Located in the coveted Dorset Hollow. Renovated schoolhouse with high ceilings in the living, dining and guest room areas. Cozy master bedroom. The master and guest rooms have views of the babbling brook and patio area. Both bedrooms have window blinds. The cottage has mountain views with a popular 5 mile door to door loop walk which includes the Lower Hollow and the Upper Hollow. Turn left out the front door and return from the right, just follow the country gravel road and keep left or visa versa.
- "This cottage was everything we expected. It was very clean, dog friendly, well equipped with everything we needed for a four day weekend. Would be lovely in the Spring or Summer to sit outside and just listen to the stream running thru the back and side of the cottage. Even though it poured all weekend, it was the peace and quiet we needed. We opted to stay another day and communication with Rebecca was top notch. We would not hesitate to stay here again with our dog Cooper. Thanks for a great stay Rebecca and the goodies you left us. "

The Neighborhood:
Located in Dorset and just down the road from the shops and restaurants of Manchester, and 11 miles to Bromley and 22 miles to Stratton Mountain ski areas. Dorset is a four-season destination offering high-end dining, boutiques, year-round outdoor activities, swimming holes and hikes galore, and a vibrant arts and culture scene. Here’s just a brief selection of what’s available to you:
- 0.5 miles from H.N. Williams General Store, offering grocery staples, wine, coffee bar, wines, sandwich counter (don’t miss their breakfast sandwiches!), and gourmet food to-go. Great place to grab food for a picnic. It also hosts the Dorset Farmer’s Market on Sundays, one of the top-rated farmers markets in the area.
- 0.7 miles from the Dorset Quarry, a famous local swimming hole that was the source for the marble for the New York Public Library, the Met, and several Harvard buildings.

Historic Manchester also has a number of high-end restaurants.

Getting Around:
Vehicle is recommended. You will need AWD to get up driveway in the winter - plowing will occur when there is more than 3” in snow.
Other Things to Note:
Notes & Disclaimers:
We are on a septic system, which means nothing other than septic-safe TP can be flushed (no sanitary products, flushable wipes, etc.).
The property is equipped with a doorbell camera at the front entrance and an additional camera inside the detached garage, which is used to confirm trash pick-ups on Wednesdays.
Wildlife: This is a home in a rural part of the country. You may see wildlife including deer, coyotes, foxes, and bears. Please be mindful of your surroundings and leaving out food and trash.
Weather: In the winter, there will be snow, ice, and occasional snowstorms. We recommend driving a vehicle with AWD or 4WD. Please drive with caution and be prepared with regards to the ability of your vehicle to drive in the snow. Tip: During winter and rainy weather, we ask that everyone enter through the side door on the lower level, as we do not have a space for coats/shoes on the upper level.
Power & Internet: This is a rural part of the country. You may lose power or internet during inclement weather. We do not issue refunds for loss of power or internet out of our control.
Air conditioning: The main floor has central air. AC availability is seasonal and depending on weather (late spring and summer). Heating is also seasonal, and depending on weather, available during the cold seasons (autumn-winter). Please do not leave doors or windows open when running the AC; this causes water to accumulate in the HVAC system and will very quickly cause ceiling leaks.
Pets: Your pups are welcome! There’s a one-time, non-refundable fee of $150 plus tax for one dog, and $50 plus tax for each additional. We kindly ask that dogs stay leashed outdoors and that owners clean up after them. Please note: we can only accommodate small dogs up to 30 lbs. Planning to bring a bigger pup? Just reach out before booking so we can check with the homeowner. Any pet-related damages may result in additional charges.
Absolutely no smoking, vaping, or use of marijuana products. Use of these products will result in an additional $1500 cleaning fee.
Cancellation Policy: We cannot make any exceptions to our cancellation policy. Please consider traveler’s insurance.
Interaction with Guests:
No interaction with host required; available on chat service.
- "This was a last minute booking as our original booking was canceled. It has been a very positive experience with communication, timely responses to questions, the property is immaculately clean, inviting with comfortable rooms. Kitchen well stocked and the outside property was beautiful. Unfortunately it rained so could not fully experience it. Definitely recommend " - "This property is amazing: the grounds, the gardens and of course an exceptional, well equipped house. The architecture, the views and the many bedrooms and bathrooms made it so comfortable for our group of nine. The kitchen is well organized and has every convenience for cooking in."

