By Manchester, VT-Circa 1840 Hand Hewn Barn on private pond close to skiing.

Located 6 miles from Manchester Center. Minutes from Bromley and Magic Mountain Ski Centers and within 25 minutes from Stratton and Okemo. Killington and Mount Snow are within a one hour drive. Lodge sits on 13 bucolic acres surrounded by National Forest overlooking trout pond. This property is also in the middle of a bird sanctuary. Natural scented flower gardens around front porch. Cathedral ceilings in living room / dining room, with massive cobblestone fireplace. Glassed screened porch. Free-form decks. Fully equipped kitchen. 2 full baths upstairs bath has jacuzzi jets. Barn Sleeps 6 adults and 2 to 4 children. The 3 bedrooms each have a queen bed. There is a loft area upstairs that has 2 twin trundle beds that can sleep 4 when opened. 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 $100 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.

Stay at Beaver Dam Lodge
We loved our stay at the lodge. We had two couples and kids ranging in age from 2 to 12. We did lots of skiing at Bromley but loved having Manchester so close to explore. The pinball arcade was a great rainy day activity for kids! The house was amazing and bigger than we imagined, we were all extremely comfortable. The only thing to mention is the stairs and upstairs loft are a bit scary for little ones. We blocked them with a baby gate and didn’t let the two year old up there, but it was fine for the big kids. We can’t wait to plan another stay next year!

Beautiful way to spend Christmas
We spent the very first Christmas away from home and into a home that made the holiday a wonderful memory for us. We have stayed at this property in the summer and both seasons did not disappoint. The property is in a secluded area, quiet and very close to skiing. I would book and stay here forever if I could. MM

Beaver Damn Stay
It was wonderful to return to this cozy welcoming property. I stayed in the other house maybe 6 or 7 years in a row quite some time ago. You can tell it’s such a family place. Everything was easy, comfortable and the spot is just amazing. We couldn’t have been happier.

Cozy lodge with beautiful view
This is a cozy lodge filled with interesting antiques and a drop dead gorgeous location on a private pond. Minutes from the entrance to Bromley Mountain for skiing or summer fun. Well appointed rooms sleep 6 adults and 2 children easily. Woke up to coffee on the deck watching birds. Loved it!

An absolute Gem!
Staying at this house was an honor, you can just feel the history inside! If you appreciate authenticity and antiques, this is the stay for you. Heat and hot water were fabulous. Ester was so kind, she even mailed back my friends forgotten laundry (and added in a shirt and hat!!) A piece of my heart is left with this house... We WILL be back!

Great getaway in VT
This was such a charming experience in a rustic cabin that offered everything you would need for your stay. Communication and directions were outstanding and made this location easy to find. When we first arrived we thought this would be too close to the main road but honestly once you get inside the peacefulness of this cabin took over and there was a tremendous sigh of relief as the work stress melted away. Great experience and we all agreed we would come back here again!
