Manchester View Fine Lodging

Our Story

Get away to the Manchester View in picturesque Manchester, Vermont. (Just 4 hours from NYC and 3 hours from Boston). This fine lodging property is the town's best AAA accommodation combining New England’s warm hospitality, beautiful views visible from the decks outside all rooms and suites, and a very convenient location just 1.5 miles from the center of town of Manchester. It sits high up on a peaceful hill off historic Route 7A, 2 miles south of the quaint village of Dorset in the Green Mountains of southern Vermont.

The lodge has held the prestigious Three Diamond Award from AAA for more than 30 years. It has been lauded in the "Discerning Traveler Newsletter" and featured in "Weekending in New England" and "The Yankee Traveler."

What separates us from the rest? Our accommodations are a cut above those of other properties. Take a look at our rooms and suites and you'll see why. We have newly renovated Standard Queen, Premium Queen and King rooms, unique and beautiful Specialty rooms, and luxurious 1 and 2-Bedroom Suites - 20 rooms have gas or wood-burning fireplaces plus 1 or 2-person spa tubs. Parking for most rooms is located right outside your door, and all spaces are free! And ‘The View’ is pet-friendly for dogs up to 40 lbs. with prior approval and a $20 per pet, per night fee.

The Manchester View offers special discounted tickets for the Bromley Summer Adventure Park and Bromley Mountain skiing. We offer an ‘Historic Package’ with discounted tickets to visit Hildene, Robert Todd Lincoln’s Vermont summer home. The Georgian Revival Style home, finished in 1903, is a lovely backdrop to step back in time. Shopping is an adventure in Manchester; our ‘Shop ‘Til You Drop’ package includes a discount booklet to Manchester Designer Outlet stores. For special occasions, guests can order flowers to be delivered from our local florist, a luscious cake baked right here at Manchester's own Mother Myrick's bakery, and private in-room massages by Certified Massage Therapists.
