About this property

Steps to Equinox Hotel and close to Skiing & Summer Equestrian Festival

Winterbrook is a 5,000 sq ft, renovated (2023), family home with room for everyone located in the Manchester Village district. Our home is set on one of the largest in-town lots in Historic Manchester Village--a short walk to the Equinox pond (.5 mi.) and a delightful, tree-lined stroll on the marble sidewalks to the Equinox Hotel.

While this in-town location can't be beat, 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 and 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. Master bedroom windows look out at back lawn, large birch trees and large flower garden. The master bed itself is an heirloom, tiger maple king bed.

All of our linens are high quality and we provide down comforters/duvets for all of the beds in the home as well as ample amount of pillows!

Large, gorgeous eat-in kitchen with a very large island with sink, dishwasher, refrigerator drawers, 2nd oven and drawer microwave. The island seats 2 and the kitchen table seats 6. A beautiful gas fireplace is the focal point of the room. The kitchen was designed with a large family or group in mind and has excellent circulation and accessibility for many to be in it at once. 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 are 2 family rooms on the 1st floor. The 1st is a library-style w/ 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 2 large and very comfortable couches and large and comfortable chairs.

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

Security Camera: We have 1 outdoor camera on the front of the house pointing towards the driveway/rubbish bin and 2 in the back of the house, one on the large patio off the kitchen and the other on the patio off the great room. These are for property security purposes. They also allow us to monitor heavy snow fall, maintenance workers, downed trees, and wildlife in the area, etc. Please be aware that there are no cameras anywhere else on the property. We respect your privacy and take it very seriously. Events: please reach out.

Incredibly spacious!

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.

Absolutely Perfect!

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful house—it was so comfortable and inviting! The property was perfect for our group with young kids, who had a blast playing outside and exploring the area. 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!

Magical Week at "Steps From Equinox"

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!

Magical property in Manchester

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!

Horse Show and Golf in Manchester.

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.

Spring Break Stay

I recently stayed at a Winterbrook property and I must say I had an amazing experience. From the beginning to the end, everything exceeded my expectations. When I arrived, I was very impressed with how clean and comfortable the rental was. It was exactly as described in the listing. The location was perfect.

Dream Weekend!

Suzy’s home provided the perfect location for a fall long weekend. The two floors of living space and the beautiful outdoor grounds provided us with the perfect spot to relax and enjoy time together as a family. The location was ideal for accessing nearby hiking trails and walks into the center of Manchester Village. The spacious kitchen made meal preparations a cinch. The many sitting areas provided ample space for everyone to do their own thing whether it was playing ping pong, foosball, puzzle building, relaxing in front of the fireplace, reading, etc. The outdoor space provided ample room for outdoor activities, and the patio complete with a Solo Stove firepit was the perfect spot to sit and relax. Thanks for sharing your home with us! We are looking forward to returning in the future.

Weekend Getaway

We had a picturesque getaway at this private and spacious residence, all thanks to Suzy! She had open communication to prepare us for our stay and even left a thoughtful gift basket. The linens and beddings were top notch and the shower pressure left nothing to be desired. A mere 30 minutes from Stratton Mountain, we made the most of our time in Vermont. Bonds were formed, memories were made, and bruises that may last a lifetime. Thank you for opening your home to us!
