The Hidden Gem!

Guest: Kim (West New York, NJ)
Date of Stay: 04/24/11 Review Submitted: 05/03/11

The Owners were wonderful in helping us plan our Easter Weekend Get-Away! Living close to Manhattan, it's nice having this Hidden Gem just a few miles away. We usually stay at the local resort but we think going forward in the future we would like to continue to stay at this property. Everything is very nicely decorated, clean and organized to suit all of your needs being away from home. Tons of entertainment, in the lower level - AWESOME, INCREDITABLE! It was a rainy weekend for us, so no golf but as you will see there is pleanty to do once you get there! We definetly recommend this property...Hope to visit again in the Summer and maybe Winter for skiing!

Owner response:Kim, much obliged, see you again at your next visit!

Our BD weekend for Hubby

Guest: Ruthie (NJ)
Date of Stay: 01/21/11 Review Submitted: 01/30/11

WoWWWWW is how we felt about this fantastic condo!!! We just fell in love with this home. It is so warm and inviting. My family went to Vernon to spend a memorable big BD weekend for my hubby. Engaged daughter and fiance as well as 18 year old daughter and her bf. When we walked in the door it screamed RELAXATION. The condo met all of our needs and then some. Everyone was very comfortable. Hubby esp. loved the private movie room. He even skipped skiing to just chill and relax there. Vin is so nice and welcoming. Condo is so perfect for a couple, family or girlfriend get away. We plan to go again next year as a family and in the spring or fall I'm planning a girlfriend weekend. Can't wait to go again. We can't say enough wonderful things and have told all our family and friends.

Owner response:Thank you for your kind words and for the referrals to your friends and family!

Amazing space!

Date of Stay: 12/30/10 Review Submitted: 01/09/11

We stayed here for New Year's weekend. The pictures and description of this rental does not do it justice! It is so clean, organized and well-stocked - it immediately makes you feel relaxed being there. Kitchen has everything you need and is attached to living room and dining room so it is perfect for prepping and entertaining. And thank you for the keurig - what a bonus! The downstairs - wow! Bar was cute and the large screen tv sitting area was cozy. Then there was an entertainment area for games. And - if you'd rather - hit the stadium seated theater. Now that was an awesome treat that set this place apart from others we've rented. Super close to mountain for snowboarding. We never even went to the clubhouse, but we will check it out next time we stay here! Thank you so much. This was the perfect way to ring in the New Year! And, if you are wavering on renting this place for any reason, don't! You absolutely cannot go wrong with this place!

Owner response:Christina, thank you! See you next year!

Golf Weekend

Guest: Mike (New Jersey)
Date of Stay: 10/01/10 Review Submitted: 10/18/10

The pictures of this home do not do it justice. This house is spectacular they really have gone above and beyond. The home does not feel like a rental property at all the owners have left nothing out they really make you feel at home when you are in their magnificent condo. We had a golf weekend and loved watching TV playing cards and using the bar. The theater is just incredible state of the art we only wish we could have stayed up later to watch more movies. So many extras and the house is decorated like its a showroom. We will defiantly be planning another trip to the Crystal Springs area.

Owner response:Mike, thank you for the glowing review! I look forward to seeing you next time!

Terrific place to stay

Guest: Gillian (New York )
Date of Stay: 08/13/10 Review Submitted: 09/08/10

Our family of 6 stayed here for a golf weekend vacation in August. We had a terrific stay in this condo and couldn't have asked for anything more -- every feature of the home was wonderful and the hosts did a fantastic job of ensuring a great stay, it's as if they thought of every possible scenario for their guests and provided everything the guests would need. The condo was spacious, well-furnished, impeccably clean, well-equipped with an outside grill, amazing home theater and entertainment center, washer & dryer, kitchenware/dinnerware and all the little things that made a stay convenient and comfortable. Thanks again to the hosts for a wonderful stay!

Owner response:You are very welcome!

Condo at Crystal Springs

Guest: Sheila (Dundee, Scotland)
Date of Stay: 05/19/10 Review Submitted: 06/23/10

The listing description was perfect; in fact the pictures and description did not fully do it justice. It is in excellent condition and is beyond clean and well-maintained. Vince provided lots of information which was all very useful. Very friendly and went out of his way to help. We would have no hesiitation recommending this venue to family and friends; have already done this in fact. The property is right on a golf course and within easy access of so many others so obviously a delight for golfers. A car is a "must have" and if, like us, you are visiting from abroad I would suggest the use of a sat nav or similar. The house is just beautiful and the amenites are first class.

Janice did a very nice job with the decor. We felt as comfortable and relaxed as if we were home. I like the idea of no TV on the main floor as (a way) to promote more conversation. Great man cave downstairs Vince! The kids (& adults) loved the theater. I told Susan I want to replicate it in our downstairs. Visiting NYC was cool & staying here worked out well. We had a great time and everyone was friendly & helpful in NY. Thanks for everything and maybe I'll see you again for a guys Golf/NY vacation. Dan C. & Family, Bay City, MI

What a perfect retreat! I can't think of a better place to have had our reunion. The condo was beautifully finished, and Vince and Janice thought of every detail from the luxury bedding to the path lights to the built-in speaker systems to the fully stocked kitchen. We didn't have to worry about a thing, and were able to relax, cook, and enjoy the beautiful views and well-finished home. It was so kind of Vince to come up and give us a tour so that we were well-situated. Everything was perfectly organized and sparkling clean, and we really felt very welcome thanks to Vince's warmth and hospitality. Thank you for such a wonderful stay, and we will definitely be coming back!

We had rented vacation condos before but nothing compares to this! This has the amenities of a five star hotel, with the warmth of a private home. The linens are what you would expect from a five star hotel. The warm personal welcome from the owners makes you feel like guests in someone's home. The home theater was wonderful. The kids enjoyed the lower level with all the electronics. This is not your typical rental. Just looking at the photos posted here makes me want to go back. I would defiantly recommend this to my friends and family.

Owner response:Thank you!

We were able to visit with our daughters over their Christmas break in very comfortable surroundings. We enjoyed watching movies, reminiscing, laughing and telling stories! Thanks for the little Christmas tree and holiday decorations as they made the condo feel like home for the holidays. Kevin & Vicki

We had a wonderful stay here last week. The entire condo is in immaculate condition with loads of amenities. The proximity to water park and pools was why we came, the condo itself is what made the trip truly enjoyable. Owners were a pleasure to deal with and super organized. We look forward to our next stay at this property!

What a beautiful Condo, perfect setting, picture perfect sunsets, pristine, immaculate, with every single amenity included. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Condo, and will return again next year, or when the next opportunity presents itself. The rooms are spacious and well appointed, the views open and beautiful, and the downstairs area is a huge bonus. There is ample room in the unit for 6 people to have space of their own. We thoroughly loved it! Thank you Janice and Vin for a beautiful experience!

What a beautiful condo-on the Crystal Springs Golf Course!...The TV setup downstairs is awesome. The guys played the Crystal Springs Course on Saturday. The weather was perfect and the course unbelievable, beautiful, tough and interesting. As owners of a vacation rental in Sanibel, FL, we feel you are giving a great value for what you have!
