The check in process requires you to stop at a separate location 10 minutes from the property to pick up the keys. The host provided a gift bag with the keys which is a very nice gesture. The house sits on a very large piece of land, and it provides beautiful quiet scenery with comforting views all around. The interior offers plenty of space and was clean. We loved the large kitchen and dining area, cozy fireplace, and the hot tub is perfect after a long day of skiing at nearby Stowe resort. Also, the linens and pillows were very comfortable. We did unfortunately have issues communicating with the host. The previous guests left their trash and recycling in the garage and the host said a maintenance man would come to collect it, but he never showed. We also asked about the Wi-Fi because it kept cutting out, and the host pushed off the question and told me to contact the maintenance man. The final issue was that the host does communicate that the visitors are responsible for taking all of their trash/recycling to a location in town at the end of your stay, but failed to mention that there is a cost to do so. We were charged a cleaning fee, but then also must transport and pay to remove the trash/recycling. Overall, we had a great stay and a great time at Stowe.
