We had an incredible stay at the Pool House! The views were beautiful, the house was comfortable, and the pool was AMAZING! The pool room and pool itself were pristine and warm (despite negative temps outside!). Also appreciated the extra safety features to access the pool since we had small children staying with us. Charles was friendly and responsive, and we would highly recommend this property!

My spouse and I had a delightful week at the pool house. The location is beautiful and private but only 20 minutes from all the amenities of Manchester. We swam every day in the pool and just totally relaxed. We look forward to returning soon.

Wonderful!

We really enjoyed our stay at the pool house. The indoor pool room is amazing, and we had the unique experience of swimming all afternoon while watching the snow fall outside! The house is beautiful, with large yet cozy rooms and had everything that we needed. We cooked several meals in the kitchen, and there were even plastic wine glasses to take to the pool 😊 The Wi-Fi was way to connect to and strong enough for all the devices. The dining room was a favorite space, with an entire wall of glass up to a vaulted ceiling. We played board games and watched the wildlife when we weren’t swimming in the pool or watching movies in the family room. There is a nice woods and mountain view out back. Manchester was a short drive for shopping and restaurants. We contacted the host a few times with questions and he was quick to respond with helpful answers. We would absolutely stay here again.

Overall very good experience with a hiccup

Overall our stay was very enjoyable, but the house needs some maintenance and more attention to detail in the summer months. On arrival we found the property was not properly prepared for guests and the two bedroom on the second floor were blazing hot and unusable so we consolidated on the first floor. As we opened windows to cool the house (we stayed for July 4th weekend) opening windows revealed that the house had been unoccupied for quite some time, and we were forced to strip the beds and wash the linen at 10pm. We let the property owner know and they promised to address our concerns for future guests. Given the price per night, we didn’t think the cleanliness of the beds was a good value for the money.The rest of the house was well equipped, pantry was stocked with useful items and plenty of dishware/cookware. The living room was welcoming and the kids enjoyed the movies that were available.The Indoor pool is huge and even though it has some age on it, the heater worked extremely well. They provide plenty of clean towels and floaters for all ages! I do think the pool needs to be cleaned more frequently though. You come to Vermont in the summer for the outdoors, and this property does not disappoint in that regard. The property is expansive and well maintained with plenty of space. Not far from the property are great hiking trails and a river you can swim in although the master was ice cold! Views are stunning. I bet winter and fall are stunning here!

Great winter family getaway

This is by far the best vacation we have been on since Covid started. My husband and 2 kids and I never even left the house. It was cold, snowy and all we wanted to do was swim. We brought all the food we needed to make our dinners. Brought board games and had the best time. Super clean and cozy. We brought our own towels but they had plenty of beach towels for days. Nice touches we greatly appreciated. We loved to maple syrup and pancake mix. We look forward to coming back for another fun visit.

Indoor Pool & Close to Skiing

Communication and check in with Charles was flawless. The house is extremely well equipped. They have thought of everything. Our only issue was the inability to control the pool area temp. It was pretty cold to sit out there watching the grandkids play in the pool, which was the reason for renting this house. It improved late in the afternoon but try holding kids off until 3pm! So, renting on a typical January day in Vermont and considering the price for a house with a pool, it seems silly not to be able to let the renters control the pool area temperature just like any other room in the house. Even my husband wore his jacket to sit out there.

Perfect Winter Weekend Getaway

First of all, Charles truly makes himself available when it comes to communicating with him. He is very prompt to respond right away. The house was perfect for 10 adults (and we did not utilize the basement). Once we got there we did not leave until it was Check-Out time! It was the perfect winter weekend getaway. The views are absolutely amazing! I only gave 4 stars for the location simply because the nearest grocery store was roughly 20 minutes away; however, we showed up full prepared! I would highly suggest this house and even rent it again!

A great place to hang out with friends!

The Mettawee house was the perfect setting for our weekend get away Bachelorette party. Clean, comfortable, and spacious, we used the common rooms during the day for lounging and games and still all had a private space to retreat to at night. It was cold outside but the pool was a comfortable temperature and there are great views from every window. Would definitely use again!!
