Manchester, Vt.: The perfect getaway with aging parents
Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up In other words, I had to pre-fuss — secretly — and Manchester checked all the boxes. Advertisement The author's parents in Manchester, Vt. Melanie Carden Most importantly, my parents are maple-syrup-in-the-veins New Englanders, so Manchester is as appealing as it is senior-friendly. At less than 4 square miles, it offers Burlington-level fun in a pocket-village-size package — a compact, choose-your-own-adventure paradise on the Battenkill River between the Green Mountains and the Taconics. Clocking in with 2.5- and 3.5-hour drivetimes from Hartford and Boston, respectively, the last hour gifts travelers with relaxed river views along Route 30, complete with covered bridges, general stores, and a smoked meat shop. Advertisement Homemade Bread at Zoey's. Melanie Carden We arrived late morning and dropped our bags at After lunch, the travel day's itinerary was light and loose, but I pre-mapped a variety of activities, all within 5 northern miles of the hotel, to minimize the low-key but ever-present stress of navigating and getting in and out of the car. My parents are Olympic-level shoppers, so we spent the afternoon scouring the outlet racks for deals. The Hildene Lincoln Family Home. Melanie Carden Shopping aside, this area of town boasts elder-portion sip samples at Smuggler's Notch Distillery Tasting Room, the famed Northshire Bookstore, and the bling-ding symphony of pure pinball joy at Pastime Pinball, a playable pinball museum. On the way back to the hotel? The American Museum of Fly Fishing and all things Orvis, including their celebrated Fly-Fishing School, are a mile from home base. We wrapped up our first day with locally inspired plates at the hotel's Copper Grouse, but the elevated BBQ fare at Pearl's Pantry is also an option, a topic of frequent lusty-gastro reminiscence with my husband, a holdover from our 2024 visit. Advertisement Leaning into spontaneity, day two's adventures checked off three of the seven potential spots I scouted, starting with Hildene, The Lincoln Family Home, two miles south of the hotel. The property features a grand estate, a goat dairy, a working farm, formal gardens, trails, and a pristinely restored 1903 wooden Pullman palace car, the Sunbeam. As a bonus, they offer seasonal on-site trams. CurATE's mushroom flatbread. Melanie Carden Next, we called an audible and headed a few miles north for a leisurely brunch at Southern Vermont Arts Center's bistro, curATE, where we devoured local mushroom flatbread, vadouvan curry mussels, and shrimp and grits with sublime celery dressing. It's also where my mom discovered her love for the local Green State Lager, so she was delighted that Dutton Farm Stand carries it. Dutton's sprawling market offers endless Vermont goodies, including the state's iconic maple creamees or, I suppose , you could go rogue with the mixed berry version. Other day-two gems, including Mount Equinox Skyline Drive, and Rablogan Castle of Scotland (think dreamy woolen goods, proper meat pies, and Scottish charcuterie heaven), are lined up just past Hildene. If grandma and grandpa prefer a day of golf, no worries. The Equinox Golf Course is a few doors down from the hotel. Across the street from the hotel, you'll find one of my favorite Manchester restaurants, The Crooked Ram. Wizardry might be the only explanation for how the dishes often echo Michelin-star composition, yet the indoor-outdoor experience remains casually jaunty. If you're gluten-free, like me, prepare to be rendered speechless. The gluten-free focaccia, alone, is reason enough to make the wee pilgrimage to Manchester. Advertisement Early on at the hotel, we met a lovely couple from Saratoga, traveling with their dog. In fact, we met lots of dogs since the property has a generous pet policy. We bumped into our new friends again on our final morning. We sipped coffee and topped off our dog-snuggle tanks before heading back to Zoey's so my folks could grab some bread to bring home. Manchester is abuzz with the arts year-round, but summer is special with A display at Squirrel Art & Gathered Goods. Melanie Carden Round out your getaway by shopping for local art at Squirrel Art & Gathered Goods. They carry plenty of small, souvenir-worthy pieces. Otherwise, embrace nature with a flat, well-maintained half-mile woodsy stroll along Flatlanders Pass at the Equinox Preservation Trust or take foraging classes and shop the handmade tinctures at Hazel & Bee Organics. While most businesses are open daily, a few operate on a reduced schedule (typically Thursday–Sunday). So, it's best to check hours in advance. Check Kimpton Taconic's website for local collaboration packages, like the Land Rover driving experience. It's surprisingly perfect for older relatives. The pace? A snail's crawl, but the thrill is top-notch. Each reservation also comes with beverage tickets for the daily social hour, optional guestroom plants, and complimentary adult tickets to Advertisement Hildene Pullman Car interior. Melanie Carden In their 70-plus years, my folks have zigged and zagged throughout New England, on countless trips. When Dad mentioned that this hotel 'represents New England at its best,' I felt like I'd redeemed myself ( a micro-smidgen ) for having switched loyalties from the Yankees to the Red Sox. Senior resident Anthony MacLaurin captures Manchester's magic best, explaining that 'folks still hold the door for you at the post office; drivers are courteous, and people wave hello like they always have.' Mom insists that it's so bountiful we may have missed something, and I don't mind one bit. I'd happily pre-fuss, again, for an encore of our time together in Manchester.
