Brookfield, Vermont
This cottage was designed as a year around home with central heat. It provides a quiet place to enjoy your vacation while being near a number of attractions and support services. It was not impacted by the July, 2023 flood. The interior can be all on one level. There is one step onto the porch and one step from the porch to the interior of the cottage. There is also a rainy day room in the basement with card table and foosball table. There are two bedrooms, each with a Queen sized bed, closet/or a bureau. There are two full bathrooms, one with tub shower combination with a washer and dryer and one bathroom with a shower only. The fully equipped kitchen with electric stove & oven, full sized refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, etc. looks out on the west pond. The dining and living area has hardwood floors and views of both ponds (leaves permitting). During the occasional hot weather, good cross ventilation is enhanced by window fans. Fiber optic 300 mps internet access and local phone service, a 50" Roku HD TV with blue ray player, and some DVDs are provided. The fireplace is for ambiance only with no fires allowed. There is a fire pit on the grassy dock area. There is a charcoal grill near the cottage. The screened-in front porch provides an alternate dining, sitting or computer work area with a view of the ponds. Twin Ponds was created by a glacier (10,000 to 14,000 years ago) and is about 45 feet deep at the deepest point. There is a grassy boat dock and sandy play area. There is great fishing (VT fishing license required), a diving float and two boats available. Typical of the rural part of Central Vermont we have a full array of wild animals to include deer, black bears, eagles, loons, turkeys, turtles, etc. Our 228 acre Christmas tree farm is available for hiking, bird watching and a complimentary Christmas tree farm tour can be scheduled.
Nice, relaxed stay.
It was quiet and had a fabulous view of two ponds, thus the name. The drive way is a little tricky but once you drive in just go slow and back in your car for an easy drive out when you leave. Lew was thoughtful and kind as the owner.
We have stayed here twice and always have a great time.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Twin Ponds. With a well stocked, cozy cottage, evening fires by the water, and daily kayaking, we steeped ourselves in nature while enjoying the comforts of home. There's a bit of a hill down to the ponds but the exercise of walking up a couple of times a day was good for us and didn't deter us.
This cottage provided us with the peace and quiet we needed. Swimming, sunning, cozy indoors.
This is an amazing property in Brookfield Vt. The property is as advertised. Very well equipped cottage on a large pond with lots of fish, two boats and other wildlife. A perfect get away!
We had a great time in vermont. This house is centrally located to see many of the covered bridges and waterfalls in Vermont. We did not use the watercrafts as it was a little chilly to be on the lake in early June. The front porch was a lifesaver as you could sit outside with the bugs.
We enjoyed our stay at Twin Ponds. The secluded cottage was peaceful and the fishing was good. Lew was a great host.
Twin ponds is a tranquil getaway. Listening to the birds and pond frogs is so relaxing. The cabin is so comfy. And you could not ask for a better host. We always love coming to Vermont and staying at twin ponds.
The pictures showed a fireplace. The amenities showed a fireplace BUT the fireplace did not work.. Each year we look forward to vacationing in cooler weather and enjoying fireplace. That is one requirement that always depends on whether we rent a place. Very disappointed to be misled.
Outstanding warm water fishing. Largemouth bass and chain pickerel both in good numbers & size. Very private and quiet at the cottage, on the ponds, and on nice long walks.
Family of 4 (kids 13 and 14) had a great stay of 8 days. Whether fishing in the pond, hiking (we hiked Mt. Abraham and Mt. Mansfield), trail running (several options), touring (maple syrup, cheese farms, natural scenery) we had a great time. The house itself is quite isolated, which we wanted but may not be for everyone. It is also a little old, but charming. 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a laundry really helped.
If your truly looking to get away this is the place. Most of the the sound you will hear are nature. No cars,voices just peace. The ponds are beautiful and fishing not bad.
Lew was a great Host and the property was perfect.
