Very nice cottage

John, the host, was great; he met us and explained everything. The hot tub was wonderful after a long day. Peaceful and quiet place in the country. Easy driving to Manchester and Benningtion.

Awesome overall!

My girlfriend and I were looking to get away for a long weekend to just relax and this place was perfect for that. The house is spacious, completely charming and very clean. The fireplace really makes it cozy and the hot tub was wonderful with a great view of the mountains, especially at night when you could see all the stars. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and that was a concern of mine before hand. It is not far from Manchester, which has a lot of restaurants and shopping. The host was great with the communication and all the local goodies that they provided were so thoughtful, delicious and totally unexpected. We would come back and stay here again in a heartbeat, would highly recommend this place. Steve and Karen

Peaceful

We enjoyed our stay at the Trout House. It was clean, comfortable and oh so peaceful. The furniture was super comfortable. The view from the deck was fabulous. Proximity to both Bennington and Manchester was great. We would definitely return.

Relaxing Long Weekend

We enjoyed a relaxing long weekend at John and Anne's cottage. The view of the mountains and Battenkill from the deck and hot tub is beautiful, and the cottage itself is cozy and tastefully decorated with a modern bathroom and kitchen. It is clear a lot of love and work was put into it! It was a great base for exploring Manchester and hiking in the Green Mountains. John and Anne were accommodating, welcoming, and available for questions/recommendations. We highly recommend staying at The Trout House and hope to be back!

Scenic, tranquil retreat in quintessential New England

We thoroughly enjoyed the New England experience of the area. The beauty of the view from the cottage and deck is wonderful and the proximity to the Battenkill River is great. The cottage is rustic, but lovely, with a wonderful, modern kitchen and bath. The area is steeped in history as well as beauty. We loved our time in the Arlington, Bennington, Manchester area and are looking forward to returning.

About the host

Hosted by John and Anne

John and Anne raised their kids in Arlington and have been active members of the community since 2000. They are outdoors oriented and know the area well especially the parks, rivers and streams and are happy to share their knowledge and love of this beautiful Vermont hamlet.

Why they chose this property

We discovered this special valley tucked-in between the Green and Tacomic mountain ranges while venturing out from Boston to chase trout in the mid - 90s. We just fell in love with the river, valley, history and peacefulness of this place and decided to make it our home.

What makes this property unique

Norman Rockwell, Robert Frost and many other composers, Hollywood producers, etc. have gravitated to this special place over the years. We think, like us, you will love your time here.

The property is on the national register of historic places and was built in 1861. While in a historic village, the guest house provides tremendous privacy and overlooks a horse pasture, the Battenkill river and Taconic mountain range. It's really the best of both worlds.
