Winterbrook is a 5,000 sq ft, renovated (2023), Colonial Revival family home with room for everyone and is located in historic Manchester Village. Our home is set on a 6-acre lot in Manchester Village historic district--we are just a short walk to the Equinox pond (.5 mi.) and a delightful 5 min., stroll down the tree-lined, marble sidewalks to the Equinox Hotel. We are just across the street from the Ekwanok Country Club and the Equinox Golf course.
This property is perfect for a large group or family and has been very popular with wedding events. Many brides and brides maids have enjoyed a magical stay here. During the summer we host equestrians from all over the country during the 8 week Vermont Summer Equestrian festival. In the winter, Winterbrook is in high demand for outdoor sports enthusiasts during the prime ski weeks.
Winterbrook’s in-town location can't be beat and the privacy and amenities of the property will wow you. Our home has been selected as the backdrop for the Orivs Dog Catalogue, Spring, 2024 and was recently as used as the setting for 2025 The Vermont Country Store Catalogue. The property offers sweeping meadow views, large continually blooming summer gardens and lawn areas, fire pit, a babbling brook (seasonal) and views of Equinox mountain. The home has many access points to the beautiful grounds. A newly constructed patio, designed and built using marble and bluestone slabs sourced from the local quarries, is accessed from the kitchen and the dining room. It is a wonderful area to sit and gaze at the meadow and towering birch tree views or to enjoy a family meal. The patio is outfitted with seating for ten, with 2, 50-inch round tables. There is also a Solo stove/fire pit on the patio for those who don't want to venture to the firepit out in the meadow. A small kids' cottage in the back yard is a fun discovery--with porch and twin beds for summer sleeping.

Inside:
Our home offers spacious rooms with lots of natural light. The upstairs offers 3 en suite bedrooms. 2 of these rooms have 2 full-sized beds. These bedrooms are great for couples or for kids who are smaller and can share a full-sized bed. The 3rd en-suite bedroom upstairs has fun built-in beds with trundles and 2 antique cannon ball twin beds. The Master bedroom is on 1st floor and has a spacious en suite bath. The master has a separate sitting area and 2 closets and windows look out at back lawn, large birch trees and large flower garden. The master bed, itself an heirloom from Leonards, is a tiger maple king bed.

All of our linens are high quality (100% cotton) and we provide down comforters/duvets (colder months) and beautiful quilts (warmer months) for all of the beds in the home as well as ample amounts of pillows!

A large, gorgeous eat-in kitchen. The kitchen was designed with a large family or group in mind and has excellent circulation and accessibility in order for many to be in it at once. The center island is topped with Vermont Danby marble and measures 5’ x 10’. The island houses 2nd sink, dishwasher, 2 refrigerator drawers, 2nd oven and drawer microwave. The island seats 2 and the kitchen table seats 6. A gas fireplace with custom mantel and hearth is the focal point of the room and it is flanked by 2, deep seated club chairs. Appliances are Thermador, Bosch and Meile.

A huge mud-room. This is the most-used entrance as it is closest to the garage--and is attached by a covered porch. The mudroom has a separate boot room w/antique pocket doors, large comfortable bench for gearing up or taking off and plenty of room for coats, boots, ski apparel, etc. there is ample shelving for ski bag storage.

There are 2 family rooms on the 1st floor. The 1st is a sophisticated library-style w/ a wet bar and wood burning fireplace. This room has a puzzle table and seats 6-7 comfortably. The 2nd is a very large great room w/ a 80” flat screen smart TV, ping pong, foosball. Custom built-ins flank an entire wall, stocked with games, activities, puzzles, etc. There are 3 large and very comfortable couches and large, comfortable club chairs.

A home office is located off of the kitchen and can be closed off for privacy. The office has a generously sized built-in desk, cabinets w/ printer etc. and looks out to the patio, yard, birches and garden.

    We had a fantastic long weekend in Manchester! The house is beautiful, clean, and very large. There were 8 of us, and there was more than enough room. The kitchen is great...well stocked with cooking essentials and high-end appliances. Suzy is a very accommodating host and was quick to respond throughout the process. We are already looking forward to booking our next trip!

    I have stayed at many VRBO homes, yet this is my first review. This house is beautiful with a gourmet kitchen, multiple spots to enjoy a meal and two fireplaces (one gas, one wood) that made our stay even more enjoyable on cold, snowy evenings. Our boys loved the large game/tv/family room, and the adults loved the elegant and cozy sitting room. This home is private and secluded with a large yard---featuring two remarkable birch trees--yet easily walkable to Manchester's historic district, restaurants, yoga, as well as the Equinox Resort and mountain hiking trails. Access to Bromley and Stratton skiing is also convenient. The owner is very responsive, kind and has lovely decorating taste. I highly recommend this home for a relaxing and memorable Vermont escape!

    Incredibly spacious home! Private and secluded location, yet very convenient to town and skiing. Our favorite indoor spot was around the kitchen fireplace and banquette nook. The grounds are amazing, not just the views but the allure to go out and romp in the backyard snow -- which we all did, young and old! Shared friendly communication with Suzy from the outset on all matters; she is a very accommodating host.

The house offered plenty of spacious bedrooms and was very well-equipped, making it easy to relax and enjoy our time there. I would absolutely stay here again and again!

    Our stay at Steps from Equinox was absolutely magical! From the moment we arrived, I felt like I had stepped onto the set of a Christmas movie. The house is even more spectacular than in the photos – exuding warmth and comfort. It didn’t take long for me to feel completely at home. (about 5 seconds!)The home is tastefully decorated and cozy, yet spacious enough for everyone to enjoy their own private moments when needed.The renovated kitchen is stunning – beautifully designed with every detail thoughtfully planned. It is stocked with every tool you could possibly need – from bowls and pots to cutting boards and utensils. A beautiful charcuterie board was ready for serving, along with high-quality glassware, flatware, and dishes. No detail was overlooked, ensuring we had everything we needed to cook, serve, and enjoy meals with ease and style. The kitchen became the heart of the home for the week, and we all agreed that the cozy seating area around the gas fireplace was our favorite spot.The property itself is a winter wonderland, with the grounds blanketed in snow – the perfect holiday backdrop. And it is literally just steps from Equinox Pond, where we enjoyed a glorious stroll on a crisp (19 degrees!) Christmas morning.Suzy, the host, could not have been more gracious or attentive. The house was immaculate when we arrived, and she went out of her way to make us feel welcome. Thank you, Suzy, for making our Christmas week memorable!

    Absolutely stunning home! Set back away from the road on a beautifully manicured property with tons of privacy, this home is everything we could have hoped for. We stayed here for our wedding weekend and did tons of getting ready photos and bridal party photos. The kitchen is gorgeous, and wonderfully sized. The home has many rooms which is great for large parties and is beautifully decorated. It’s a mix of modern VT farmhouse with a French upscale flair. Suzy was quick to respond to every questions, couldn’t recommend enough!

    This is an exquisite home on the most beautiful street in Manchester. Wonderful location close to town,hiking trails, golf and the Equinox. The open floor plan of the downstairs is wonderful. The entertainment room complete with large screen TV and ping pong was a wonderful gathering place. The beautifully renovated kitchen is completely stocked with everything needed to make a fabulous dinner. The beds are all super comfortable. The host is lovely and very responsive. Hope to return.
