The Headwaters home is located on 33 forested acres next to a babbling brook that spills into the nearby Metawee River. The home is also located 20 minutes from beautiful Manchester Center which is a bustling town with many restaurants and retail shopping outlets. Construction style is a Vintage-Adirondack glass and timber frame home. Home sits at the end of the town maintained meandering dirt road in rarefied Dorset Hollow. The spacious lodge consists of old and new. It comprises a gourmet state of the art kitchen with Wolfe stove, microwave, dishwasher and breakfast nook. Modern bathrooms consist of steam shower, double and single jacuzzi tubs. Home has radiant heat, massive river rock Rumford fireplace as well as a brick wood burning insert fireplace in Tavern room.

Listen to the babbling brook, the hoot owls, and enjoy the starry nights. Hike, walk or bike on nearly isolated dirt roads in "The Hollow". There are also plenty of fishing, golf and skiing or snowboarding opportunities nearby. There are also nearby swimming opportunities at the famous Dorset Quarry or Emerald Lake state park.

Headwaters
We enjoyed the property, location, and house. It is a lovely home and well stocked with kitchen supplies, towels, etc. It was clean and well organized for first timers. The only negative is a significant one. The property is listed as having a king size bed. This was THE amenity that was our primary requirement. Unfortunately, the listing is inaccurate and there is no king bed in the house. Had we known that the largest bed was a queen, then we would not have rented this property. We left early as not wanting to sleep in the queen bed another night. We wish the king bed was there, as it was advertised to be, and we would have loved the property completely.
