We were very pleased with the location and the property is very nice. We lucked out with beautiful Fall weather. There were six (6) in our party & accommodations were accurate. We had good communication with the owner and he attended to any questions/needs. Some things like WIFI and furnace issues are out of the owner's control. It is a great location for Afton Alps Ski area and is perfect for the Winter months too.
We loved the area and owners were awesome. Negatives; The toilets were all dirty. The queen bed creaked all the time so they did not sleep well. The hide a bed was uncomfortable. Loved the animals. Friday was hoping to walk trails but rained all day. The master suite was awesome. Did not see shades on some of the master windows and sliding door. Otherwise overall was great. Thanks
Excellent stay, Laurie and Sean were outstanding if we had a question they answered right away. Such a great place for our family get together, lots of space, clean and everything you need. Bonus got to pet the horses and play with the cats. Felt like home staying here. Thank you
Wonderful experience! Before we even got to the house, we saw horses and got to pet the sweet farm cats. Beautiful home, absolutely amazing master bedroom with 2twin mattresses in overlooking loft which we thought would be most appropriate for parents with two kids (able to safely climb up a spiral staircase) not for two people who wanted more privacy in the master bedroom. We ended up sharing the two full bathrooms and 1/2 bath. Our family loved sitting around the large table that seats at least 10, to share meals or play games or whatever, lounging in the large seating area, sitting on the deck to watch deer stroll through the meadow, and playing pool in the basement while listening to Frank Sinatra on vinyl records. Really close to Selma‘s ice cream shop in downtown Afton! Enjoyed the homemade cookies left for us. Internet not great and unable to access our own Netflix, but plenty of DVDs furnished or bring your own. Our phones all worked fine. We were all too busy doing above activities together anyway and enjoying State Fair to miss TV. We had to call Jez with a couple questions, who was very responsive. Thank you so much, definite five stars!
House was spacious. Rooms were well kept and cleaned. Family room has a pool table which is a plus. Patios are perched high up. There's a washer and dryer, albeit older models, but functioning. Spacious kitchen and dining area. Would definitely stay there again.
It was a nice house, very clean. It was a very peaceful location. The kids loved the outdoor cats. The internet was spotty so we had to use our spots, which is understandable for the location. We would definitely stay there again.
