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.

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 ❤️

Cozy great space for families
A groups of friends and families (5 adults 9 kids) spent the long weekend here and it was the perfect space. It was cold and rainy and we spent a lot of it indoors. We enjoyed the layout where most of the bedroom space was downstairs and living space upstairs. The ping pong table yielded hours of delight for all ages. The couch was cozy and fit us all. And when we got some outside time between the raindrops the outdoor play set was great! We even managed a fire and s’mores outside. Kate was responsive when we had questions. Would stay here again for another reunion! Thanks!

Family getaway
This house was perfect for our big family. We have kids ranging from 4-22 and this home has something for everyone. The playground was perfect for the younger ones, ping pong and pool for the older ones, and we all enjoyed campfires under the stars in this very quiet spot. There were stores close by and it’s centrally located to a lot of hiking, swimming and sightseeing. Just a great spot and Kate is very responsive and great to deal with. Definitely would love to stay here again in the future.

The house was perfect for our weekend trip. Bedrooms had big enough beds to accommodate grown men. The upstairs living space plenty of room to accommodate video games and a game of pool, plus hanging out and chatting. The fridge has plenty of space and there’s a Shaw’s grocery store up the road, which was very convenient. Overall was an excellent trip and a big part of that was thanks to this rental property!
