Great family spot for a Vermont experience.

We booked this property for a ski weekend with friends and family. It exceeded our expectations in regards to communal spaces for games & quality time. There were very roomy living areas and comfortable furniture to lounge in after a day on the slopes. The host and property managers were all very responsive when we had questions, and the property managers stayed on top of plowing the driveway even though we didn’t have much snow over the weekend. The only thing that could have been improved upon were amenities - there were no paper towels, limited cookware, and limited cleaning supplies. In addition, some of the bathrooms didn’t have shower supplies (which is fine if you plan on bringing your own). Overall, we enjoyed our weekend, and appreciated the host’s time and attentiveness to our stay!

Very spacious, beautiful property! Close proximity to downtown Woodstock and only a 30 min ride to Killington. Ayesha was very communicative with any questions we had. Highly recommend!

The property itself was decently nice. Very large space and quiet.
There were a bunch of minor issues, that my group and I mostly just let go since this was supposed to be a budget property. However - lesson learned. If you don't go out of your way to resolve or get these issues resolved, the host will find you responsible.
- When we checked in, we found that there were chairs were broken and the property managers were super slow to respond (responded 14 hours later)
- Property managers said they'll come by to fix chairs but never showed up
- As a result, we stopped communicating other problems since they seemed ignored - which we were later blamed for, for not escalating and following up enough
- House was not properly cleaned before we arrived. We spent extra time ourselves cleaning - and was then blamed for leaving the house excessively dirty
- Many flies and bugs flying around the first 2 nights : I'm guessing from the improper cleaning
- Was warned by host that cleaners would arrive right at check out time. We left some trash outside the bin since it wouldn't fit about 10 minutes before checkout time, and left the property, and then was blamed for leaving it outside, saying animals got to it and made a mess all over the property.
- Many outlets without covers and exposed wires (better be careful if you have kids)
- Insufficient cleaning supplies (like dishsoap)
- Driveway not properly de-iced
Most of these issues were not huge issues in themselves, but our experience soured when the host blamed our group for the condition of the property, even though we left it better than when we arrived. Suggestion to the host : maybe you should look into seeking responsibility with the property managers or cleaners instead of our group.

First all the good stuff. House is huge and comfortable. Our group of 8 had a great time. The ponds and surrounding foliage were picture perfect. You don't even have to drive anywhere to see the foliage.
There is some room for improvement. Some rooms are sparsely appointed, no chests, end tables or desk.
Owner initially canceled the reservation but then worked with me to allow us to stay but one less day so we had to find accomodations for 1 night which was very expensive during peak fall foliage. It was still worth staying at this house.
There were also some odd issues. We got locked out as someone in the party had locked the latch from inside so keypad was rendered useless. The manager drove in at 11pm and unlocked the door. While he was there, he found out why hot water was not hot - someone had switched off the water heater. There is a Red switch in the mud room. Why would you have a switch there? Owner should put some signs to avoid these issues.

We had a great time staying here! The house suited our needs, with plenty of room for our young kids to run around the house getting their energy out! There were quality furniture, warm blankets, and all the necessities provided. The Vast property is beautiful with tons of snow for the kids to roll around in! It is a 30-40 minute drive to the slopes. Snow mobiling was a nearby activity that was fun for us!
The owner and property manager are very responsive.
