How was great for our weekend stay. It comfortably fits 15 people easily and you don’t feel like you are on top of each other. Plenty of spaces in the house for different moods and the kitchen was great. Not to mention the proximity to the mountain. The host was great with communication too. 10/10 would book again!

The house was great for our family vacation that included 11 adults and 2 children. Beautiful secluded location with views of Mount Snow. Nearby town center had most of what we needed (eg, groceries, restaurants).

It was a large well designed house with very responsive and helpful owner.
We asked for early check in and late check out ( although we checked out almost on time) he coordinated with cleaning team and that helped us.
Very close to mount snow lounge ( we walked there in 20 min).
Great location, Great house, Great owner!

This is a beautiful home it is bigger than it shows. We had a family reunion with 10 adults. This home had more than enough space to accommodate all. Nice big back deck area, game room downstairs it had something for everyone. We did have a few issues with a lack of some supplies it wasn't anything major. Sue the owner was great, very responsive to emails. This one is definitely on my list to come back again.

A great ski- house for 3/4 families on the Mt. Snow resort. A very short drive to mount snow drop zone and parking. It would be a healthy walk to lift in regular boots it you wanted to walk - it’s possible. Host was responsive. House was very clean and beds were all comfy. Foozball, ping pong and tower of board games kept the teens entertained for a few hours away from their phones. Only areas for improvement: The heat was very low upon our very late arrival. If we checked in early it would have been fine. If it’s cold and you are checking in late consider asking the host to turn main zones up before your arrival. Also, for the room rate we payed, it would have been nice to have been provided mini shampoos and soaps for showers and facial tissues.

This house is perfect for a large group! The pictures don’t do it justice- it’s huge and has so much character! It’s a 2 minute drive from Mount Snow and a XC skiing/snowshoeing place. Would definitely stay here again for a VT trip!

The accommodations were excellent. Enough space for our group of 12. 2 min drive to the mountain is beneficial too! Plenty of parking if your group is heading up from various starting points.

I will preface the review by saying that the owner did give us a 1 night out 7 refund due to the state of the home and our need to leave early because of our concerns regarding the house. The location was tremendous and the size of the house wonderful for a large family, thus the 2 stars. However, the degree of neglect could not be ignored. The mattress covers on all the beds were in a dismal state. Worn and some dirty. Torn and dirty bed skirts. There was a dead mouse in a trap under the dresser in the main bedroom which had been there for some time, given the amount of dust on top of it. Thank goodness one of the children didn't find it and pick it up! The dishwasher was disgusting and there were no dish towels in the kitchen. When we went to make coffee on the first morning there were old moldy coffee grounds left in the coffee maker. The towels all smelled of mildew after 1 use and there were barely enough to go around. The air quality in the lower level is what forced us to leave early. There was a permeating smell of mold and mildew, and the children all were suffering from coughs and runny noses. And there was a tremendous amount of dust and dirt under all of the beds especially in the bunkroom. When I communicated this to the owner after our departure her suggestion was that I should have opened some windows and run a fan to clear out the air. It was December in Vermont!
I did not notify the owner, or their maintance/property manager while we were there as these issues seemed more ongoing and not just a one and done. After our departure I did contact the owner who did say she was sorry that we did not enjoy our stay, but that we should have contacted this individual so they could have seen to these issues. I don't agree. These are things that should be addressed prior to anyone coming into a home. Our family has stayed at numerous homes over the years, and this has been the first case of extreme neglect. Maybe I could have given the rating 3 stars if the beds had been comfortable, but sadly they were not.

This large house with beautiful views of Mt Snow offers both comfort and charm. The elegant living room has a wonderful gas fireplace. Comfortable beds with nice linens. There are lots of stairs which can be tricky for a toddler but I highly recommend this house. The host was most helpful.

The location of this place is fantastic. Especially if you like to ski or mountain bike, given that Mt Snow is basically down the road. The house worked well for our group. The large living room was probably the most well loved area for us. It would be better for a group with kids because they would have plenty of separate space to go play. As some others have said the only downsides might be some general upgrades that should probably happen at some point. We only had 1 dish towel which was a bit annoying but not the end of the world. The center island in the kitchen was definitely built for Andre The Giant. We ended up using it as storage space because most of us are short and couldn’t really use it any other way…lol. It was a lovely stay and I could see this place being fantastic in the winter for skiing.

We had a wonderful stay at this spacious getaway near Mt Snow. Plenty of room for our multiage group to spread out and relax…. We enjoyed the quiet deck and views of the mountains. Kids loved exploring all the different spaces including downstairs game room. Kitchen was well stocked and we were easily able to set up and feel at home. We enjoyed the eclectic decor and waking up to views of the mountains. Close to all the amenities and activities at Mt Snow. Thanks for a great stay!

This was an amazing rental. The house was even more spacious than the pictures showed, great for a large group. The two master bedrooms were gorgeous. The living room was large and comfortable and the game room with a ping pong table provided lots of fun. The location and views were stunning, and the host was responsive and helpful. I'd highly recommend!

The setting was awesome and the views were amazing, but the house needs some general maintenance and better service. Door handles were a problem. Dryer was broken and no alternative was provided. Some TV's didn't work, broken tile, peeling wallpaper, etc.

Although we usually visit VT during winter, we would definitely return in summer and would highly recommend this property. Thank you, Sue!

The setting and architecture of this mountain home is truly amazing. Much of the feel of the place reminded me of something you find out west in Wyoming and Colorado.
We enjoyed a great dinner, our first night, in their beautiful dinning room and the 2nd night dinner was outside on the veru spacious deck. Our crew will be talking about this must see home for years into the future. We were pleasantly suprised how well stocked the kitchen was. We'll be looking forward to renting this lovely home again. Thank you!
