Couldn't be happier with the property. Beautiful views of the mountains and just enough off the beaten path that you have plenty of privacy. Nick was very helpful and communicative from start to finish.

Bromley ski trip
Very clean, accessible and perfect for our ski group reunion. Hopefully can return next year.
This house is in a great location and has everything you need to feel at home. Great house to cook in or sit out on the porch. Quick rides to town or out for a hike.
More importantly Nick was so great to work with; anyone who stays here is in good hands.
Thank you for everything Nick!
Can’t wait to come back.
A cozy place to spend a white Christmas in Vermont. 5 charming minutes through historic Manchester. Clean and comfortable, it had everything we needed. we appreciated the owner had the driveway plowed after the snow storm. Definitely recommend!
Nice little rustic cottage in Manchester. Check in was easy. The cottage was clean and well kept. It is only a short drive into town. One thing of note is that there is no dishwasher which was fine for us. Would recommend this cottage to anyone staying in Manchester.
Brook Trout Cottage was a perfect fit for our family of 4 (and 2 small dogs too). We were in town to visit family in Bennington, and even though the ‘historic’ rains & flooding occurred, we were safe & dry here. The washer & dryer were a huge plus for us! Mary was great with quick communication, everything was exactly as advertised. We would definitely stay here again!
Super cute restored cottage for people able to go up and down steep, narrow stairs. The creaking of the master bed was really unpleasant and I would highly recommend a new one. Plenty of space for two people to relax after a day of hiking. Loved that it's close to town, but also remote enough to be quiet at the end of the day.
Wonderful and just perfect!!
Really well equipped. Can’t say enough good things about it!
Second stay here and again it worked beautifully for us.
Location is ideal. Just out of town with an easy drive to everything Manchester has to offer.
Nick, the owner, is super easy to talk to. Just a great guy. There when needed. Otherwise we had the privacy and relaxation time we so needed.
Am already looking forward to the next stay! MANY THANKS Nick, for having us!

Cozy, comfortable, charming!
We had a wonderful experience here! Everything was clean, well maintained, and exactly what we needed for our little getaway! (Wedding)
We have an infant that really enjoyed watching the cows mosey by in the pasture across the street - we enjoyed it also :) Spectacular views of the trees and mountains. Super close and convenient to the Lincoln Hildene Home, where the wedding was located. The Equinox Valley Nursery is just around the corner and also has some fun fall activities.
The owner, Molly is very responsive and was a pleasure!
Thank you, Molly! We love Brook Trout Cottage and hope to return some day!!!

Cutest cottage!!
Stayed with my husband and 2 grown sons (21 and 17). Even though it's a small cottage, everyone had enough room to spread out and be comfortable. Great location that gave us the feeling of a country life while a close proximity to the shopping and dining in Manchester Center. We didn't have high speed internet or favorite cable channels, which boys weren't too crazy about, it forced us to spend time as a family, reading, exploring the area and being amazed with those gorgeous mountains. Having the close encounter with the peaceful cows in front of the house was fun!!
We loved so many things about this house! It was clean, well stocked, easy to get to, very convenient to town, the drive was beautiful, it was peaceful, and had everything we needed. I would 100% book this place again.
This absolutely adorable ☺️ little cottage was one off my favorite places to stay :: It was like back home in Ireland :: So clean, it was immaculate.. The linens & beds were perfect 🤩… I wish I could give it a 10 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☘️☘️☘️☘️.. I will be back next year for sure .. Thank you 🙏 so much ..Josephine & Karleen ☘️☘️
This cottage is charming, clean, and has a rural but updated feel. The color tones of blues and whites makes it feel very happy and the downstairs kitchen, back entry and table area is large and lofty feeling; perfect for dinners, laughter and visiting. There is only one bathroom, perfectly adequate and the private downstairs bedroom is comfty and has all you need with a single day bed and trundle. Upstairs is small, with very steep steps but both bedrooms are comfortable with a queen in one and set of twins in the other. Linens, blankets and matresses all in great shape. This cottage sits right on the road, which is typical of the farms and spaces in VT-and although limited traffic, vehicles do go by quickly. It wasn't noisy, but more of a safety thought for anyone with kids or dogs. Our dog was fine hanging in the small and private back yard area but note the property is not entirely fenced in. The views, landscapes, scenery and relaxing atmosphere made for a great weekend and Molly was super easy to communicate with. I highly recommend!
My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Trout Brook Cottage. The cottage provided everything we needed. There were beautiful hiking trails within 10 minutes of the cottage, a quick drive into Manchester Center, and the pup totally enjoyed meeting all the locals and other vacationers at the local dog park! Hope to return soon.
Tranquil and off the beaten path yet close to everything. Clean, charming, well equipped vacation home ideal for weekend getaway or longer stay. Wish we had time to stay longer!
