont. Manchester View was a great find, very comfortable, run by lovely, friendly people. Country decor, very clean spacious room with a fireplace. They have a great location surrounded by mountains all around but very close to Manchester shops and resturants.
Enjoyed our one night stay, hope to return someday!

Beautiful hotel. Tranquil n relaxing. Not your typical chain hotel. Super comfortable beds, nicely decorated rooms, fireplace, deck w a view of mountains. Staff awesome. Robin went above and beyond to help us. We got lost hiking and were so late. Everything was closing. She made sure everything was set for us and also helped us find somewhere to eat in Bennington after we dropped off rental. Talk about hospitality!
Definitely recommend to anyone staying in Manchester!

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!

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!
