Our large group of friends enjoyed our stay at this perfect sized house & the location couldn’t be beat. You have privacy & the house layout was incredible so no one was on top of each other. We had babies who were able to sleep while adults had plenty of space to hang out & have fun. The patio, fire pit & hot tub were huge hits as were the living spaces (2 huge living rooms & a kitchen table that easily fit 16.)
As for improvements - the place wasn’t the cleanest, including the kitchen. The dishwasher was full of water on the bottom so it was unusable as we didn’t want to run it & cause a flood. There’s mold from a water issue in the basement (on the ceiling). There wasn’t hand soap at most of the sinks & no toiletries provided such as your basic all-in-one shampoo, conditioner, body wash. We were missing a can opener and some other basic kitchen necessities. The ice machine & water in the fridge didn’t work. Also, there is a camera on property (only one, outside by the front door), which is not listed. The welcome info & actual listing has discrepancies such as check in & check out time, linen information, and door code. It is clear the info hasn’t been updated in some time, & I got answers when I asked the host, but this is something easy they should do for a rental.
Communication with the host was poor. We were not provided any check in information until after we arrived and even then, I had to find a number online to call the host in order to get the door code. Typical communication took 2-3 days on average from the host prior to our stay. It was fine, but just nerve wracking & luckily the check in issue all worked out.
A water sensor alarm went off around 11:30pm our first night & we had no info on how to turn it off - or if it was something to worry about in general. I was able to call the host, but would have preferred to avoid bothering them, especially that late at night.
Overall, our group agreed we would stay here again, but wish some things were cleaner, info updated & that we had known about some of it prior to arrival such as missing hand soap, etc so we would have been better prepared. Lovely home, especially for a large group & such a wonderful area of Vermont.
