Perfect...in every way
I will have fond memories of this trip and this house, where we spent quality time with our family of 4 couples. While this house is not "modern", it had all the conveniences of a modern home, down to pull out kitchen cabinets. I have never experienced a house, particularly of this age, so impeccably clean - you could eat off the floors! And I wouldn't call it old as much as I'd call it "antique" - brimming with beautiful furniture accents. There were large and separate rooms for us to enjoy solitude when we sought it, as in the cozy library brimming with classics to historically significant newspapers, or for the six of us to join together when we wanted in the woodburning stove living room. As an avid cook, I found the kitchen had EVERYTHING I needed, and the KitchenAid stovetop and oven (yes, I cooked in the oven) were quality - they just don't make them like they used to! The beds were extremely comfortable, the linens - quality. Our dog never felt so at home away from home, with a little patch of nature out back that she liked to walk in. We skied at Stratton the entire weekend and found the 25-minute drive very convenient and scenic. The proximity to the Equinox and other spots within walking distance, and the short drive to restaurants, Shaws market, the outlets, etc. make this the perfect location. I have to stress the cleanliness again! We all loved this house, including my young adult children!

Great location
We had a very nice visit- House was well equipped, clean and our host was responsive when we had trouble with access initially. The grandkids enjoyed the board games and the adults appreciated the location- such a beautiful neighborhood! Wish the kitchen was “eat in” and the stairs (like in many historic homes) were a bit steep for little ones and/or elderly folks. Nice layout in the second floor and the beds were very comfortable.

Easter get away in the Green Mountains
This property was perfect for my family of 6. The house had plenty of room, tv worked great for streaming and cable was great to catch some Masters. Kitchen had everything you could need and want. Front porch was perfect for morning coffee. Sidewalks were great to walk our dog. Parking is limited to 2 cars which was fine for us. Heat worked great, fireplace was nice at night. It was perfect for our needs and we look forward to coming back!

My new fav place to stay in Manchester
Such a great week in VT. For years I've been staying on Stratton Mountain. This was a much more enjoyable experience for less money. Super fun house to cook dinner for friends in, hang out on the porch, wander across the street for yoga and cozy up to the fire. Will definitely return!

Perfect fall weekend in Manchester
We came to Manchester for a wedding and the Wickham House was the perfect stay. We have little ones that needed to travel with us - and the house was perfect for grandma to stretch out and watch the kids while we popped back and forth to wedding activities. We LOVED the front porch and rocking chairs - perfect for people watching, sipping coffee and rocking a baby to sleep. The kitchen had everything we needed, bathrooms and bedrooms clean and well stocked, and the location was PERFECT! A nice walk in to town, proximate to many things, quiet and beautiful. The managers were very communicative and made the check in/out process easy and seamless. I would definitely stay here again if we return! Local highlights include downtown Manchester, the Equinox hotel and Hildene home to Abraham Lincoln!

Relaxing, comfortable and convenient.
We had our family vacation over Labor Day with 3 adult kids, my husband and I. The Wickham House was just the right place. The porch was our family spot for ‘porch chats’ over cocktails and breakfast. The house was in prime location of walking to town and restaurants. Also a short drive to Bromley mountain where we went for lots of fun activities and adventure. Highly recommend this place. Very comfortable home.
