Summary: Nestled atop a picturesque hill with enchanting pond views, The Dorset Pond House offers a quintessential Vermont experience that promises tranquility, nature immersion, and unparalleled comfort. Recently, my family and I had the pleasure of staying at this idyllic retreat, and it truly was a trip of a lifetime. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the natural beauty that surrounded us. The house itself was a haven of serenity, impeccably clean and thoughtfully organized to provide us with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The interior exuded a cozy charm that made us feel right at home, while the expansive windows allowed us to bask in the beauty of the outdoors. One of the highlights of our stay was the warm hospitality of our host, Daniella. Her attention to detail and genuine care for her guests shone through in every interaction. From offering valuable advice on local activities to promptly addressing any questions we had, Daniella went above and beyond to ensure that our stay was nothing short of perfect. The proximity of the house to Manchester town, a mere 10 minutes away, added to the convenience of our stay. This quaint and peaceful town provided a lovely backdrop for leisurely strolls and exploring local shops and eateries, making it an ideal spot for a day trip or casual outing. In conclusion, our experience at The Dorset Pond House was nothing short of magical.

Summary: Awesome home and property, very clean, well maintained, and just what we were looking for to relax, decompress and enjoy the true beauty of Vermont. The owners, Daniela and Scott, were very hands-on, even though they were on vacation halfway around the world at the time of our stay. They stayed in touch with us via text and phone and provided their local caretakers info in case we needed them. I feel that they went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable as well as safe (bad storm in Vermont). I would put Daniela and Scott at the very top of our list of premier hosts!!! Also, we have been renting vacation homes in Vermont over the course of our 53+ years of marriage, and this home is at the top of our list of wonderful rental homes in Vermont!!! We hope to return soon!!! Thank you again, Daniela and Scott, for helping to make our stay so memorable!!!

Summary: This gorgeous home exceeded our expectations! Our stay included myself, my husband, our two boys ages 2 and 4, and my parents. My parents easily settled into the beautiful first floor suite with a view of the pond. We had our pick of spacious en-suite bedrooms upstairs. We got a light snow and were able to sled and fish. Memories were made for sure. Thank you Daniella and Scott!

Summary: This was our infant daughter's first vacation. Our day trips were short and scheduled around her naps, but the house and property were so nice it did not matter! It was so nice just looking out at the pond and green mountains from the front porch. Highly recommend!

Summary: We had the perfect week at Daniela’s house. Daniela was the most gracious host. She reached out to us before our arrival and made us feel most welcome. Her home is gorgeous, comfortably and beautifully furnished, and in an idyllic setting. The home was so well appointed and had everything you would need to spend time away from home. The linens and towels were high end and the kitchen contained all kinds of pots and pans in which to prepare meals. We were three generations staying at the house, and there was ample space for everyone. The little ones loved playing in the front yard. The family enjoyed kayaking in the pond, and we all found plenty to do in the area. There are so many wonderful places to explore, farmers markets galore, scenic hiking, and great restaurants nearby. A highlight was making a fire in the fire pit one evening, roasting s’mores, and gazing at the stars. We can’t wait to return! Thank you again, Daniela!

Summary: Beautiful, spotless, organized house. Minutes away from the Vermont horse show. Host was friendly, informative and kind. A great VRBO experience. Hopefully next year we can visit again and all our girls will all be able to experience the Vermont horse shows!

Summary: We loved this house and property. Our host went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful time in their beautiful state of Vermont. The beds, linens and kitchen are very nice, just like we have in our own home. We cooked almost every meal for our family of 10 in their well equipped kitchen. We could have stayed right on property the entire time fishing, swimming and hiking on trails to a beautiful little stream. We even saw a bear! Everyone said this house will make our revisit list. Thank you Daniela & Scott!

Summary: The home is spacious with high ceilings and excellent light throughout. All the rooms are thoughtfully appointed, including a phenomenal kitchen where we spent almost all our time. Everyone kept remarking over the weekend how nice a place it was. And had the weather cooperated I’m sure we would have gotten good fun out of the pond. The hosts are extremely pleasant and helpful, and even left us a lovely local surprise in the fridge. All in all a delightful experience.
