Great location and tons of space

We only had 5 adults which gave us plenty of space. You can tell that the house is loved and is cared for by the host.

Ski getaway

Plenty of space for a big family. Just 30 minutes from MT Snow and Berkshire East. Chris was very communicative and helpful. He plowed after a big storm came the night we checked in and had a fire running for us when we arrived.

awesome family ski spot!

Had the best couple of days skiiing at Stowe with a large group of friends and family. More than enough room for everyone after a long day of skiing, and Stowe was only a 30 min drive. Chris was super helpful with the property since the temp dropped right before we arrived, and took the time to clear out the driveway and help with iciness. The house is full of hilarious character, and we had a blast!

Great Time

We were up for a ski vacation and Chris couldn’t have been more accommodating., great communication throughout, and wanted to make sure we had a great stay. The wood stove made for a really warm and inviting game room, lots of space to spread out for younger and older kids, and easy ride to Mount Snow! Loved the creative and homey decorations - made for a fun scavenger hunt for the younger kids. Thank you!

Ski weekend

House was great for my friends and I to stay for a couple nights to go skiing! Chris was super friendly! The exact check in and check out instruction were a little confusing, but Chris was super responsiveness with questions and even allowed us to check out a bit late! Overall, highly recommend this amazing winter cabin!

Had an awesome time!

Had a great stay here with some friends MLK weekend. Chris is super laid back and easy to get in touch with and gives you all the info you need upon arriving. The house is super homey and unique, everything we needed. He even plowed us out the driveway when we left after a storm, really nice cool guy.

Lovely home in mountains

We had a wonderful time in Chris' home. We cooked several meals in the kitchen, and had more than enough room for the 8 of us. His house provided easy access to skiing (we went to Mount Snow) and hiking through the back of the property. I would highly recommend staying here!

Ski Getaway

House was very comfy and roomy. An easy 25 minute ride to Mt. Snow made our ski getaway just what we were looking for. Will rent again next time we are going to VT. Chris was a pleasure to work with.

Good house

An old farmhouse with a very good location right on Hwy. 100. The owner, Chris Thompson was good to deal with and accommodated our needs well. He let us use the washer and dryer, which we really needed with our dirty hiking clothes, and also let us use the bed linens, which he doesn't do ordinarily. The house has lots of quirks and funky art work but overall had a very warm and comfortable feel. We had no problems with anything.

Hillside home

Thelocation , size of the house was fantastic. There was too much stuff . The refrigerator had a lot of food in it and was not clean. All the closets drawers were full. I am sure there is a washer and dryer there but we couldn't use it. A real disappointment when you are hiking swimming etc. Especially when there is a lot of rain and our clothes were wet and muddy.
Response from VrboOwner on 27 July 2021
Hi Anna, We are working on a second fridge and to put that older fridge in the basement with our condiments. The house is on a well and I have had problems with water supply with washing loads of laundry, running the dishwasher and 15 people taking showers. The renters following your stay requested a washer and dryer, I explained the water situation and granted them use. The house is not a full-time rental, we use the house considerably more than we rent the house, so yes our stuff is there in the dressers and the closets. Vacation rentals by owners, not hotel or condominium rentals by professionals. We truly want all of our guests to enjoy their stay to the fullest and we are constantly working to make the house and property more accommodating to all that visit our vacation get away. Thanks again for renting, Chris.

Couldn't have been a more perfect fit for our group.

We knew from the extensive pictures what the house was going to look like but once inside, it felt like home. There was plenty of room for our group of 11, not only in bed space but in the common areas which was needed due to the rainy weather most of the weekend (woohoo for the covered grill area). The house decor inside and out was fun and inviting. We did get to hang in the beautiful yard and talked about how great it would be to visit again. Chris the host was super helpful in answering our many questions and accomodating (thanks for the dog cage!). This property will be on the revisit list for sure!

Overall great stay!

Great house! Very big and roomy, very clean, very cozy, very cool and has a lot of personality. House has wifi. Property manager was super nice and easy to communicate with and even started the wood burning stove for us before we got there. The room with the stove is really nice and warm. Stayed with a group of 10 and was way more than enough room, everyone in our group enjoying staying here.

Awesome Experience

This house was exactly what my friends and I were looking for! It was exactly as described. There was so much room for our big group and so many rooms for activities! The house is very unique, which made our stay even more interesting. Our host, Chris, was very accommodating and helpful as we planned our stay. He even dropped by to bring us some sleds, which we used in the huge, beautiful backyard. The fact that there was no service or wifi was originally intimidating, but turned out to be a pleasant escape from reality that we didn’t know we needed. We had a fantastic time and we definitely hope to stay there again soon!

Great place for winter holiday with young families

We spent the New Years holiday here with a group of 8 adults, a couple of young toddlers, and a dog. The house was extremely spacious and comfortable for our group, with a nice big kitchen for cooking together. Chris was very communicative and we felt we had everything we needed! No wifi/cell service (which we anticipated and enjoyed) but we had service in town a few miles up the road if needed. An extra bonus was a snowstorm that allowed us to go sledding and snow hiking in the back yard - perfect way to celebrate the holiday.
