Quaint Getaway Near Town W/ Hot Tub, Large Deck, Sauna & Free WiFi

Overall, the house was just okay. It is an older property, and there were several issues that affected our stay.First, the hot water had a very strong unpleasant smell when showering — similar to a rotten egg or sulfur smell. We believe this may be related to the water heater or plumbing system. In addition, there were quite a few insects inside the house, including spiders, ladybugs, and flies, which made the space feel less clean and comfortable.However, the most serious issue was that the listing description was misleading. The listing clearly states that there is a “private hot tub,” which reasonably implies exclusive use for our stay. We booked this property expecting a fully private experience.After arriving, we discovered that there is another apartment connected behind the main house that is rented to other guests. The backyard and parking area are shared, and most importantly, the hot tub is shared between both units. This was not disclosed anywhere in the listing. Sharing a hot tub with strangers is something we are completely uncomfortable with, and had this been clearly stated, we would not have booked this property.This lack of transparency was extremely disappointing and unacceptable. We strongly believe the listing should clearly state that the hot tub and outdoor areas are shared to avoid misleading future guests.

Our overall impression of the house is not great. All of the floors sag/squeak with every step. There was a dangerous long splinter in the floor which could have injured our son/friends' kids. The second floor was over 90 when we arrived, but when opening the windows and setting up the fans to try to cool the space, all the fans were very dirty and there were tons of dead flies in the windows on the sills. Lots of ladybugs and other insects inside as well the entire time we stayed there. Very dark, not cozy at all for our anniversary getaway and some of the bathrooms got no hot water to the showers. There also seemed to be a weird smell when using some of the bathrooms which i think is an issue with the septic system/venting pipes in the house. The sauna had shades that were covered in mildew, so we did not use this at all during our stay. The maintenance guy who came removed these and was ordering new ones, but we still did not feel comfortable to use the sauna after seeing how much mildew there was in there. Overall, we did not enjoy our stay and did not find it worth what we paid with all the fees for three nights.

Needed a reasonable place to stay while the kids played a tournament. Kitchen was great for cooking large meals. Not fancy but clean and reasonable. We had a good time!

Loved the hot tub, bunk room, and overall astethic. Great location too.

Home has a nice layout and was very comfortable. Well appointed kitchen. Hot tub was fun! Bring bottled water for drinking as the well water is a bit sulphury.

The furniture seems to be new. The house was very clean. The location is good.

I had a very bad experience. Fire alarm Rang when we sleep it was loud, and it went quiet and got louder again 3-5time a day. I feel like I don't get enough sleep . The pillows were quite old, and the water in the bathroom 1st floor flowed very lightly. The bathroom can't be locked. Tv can't choose something to watch much.It was a really terrible experience. I stay there for 3 nights. I contacted the host and the agent. Very difficult to contact and did not solve any problems.

The short version: This is NOT a vacation rental... This is a place for you and 13 people to sleep to be 15 min from Stowe and 2 min from the nearest shuttle stop. Number of small inconveniences throughout the stay but all in all a pretty place and somewhat well kept. The LONG version: Lot of weird stuff along the way that dimmed the experience. First thing you notice is a lot of light bulbs are out... Not sure why, but was annoying. Then, the kitchen sink is stuck on spray mode and will soak you and anyone in a five foot radius. Then, the bunk bed mattresses feel like cardboard. Then, the hot tub isn't on when you arrive so we could not use it that night. In fact, we couldn't get in touch with Vacassa so we reset the breaker ourselves. Then, the third day we get back from the mountain and there is somebody in our unit..? They were performing hot tub maintenance and had refilled the hottub and of course now we couldn't use it at it is 54 degrees. Grr. Guy said they were told there were new renters coming in tonight Oh well there is a sauna right? NO. The sauna is very broken, two different control panels and neither of them work. Don't be fooled, they won't have fixed it by the time you book it, multiple other reviews say the same. Then, the worst part. The property clearly has well water and there must be no filters or something because the tap water is disgusting. Undrinkable IRON TASTE and showers will smell like EGGS. It all worked out, but just sucked at times

Great space for a family or friends trip.

The house is really nice, in a classic VT farmhouse way. The kitchen is modern and well stocked with all the needed cooking equipment. Very nice. Plenty of room for up to 8 people to sit in the living room. Nice big TV and Vermont Wood stove. Bathrooms are older but work well. Plenty of hot water. Will be back!
