Happy Vermonters: A Change of Pace for Nancy Hanes Ess

“My husband and I moved here from Richmond, Virginia, to help run my family’s inn. Guests often ask us what we do around here for fun, and I think there are plenty of things—kayaking, hiking, going to the bookstore, or just going for a drive. For me, one of the nicest things is being able to slow down and not have to get on the highway to go to work. And I love my job because it doesn’t feel like work. It’s a lifestyle.”

    The inn and town are beautiful, but what makes it special is the entire Hanes family and staff who go out of their way to make everyone feel right at home with them at The Inn at Manchester

      Hi Donna — You are so right! I have had the pleasure of staying at the Inn at Manchester twice in the past few months, and it’s such a special place. The Hanes family and the inn’s staff are amazing!

    I arrived from Scotland for a wedding September 2015. I thought the Inn was a wonderful place and have spoken about it lovingly since. We will certainly be back some day in the future.
