We had an incredible stay at the Pool House! The views were beautiful, the house was comfortable, and the pool was AMAZING! The pool room and pool itself were pristine and warm (despite negative temps outside!). Also appreciated the extra safety features to access the pool since we had small children staying with us. Charles was friendly and responsive, and we would highly recommend this property!

Wonderful Week

My spouse and I had a delightful week at the pool house. The location is beautiful and private but only 20 minutes from all the amenities of Manchester. We swam every day in the pool and just totally relaxed. We look forward to returning soon.

Thank you Robyn for the great review. We were happy to hear that you were able to use the new Level Two EV Charger at the house. This makes the property easy for EV owners to visit and is another energy efficiency upgrade at the house. Thank you! Charles.

Wonderful!

We really enjoyed our stay at the pool house. The indoor pool room is amazing, and we had the unique experience of swimming all afternoon while watching the snow fall outside! The house is beautiful, with large yet cozy rooms and had everything that we needed. We cooked several meals in the kitchen, and there were even plastic wine glasses to take to the pool 😊 The Wi-Fi was way to connect to and strong enough for all the devices. The dining room was a favorite space, with an entire wall of glass up to a vaulted ceiling. We played board games and watched the wildlife when we weren’t swimming in the pool or watching movies in the family room. There is a nice woods and mountain view out back. Manchester was a short drive for shopping and restaurants. We contacted the host a few times with questions and he was quick to respond with helpful answers. We would absolutely stay here again.

Overall very good experience with a hiccup

Overall our stay was very enjoyable, but the house needs some maintenance and more attention to detail in the summer months. On arrival we found the property was not properly prepared for guests and the two bedroom on the second floor were blazing hot and unusable so we consolidated on the first floor. As we opened windows to cool the house (we stayed for July 4th weekend) opening windows revealed that the house had been unoccupied for quite some time, and we were forced to strip the beds and wash the linen at 10pm. We let the property owner know and they promised to address our concerns for future guests. Given the price per night, we didn’t think the cleanliness of the beds was a good value for the money.The rest of the house was well equipped, pantry was stocked with useful items and plenty of dishware/cookware. The living room was welcoming and the kids enjoyed the movies that were available.The Indoor pool is huge and even though it has some age on it, the heater worked extremely well. They provide plenty of clean towels and floaters for all ages! I do think the pool needs to be cleaned more frequently though. You come to Vermont in the summer for the outdoors, and this property does not disappoint in that regard. The property is expansive and well maintained with plenty of space. Not far from the property are great hiking trails and a river you can swim in although the master was ice cold! Views are stunning. I bet winter and fall are stunning here!

Great winter family getaway

This is by far the best vacation we have been on since Covid started. My husband and 2 kids and I never even left the house. It was cold, snowy and all we wanted to do was swim. We brought all the food we needed to make our dinners. Brought board games and had the best time. Super clean and cozy. We brought our own towels but they had plenty of beach towels for days. Nice touches we greatly appreciated. We loved to maple syrup and pancake mix. We look forward to coming back for another fun visit.

Indoor Pool & Close to Skiing

Communication and check in with Charles was flawless. The house is extremely well equipped. They have thought of everything. Our only issue was the inability to control the pool area temp. It was pretty cold to sit out there watching the grandkids play in the pool, which was the reason for renting this house. It improved late in the afternoon but try holding kids off until 3pm! So, renting on a typical January day in Vermont and considering the price for a house with a pool, it seems silly not to be able to let the renters control the pool area temperature just like any other room in the house. Even my husband wore his jacket to sit out there.

Response from VrboOwner on 17 Aug 2023
Thank you Rhonda for your review. We are always looking for ways to improve the property. There are challenges in heating a large indoor pool room in Vermont in the winter months; we have found that the room does heat up when the cover is off and people are swimming, although this may not be enough for everyone on the coldest days in Vermont. Another issue with heating the room is the humidity that is created when the cover is removed. We are also careful not to mix any electric fixtures or appliances in the vicinity of the pool, including heating appliances. That said, this is an issue that we plan to explore further. Thank you for being outstanding guests!

Perfect Winter Weekend Getaway

First of all, Charles truly makes himself available when it comes to communicating with him. He is very prompt to respond right away. The house was perfect for 10 adults (and we did not utilize the basement). Once we got there we did not leave until it was Check-Out time! It was the perfect winter weekend getaway. The views are absolutely amazing! I only gave 4 stars for the location simply because the nearest grocery store was roughly 20 minutes away; however, we showed up full prepared! I would highly suggest this house and even rent it again!

A great place to hang out with friends!

The Mettawee house was the perfect setting for our weekend get away Bachelorette party. Clean, comfortable, and spacious, we used the common rooms during the day for lounging and games and still all had a private space to retreat to at night. It was cold outside but the pool was a comfortable temperature and there are great views from every window. Would definitely use again!!

About the host

Hosted by Charles Harris

Host profile image
The Mettawee house was originally purchased by the owners as a vacation home. The owners loved the Danby location, and the local residents were incredibly friendly. The indoor pool was a great feature, that isn't found in many homes - particularly in Vermont! The owners like the property so much that they decided to share it with others so that they could experience the gorgeous setting, incredible views, and unique Vermont experience.

Why they chose this property

Welcome to Vermont! In the Green Mountains State, you'll find famous fall foliage, renowned maple syrup and the most snow on the east coast. But there is so much more too: enjoy local food at restaurants and farmers’ markets, savor the revered beer culture, meet world-class artisans, explore endless recreational opportunities, rejuvenate at the spa, learn at noteworthy historic sites and above all, please stay awhile… Vermont’s attributes will continue to reveal themselves to you in honest and inspiring ways.

Vermonters are known for their independent-thinking, friendliness, sportiness, and resourcefulness. The state’s residents love the land and are committed to preserving, as well as sharing it. Vermont’s agricultural traditions have created open working landscapes amid a backdrop of mountains, many of which make up the nation’s first through-hiking trail, the Long Trail.

While it’s easy to spend days simply taking in the scenery, it’s even more rewarding to become a part of it. It’s easy to explore backs roads and well-maintained trails by bicycle. Go for a run or walk along busy downtown paths or quiet villages with covered bridges. Drop into a halfpipe on your skis or snowboard and share the trail with local Olympians. Cast a line in a lake or stream, or relax beachside at a pristine state park. Whatever the day brings, the night is sure to deliver a solid night’s rest - whether you choose to camp under the stars, cozy up under a quilt at an inn, or appreciate the thread-count at a luxurious resort.

In Vermont, one thing is beautifully certain: The seasons will change. And with that change, so does the landscape, the recreation, and the way of life. With every season comes new opportunities to explore the world around you. Welcome to a state that is truly never out of season.

What makes this property unique

Unique Benefits:
Swimming in the indoor pool in the middle of a snow storm
Unparalleled views of the mountains
Night-time sky - more stars than you have seen before
No other people, houses or cars around - it's really quiet!