Travel back in time to the picturesque, quaint villages and outdoor beauty of the Green Mountains in this sprawling Vermont vacation home! You will enjoy all the comforts of home and more as you awaken every morning from a deep and restful country sleep, gaze through the French doors at the beautiful misty mountains, and brew a cup of steaming French Roast coffee to enjoy on the balcony in your bathrobe.
Maybe you don't even need to leave the house today after all. You can wander between our 3 living rooms, Great Room and Sun Room, trying to decide which one has the coziest spot for curling up with your coffee. Or maybe you'd rather decide which of our 3 decks and patios has the sunniest spot. Or you could wander up the back yard to the pond, relax in an Adirondack chair and watch the fish jump. But if all this fresh air has you feeling like a kid again, head for the tree swing in our big, gorgeous maple, or take a shady nap in our hammock. You can hardly tear yourself away, but there are so many wonderful things to explore in Dorset and Manchester!
Dorset is a most charming, quaint location in every season. In the early spring you can enjoy visiting a real maple syrup 'sugar shack' to see how Vermont maple syrup is made, and by late April and May, our gardens are bursting with color. In summertime, you must pack a picnic lunch and head to the local favorite swimming spot, the Dorset marble quarry, and join the locals in a time-honored tradition of jumping off the ledges. The endless nearby hiking trails beckon to be explored. In the fall, our stately maple trees in the front yard, and the surrounding mountain sides are breath-takingly ablaze with color, and in winter you must skate on our pond, sled down our hill and take a romantic horse-drawn sleigh ride nearby! Downhill skiing, cross-country skiing and snow mobiling are just 15 minutes away, and there's a great ice skating rink just 7 minutes away. Any time of year, exploring the 100-year old covered bridges and meandering down the back roads through the adorable, quaint towns is a cherished favorite pastime. All of these activities and more await you at Owlswood!
Charming shops, bakery cafes and general stores are 3 minutes away on Dorset Green, and 7 minutes away in Manchester Center, not to mention the highly-acclaimed Southern Vermont Art Center, the historic Hildene House (former home of Robert Todd Lincoln) and the famous Vermont Country store. There are many local activities all year round, including the Manchester Summer Horse Festival, the water slide park at Bromley Ski Resort, art fairs, Sunday farmers' markets, outlet shopping, golf, fly-fishing, canoeing, horse-back riding, and don't forget incredible hiking, just minutes away.
When you return home from exploring, enjoy an outdoor game of badminton or volleyball in our dedicated court, all set up and ready to play! We also provide a nice wooden corn hole set, bocce ball and croquet sets, as well as a football, soccer ball, baseball mitts & balls, and frisbees to use in our huge front and back yards. You can even swim in our pond, or row the 3-person raft around! But there's nothing like just relaxing at the picnic table while you throw in a line for some catch-and-release fishing, or taking a lazy summer nap in the our incredibly comfortable hammock under the shady maple tree on a summer's afternoon...heavenly. We even have several fun trails on our property, such as the Pond Loop Trail, and the Bird House Trail. Great for walking your dog right at the house!
Once it's time to head indoors, start the evening by lighting a wood fire in the huge stone fireplace in the Great Room and playing some board games or starting a puzzle (we have lots!). Our brand-new, incredibly comfortable sectional sofa with a chaise lounge is the perfect spot to curl up with a good book, or snuggle up to watch a little TV or movie you've been meaning to see on our new QLED 55" high-def, flat screen Smart TV, with Blu-Ray player. We also have another 42" SmartTV all set up in the lower living room area with a Wii video gaming system, and 25+ games from which to choose, including Guitar Hero.
We have high-speed wireless internet, and you'll especially love our Sonos music system, on which you can play just about any song ever recorded at the touch of a button! We even have blue tooth speakers outdoors by the hot tub, too. There is a house phone with unlimited long-distance calling, and a USB printer for your use, as well.
For dinner your first night, why not bake a delicious home-made Chicken Pot Pie from historic Dorset Union General store on Dorset Green? But be sure to venture out for a great meal at one of the many award-winning restaurants close by. Dorset and Manchester are renowned for their incredible chef-owned restaurants, and farm-to-table cuisine. You could spend years trying all the amazing restaurants within a 10-minutes radius of Owlswood! It's also fun to create your own farm-to-table experience, using fresh produce from local Dutton Farms (the kids will adore seeing their cute farm animals, too). So bring your favorite recipes from home and cook up a feast in our very well-appointed kitchen with a nice breakfast bar, then gather everyone in the formal dining room for a cozy fireside meal. After dinner it's time to relax and watch the sunset over the mountains in our very private 7 person jetted hot tub, or roast marshmallows around the outdoor bonfire pit while gazing at the incredible Milky Way. We even provide the firewood!
Our little hamlet of Dorset, Vermont is located in the Southwest corner of the state, in the heart of the Green Mountains, only 4 hours drive from New York City and 3 hours from Boston. If you fly in, Albany, New York is the closest major airport, and Dorset is 1:15 minutes northeast by car. Burlington, Vermont is 2 hours north of us, and Manchester, New Hampshire is about 2:30 minutes east of us. We know you'll fall in love with Dorset just as we did. We can't wait to have you as our guests!

