We had a wonderful time at the property. Great host. House had many things that warmed our hearts. Small but impactful. We loved the game room especially since we had 4 teen boys. There were adequate towels, crockery, lovely done coffee stand, games and so much more. We really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend. Very pet friendly home too.

We are so glad you all got to take advantage of the game room and the coffee station. Those are two of our favorite parts of the house, too! We love cozying up on the large leather sectional for an epic movie after a spirited ping pong match on cool fall and winter evenings (and sometimes on rainy summer days, too). Thanks for you kind words, Guvinder. We hope you come back soon.

ReLAXing Stay

Our stay in Upper Jay was just the right distance away from our daughter’s lacrosse tournament closer to the village and provided the calm and peaceful stay we were looking for. The property was exactly as described, extremely clean, spacious, close to many hiking, swimming and rock jumping experiences. It was perfect for all ages that stayed with us and we will definitely book again when we return!

Excellent stay near Whiteface Mountain

I stayed there March 2025 for spring break with my four kids to ski and board Whiteface Mountain.The house is great. There is a farm house behind it to quickly pick up necessities…organic milk, cheese. I couldn't say better things!

Great Whiteface ski house

This property was great for our ski trip to Whiteface. Less than 15 minutes to the mountain which was super convenient. The house was exactly as it looks in the pictures. Nicely updated and very clean. The hot tub and game room were perfect for some fun after skiing. I would definitely recommend!

First off I never stayed here for my dates, so my review is only of the host. The host sent me a message the night before I was scheduled to arrive stating that the furnace was in the process of being replaced and the house was being heated by space heaters, which he said are working out quite well so far, just don’t ask me about my electric bill. I responded that I am not comfortable staying with two young kids and a dog in a house with space heaters. He refused to refund me and actually told me I was being grossly unfair to other guests that may have booked. I only booked the house the weekend before. He obviously knew the furnace wasn’t working and could have informed me then. If you look at a recent review of this house on another website you’ll see a review stating that they not were told about the space heaters prior to their arrival. First off space heaters can only be used in an emergency situation by landlords. Rentals are required to have a central heating system keeping an house to a minimum of 68 degrees by law. This was not an emergency as I had not even arrived. Space heaters by fire code are not to be left unattended or while sleeping. So beware that while the house may seem very nice in reviews, the host is dishonest. I contacted VRBO and they refunded me my money and tried to help me find another place to stay on such short notice, so thank you VRBO.

Our passion is hospitality. That’s why we host. And that’s why we’ve gone out of our way to ensure our guests’ comfort with additional heaters to supplement our dual minisplit system while we await our main furnace replacement in early April. We have had no complaints about temperature or comfort level in the home. And the heaters - supplied by our propane provider - are all new and safety certified.
