The Neighborhood
Windham is a small, historical town with a warm, local atmosphere. There are plenty of stores within minutes of driving for all of your supplies and groceries. Experience farm-to-table dining at cozy inns and restaurants, as well.
If you like to cook, locally owned and operated farms provide the freshest produce, eggs, meats, cheeses, and baked goods. The eggs are a special delight, their golden yellow yolks are perfect for making omelets or boiled and cut up in a salad. You can pair your food selections with local wines and beers, which can be purchased either directly from the wineries and breweries, or in any number of shops and stores.
For guests saying during the warmer months, the berry picking (June to October) is also very popular, as is fishing in the lakes and rivers, or you can go boating, rafting, and tubing. The swimming pool is open from the end of May to the end of September, the actual dates depends on weather.
For those who love to fish, the lakes and rivers are stocked with trout, and there are local fish to catch as well, bass and pike to name a couple. You can fly fish, cast and reel with lures, or use live bait, whichever format you wish to choose! And in Manchester there is a fishing school which can teach you techniques to increase the chances you go home with a trophy or meal for the family.
In addition to the fishing schools, Manchester has a ton to offer: great restaurants and bars, cute shops and art galleries, and a large discount outlet mall for premier clothes and accessories at great prices. For those looking for something sportier, you can learn how to drive off-road with the Land Rover Driving Experience school, and there is a shooting school to improve your hunting and target shooting techniques. There are museums and Lincoln’s family home to visit, as well.
The VAST trails are very close to the property, perfect for a group of vacationing snowmobilers in winter, or a group that wants to hike and see Vermont’s nature up close, see it come alive in spring, or those great sounds, smells, and sights of autumn.
We hope you will love this home just as much as you love Vermont.