- "What an amazing property, and location! Beautifully situated on a slight hill, nestled up against a tree line, with stunning views out of the living room windows! Everyone in my family had a terrific time, and the pond was an enormous hit with my grandsons, and pup! This house is fully stocked for outdoor, as well as indoor fun! Hot tub and SONOS, what is not to love! We will be back, thank you so much Suzanne!!" - "Our extended family of 7 adults and 3 kids under 7 enjoyed this property for a week. Even when it rained, we went outside and played in the pond and the stream. There is so much to do on the property, that you don't need to look for other activities. We played badmitton, slept in the hammock, pushed kids on the tree swing, had a bonfire and swam in the pond! The kitchen was incredibly well stocked with loads of dishes, glassware, pots, pans, crockpot and lots of spices. We appreciated all of the decorative touches with owls and pinapples. We have already booked for the same week next year! Communication with the owner was excellent!"

After renting places at the Jersey Shore and OBX, where the kitchen, and, the contents of the kitchen, seemed like a complete after thought, we decided to set up our kitchen properly. We like to cook and entertain, and the kitchen reflects our lifestyle. New white dishes & serving platters. New utensils, cutlery, pots & pans, coffee maker, French press, toaster over, blender, tea kettle, storage containers and kitchen tools. We stocked the cabinets with proper wineglasses, martini glasses, champagne flutes and craft beer glassware.
Our kitchen will be stocked with coffee, coffee filters, tea, olive oil, vinegar(s), spices. Foil, plastic wrap, baggies, trash bags are all provided.
Paper towels, toilet paper, cleaning supplies, dishwasher detergent, laundry detergent, mop, dustpan, broom, vacuum and a dust-buster are provided.
Our comfortable family room has the only TV on property. It is a 55 inch 'smart TV'.
COVID19 SANITATION: I have invested in a sanitation system, which is used by my cleaning crew, between every checkout and arrival. I saw it being used by my dentist in his office, after each patient, and I made the investment.
How does it work? Simple tap water, Kosher salt and vinegar are placed into the "water electrolizier" vessel. It has two electrodes. In 10 minutes, the electrodes turn these household items into hypochlorous acid. (HOCI) The hypochlorous acid is poured into an industrial fogging machine. When plugged in, the fogger produces a spray, containing millions of micro droplets. We spray each room and all surfaces. When the droplets settle and begin to evaporate, they destroy the cell walls of bacteria, germs and viruses. This is 10 x more powerful than using bleach as a disinfectant, yet, it does not damage our household furnishings. It is even safe enough to be sprayed onto fruits and vegetables!! .
MUSIC: We also have a BLUE TOOTH "Marshall Amp" Stereo system. Play wireless music, from your cell phone, or attach the cord to your iPod.
Guest Access
You will be able to enjoy the entire home, and the surrounding grounds.
Interaction with Guests
I am available, by cell phone. I also have a friend who lives a few minutes away, in Dorset. He is acting as my 'caretaker', and, upon renting, you will be given his contact information.
The Neighborhood
Dorset is one of the most beautiful and quaint towns in all of Vermont. There is the Dorset Playhouse for theater. Excellent dining options are right in town,...The Barrows House, the Dorset Inn and Inn at West View Farm.
The Dorset Union Store (in town), H.N. Williams Store (along Rt 30 -north) offer plenty of choices for sandwiches, soups, homemade baked goods, take away meals. Beer and wine purchases, too. H.N. Williams is also a mini-department store. Stop in for an amazing experience and a trip back in time.
Right down the hill from our house, in walking distance, is a little farm stand, offering, during summer and fall, garden fresh produce, eggs and syrups. Our neighbors, just directly below our house, make their own delicious maple syrup, and it is for sale.
