3 minute drive to the heart of Manchester! Peaceful 5 bedroom home on 5 acres.

Come enjoy a peaceful Vermont get away! This home is set on 5 acres in Manchester Center, Vermont. It is surrounded by White birch trees so we named it Birch Valley. We purchased this home in June 2017 and have put a lot of time and effort into making this a home away from home for anyone. Just 7 miles (11 minutes) from the Vermont Summer Festival. We are 15 minutes to Bromley resort and 25 minutes to Stratton. The property has an easy access paved driveway and plenty of parking for large vehicles.

There are mountain views from the back and the front of Birch Valley!
This home is 3 Minutes to the heart of Manchester and 5 Minutes to the heart of Dorset.
No Pets allowed. Our family has allergies and can't chance any pets. If you're interested in booking this house please send us a request include the dates and times you'd be interested in, as well as a little about your family/ group.

The open floor plan includes a large dining room, great room, loft and a grand kitchen. This space allows for large groups to congregate with viewing access to all three areas. The spiral staircase up to the loft is great to hang out in the futons and enjoy the mountain view through the two skylights. The wood burning stove is wonderful to enjoy and visible from the kitchen, eating area, loft and main great room.
Birch Valley has mountain views from almost every room in the house. There are many beautiful spot to sit outside on the front balcony or the back 30' deck. There is heat/air conditioning units through out the house. The main social area has radiant heat. Each bedroom has its own A/C & heat control.
Five bedrooms includes sleeping for eleven people.
The top floor includes Three bedrooms-

On the main level has 2 bedrooms. There is a full bathroom for these two bedrooms to share.
-The Battenkill bedroom is very spacious with a queen bed and one extra long twin.
-The Mt Aeolus bedroom is the fifth bedroom with two twin beds.


In the winter time enjoy snowboarding and skiing at three areas Bromley, Stratton and Magic mountain. In the summer close by is the Dorset Quarry, Dorset Theatre, Southern Vermont Arts Center, and Vermont summer festival.
Local year - round attractions include gourmet restaurants and cozy coffee shops within minutes, exceptional art galleries and outstanding musical performances and of course Hildene (Robert Todd Lincoln's summer home).
We are 4 minutes from The Equinox hotel. Don't miss the award-winning Northshire Bookstore (3+ floors, thousands of books and gifts) in Manchester and enjoy fabulous shopping at the Manchester outlets, local country shops and charming little shops!

The kitchen is equipped with a Keurig, 12 cup coffee pot, crock pot, blender, toaster, mixer, microwave, a gas stove, dishwasher and two electric ovens. Plenty of counter space for the gourmet cook.

You can enjoy the Television with basic cable and of course free WiFi from all over the property.

Enjoy relaxing on the 36’ deck with mountain views. Your welcome to try out the new BBQ. Or play a game of football in the back field. There is a fire pit away from the house for guests to enjoy.
Our driveway is easy to drive large vehicles or trailers and easy to turn around . In snow there are perfect hills to sleigh ride on. Cycle right out of the driveway for a wonderful ride and view of the surrounding mountains.

Our huge pond is low in late summer through October. Other times of the year it is very full and breathtaking. Sit on the balcony or front porch enjoy watching the wildlife and the crystal clear water in the pond. This private get away is peaceful and tranquil.
