This is a great house with almost everything you need. The host was great and made check in really easy. The only downside was the lack of bathroom door in the main floor bedroom, and lack of curtains.

We had such a great stay at Mama’s Mountain Place! The house is beautiful but still feels super comfortable and homey, with plenty of space for everyone to relax.We went skiing during the day and loved coming back to the hot tub at night—it was the perfect way to unwind. The game room was also a big hit, especially the foosball table!One of the best parts was the location. It was close enough to town for easy shopping on a rainy day, but still felt peaceful and tucked away.Overall, it was such a fun and relaxing trip. We’d definitely come back!

The house is beautiful. Rooms are smaller than the pictures, the pond is a good distance away and the hot water never really got hot but overall, my family had a wonderful time. The children loved the bunks in the playroom and the views were spectacular.

The home looks beautiful and is in a convenient location with lovely views and good amenities! We were a group of friends, a few of whom have children, and we were comfortable enough for a long weekend. However, there is absolutely no soundproofing in the home. For example, I could hear our friend upstairs clearing his throat when we were each in our own rooms, and the kids wouldn’t have been able to sleep in the basement with the adults talking upstairs if we hadn’t brought white noise machines. There are no doors on a few of the bathrooms and no curtains on many of the windows, including the glass doors from the primary bedroom to the shared deck. The house was clean enough but certainly not pristine - there were dust bunnies under the beds and used coffee lids under one sink. We were disappointed in having to buy our own body soap, dish soap, and paper products (beyond the “starter packs”) given the amount we paid to stay in the home. Finally, communication with the rental company was slow; I contacted them with a question during their business hours (I also tried to call but only got a voicemail), and they didn’t respond to me until 19 hours later. Overall, it was a fine stay, but I’m not sure we would stay here again.

We also apologize for the delayed response from our team — Customer Care will review our communication process and follow up regarding your stay.
Thank you for bringing these items to our attention. - BRMR
The house isn’t very well insulated against noise. The downstairs metal ceiling tiles rattled something terrible with people walking overhead. Would have been nice to have some closet space in the bedrooms especially the primary bedroom. No good space to unpack your clothes. Also the pump in the downstairs bathroom is extremely loud when running water in the sink and flushing the toilet. Woken up in the night when someone was using the bathroom. Not very much hot water for showers. Beds a bit firm. Also need some window coverings. Overall the decor was lovely and fit our group well. The noise factor was the issue. Thank you!
