Our stay went very well. Just like the pictures show, the view was amazing, and it is truly quite isolated, which is what we were looking for. The beds were spacious and comfortable, and the amount of tables and seating everywhere made things very easy.I could imagine the long driveway could be problematic in the winter, but we had no problems on our stay in September.Would absolutely stay there again.

Excellent experience

Very cool house in a remote location with excellent views. The house was well maintained, while the location was a bit remote and off the beaten path, that was part of what made it special. Great experience, great host!

Beautiful house…and the views can’t be beat!

We had a work retreat here, and there was plenty of room. Multiple bathrooms, living room and deck great for entertaining. Weather was really warm, would have loved having cushions for outdoor patio furniture, but understand it was stored for winter coming. Highly recommend this space for families or large groups!

Disconnecting from it all

We stayed a few days at this house and it was fantastic. Amaxing views, quiet and peaceful - great spaces in the house. House was big roomy, bright with privacy. We slept with windows open - felt safe and part of the wilderness. Nothing negative to say about the home, property and our stay.

All rooms were spotless. The kitchen was well equipped with the exception of a proper pot to boil pasta. The teflon pot was scratched and we were reluctant to use it. Because of the hard well water the dishes coming out of the dishwasher appeared filmy. Not dirty. A good water softener would solve this problem. However, these minor issues compared to the fabulous setting, upkeep, and spaciousness of the home are nothing. Quality mattresses and sheets were on all the beds. Organic soaps, shampoos and conditioners were in generous supply. The heating was easy to use. The wi-fi was strong throughout the entire house. The seating in every area was cozy and more than adequate. Secluded in an excellent way. I highly recommend this place for a family gathering or celebration.

Thank you so much for sharing such a thoughtful and thorough review! We're delighted to hear the home delivered on so many fronts — from the spotless rooms and quality bedding to the organic toiletries, strong wi-fi, and that wonderful sense of seclusion. We truly appreciate your feedback regarding the pasta pot and the water situation, and we've passed those notes along to our team to address. It means so much that you'd recommend the home for family gatherings, and we'd love to welcome you and your loved ones back for another special celebration!

almost but no cigar

I had started requesting information and pictures of the cooking equipment immediately after booking this property 6 mos before my stay. The pictures never arrived after repeated pleas. Additionally after making clear my intent to cook an ornate TGiving dinner I was NEVER alerted to the fact that there is NO VENTILATION over the stove in the kitchen. NO ONE should cook in this kitchen unless all your cooking is outdoor bbq'ing. Its not safe and get very smoky in that kitchen very quickly.

Our team did send photos and provided the cooking equipment as per your request. Thank you for your feedback, and please feel free to reach out to us with any concerns during your future stays. We will do our best to address them promptly.

The setting at Chester by Avant Stay was fantastic. The views from the deck, breakfast room, living room and primary suite are spectacular. Being in a very secluded area was a plus for us; grocery shopping was a 25 minute ride away, which we planned for.The floor plan was generous and nicely suited for a family of 6 and an infant. Our family truly enjoyed our 7 day vacation here. There were a few issues that were maintenance/comfort/appliance oriented; we connected with the host team who adequately addressed the most pressing items. A few thoughts for future renters; there is a loft bedroom shown with a spiral staircase to access it. We didn't realize this sits INSIDE the primary suite, i.e. no true privacy if the loft is occupied. Wasn't an issue for us as we had plenty of bedrooms for group. Shades for the skylights would be helpful. And, having a manual that described things like the HVAC system and other appliances and sections of the house would be a good addition. Finally, we didn't realize this house is actually a very large, well constructed log cabin! It adds to the charm.

Thank you so much for such a detailed and thoughtful review! We're thrilled that the spectacular views from nearly every room and the secluded setting made your family's seven-day getaway so special, and that the generous floor plan suited your group so well. We appreciate you connecting with our team on the items that came up, and we're glad the most pressing ones were handled during your stay. Your notes for future guests — from the loft layout to skylight shades and a helpful house manual — are genuinely useful, and we've passed them along to our team. It sounds like the log cabin charm was a lovely surprise to top it off! We'd love to welcome your family back anytime — thank you again for staying with us!

We loved staying at this house. It was the perfect location for 4 families to get some quality time in the mountains. So clean and had everything we needed. Check in and out were easy as can be.

What a special way to spend time together—four families making memories in the mountains! We're so glad the house gave you the space and quality time you were after, and that it was spotless and stocked with everything you needed. Easy check-in and check-out are always the cherry on top. We'd love to welcome your crew back for another mountain getaway anytime!
