3 Bedroom House in Manchester

For your 2025 outdoor recharge enjoy secluded privacy on our 60 acre retreat at the base of Equinox Mountain. (NO INTERNET OR CELL SERVICE BUT HAS A LAND LINE PHONE) Relax in the Adirondack chairs by our large outdoor firepit & wood grill, unwind on the large covered porch or rekindle your youth on our 14 foot adult swings. As one guest reviewed “The views are spectacular. The house has an old charm and is cabin-like cozy.” Explore the area and go mountain biking, fishing , tubing, or canoeing in the renowned Battenkill River (12 minute drive). Hike from our property on the Beartown Gap Trail to top of Equinox Mountain to the famous Skyline Drive and Visitors Center and enjoy 5 state breathtaking views. Play lawn games and just take in the outdoors. NOTE: We have 2 gates that access the property. The first gate we have put a new road in 2025 for easy access. If you use the second gate up the road it has some rough spots so a SUV or high clearance car is recommended (such as a Volvo, Forester or Subaru type) however it is not a problem.
INTERESTING NOTE: This property was featured on a National Geographic TV show “Building Wild” episode “Backwoods Bus” found on you tube. Paulie Dimeo and his crew and our family & friends built a small quaint cabin and pond. It is about a 10 minute walk from the rental property if you want to see it. (Sorry no access to inside)
Our property is in Manchester, Vermont about a 30 minute drive to Manchester Village. It is on the opposite side of Equinox Mountain & Manchester Center. Our location is an area still known as Beartown which is a 1700’s community long gone. Our 3 generation house is at the base of Equinox Mountain, the highest peak in Southern Vermont on 60 acres in the middle of a 25 acre meadow. The 360 degree view is truly spectacular. Built in 1962 we remodeled the kitchen & bathroom in 2022 but kept the rustic feel of the living and bedroom area.. There is NO INTERNET OR CELL SERVICE so its a good time to relax and build relationships in our serene nature retreat. We have a land line phone (calling card needed for long distance which we have included) and 70 dvd movies.
Need a change from nature? Take a ride and experience Vermont’s covered bridges ( don’t miss the famous West Arlington covered bridge and adjacent Norman Rockwell home and studio only a 15 minute drive) Take a 30 minute drive around the mountain and visit quiescent Manchester Village voted #1 getaway by “Travel and Leisure”. Explore the many great restaurants, museums, and quaint shops including the Orvis Flagship store, Southern Vt Art Center, Hildene Lincoln Estate, and the Northshire Book Store to name a few. Take a ride up the famous Equinox Mountain Skyline drive and experience 5 state views. Manchester truly has it all.
A high cleared vehicle is recommended as the last 1/2 mile has some high spots. For an example a forester or subaru would be no problem.
This experience will take you back to the simple times and an adventure that will be nature at its finest. For more information visit our new website: beartownvermont.com

Summary: This was the perfect place to get away. Surrounded by fields, woods, and mountains. Sunrises and sunsets were great. Fire pit was nice place to end the evening under the stars. We also enjoyed watching the dvd about the school bus cabin and then visiting it farther back in the woods.