The Dorset Farmers Market operates on Sundays from 10am to 2pm. Fresh vegetables, cheeses, syrups, honey, baked goods, dairy products, eggs, assorted crafts and live music. Located on Route 30, next to H.N. Williams. In winter, the farmers market moves inside the J.K. Adams Kitchen Store.
We are only 1 mile from the Dorset quarry, which is one of the states most famous swimming holes!
We are located close to Manchester ( 5 minute ride). Manchester offers a wide variety of dining options, galleries and plenty of outlet shops, and it is the home of Orvis!
Emerald Lake State Park is close by, for fishing and swimming. Non-motorized water craft can be rented, at the park. The world famous Battenkill River and Mettowee River are minutes away, offering some of the best trout fishing in Southern VT.
We are very close to Bromley, Magic and Stratton mountain for winter skiing, and summer fun. The Long Trail and Appalachian Trail cross along Route 30, near Peru / Bromley area, for easy access to a day hike! Within a 1 hour ride, you can ski at Okemo, Mt. Snow, Pico and Killington.
Getting Around
You will need your own transportation.
Other Things to Note
PELLET STOVE: The pellet stove is a very efficient source of heat during the winter. Use it as your main source of heat, with electric base board heat as back-up. It is easy to start, and directions are provided. The fireplace area has a nook, and it will be filled with six bags of pellets. Additional bags are stored in the outside shed.
PLOWING: The driveway and parking area will be plowed, during and after snow storms. You may be asked to move cars, to maximize the area to be plowed.
SKI RACK: Skis must be kept outside, on the ski rack.
CELL PHONE / WIFI: Verizon has a tower in East Dorset, and reception is spotty. However, I have added a Verizon 'mini' tower, in the family room, to boost the signal, and it works great in the house and on the deck area. You must dial #48 to connect to the mini tower. AT&T has a tower close by, and reception is good. WIFI is available, and the code is in the house manual, provided. It works throughout the house.
CHECK IN / CHECK OUT: "Self-Check In" anywhere between 12:00 noon and 9:00pm. Check out by 11:00am.

- "We very much enjoyed our stay. The accommodations were very tasteful yet comfortable. We had everything we needed to cook a Thanksgiving meal for family and friends. Our dog enjoyed the deck and small fenced yard. The property was within walking distance of very nice shops and restaurants and only 5-6 miles to all of the shopping and activities in Manchester Center. We hope to have an opportunity to stay again. Thank you, Nicole!" - "My husband, labradoodle, and I stayed for 4 nights and loved the cottage. Nicole was super helpful, though not intrusive, and made us feel very, very welcome. I am occasionally in the Manchester VT area for work and would stay there again in a heartbeat!"

- "Our property was close to the horse show grounds as well as dinner spots, grocery stores, and shopping. This house was AMAZING! It had everything we needed and more for sleeping, cooking, and relaxing. We needed a place to stay for the time we spent showing at VSF, which is less than 2 miles from the property. Making it extremely convenient to get to the barn early in the mornings and get back to do night check. This house is spacious and can accommodate a very large number of people. If your cooking theres an abundance of everything youll need! The basement is great, with a pool table, that converts to a ping pong table, and theres laundry facilities! Each room has window fans and plenty of blankets. The living room area is also great to spread out in. Theres a grill on the porch that is awesome, and plenty of parking! The property is really cool, like a super old huge farm house, thats been updated with fresh paint, modern lighting, pretty tile floors in the kitchen, but still has the old world charm. It was perfect! Our hosts were easy to communicate with and everything was wonderful. All of us enjoyed our stay at the property."

