Had some trouble with the lock and host did respond in evening hours and resolved it by remotely unlocking the doors for us. Location is great to Stratton however the home could use a deep clean. The bunk room had lady bugs flying throughout, spider webs on ceilings…the gas stove for heat was not working and the listing did not reflect that. The downstairs took very long to heat up with baseboard heat only and it didn’t help that windows and doors on main floor are very drafty. Despite some drawbacks, the beds were comfty and home is roomy for 2 families. We were able to cook our meals during our stay.

Ski weekend with kids, friends, and family

Comfortable house with a great set up for families with kids, including two families given the room set ups. Not far from Mount Snow although in the wrong direction from town (which we knew). Great for a quick ski weekend.

Great Family House

The house is in a great location on the main road and between Stratton and Mount Snow. We went skiing at both! It has a nice setup for family fun, open layout, plenty of beds and hangout space, everything you need in the kitchen, games, movies and more. The house was cozy and clean and I would rent this house again!

Wonderful family ski trip

We feel so fortunate to have found this great spot a short drive away from Mt Snow and right on a beautiful river. Cozy, warm, and had everything we needed. Becky was so communicative and everything was easy. Thank you!

Spacious and simply stay!

My group and I stayed here for a weekend getaway and couldn't have asked for an easier welcome and stay. A few of my guests met the owners upon check-in and only had wonderful things to say about them. Majority of us live busy lives and Chris' home hit the spot for the perfect "off the radar" vibes but close enough to civilization if we really wanted it. The house is simple and has all the needs one can ask or want for. My group and I would gladly return!

Nice quiet getaway from it all

Quiet retreat with a nice little river out back, with plenty of room for a fire pit if you’d like. Lenty of amenities to make your stay comfortable with a nice dining and living room area downstairs. My personal favorite was the upstairs however, with several beds and the convertible washer and dryer. should you need it!

Great Snowboard Stay

This home was as described . Our purpose was skiing and snowboarding and the proximity to Mt Snow and Stratton were great!! Plus we actually had a lot of snow. Chris (owner) was very a helpful from the start. There is no local or cable TV and she made certain that wifi was in great working order so we could use Firestick to watch the olympics. The house was spotless with all the extras sheets towels which were not old and overused and the beds were new and comfy. We had a little problem with the heat but called Jim the maintenance man who came over immediately and fixed it. We would reccommend this home to others for sure. Thanks Chris!

Perfect place to stay

My family (husband and two children) along with another family with two children stayed at this property for 3 nights to celebrate a 40th birthday and to go skiing/snowboarding. We truly enjoyed our stay there and would gladly go back. As previous reviews have mentioned, the house is fully stocked. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook and there's a barbecue on the back deck which we also enjoyed using. The TV downstairs has netflix and tons of good DVDs for the children to watch along with another TV upstairs in the children's room. The bathrooms had plenty of toilet paper, soap, towels, etc. and it was nice to have a washer and dryer available along with laundry detergent available to use. The children loved sledding in the back yard (sleds were also provided with the house) and the view of the river in the back was priceless. It was a perfect getaway from our busy lives at home and we will gladly return again.

functional but not the best experience

Overall, a functional place for staying for a ski trip at stratton. We had a large group and we ate breakfast and dinner at the bnb. Unfortunately, the power went out during our stay in the middle of the night and the description does mention that it might go out, there wasn't a storm happening or anything. It also didn't seem like the host made any effort to inquire why there was a power outage. Luckily the power came back on in the morning so it wasn't too bad. There also wasn't enough toilet paper and paper towels, and we messaged the host but they said they wouldn't provide and we'd have to go out and buy some. Additionally there is only 3 in 1 mens shampoo so I would recommend bringing shampoo and soap. All of these things were also on the listing as to be provided by the BNB host though they weren't / were not adequately provided for the entirety of our stay.

We had a great stay at this ski house rental overall!The kitchen was very good — stocked with everything we needed. The bathrooms were spacious and well kept, and the bedrooms were large with plenty of beds to accommodate everyone easily. Communication with the owners was quick and seamless from start to finish, which made everything stress-free.The one con was that we were informed the day before arrival that the propane fireplace wasn’t working due to maintenance. It would have been nice to know earlier, especially since it’s the middle of winter and the fireplace adds to the ski house experience. We booked the house expecting the fireplace. Overall, it was a comfortable and enjoyable stay, and we appreciated how responsive the owners were throughout the process.

Wonderful summer getaway

This place is everything we were looking for. The Wardsboro river (Creek) running in the backyard was the only thing our kid’s needed to keep them occupied. The place was exactly as advertised. I the downside of the property was the lack of air conditioning in the second floor. It got really swampy during the night so that would’ve been a plus. Otherwise, we would definitely return again !
