About Trout Pond:

A perfect getaway for family and friends! Very private yet right in town, this spacious home is located within walking distance to Manchester’s upscale outlets, famed Northshire Bookstore, and the Orvis Flagship store, as well as numerous restaurants, grocery store and quaint local shops. 10 minutes from Bromley Mountain and 25 minutes from Stratton and Magic Mountains, hit the slopes or simply retreat to this 3-acre property and enjoy the surrounding mountain views and active stream in a location that offers extraordinary access to the amenities that will make your stay a relaxing and memorable one.

This 4300-square foot home is large enough for hosting multiple families and entertaining while still providing a sense of togetherness for couples and small families alike. A rustic great room with exposed A-frame beams features an impressive stacked-stone fireplace flanked by French doors leading to a bluestone patio. Make a fire inside and relax while you take in extraordinary views of Equinox Mountain. The living room flows into a large gourmet kitchen equipped with Viking and Sub-Zero appliances, a center island, granite counters, and farmhouse sink. A wine refrigerator, Nespresso coffee maker, and wireless Sonos music system are just a few of the amenities that round out this ideal living space.

There is a separate dining room with seating for 8-10, as well as a study with a Queen sleeper sofa and gas fireplace – perfect for a little quiet time to enjoy a book, or spend time with family and friends playing one of our many board games for young and old alike. Warming radiant flooring and an abundance of Vermont touches can be found throughout the first floor.

The master bedroom is on the first floor and features a king bed and walk-in closet, as well as an en-suite private bath with separate claw-foot tub and walk-in shower. On the second floor are three additional bedrooms, each with en-suite private baths: one with a king bed and views of Green Mountain; the second with a queen bed plus twin-over-full bunk beds and walk-in closet; and a third with a queen bed that stretches out before French doors leading to a balcony with breathtaking views of Equinox Mountain.

Down the hall from the bedrooms are twin doors leading to a large, inviting rec room with an oversized sectional and 65” smart TV that is perfect for gaming and family movies.

For additional entertainment, enjoy outdoor living with an dining set for 8 and stainless steel Weber grill. The comfortable unfinished full basement space is equipped with shuffle board and corn hole courts.

Additionally, Trout Pond features a large heated 2-car garage with ample ski storage. At the end of your stay, take advantage of the garage’s central vacuum for a quick clean up before you go.

Wonderful Host Great Location
We’ve stayed here several times and will definitely be back! The location is completely private but still within walking distance to downtown shops and restaurants. We also love that all bedrooms have their own bathrooms! Katie is one of the kindest hosts you’ll ever come across and will bend over backwards to make sure your stay is perfect.

About the host

Hosted by Katie Volz

Host profile image
We are a family of five from Connecticut with 3 children ages 12 and under. We began coming to Manchester several years ago and realized we wanted to become more a part of the town and create memories with family and friends for years to come. We established this home with the intention of being able to come up as often as our children's activities would allow. For now, we are really loving having others enjoy it and make it part of their family’s memories.

Why they chose this property

We recently purchased this home after falling in love with its location, amenities, and ability to accommodate large groups while still maintaining a comfortable and cozy feel. We have enjoyed decorating it and making nice-to-have improvements, while appreciating the quality construction of this home. What sold us was the in-town location, but the home itself was exactly what we were looking for - a feeling of being "away from it all" but close enough to walk to all of Manchester's many restaurants and shops, and with mountain views! This home in particular appealed to us because of the en-suite bedrooms; we knew that we wanted families and groups alike to stay here and enjoy each other, but we wanted everyone to have their own space when they just need some quiet time. With every bedroom having its own bathroom, along with recreational space on every floor, it was perfect for us.