- "We adored this place! Such a peaceful getaway while still close to town. We (stupidly) did not save the access instructions which was only an issue as there is no cell service while there. Thankfully I was able to pull up the email anyways but just a heads up for those visiting! Would 110% come back!" - "Near the end of the road (and well off of it) and at the base of Dorset Peak, this studio was an excellent spot for a quiet getaway. The main house is within view, but only as much as an average neighbor would be. It's one room, but it's above a three+ stall garage and PLENTY big enough for a full kitchen, dining table, two large beds, a wood burning fireplace and sitting area. The last three miles to the house have breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. It's 10 minutes to the main road, but right there is a GREAT bakery/breakfast restaurant. Manchester is near enough for dinner, shopping, etc if you don't find something you like in Dorset. The place was clean and stocked and the owner was communicative and helpful. We'd go back and would recommend it for others."

- "The perfect home-base for our Vermont Golf trip but would also be perfect for a family getaway. 5-10 minutes from prominent Manchester staples. The house was warm and inviting from the moment you step in. Amenities were key between the ping pong table for late night friendly tournaments to winding down in the hot tub after multiple rounds of golf. A cool feature was the backyard driving range. Dog friendly, new utilities, big kitchen, cozy living room, finished basement. I’ll be saving this property and returning with the family next time for sure. "

"An unforgettable experience! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the charm and comfort of this delightful Airbnb. The host's attention to detail was impeccable, ensuring every aspect of our stay exceeded expectations. The accommodation itself was immaculately clean, beautifully decorated, and equipped with all the amenities we could possibly need. The location was perfect, offering both tranquility and convenience, with stunning views just steps away. Our host was incredibly warm, responsive, and accommodating, making us feel truly welcomed and valued throughout our stay. Without a doubt, this is a hidden gem that we cannot wait to return to. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a memorable getaway!"
Brian and Don's place was exactly as advertised! Quiet, calm, peaceful and located right by some fantastic local restaurants.
The actual home was spacious, comfortable and had just the right mix of modernity and old school charm / warmth.
I would recommend this place to anybody looking for a great place to have a relaxing weekend away from all the hustle and bustle of a big city.
My stay at the Bumblinn cottage was wonderful. The home itself was cozy and clean with everything we needed for our stay. The location was something out of a story book, absolutely enchanting! Brian and Don left a binder full of information on activities and shopping...very helpful. Will most definitely be visiting again!
Thank you, gentlemen!!
We had an absolutely amazing stay and Brian and Don’s “Bumblinn”! Their home is beyond lovely and in the perfect location, steps away from the towns center, the Dorset bakery, and amazing restaurants. Brian and Don were so accommodating and kind. We can’t wait for our next stay!
Brian and Don’s Bumblinn is incredible. Immaculate, well equipped. Even stocked with food to create a dinner. Walking distance to local attractions. Easy check in. Very informative on things to do and places to go. We felt right at home. We will definitely return. Thank you both for sharing your beautiful home. You are perfect hosts.
My husband, another couple, and our two dogs spent the weekend at Brian and Dons place. I am used to staying in Manchester for our annual foliage weekend, but i must day I will now stay in Dorset. We absolutely loved the local places - the Dorset Inn for dinner, multiple trips to H N Williams, the Union Store and the Bakery, which were all within walking distance of the house (not to mention downtown manchester is <10 mins away!). The house was the perfect cozy spot we were looking for. It was clean and comfortable, plenty of room to sleep, a backyard for the pups etc. Brian was super communicative with details and recommendations up well in advance and through the trip. Thank you so much for a wonderful weekend, we will be back!
- "My family had a delightful stay at the BumbleInn in early August. We love visiting Dorset, and the BumbleInn location was perfect for us - a short walk to the Dorset Inn, Barrows House, Bakery, Union Store and more! The BumbleInn was very tidy, organized and had all the amenities we needed. The check-in/ check-out process was a breeze, and communicating with Brian was easy. I hope to stay at the BumbleInn again for our next trip to Dorset!"

Full set of kitchen appliance and the all-in-one washer/ dryer is easy to use. Central ac already works fine but every room still gets a separate heater. Tv has host’s Netflix logged in.

It's located in a beautiful area, on a very quiet street about 2 minutes from town and could not have been better for our work trip. It was spotlessly clean, comfortable and was very convenient to shopping for last minute items at the Union Store and the Dorset Bakery, seeing a show at the Playhouse and of course dining at the Dorset Inn. In addition, Manchester Center is about a 6 mile drive. The home features two bedrooms, one bath (great water pressure), a/c, laundry, easy parking for 2 cars and excellent Wi-Fi.
