The house offered everything it said it did and more. Working with Vacasa was a great experience, I had a few questions when first arriving which they got in touch with me in a very timely manner.
House has great hot tub, game room and area in kitchen and living room which our large group gathered for meals and drinks. View was amazing. We had a good amount of snow and they did an amazing job with blowing. We hope to get back soon.

We thoroughly enjoyed this property! We had family and a few friends stay for a ski week between Christmas and New Year's. Mother Nature didn't really cooperate in terms of the skiing, but the location was great as there was plenty of room for folks to spread out to read, do jigsaw puzzles, paint or play pool and ping pong in the basement. My son even played the piano spontaneously a few times! The beds and pillows are super comfortable which is a big factor in our enjoyment in a place so we were happy about that. We also enjoyed the hot tub on some gray and misty days! The living room furniture was a bit worn but super comfy and cozy around a nice gas fire. The only thoughts for improvement I might share with the owners is that the kitchen pots/pans are quite bad. The non-stick pans are so scraped up that the coating is peeling off -- which is both unhealthy as well as ineffective. There are some areas that need painting that look like they were patched and haven't been finished so it would be nice if those little touches were painted given the price point. A few more kid sized glasses would be lovely -- but there were plenty of wine/ martini glasses and coffee mugs! ;-). But those were very minor points and didn't interfere with our enjoyment of our vacation at all. We would definitely stay there again!

The house is worn and and in dire need of some TLC from it's owner. While the home is huge with big rooms the furnishings are worn. The family room couch was old/worn with equally worn/old/smelly pillows. The kitchen pots and pans were old/rusty and put away dirty. Glassware was old plastic. There was broken stereo. The overhead fan light in the family room didn't work so we could barely see each other when the sun went down. The fireplace didn't work. We couldn't use the ping pong table or the pool table because the ping pong paddles were broken and there were no chalk points at the end of the pool sticks and the pool table needs new felt. The rugs were horribly stained. The posted view is from the fire pit which is below the house. The view from the house blocked by tall trees and no view of the mountains but the view is nice. I wished I had paid attention to some of the reviews as I thought the people writing the reviews were just being "picky" rather than "truthful". This home is in dire need of some TLC from the owner before renting to another unsuspecting vacationing family.

The pictures of this rental were nothing like what i was shown, it was unsafe for my children, I contacted the Vacasa company and nobody got back to me about any of the conditions I walked into and I even sent them photos showing I how horrible and deceiving the rental was.

The layout of place worked perfectly for our guests. It is very quiet being the last house on the dirt road. It has some nice views of the mountains.

This house was fantastic! We are used to staying slopeside but this house made it worth it to not be slopeside. An Amazing kitchen, living area loved that we could all be together and plenty of room for reverse charades!

Property looked exactly as advertised in photos, really great. The view from the deck and dining area was even better than expected. The mattress on at least one bed was a bit caved in, and the futon was in pretty rough shape, but that wasn't a big problem for us. Everything else was great.

Property was as advertised with a great location, beautiful views, and plenty of room for 15 adults and kids. The problem was with the maintenance of the property. Loaded the dishwasher and got up the next morning to water on the floor. Guess we should have noticed the flooring in front of the dishwasher had been replaced. Took out the dishes and found mold on the silverware rack and side of dishwasher (maybe a drainage problem). The master bathroom tub was also a problem. First time we tried to use the shower the faucet handle would just spin around, no water. We contacted Vacasa (property manager) and got a response in 24 hours, but the house instructions had no valid contact numbers. We did talk to the cleaning lady and she said they were aware of the problems and thought they were waiting on parts. Would have been nice to know ahead of time and been better prepared.
The property would have rated 5 stars if we hadn't run into these issues. I would recommend that you verify the house has been fixed before booking, but it looks like a great location for fall foliage and winter skiing. We'd definitely recommend it for summer activities.

The house had everything it said - and was really easy to use with a lot of people, babies, and dogs. Very easy to get in and clear instructions. Kitchen was well set up for cooking … we had problems with the alarm system ringing at 3 in the morning and issues with the smoke detector alarms - which delayed/impacted our ability to enjoy the short weekend. Also, there was a lot of bugs/flies (dead and alive) everywhere which impacted cleanliness

Myself, and group of friends book a house every year. So far this house has been one of our favorites! Breath taking views, the hot tub is a bonus, pretty secluded, and ample space for everyone (Group of 15). We also love that the kitchen was fully stocked w/ cooking supplies. (We do a lot of cooking!). Would definitely book again.

This house was just what we were looking for to accommodate our group (three families) for a week long ski trip at Sunday River. It is in a good location (close to town and ski mountain) had a great layout with ample space for us, and a lot of nice amenities like a hot tub, game room, and full kitchen. Unfortunately, there were several hiccups throughout our stay that make it very difficult to give this property a high rating. I have reached out to Vacasa in an attempt to address the issues we had during our stay - both during our stay and after check-out, and I am extremely frustrated that Vacasa does not seem interested in resolving my complaints. I was directed to the local property manager by Vacasa's general customer service representative. However, despite several attempts to reach local property management at Vacasa Maine, I have not received a response to my calls/messages. The issues we encountered: the property was not available at check-in time (cleaning service still on property), the cleaning staff was in the house without any masks/face coverings, the cleaning service was not thorough (high touch points in kitchen very obviously not wiped clean and floors sticky), drug paraphernalia and a pack of what appeared to be an illicit substance were found in a bathroom drawer, a lack of salt/sand to spread on a very icy driveway and parking area, and a power outage that left us without heat or running water for 2 nights.

Thunder Ridge Lodge was the most spectacular place my family and I have ever stayed! The ping pong table allowed for hours of fun along with the many bunk beds for all the kids! The fact that we could bring our pup along too made such peace of mind. Thank you for opening your beautiful home with stunning views for the week. Best skiing trip yet!!
