Not overly clean, and kitchen needs help
This is a great house to stay in, but we did feel the house wasn’t overly clean. They also don’t have a simple vacuum or counter spray available so you can tidy up. The kitchen was large and great but there were barely any supplies. The pans are all scratched teflon, and it was a struggle to find proper cooking tools. The rooms were great, house stayed warm and it was a very easy commute to mount snow (only about 16 minutes). It is dog friendly and you.can tell- some dog hair left behind.The basement has a foosball table which was fun, but the doll house was very dirty and covered in dust. The basement needs to be finished to help make this house great (just concrete floors).

Spacious House, hot tub out of service
Very nice, big house.
Major problem, the hot tub was out of service.
We specifically wanted a house with a hot tub to relax in after skiing. This cut the search options from over 80 houses to just a few. Houses without hot tubs were less expensive and in some cases closer to the mountain, but we paid a premium to have a hot tub. Extremely disappointed to find it out of service and not made aware beforehand. After the trip i contacted the management company Vacasa via phone. The customer service representative abruptly said they noted the complaint and someone would contact me within 24hrs. I never got a follow up. Terrible customer service from Vacasa.

Good Ski House close to Mount Snow
A few things about this property caught me off guard. Its operated by Vacasa, which for the most part was fine. But there was no one locally to help you if something is wrong or ask questions to that actually knows anything about the property.
For example after booking this property I found out there is only space for 2 -3 cars to park. And if snowing they dont recommend using the driveway because of falling snow. This house is suppose sleep 12 and can only hold 2 cars? I wrote messages to Vacasa and received no response so I called them and the answer was to park vehicles "downtown" and shuttle people back and fourth to the property. Needless to say we figured it out on our own, with no help from Vacasa.
The house, the beds, and bathrooms were all clean. The hot tub was unusable, there is a distinct smell coming off of it and it we tested the water with a test kit we found showing little to no chlorine. The house and the hot tub we both under 50 degrees when we arrived. The house took about 4 hours to get back up to 65 degrees.
This is a decent ski house in a good location. The house needs some TLC, new appliances, and better parking.

Nice spot for a quiet get away
Everything was very nice with this property! Looked nice and felt comfortable with enough seating for all 9 of us at the dinning room table. It's in a quaint little town with a local shop with breakfast that was a minute away, and a 3 min walk to the river. Hit up a few lakes and other fun activities and most things were a 15-30 minute drive. The only negative was we noticed few mice but I think that's par for the course in VT.

Interesting contrasts.
Very interesting indoor space. Inadequate fans for conditions. Very clean. Because of electric outage we made the decision to leave early, as it was getting dark. No lights, no water meant a hurried, incomplete exit

Everything we needed.
The house gave us everything we needed for a great family and friends get away. We all enjoyed a day skiing and snowboarding at Mt. Snow, just down the road, and we would have gone another day if the weather was not rainy. Instead, we explored Brattleboro for some shopping, antiques, and brewery'ing. Also explored the Brattleboro Retreat area and stocked up on some cheese products. When driving back to the house, the Beer Naked Brewery is a great pit stop, with a great view. We enjoyed the Hot Tub and the Woodstove. If we had more time we definitely would have 'DJ'ed some of those record albums. What a great collection.

Nightmare trip
House was ok when we first got there. Was a little strange that you look out the window and there is a gas station next door, not exactly what you hope for when you rent a VT ski house. The part that really ruined our experience though was the indoor hot tub. On day 2 of the trip, 3 of the adults went in the hot tub. Within a couple of hours, all 3 developed a very bad stomach virus which rapidly spread throughout everyone else in the house including the babies and young children. Everyone had to pack up their sick families up and leave the house several days early. When I called and emailed vacasa multiple times to explain our nightmare stay and how our trip was derailed by this, they did absolutely nothing to try and make right by us. Horrible customer service as I called 3 times and never even received a call back with follow up. I've been going to VT for ski trips for 20 years this stay was by far the worst stay ever. I hope they fix or close that hot tub so no-one else has to experience the misery that we did.

Relaxing environment
This property was really off the beaten path. House in general was very nice. Beds were comfortable, plenty of blankets for warmth. Internet access was so-so...directions for electronics were very helpful, however we still were unable to comprehend the use of a few things. Loved the jacuzzi!!! Would have been nice if there was carpeting to walk on when stepping out instead of a cement floor. Loved the kitchen and living room!!! Enjoyed looking out and seeing the river across the street. My biggest concern or complaint was the dirty shower curtain on the main floor...hopefully it gets changed out soon.

home in the woods
We didn't spend a lot of time at the house. Tried to see the area. Visited all the states within a short distance each day. Very homey feeling each evening when we returned to the house. I would recommend this home if you want solitude! The restaurant next door is awesome. Great food! I would suggest putting ceiling fans in each room. It was quite warm until four or so in the morning. The towel rack in the down stairs bathroom was coming loose from the wall (needs toggle bolts). We had an awesome time in this home! Thank you for sharing with us! God bless you and your family!

Great Weekend Away!
Fantastic for large groups, this property is tucked a way but very spacious. Parking was a little tight, but worked out just fine. Hot tub and game room were a crowd favorite! The kitchen and living room were great and made it feel very homey! The bedrooms were all great size, but definitely on the warmer side. The bedroom downstairs’ door was very squeaky. In walking distance to a cute little cafe and country store (highly recommend going to both) as well as the River! We didn’t bring any dogs but it is certainly dog friendly!!! We would 100% recommend staying here!
