About this house rental
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.

I think this may be our 4th or 5th year staying at Novel House and each year we extend our stay. Matthew is a great host, the house is well appointed and the best location. Look forward to our stay next year.
