While it was a bit dated, it was clean. Since we knew about the water issue we just brought water for drinking/ coffee etc. We did find 6 ladybugs, not the infestation mentioned in a previous review. Towels and bed linens were clean. Checkin and check out was easy. We had a couple of questions which we sent by text. Response was quick.

Older but plenty of space. Downstairs bathroom is a bit small but has all the necessary items needed. Upstairs bathroom is larger and has the best water pressure of any place I’ve stayed! Location is close to Waitsfield which has some nice restaurants .

**Problem affects the entire complex** Upon our late check in (after 10pm), we discovered the Public Health Notification for the condominiums. They have exceeded the acceptable level of combined radium, and you should not consume the water (boiling the water only intesifies the radium levels). Work is scheduled to begin in Oct 2023 and expected to be complete by Spring 2023. **This information is NOT being shared in the listings.** They simply state that you should not drink the water, but that you can bathe and wash food with it. Unpotable water is different than radium contaminated water! (No potable water was provided by the property.) We were not given the chance to review this information until AFTER we arrived at the rental. We did not wish to expose ourselves or the children to this hazardous situation (one guest is diabetic and one juvenile has a heart condition). The home is also VERY dated. Curtains and bed linens are quite old. One set of bed linens was stained. The tops of the built-in book shelves were quite dirty and had visible mouse droppings (seen from looking out of the upstairs loft, not hidden from view).

The location and setup of the property is perfect for skiing both Mad River and Sugarbush resorts, also great for snowshoeing, crossing country and back country skiing on the Catamount Trail. Our group of 4 adults and one teen was accommodated very comfortably. The property is dated and could use a little TLC, however clean and comfortable is more of a concern. That said, there is a definite issue with lady bug infestation and the sliding doors are broken and there was leaking due to snowmelt. The property could use a deep cleaning (i.e. windows, etc.)

The condo was accurately described in the listing. Unfortunately the living room and kitchen were infested with lady bugs making our stay very uncomfortable. When I reached out to Vacassa, who was the rental agent, they claimed that they were unaware of the problem. I find that hard to believe since the condo was to be cleaned before we arrived. Thankfully we never found ladybugs in the bedrooms. I am not very happy with this experience.

Unfortunately, we were disappointed with this condo. Our disappointment is mainly a result of the lack of cleanliness of this property. There were numerous cobwebs and serious dust, throughout the condo, most of it at the baseboard level. It appears little to no attention is paid to the areas under the beds with any frequency. In addition to the cobwebs and dust, there was a dirty sock under the bed in the open loft area as well as dead bugs under a couple of beds and a couple of bugs caught in cobwebs at the bottom of the counter in the kitchen and living room. To the credit of the VACASA representative(s) that I texted (big lag times in texting due to poor cell service in the area) with, they did ask if we wanted a cleaning team to come in. As we were already in the condo, we opted not to have a cleaning team in. Cannot in good conscience recommend this property.

Our group had a lovely long weekend at this rental. The condo is in a great location in the mad river valley just down the street from great ski mountains. The rental is a bit dated but has all that’s needed for a no frills Vermont stay! We enjoyed the wood burning fireplace (wood provided), the loft was great for additional sleeping space, and the house had plenty of puzzles and games for our use. Overall one of the best value rentals in the area.

We really enjoyed the house and especially the fireplace atht eh end of a day of hiking.
