Family Ski Trip

Our family ski trip was a success. Michelle’s place was very cozy. The beds were amazing and very comfortable. I think the little touches she gives the place made it very pleasant for us. It was very spacious and if you wanted some quiet time you can find it. I thought the downstairs was nice for our young adults to hangout. We would surely stay again

Weekend trip

We stayed for 2 nights and it was a really pretty home. it was spacious enough room for me and my kids. However, there was 0 water pressure. I couldn't get the shower in master bedroom to come on. It was just a drizzle. Few bugs (dead) on down stairs couch. However, for a two night stay we were overall happy. Driveway is a little scary. If it wasn't for water pressure, i would rent againpt down down stairs

Mountain Getaway

House has plenty of space for a large group -Is great for gatherings or multiple families . It worked great for our group and the game room was nice to have . Games were missing ping pong balls / Fooseball was missing ball . Cabinet door was missing and some upgrades don’t appear to be done well. Water pressure was fine when only one thing was on but could not be used when two were on . Over all we would stay again for a larger group

Nice little get away

Property was convenient nice little property. It could’ve been cleaner. I understand. It’s a pet friendly house but housekeeping could do a much better job. The AC filter in the living was filthy and some boards could use replacing on the walkway to the house. The kids skis in the house were a plus, I believe it was listed to have a snowboard as well but that wasn’t there. I’m sure someone “forgot” to return it. Owner was great at working with us and communication and the game room was a huge plus. The only downfall to the property was housekeeping.

Parents weekend

Booked the stay for parents weekend. Had some issues getting a hold of the property manager but it was resolved quickly by the owner. Water pressure needs work and some of natures little beasties came a calling while we were there but given it’s in the middle of the woods what can you expect. Listing need to be updated states is a 5 bed room but only 4 are set up.

Bad experience

House was disgusting! If no star could be given...the house it self was esthetically pleasing and spacious but the housekeeping was atrocious and unimaginable. My family had to clean everything from the linen to the refrigerator, purchasing cleaning supplies, pillows and shower curtains. The pillows looked liked they came from the trash and the shower curtain had definitely seen better months and years, they were disgusting! When trying to report these issues, the POC was said to relay the message to the owner and we were never contacted or compensated. The pictures tell the story! Do not recommend and will never use this app or owner again!

You get what you pay for

The price point for this property was appealing, however, our stay was not what we hope for. The refrigerator was not working properly and required us to defrost and clean out the freezer. Internet/cable did not work at all. Between the property manager and the host, neither of these problems were address during our week-long stay. The host did offer an 11% discount/refund, but it didn't make up for the inconvenience. The general cleanliness of the place was lacking. There was rodent poison on the kitchen counters and in the cabinets. The air returned was completely felt with dust and debris. There was broken furniture and trash in the yard.The grill was filthy and unusable.

Big open spaces

The cousins loved being on the lowered level with a big TV, air hockey, foosball, games, etc. The adults stayed on the upper level with huge couch, comfy pillows, big dinning area. Beds were super comfy and we didn't have to worry about towels or linens.

Beautiful home

The home was beautiful and spacious for our group of 8 family members. The teenagers enjoyed the ping pong table in the basement while the adults enjoyed coffee on the back porch with the squirrels. The refrigerator didn’t work 100%, and from the kitchen flooring looks like it has been leaking before.

Family New Year’s Eve Weekend

The property was dated but adequate for the 12 of us plus a dog. The ping-pong table and game room provided hours of great fun for children and adults. The location was very convenient to hiking trails and snow tubing and slopes. The property manager was easy to access and attentive. The cleaning crew however left huge amounts of garbage outside as well as wet clothes in the washing machine. The property manager had to send someone the next morning to pick it up, but we had to bring it inside overnight because of attracting animals. There were leaves all on the deck and in the laundry room. The cushions for chairs on the deck were mildewed. There were a few lights and outlets that didn’t work. Even with these few inconveniences, overall it was a great way for our family to begin a new year!!

Do not book this ever !!

Worst experience ever !! 5 families and all I horror .. all rooms were full of dust and full size spiders & Roaches ...no one among the 5 families were comfortable to stay .. infact because of these bugs we preferred not to sleep in bedrooms and all were lying on each other's shoulders in the leaving room ... all games in game room are broken and out of order .. table tennis table was only reason for us to book this one but all bats are broken and in terrible state.... I wish I could show the state of barbeque place .. terrible is an understatement for it ... Please do not think this as an option for your valuable vacation .... we have had our terrible experience so far .. have to bear one additional night here 0 stars and strong oppose from us!!

Don’t stay here!!!!

The pluming was an issue. Had to move the plunger back and forth between bathroom.s. Water pressure was awful. Water was super hot or freezing when taking a shower. Tried to get ahold of the property manger for 3 days about fire wood. The last day he responded and said he’d send someone over but we never did get the wood. I picked wood from outside and got the fire going only to discover that something is wrong with the flu because the down stairs was filled with smoke.The insides of the Pot and pans were coming apart so you could not cook in most of them. The freezer was leaking into the refrigerator ruining food. I reached out to the host before we arrived a d still have not heard from her.

Unbelievably Disappointed

Renter beware. This property is rundown, dirty and in need of repairs. We did have safety issues. The walkway to the front door has rotting wood, loose boards and a big yellow jacket nest. Two of the children were stung and a few of us fell on the rotten parts of the walkway. There was a missing smoke alarm in the kitchen. The water pressure was nonexistent in the main floor of the house. The exhaust for the downstairs bath is a hole in the ceiling. I kid you not! It’s obvious the “fully stocked” kitchenwares were purchased at a thrift store. Nothing matched. The one oversized cooking pot’s bottom was so burned the lining was literally peeling off. I had to go buy a pan to make our meals. On the 5th day of our stay the toilet broke. I contacted the property manager who said they “would try to get out there to fix it”. He never fixed it. This is all in addition to dirty floors, cobwebs and caked dust on air returns. I communicated all of these items to the owner on the 4th day of our stay. She indicated she hasn’t personally visited the property in a long time and depends on her cleaning people and property manager. Big mistake, in my opinion. We planned this vacation for a year and traveled far to get here. We are so disappointed.
