Dec 31, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Charming Vermont stay! We had a very nice stay here in Chester, with relatively easy access to Okemo and other nearby resorts. The historic nature of the house is lovely and well maintained. Kitchen is well appointed and easy to use, and internet / tv works great. Do be aware that the stairs to the second floor (where all beds are) are narrow and steep and the second floor ceilings are quite low for taller guests. ##### Preston W. Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christopher D. Oct 7, 2024 #### Huge fees for Vacasa Serene environment and lovely home close to town. We invited a third guest because the house sleeps “10.” The tree of us wanted separate rooms so he slept on a pullout on the first floor for privacy. Sheets and pillows for the pullout were nowhere to be found. Our friend left. Vacasa will text and email you non-stop providing no value compared to other properties we stay at. Long story, 2 bedrooms with additional place to sleep others if sheets and pillows were available. Massive fees from Vacasa with borderline harassment communication, communication, and texts. ##### Christopher D.
