    Property was as pictured. Very nice size, clean and loved the special touches (coffee, popcorn, etc). Location was excellent as we came to ski and Afton Alps is literally across the street. Only reason for less than 5 stars on communication was that I didn’t receive a check in email which delayed our ability to check in. We were able to communicate with VRBO to get check in info and host followed up shortly after.

    The house was very warm and inviting providing everything we needed. We all agreed this rental was the BEST rental we’ve ever had. Plenty of room for us all allowing for plenty of privacy as well. It truly was home away from home for our group. Amy was very accommodating and available to answer all questions. The beds were super comfortable. First time in years I woke up without a backache. We all enjoyed it so much and felt refreshed. Hoping to come back next year and do it again. We will plan our trip around the availability of this rental. It was perfect for us.

    No skiing this trip as early spring thaw closed Afton Alps. Family agrees that the spacious well equipped home would be great for skiing another time. We liked the proximity to Stillwater, Hudson & Hastings. Check out Selma’s in Afton for the best Ice cream.

    Great location if you plan to ski. The living areas are bigger than they look in the photos. Lots of room to gather or play games. I give our host five stars. We visited at the end of the ski season and she sent us a message that the resort would be closed on the last day of our stay. We were thankful not to find that out at the last minute.

    We stayed at this property last year. It is an outstanding property and has a well appointed kitchen and other nice amenities.The host is very responsive to communications, and ensures the property is exactly as depicted in the listing. There is an attached garage that guests are allowed to use. The ski area is just across the road. The town of Hudson is a shshodt drive and has some good restaurants and bars. We had such a good week last year we booked again this year and it was every bit as good. Planning for next year already.

    We have stayed at this property several years in a row and it never ceases to amaze us how perfect it is. The house has a great layout for larger families and the decor is just SO cozy! I swear I sleep better here than any where else and to arrive and be treated with everything you need for a spaghetti dinner…it’s awesome. All of that and my family can just walk across the street to ski. We will be back next year! Thanks for everything.

    We were pleased to find that the house was as spacious as described, with plenty of room indoor and out for family visits. The back deck makes a lovely place to gather, and there were plenty of comfortable beds for 6 of us. Our 2 dogs were very happy to be out of the car and to have lots of room to explore. Afton State park is right there, as is the Afton Alps ski area.
