Couldn't ask for a better place to stay with a group. Plenty of space and amenities and easy access to the mt and the access road. The owner did an outstanding job with communications and directions for various things in the house.

Nice place for a friends vacation
The property had everything we needed for a friends vacation to Killington. We especially enjoyed the hot tub and upstairs common area. 5 minutes from Ramshead lodge or Skyeship Gondola. Only problem we had was the cleanliness of the house. We found vermin feces everywhere, including in the provided blankets. Would recommend just bringing your own blankets too, and it's a nice stay.

Homey and great hot tub/sauna!
The house was spacious and met all of our needs. The hot tub was lovely and so was the sauna, everything was clean and the house was only a ten minute drive from Killington skiing. The only thing is you need to bring your own sheets, toilet paper, and paper towels. There was also limited coffee and tea, but there was spices and cooking materials and utensils. The host was very accommodating and responded quickly to messages.

We are so sorry for the lapse in preparation. In the instructions sent to renters, we ask to be informed immediately if there are problems. We would have called our cleaners to come and take care of the situation, as they were scheduled to clean after the previous renters had left. We take pride in our Killington home, and always want our renters to have an enjoyable experience.

Great property, minor snags
My friends and I came up for a ski weekend. There were definitely more rooms than we initially thought so everyone got a bed (all 7) and the hot tub was amazing after a long day of skiing. Upon arrival, there were cleaning people there which was a tad disconcerting since we showed up at 6pm in the dark. Thano was great about picking up the phone to talk to us. Wish the cleaning people and the property manager had better communicated our arrival so we didn’t have to leave and come back when they were finished. Had some issues with the stove top after cleaners accidentally left the coils unplugged but Thano helped us figure it out and everything else was a breeze. While definitely some strange snags and having to bring our own linens, towels, tp, and soap, I think that this place was a great spot and at the end of the day, we’d love to come back.

We rented this beautiful house for our annual girls' weekend, and it was perfect. 4 bedrooms, plenty of entertainment space, good size kitchen, super nice hot tub, and we kept warm every night with the wood burning stove. Close to everything fun at Killington. Highly recommend.

Great location, spacious for groups
The house was a short 7-minute drive to Killington and was more than enough space for our group of 5. We found everything we needed: pots, pans, trash bags, blankets, etc. We did have to bring our own towels and sheets as the listing states, so you should plan accordingly. Most of the beds were comfy though the twin beds could use a little work. I drove a 4WD SUV and parked it in the parking pad (not the driveway) for extra caution after reading some reviews. I'm glad we did bc the weather conditions were bad on our check out day and the driveway was really icy so not sure if we would've made it out. The host does provide salt and shovels so you can prepare but we didn't want to risk it since we were there for a relaxing girls ski weekend. The hot tub after a day of skiing was a huge plus! Overall highly recommend.

Making great memories
Our family had such a great time at the house. We decided this year on a last minute Thanksgiving getaway for the 7 of us (5 kids), and were very pleased with how everything turned out. The house was perfect for us (seemed larger than the pics online, more space), and we really made good use of the hot tub, sauna, & wood burning stove. Unfortunately we were there in a bit of an "off" period - a little too early for snow/skiing, too late for warm weather activities...but we did get some snow the last night we were there, & the kids took full advantage outside. The location is perfect for skiing (Pico/Killington minutes away), so we will definitely consider a return trip if skiing is in our future.

Good place but needs updating and maintenance
The week started off unsettling when we arrived the walkway and driveway were not cleared properly only for us to find out in the morning. My SUV was stuck ( all wheel drive) and almost went into a tree from sliding. We called a tow truck and the tree in the driveway ripped my bumper off. Needless to say I was not happy. Being the first day, I wasn’t going to let it spoil the trip. The house was quaint but needs updating , bathrooms all need to be gutted. The downstairs smelled like mothballs as well. It’s VT , so weather can be harsh so we fully understand water in the house can be an issue. Overall , it was a nice trip and the memories the kids had in the hot tub were unforgettable. Thank you for that. Definitely find a new maintenance crew though. Not a good job

We are never happy if our renters have less than a good time in our Killington home. During the winter, plowers and shovellers have many properties to service, and waiting for our service to get to our place is just a Vermont fact of life. I honestly don't know how to respond to the comment about the bathrooms- the photos on the VRBO site should say it all. Actually, with so many photos, our renters see what they are getting, and while we are regularly tweaking it, it should be understood that people are renting someone's home, and not a homogenized hotel room or condo apartment.

We're glad Riley enjoyed our Killington home. As it says in the listing description, we offer our renters the option of having sheets and towels provided, or they can bring their own, and save some money. Most people opt to bring their own. We have been renting on Martha's Vineyard for some years now, and almost always have to bring our own linen.

The house is roomy and cozy, all in one. It may not be gorgeous, but it makes up for it with the excellent layout and lounging space. The back porches are decently sized with a nice hot tub. There is a lot of privacy as the sides and back of the house are surrounded with trees. We spent a lot of time in the house and it was perfect for our needs. Enjoy!

Had a blast
We had such a great experience staying at Thanos home. Everything was perfect; location to the mountain, bars, and restaurants. The one thing I did notice, inside the home was very clean but outside was dirty. On the lawn out front there was old strawberries and a bagel that had been sitting there for quite some time that was starting to mold. The back porch had some left over trash from the people before. Overall we had a great experience and we definitely stay again

Response from VrboOwner on Sep 2, 2023
We try to keep the outside of our house as clean as the inside I contacted Paulina to apologize for the trash. A few inconsiderate renters will toss things outside that are quickly covered by the snow in winter. I usually go up when the snow melts to police the property, but the virus situation forced me to stay home this year.

Thano’s home was a wonderful space for 10 visitors. It has a 1970’s charm that has been been in the family for over 40 years. Hot tub and sauna were nice extras. Would definitely book this home again for a future visit.

Great Vacation
The house was plenty big enough for 6 adults. It was very close to everything we wanted to do (mountain, food, breweries, shopping). The owner responded to every email I sent in a timely manner and was extremely helpful (and patient) as like to be prepared so I asked a lot of questions. We were actually so tired from being on the mountain all day and dinners at night, we never used the hot tub or sauna. We will just have to come back next winter.

Gets the job done for a group ski trip
Large house with plenty of room for 9 adults. The hot tub, sauna and artisan well water were to die for, however the furniture overall was uncomfortable and tired. Would have been nice to have a comfy couch and a few comfy chairs to crash onto after a day on the slopes. Also, having 1 key for the house was difficult with 9 people, would have been nice to have a key pad door lock. As previously said in other reviews and in the property description, 4x4 drive is definitely needed for parking in the driveway and we even had one car get stuck in the parking pad. Just fyi, we fit 2 pickup trucks in the driveway and 3 cars in the parking pad. It didn't snow at all during our 5 night stay so I can only imagine what the parking would’ve been like had it snowed. Cabinets were fully stocked with kitchen utensils and gadgets which was very helpful but left little room to store food. Overall we really did love this house and will definitely rent again!
