Afsondret, men tilgængeligt sommerhus på to damme

My father always wanted a trout pond. He cut wild Christmas trees on the property for many years and purchased the property for the family in 1958. In 1961 the family purchased the adjoining property which now has most of the Christmas tree fields. It turned out that Twin Ponds has a mix of fish that are not compatible with trout. The State of Vermont in the 1950s and 60s took possession of several ponds in the area that were 20 acres or more and killed all of the fish in those ponds. They stocked them with trout and created access for the public to fish. Twin ponds has the traditional mix of fish. The Chain Pickerel and Large Mouth Bass eat small trout if they enter the ponds by either of the two brooks. Occasionally a larger surviving trout is caught. However the mix of fish (Large Mouth Bass, Chain Pickerel, Perch and catfish) is desirable because at least one of the four main species are likely to bite sometime most days.
Brookfield was primarily a farming community and while it still has farms, now mostly it is residential country properties with significant acreage. Twin Pond Road is a class three town maintained gravel road on both ends but the middle portion is class four, minimally maintained by the town. The West end connecting the cottage is class three and is well maintained. The cottage is set off from the town road to provide seclusion but still have easy access to Twin Pond Road. Because of the portion in the middle, there is not as much through traffic which makes the road safer for hiking.

One of the most popular areas of the cottage is the screened-in porch which is approximately 24 x 12 feet. There is a glider with new deep cushions and several chairs and a table so that your family can gather for meals, plug into power for extended laptop/tablet use, enjoy the view of the woods, lawns and ponds or just take a nap. The cottage is just high enough above the ponds to have a nice breeze but only a short walk from the beach and boats (a pedal boat and a 12 foot row boat). The porch is also the home of Badminton, Croquet, big tubes, life vests, horseshoes and other outdoor fun items.
Recently we have added a Rainy Day Room in the walk out basement that has a Foosball table, card table and four chairs with an assortment of games to make up for the fact that is raining outside. You are encouraged to also bring your favorite games.
