Labor day weekend stay
My friends and I enjoyed our time here! We had 13 people in our group. We spent a good chunk of our time in the main living room area upstairs playing ping pong and watching TV! Note: the outdoor space/trash/recycling is shared with another property. Most of the bedrooms are downstairs and while we weren't sure if we'd have enough space at first, the owners have really cleverly optimized the space in the property. The location is great too! Overall a good time :)

Great Property for Family Ski Trip
What a great find. The property is tucked away a few minutes from town and about 20 minutes from Mt. Snow. There was snow cover, so we did not use much outside but it would be a nice spot for kids to run around and parents to hang out. The house is a duplex with bathrooms on both floors three bunk beds and a nice living/kitchen area. The property was well cleaned and there were enough dishes and drinkware for 8 people. The pool/ping pong table was a huge hit with the kids (and parents). The owners were great at communicating before the stay and after when we had to leave early to get ahead of a major storm. We would definitely recommend and, if we are planning to be in the area, would definitely rent again.

Great
Stayed with my family of 5 and two other families. The place was clean, well equipped in the kitchen, perfect for people that want to cook & eat in. Very cozy. The kids loved the place, they kept busy with the pool table, dart board, ping pong table, and pac man video game between ski trips. Bedroom capacity was fantastic, proximity to supermarket very convenient, and proximity to Mt. Snow manageable (20min). Would love to stay there again. Only negative is loud heat during quiet hours, clicking & dripping sounds. Bring extra towels if in a large group. Property owner responsive and provided thoughtful additions for a pleasant stay ❤️
