Nice house - needs some love.

This is a pretty house in a nice location. It easily accommodated the 6 adults and 3 children in our group. The common areas are well designed so we were able to be together and apart as we wished. The bedrooms are generous and comfortable. However two of the bedrooms had large walk in closets but no hanging bar or hangers so it was not possible to hang up anything. But here are the problems: 1) house not ready on time - cleaners still there when we arrived and they left a large basked of dirty linens in the laundry area. 2) kitchen has bottom of the line appliances - they work but many need replacing. Never had any ice; the dishwasher was barely operational; the coffee maker was about the cheapest one could buy. 3) there were dishes but the absolutely cheapest available and the silverware was mismatched and sparse. 4) There were no instructions about how the house worked, heat, garbage, etc. Every question had to be referred to the “team” who were responsive. This house needs someone to “inspect it” and make some upgrades. Probably 90% of what needs to happen could be accomplished for less than 1,000. Given the cost of the rental I was disappointed.

Vacation time

The property is beautiful and spacious, your stay was spectacular, there are only a few councils, there are many cobwebs and they occupy more fans in the rooms in summer because it is hot during the day. thank you 😊

Great Location!

This house was a great location for snow fun with kids. Cleanliness could’ve been better, but stay was great. Game room was a big hit. Stairs to entry were completely covered with snow, so you might need to enter through garage!

Family Reunion

This was our second time staying at this property. It has a great layout if you’re traveling with young adults or teens. They have their own space. The beds are comfortable. The only thing I would recommend is to take your own knives, a cutting board, and serving dishes if you’re going with a large group. The kitchen is not stocked as well as other places, but we had a ton of fun and came prepared since we had stayed here before. There’s a beautiful trail nearby and a huge deck in the back to sit and enjoy your coffee in the morning. We would definitely stay here again.

Great stay but…

There was a huge water leak in the upstairs dining window. This went through to the bedroom below which made the kids room unusable. Due to the storm no one came out to fix it.

Great for family stay, house needs a “once over”

The layout of the house is great and there is lots of room. Master bedroom it’s gorgeous, with a great whirlpool tub and the other bedrooms are decent size, and the bonus room is really handy when you have a family. However, place needed some updating. Most of the sinks didn’t drain properly it was just some fix-it stuff that should be taken care of. Also, the 5pm check in is really late and paying $75 to check in at 3 when the house was ready is ridiculous.

Pretty average offering. Kitchen poorly stocked. There was no laundry detergent despite the listing specifically saying there would be detergent provided. Will look for other properties in the future.

Perfect for larger groups!

Wonderful experience, very spacious house with a great layout. Lots of board games to keep your family entertained. The game room is prefect for lounging and sitting by the fireplace or playing pool. The family room had a nicely sized sectional and the kitchen had plenty of plates, mugs and cookware. The cutlery needs to be sharpened or replaced as it requires sawing in order to cut. The master bedroom has a motion detector that flashes at night which is mildly disruption. The master bed seems to have a dip in it but other than those minor things this property was very enjoyable and the property managers replied promptly to my messages.
