Nov 4, 2024 #### Bottom Floor The house was in a great and private location. The owner was very friendly! Great location. ##### Nicholas F. ### 4/10 Poor #### Jessi Feb 3, 2025 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Communication #### Not ideal TV didnt work the entire duration of our stay, contacted Vacasa several times but nothing was actually done. The walkway to the entrance was just a downhill ice trial. Bed was incredibly uncomfortable, my boyfriend ended up sleeping on the equally uncomfortable futon. Place was clean enough, good location. Quick drive to Mary Jane, about 7-8 mins to main base area. Other than that, not great. Definitely would not stay again or recommend to friends or family. Also will steer clear of Vacasa managed properties if I can manage. ##### Jessi Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### paul d. Feb 19, 2024 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, communication #### Needs work Location was great overall property needs some work. The water was very minimally smelling almost to the point where you didn't want to take the shower. The shower drain filled up and didn't drain properly so you were standing in dirty water the whole time showering. The kitchen sink drain p-trap was not properly secured and started leaking how to put a bucket under it so not to flood the place out while washing dishes by hand. ##### paul d.

The quiet and close to town ##### Roberta H. ### 2/10 Terrible #### Kylie P. Apr 9, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Vacasa Properties are a HEALTH HAZARD Vacasa properties in this area are INCREDIBLY DIRTY. I am allergic to mold and dust and had to be treated due to how GROSS their properties are, mind you I am an otherwise healthy 20-something year old. They also leave moldy food in their appliances so hope you don’t want toast. There were rats, likely attracted by the food bits left in EVERY SINGLE PAN/POTDO JOT STAY HERE. Even if they say cleaners will come “again” (they clearly never came once) they are LIARS ##### Kylie P.

Aug 1, 2022 #### Small but tidy The unit was just as advertised- very neat, clean, and peaceful. ##### Douglas L. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Northern Lights Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Stowe-Hotels-Northern-Lights-Lodge.h797107.Hotel-Information) > > [Killington Grand Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Killington-Hotels-Killington-Grand-Hotel.h693673.Hotel-Information) > > [Field Guide Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Stowe-Hotels-Field-Guide-Lodge.h12479818.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn Colchester](https://www.expedia.ca/Burlington-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Colchester.h24897.Hotel-Information) > > [Burke Mountain Hotel & Conference Center](https://www.expedia.ca/East-Burke-Hotels-Burke-Mountain-Hotel-Conference-Center.h15822448.Hotel-Information) > > [Comfort Inn & Suites South Burlington near University](https://www.expedia.ca/Burlington-Hotels-Comfort-Inn-Suites.h890627.Hotel-Information) > > [The Essex Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Burlington-Hotels-The-Essex.h18494.Hotel-Information) > > [Killington Mountain Lodge, Tapestry Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Killington-Hotels-Killington-Mountain-Lodge.h103640.Hotel-Information) > > [WilloBurke Boutique Inn & Nordic Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/East-Burke-Hotels-WilloBurke-Boutique-Inn-Nordic-Spa.h12604442.Hotel-Information) > > [Windsor Mansion Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Windsor-Hotels-Windsor-Mansion-Inn.h6025234.Hotel-Information) > > [Topnotch Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Stowe-Hotels-Topnotch-Resort.h10591.Hotel-Information) > > [Innsbruck Inn at Stowe](https://www.expedia.ca/Stowe-Hotels-Innsbruck-Inn-At-Stowe.h797544.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Windjammer Inn & Conference Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Burlington-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Windjammer-Inn-Conference-Center.h7416621.Hotel-Information) > > [Homewood Suites by Hilton Burlington](https://www.expedia.ca/Burlington-Hotels-Homewood-Suites-By-Hilton-Burlington.h9474933.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Champlain Burlington, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Burlington-Hotels-Hilton-Burlington-Lake-Champlain.h19785.Hotel-Information) > > [Stoweflake Mountain Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Stowe-Hotels-Stoweflake-Mountain-Resort-Spa.h59157.Hotel-Information) > > [Woodstock Inn & Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Woodstock-Hotels-Woodstock-Inn-Resort.h25690.Hotel-Information) > > [The Stowe Village Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Stowe-Hotels-The-Stowe-Inn.h1092142.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Club Vacations Mount Ascutney Resort by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Brownsville-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Club-Vacations-Mount-Ascutney-Resort.h425171.Hotel-Information) > > [Tälta Lodge, A Bluebird by Lark](https://www.expedia.ca/Stowe-Hotels-Talta-Lodge.h69640561.Hotel-Information) > > [Quality Inn Shelburne - Burlington](https://www.expedia.ca/Burlington-Hotels-Quality-Inn-Shelburne-Burlington.h282.Hotel-Information) > > [Bluebird Cady Hill Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Stowe-Hotels-Golden-Eagle-Resort.h576658.Hotel-Information) > > [von Trapp Family Lodge & Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Stowe-Hotels-Trapp-Family-Lodge.h84462.Hotel-Information) > > [The Equinox Golf Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Bennington-Hotels-The-Equinox-Golf-Resort-Spa.h2759006.Hotel-Information) > > [The Lodge at Spruce Peak, a Destination by Hyatt Residence](https://www.expedia.ca/Stowe-Hotels-The-Lodge-At-Spruce-Peak.h1844843.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Burlington](https://www.expedia.ca/Burlington-Hotels-Delta-Hotels-By-Marriott-Burlington.h20199164.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express South Burlington Downtown by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/South-Burlington-Hotels-The-Inn-At-Burlington.h24600.Hotel-Information) > > [Green Mountain Suites Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Burlington-Hotels-Green-Mountain-Suites-Hotel.h117235.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express South Burlington by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Burlington-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-South-Burlington.h4567.Hotel-Information)
