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 $75 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 license.

Honeymoon cottage is a lovely little cabin. Having been touring New England for 3 weeks we wanted a place to just relax for a few days. Well this place fitted the bill perfectly. It is very comfortable, the weather was just staring to get a bit cooler but with the log fire and the heating it was very cosy. Easy check in and everything you could need.
Amazing location for those who love the outdoors. Located within steps of the Appalachian and Long trails with a nice hike to the summit of Bromley Mountain. Manchester town center is about a 15 minutes drive. The place is very cute with all of the amenities. Great all around!
If I could give the Honeymoon Cottage 11 out of 10 stars, I would!Everything was lovely- it was just fantastic. We loved the cottage itself, the location, everything. It was cozy and comfortable. We will 100% be booking another stay.
We had a lovely stay at the cottage. The inside was just as described, with the highlights being the huge jacuzzi tub and the adorable kitchen. The only thing worth noting is that the description of the property does not mention that it is right off a main road in VT, so the car noise is quite loud most of the day—at night it’s fairly quiet though. Also, the couch was barely big enough for two people to get comfortable, so that’s the only minor complaint I had about the inside.
As this represents our second stay at the Honeymoon Cottage we are already talking another trip to Winhall. Needless to say we enjoy the rustic appeal and location, with close proximity to the AT and Vermont’s Long Trail; close enough to Manchester for dinner; or tours of the Orvis fly rod factory, American Fly Fishing Museum or Hildene
Absolutely perfect getaway for a weekend. Cottage is so warm and inviting and smells like a cottage in the woods should! We loved the music upstairs and down, walks to the pond and beyond, and the amazing jacuzzi. We will definitely be back - what a perfect way to spend our 25th anniversary. We would love to read more about the history of the building/land if available!
What a wonderful place to stay! My boyfriend and I too advantage of the beautiful deck and had coffee and dinner on it every day. We also used the charcoal grill to cook dinner and the wood stove outside, for a beautiful outside dining expereince! We would love to come back again!
Such a beautiful location and a lovely getaway. The decor was perfect and we had everything we needed on site. Minutes away from amazing hikes, swimming holes and gorgeous views. 10 out of 10!
We had an incredible time staying at the cottage and can't wait to visit again sometime! From hiking, sitting on the porch drinking coffee, cooking while listening to music, and enjoying time on the pond, everything about our stay was perfect.
Very nice, no complaints very quiet little road with just two cottages on it. If going in the summer time make sure to bring bug spray if walking outside. Nice little pond for fishing. Shops and restaurants only 10 minutes away.
I was very impressed on how cute this little cottage was. It was very peaceful and private. The place has everything you need. The road is too close for my liking. You could hear the cars going by which was a bummer. Visited some waterfalls near by which were awesome. Bring a suit if it's hot. Pond was low due to much needed rain so we didn't fish. All in all, we really enjoyed our stay.
Cabin was very quaint, charming with a rustic feel and modern amenities. Focal point of the cabin was the wooden spiral staircase and the two stone fireplaces.
Very cozy cabin for a weekend getaway. Multiple fireplaces with plenty of firewood available. Great place to curl up with a book or lots of shopping / restaurants in the area.
This location was excellent for reaching many beautiful trails within a 15 min drive. The bed was very comfortable and after racking a dozen miles of hiking, the spa tub was very helpful!Many migrating birds surround this cottage, which were a delight from the kitchen window and the deck.We enjoyed ourselves and would love to return to VT again!
Relaxing getaway for my husband and I.Soothing creek sounds from our bedroom.Cozy kitchen for meal preparation together.Close proximity to Manchester center.
The cabin was everything we thought it was going to be! Cozy and enjoyed the fireplace.

My wife and family took down a small barn in Warwick, NY. Trucked the hand-hewn beams to Vermont and built this cottage by hand. This little honeymoon cottage is a labor of love. Enjoy it with love!
