Great location and easy to find. Nice layout for kids. Few things that could have been better. The house itself was dirtier than expected (food stains on the walls/counters). There were no sheets for the trundle bed. There was only a few drops of dish soap left and certain things didn’t work like the hair dryer. All the games for the kids were disorganized with missing game pieces and one even had a bunch of old candy wrappers. When we inquired about late checkout no one ever responded.

From the owner: "Thank you for your review, Lauren. We appreciate your feedback and have already taken steps to address your concerns. New games have been purchased to replace the existing ones, housekeeping has been informed about the kitchen cleanliness issues, and new hair dryers are on order. Thank you again for sharing your experience, and we look forward to having you stay again to enjoy all these new amenities."
The house was great for kids, plenty of space to play and relax in the gameroom. The kitchen was supplied well. The hill next to the house worked well to play in the snow as well as the snow park and activity center down the road.

From the owner: "We are glad your family enjoyed your stay. Hopefully, your kids left with happy memories. We look forward to your next family vacation here."
The home is sufficient for a getaway during winter. Geared for a ski trip. Plenty of beds, linen, and cooking supplies to prepare meals.

Dirty! Home had not been properly cleaned. The property is in need of a deep cleaning. Food splatter on ceiling in kitchen, old food stuck to floor in dining are, most items in kitchen were dirty. Pots/pans had to be washed before we could use. Non stick coating on all pans are damaged/scratched. We had to load cups & mugs in dishwasher upon arrival to have clean cups. Foosball table missing balls, dvd player in family room had no power cable or hdmi cable (inoperable). Corners/edges of carpet had crumbs, dirt. I’m happy to provide photos of everything. The host initially offered to come over about halfway through our stay to clean. After her missed attempt, host stated if we are unhappy with the accommodations, we could leave!

The right vacation home is everything, and we're disappointed if this wasn't the one for you. We're truly sorry to hear that your stay didn’t meet expectations. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your review, and they wanted to share the following:- The local team takes cleanliness seriously, so it's disappointing to hear that the home wasn't in the condition you expected. They offered to return and clean during your stay, but we understand this wasn’t the solution you were looking for at the time.- We appreciate the feedback on the pots and pans. The owner has noted the condition of the cookware and is looking into replacing any items that are worn or damaged.- The foosball table and DVD player are typically guest favorites, so we’re sorry they weren't fully functional during your visit. The missing cables were delivered during your stay, and steps have been taken to ensure all entertainment amenities are ready for future guests.- We understand that things didn’t go as planned, and the local team did their best to offer alternative accommodations to help make things right.Thank you again for taking the time to share your feedback. It helps us and the homeowner continue to improve for future guests!

Overall, this was a wonderful home for a vacation with young children because of the location. The small hill behind the house was perfect for sledding, building snowmen and having snowball fights. The kids were very excited about the bunk beds, and the natural light at the top of the house was great for the adults.I would be aware that there are some things that could make the stay better. The dishwasher is finnicky and old. Consequently, we arrived to find a washer that was full of dirty dishes, in spite of the fact that it looked like previous guests had tried to run the machine. The hair dryer was also on its last legs, and we alerted the home management that the tv was not workable. They did offer to come out, but we didn't want to take time out of our trip. To be honest, it ended up being fine having a weekend without tv.There were very few amenities in the way of shampoo, body lotion, paper towels or toilet paper. Just be aware when planning your trip that you might need to bring your own. Most of the bottles were nearly empty, and we had to buy paper towels.We would rent this house again, but these are some things that we would have planned for better with some insight.
