About this property

Located 6 miles from Manchester Centre. Minutes from Bromley and Magic Mountain Ski Centers and within 25 minutes from Stratton and Okemo. Killington and Mount Snow are within a one hour drive. Lodge sits on 13 bucolic acres surrounded by National Forest overlooking trout pond. This property is also in the middle of a bird sanctuary. Natural scented flower gardens around front porch. Cathedral ceilings in living room / dining room, with massive cobblestone fireplace. Glassed screened porch. Free-form decks. Fully equipped kitchen. 2 full baths upstairs bath has jacuzzi jets. Barn Sleeps 6 adults and 2 to 4 children. The 3 bedrooms each have a queen bed. There is a loft area upstairs that has 2 twin trundle beds that can sleep 4 when opened. Appalachian and Long trail hiking to the top of scenic Bromley mountain accessible right from property. Well behaved pets are welcome but as per house rules we ask they pets are kept off furniture and beds and we do require a $100 pet fee per pet due to multiple issues with dog hair on beds and furniture. When you book you can check the box to add pets and pet fee. No cats are allowed.
Note: Although very rare due to unforeseen circumstances the pond may be partially drained for dam repair. Also, we take guests privacy very serious and we do not have any inside surveillance or televisions with front facing cameras. Swimming in the pond is not recommended because it is a wildlife pond and has Leaches and Beaver from time to time. Fishing is permitted but you may want to purchase a Vermont state fishing licence.
Located in Bondville, this vacation home is in a rural area and on the waterfront. Bromley Mountain Ski Resort and Stratton Mountain Resort are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those wishing to experience the area's natural beauty can explore Green Mountain National Forest. Bromley Alpine Slide and Southern Vermont Arts Center are also worth visiting. Enjoy the area's slopes with cross-country skiing and snowboarding, and don't miss out on the snowmobiling and sledding.

We loved our stay in this beautiful old cabin/barn, the space was perfect for our family of 5 plus our dog. Location is great, close to town but remote and private. It lacked nothing, especially not charm.
It was wonderful to return to this cozy welcoming property. I stayed in the other house maybe 6 or 7 years in a row quite some time ago. You can tell it’s such a family place. Everything was easy, comfortable and the spot is just amazing. We couldn’t have been happier.
We spent the very first Christmas away from home and into a home that made the holiday a wonderful memory for us. We have stayed at this property in the summer and both seasons did not disappoint. The property is in a secluded area, quiet and very close to skiing. I would book and stay here forever if I could. MM
We were 3 couples over 60. The house was plenty large to accommodate all of us with ease and comfort. We enjoyed lots of laughter in the dining and sun rooms. The large kitchen was easy to work in.
Overall, the house is great and convenient to Manchester.
Two things to note: the pond is barely visible from the house due to the summer foliage. Route 11 created more road noise than I expected.
Rented this lodge based on other positive reviews - and they were spot on! Greeted by snowy landscape and cozy, warm, lodge wonderfully appointed More you looked, more you saw! Comfy beds, good showers, full service kitchen, spotless. Our family of 5 adults , 13 yr old twin granddaughters greed we felt like we were in a welcoming home. Brad, part owner/prop. manager immediately responded to call or text. We are looking forward to Dec 2025 to do it all again. Don’t miss Zoe’s grill in Manchester
We loved our stay at the lodge. We had two couples and kids ranging in age from 2 to 12. We did lots of skiing at Bromley but loved having Manchester so close to explore. The pinball arcade was a great rainy day activity for kids! The house was amazing and bigger than we imagined, we were all extremely comfortable. The only thing to mention is the stairs and upstairs loft are a bit scary for little ones. We blocked them with a baby gate and didn’t let the two year old up there, but it was fine for the big kids. We can’t wait to plan another stay next year!
Property is a great location to explore Vermont. We spent 4 nights and visited several locations throughout the State.
Hiked to Bromley summit right from front door and the Lye Brook Falls hike was great.
Description indicates a cleaning co. Maintains the property but on arrival we found a partially decomposing mouse in the upper level shower and during the stay had large black ants in dinning, kitchen and lower level
Bathroom.
I cleaned up the mouse and dealt with ants as we saw them.
Overall did not let those things deter our trip.
The barn was clean and well stocked. There is magic in this house. She needs some TLC but all in all it was perfect for me. All day you hear birds singing. If you are looking for a quiet place this is the place.
Very nice lodge type setting. The area is beautiful. Beds are good but could use some updated furniture in the great room. Kitchen is well stocked and is large enough to feed a small army. We would definitely stay here again.
The check in process was seamless. The house is easy to find, tucked away from the road but an easy commute to Manchester. The beds were comfy and the kitchen was well stocked for cooking meals at home. Loved the place!
We arrived late at night the accommodations were outstanding. We could not have asked for a more perfect place. When we woke the next day to amazing lush greenest. We enjoyed the entire stay. We actually extended the stay one day to enjoy the place more.
This is a cozy lodge filled with interesting antiques and a drop dead gorgeous location on a private pond. Minutes from the entrance to Bromley Mountain for skiing or summer fun. Well appointed rooms sleep 6 adults and 2 children easily. Woke up to coffee on the deck watching birds. Loved it!
Great home and property! We really enjoyed our stay.
Awesome location, set off of a private road , yet just a short drive to Manchester Village, and restaurants and shops. Custom home, beautiful exposed beams throughout, full of character. Great Communication with Brad.
Thank you!
This was such a charming experience in a rustic cabin that offered everything you would need for your stay.
Communication and directions were outstanding and made this location easy to find.
When we first arrived we thought this would be too close to the main road but honestly once you get inside the peacefulness of this cabin took over and there was a tremendous sigh of relief as the work stress melted away.
Great experience and we all agreed we would come back here again!
Fantastic. So unique. Beautiful place to get snowed in. Skiing 3 miles away, Manchester is only 6 miles away. We stayed here two years ago and loved it. We will be back. Highly recommend.
A terrific get-away to Vermont cabin in the woods, we drove up from Virginia. We spent the week between Christmas and New Years, very close to Bromley Ski mountain, easy drive to Stratton and others. We cooked meals in every night, everything was there that we needed. Played family games after dinner, they have a stocked cabinet full of options. No complaints at all.
Staying at this house was an honor, you can just feel the history inside! If you appreciate authenticity and antiques, this is the stay for you. Heat and hot water were fabulous. Ester was so kind, she even mailed back my friends forgotten laundry (and added in a shirt and hat!!) A piece of my heart is left with this house... We WILL be back!
A true cabin. We decided we had been in the Berenstain Bears’ tree house. Rustic. Thank goodness for fans as it was hot & hard to enjoy the beautiful sun room which must be gorgeous in the winter. Pretty setting ruined by the noisy road close by. Comfortable beds & linens.
