Could have been better!!!

We had a great time except for snow conditions being really bad. House was very clean. Directions to home were a bit confusing but we found it. House needs more than 1 TV. currently only has 1 TV in LR but none in the game room or any of the bedrooms. House all needs better detail of bed lay out. Approx 12miles to Mount Snow, which is not what the description said either. House was nice, but def. not what we expected or as described on website.

Owner response:Thank you for your review. Yes the house only has one TV and we have never had a negative comment about it, but perhaps we should consider adding another downstairs - actually this may be a great idea! Looking back at the website I noticed that the bed layout and details are very well described but I am happy to rewrite them to make even clearer. Thanks for your update on the distance to Mt.Snow as we listed 15 miles and you corrected us with 12 miles. This is a bonus! Yes unfortunately GPS does confuse directions in that area and that is why I email precise driving directions. Unfortunately you arrived late at night and I can appreciate your confusion. Best regards. Maggie

Hi Maggie!! We had a fantastic time at your house! Everybody had a comfortable place to sleep. Being city kids, we really appreciated and enjoyed the fireplace. It was so nice and cozy. The house was easy enough to get to and we had a nice view from the balcony, which we really enjoyed. The kitchen was pretty well equipped which made it easy for us as we cooked our own dinners. My only suggestion is to maybe switch to a higher wattage bulb for the light directly above the dining table. Otherwise, everything else was absolutely perfect for us! :) We really appreciate you sharing your house with us. And we will look forward to staying there again. Thanks so much Maggie & Alex! Cheers :D

We had a wonderful time staying at this house! We had 10 adults (5 couples) and still had plenty of privacy and comfort. The house has a relaxing quality and was the perfect getaway for a skiing/snowboarding weekend. And the wood-burning stove was so warm and comforting. It was also nice that the grocery store was near by, because we spent a lot of time in the kitchen as well - cooking and baking. We absolutely loved our stay and would recommend it for a relaxing vacation.

My group and I had a great time staying at this home. It was very clean and well maintained. The house is close to Mt. Snow, restaurants, shops and the grocery store, making it a very convenient location. We had a group of 10 and there was plenty of room for everyone. Maggie and Alex were very helpful, providing recommendations of things to do in the area. We will definitely return!

Great House - Pictures don't do it justice

My family (6 adults) rented this house for Christmas 2010. Everything was wonderful, the location is very easy to get to and close to town. The house itself is just fantastic, the pictures really don't do it justice. It is spacious, comfortable, and bright. All the windows/glass doors let lots of light in and the wood stove in the main living area makes it very cozy! The owners were very responsive to any questions that we had prior to our stay and it was made very clear that we could contact them with any problems once we were at the house, although we had no need to. Even though we had only 6 adults, there is definitely plenty of space for more people to stay here comfortably. We very much enjoyed the ping pong, large TV, and Wifi! The ipod dock was also very handy for our Christmas music! The only minor downside was the kitchen appliances and utensils. We did lots of cooking and baking for the holiday since all restaurants were closed and it would have been useful to have some more pans and appliances, but we made do. We will definitely be staying here again! Thank you so much!

Everything you'll need for a great weekend

The house is beautiful, very cozy and very spacious with 3 floors and plenty of sleeping room. It's extremely clean, and has all the amenities you'll need: internet, lots of towels, sheets, blankets, heaters in every room, laundry machines, dish washer, entertainment after a day on the slopes etc. The kitchen is very well stocked, bathrooms are clean/new. Plenty of hot water and heat. This is by far the most accommodating home we've ever stayed at! The owners Maggie and Alex are also VERY helpful and responsive. They're easily reached by phone if you have any questions and they really take care of anyone who rents this house. My party came in the middle of a snowstorm and ran into some car troubles; the owners immediately provided us with a number to call to plow the roads and sent us information about nearby services. They really care about this house and make sure their renters enjoy their stay. The neighborhood is very friendly-- everyone helps each other out (one of the neighbors came out to help us with our car troubles!) The house is very close to Mount Snow, no more than a 20 min drive. Plenty of grocery stores on the way to/from the mountain. The home isnt difficult to find. You'll manage just fine without a GPS. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a great stress free stay near Mount Snow. Thanks Maggie and Alex!

Great times year round

I've rented Spring Lake Escape twice - once in the fall and once during ski season - and plan to return. It's truly a year round escape. The house is very comfortable, well maintained and clean. The owners clearly care about their investment and are constantly upgrading. After a long day outdoors, plenty of indoor activities with the games provided, Ipod dock, wireless internet, and comfortable sitting area around the wood burning stove. Great layout with an open kitchen/family room space. Outside the house, good proximity to Mt. Snow, Wilmington, Brattleboro, the lake, hiking, and more. Logistically very easy in and out. Very nice for families or adult gatherings. Thanks Maggie and Alex!

GREAT ESCAPE

We rented this place out for the weekend to Mt. Snow. We had around 16 people and had plenty of sleep space along with a well furnished house. All amenities were included. It was very comfy and cozy. I recommend this place to anyone who is interested. 20 min from the mtn with supermarkets near by. Will try to come back again soon. Thanks from everyone. Vince

The house is very nice and spacious. The place was clean and very well maintained. We definitely would like to go back there in the future. We loved the layout of the place especially the living room with cozy fireplace. The ping-pong table was a hit as well!

The house is very welcoming, clean and spacious, it feels like home. It is also kids friendly, well equipped, so you do not have to drag all the toys with you. The location of the house is great, very close to a grocery store, pharmacy, the downtown, and 20 minutes car-ride to Mount Snow. The view from the living room is absolutely stunning! Overall we had a truly wonderful time and we will definitely go back to this place.
