About this property

Entire place

This house is a 2 bedroom(s), 2.5 bathrooms, located in Manchester, VT.

Enjoy a storied stay at the Novel House, a beautifully restored home in the heart of Manchester Village. The house is designated historic by the Manchester Historical Society and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.

In the mid-1800s, the mother-in-law suite (Novel House) was added to the original Wickham House (built c. 1790) to accommodate larger families which visited the elegant summer enclave of Manchester Village.

The home was recently renovated for modern living.


Manchester is a small town in southernwestern Vermont, nestled at the foot of 3,816-foot Mount Equinox. The village has a tranquil old-world atmosphere, while Manchester Center is a shopper's paradise that is completely different from the village with its signs, sights and many shops. Manchester is also home to Hildene, Robert Todd Lincoln's 412-acre summer estate.

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.

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.

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.
