Needs a lot of TLC… Kitchen needs to be updated and better equipped. Some pots were dirty and floors were not very clean. One bed was broke in loft. Sheetrock exposed in closet and loss hinges in doors. Communication with property manager was poor. Location and view are very nice. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Jan 29, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Great location / OK place Great location between mountain and town. House is aged, loft beds old and sloped, we had a shower leak to room below that was not fixed during stay. Wifi never worked despite attempts to get correct information and help from manager. Can do much better for money in similar location. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael M., Boston, MA, USA Feb 9, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great stay! My family stayed here for the weekend. The place had plenty of beds. The kitchen was well stocked. The spiral staircase downstairs would not be elderly friendly but there are 2 bedrooms on the first floor so that's not a problem. There's also a living area on the lower floor too. The loft was spacious. We had a couple young children...mixed up some puzzle boxes and we felt terrible but the host was super understanding. We didn't get to use the deck and grill outside but would be great for the warmer seasons. Overall, great stay and would love to be back if they would have it's again! ##### Michael M. Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Diane T. Dec 31, 2022 Liked: Communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, listing accuracy #### Don't book here - not suitible to stay Don't book here. This house is in need of much repair and basic manintenance! The home had no working heat and pipes were frozen upon arrival. There were dirty towels in bathroom and dirty sheets in bedrooms. The home was not cleaned. The oven intermittently worked and the bathroom leaked to the floor below. I'm not sure why this is even a listing on VRBO?! Will not be booking on VRBO again any time soon. We payed a good amount of money to rent here and have an enjoyable trip. Now I'm spending my time trying to get the money refunded, we will see... ##### Diane T. Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Deepthi M. Jan 17, 2023 Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Comfortable stay with some inadequacies Pros : -The proximity to Bromley ski resort was amazing and we could shuttle between the house and the ski resort at our will. -The kitchen was spacious if you plan to cook and eat. -Beds were cozy, clean and comfortable. -Entryway was well organized and roomy to leave all the ski boots, coats etc. Cons: -Unfortunately, we were limited to only 1 bathroom for the entire trip for 11 people as there was a leak in the basement we used the shower on the 1st floor Bathroom. -The bedroom situation was a little bit tricky for 3 families as adults could sleep comfortably only in 2 bedrooms. The third bedroom has bunk beds where kids slept and the attic/loft has many beds but it’s not very practical for an adult to fit in that space with head’s hitting the ceiling near the headboard all the time. -The location surprisingly fell outside the boundary for most food places and none of them would deliver. -The TV was located at an extremely high level making it quite uncomfortable for the family to watch anything. -The sofa was quite old and dirty and we found a an old sock and some old food under the sofa as well. -I would have also liked the facility to provide firewood and snow melt for the walkway into the house. - There was no direct one person communication to a number and I wasn’t sure who was responding on the other end, it seemed like everyone I call/text some new person was responding. Overall, although we had a great time, we expected better for the price paid. ##### Deepthi M. Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Katie K.

Nov 26, 2022 #### Vermont House was clean, somewhat easy to get to (but I have an all wheel drive SUV w winter tires). Location is really close to manchester which is nice for shopping and restaurants. Actual location of the home may not be great if someone had a smaller vehicle and snow on the ground. House was Well stocked. Stove could be better (we baked an oven pizza and it was hard to figure out if the oven was turning on or not) Kids slept in the upstairs beds and slept well. Didn’t realize how many people this house could fit!! It’s large!! ##### Maetinee L. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2022
