This house has some positives but also some drawbacks to consider before booking here.Pluses:- plenty of space - Multiple bathrooms and bedrooms so folks can spread out- Plenty of cookware - Two refrigerators and two dishwashers are great for large groups - Nice locationNegatives:- Very outdated- Many places were not clean (hot tubs, windows, bathrooms, dog hair on bedding)- two of the downstairs bedrooms only have doors with slats so you can hear absolutely everything and makes it difficult to sleep- Clogged sinks in bathrooms- Kitchen had none of the advertised cooking supplies so we had to go to the nearest store for salt, pepper, spices, oil , etc- The kitchen table only seats five. The other chairs are too tall for the table, and the leaves to extend it are broken. So no large family style meals were possible for us.- Very limited hot water, makes a large group trying to shower really challenging- There are many things “missing” in this house. Not enough extra blankets, no extra trash bags, the Roku remote was nowhere to be found. It just makes it feel like you’re trying to settle in for a nice weekend but don’t have everything you need to do so.

Perfect place for a weekend away with family for our first ski trip adventure. House was spacious, well stocked, hot tub always a plus. The shower in master bathroom was out of order and would have been nice to have a heads up, but otherwise we really enjoyed our stay.

Great for our group, no frills

Just right for our annual golf get together. Spacious main living area, plenty of seating, big TV for the Ducks game. The house is definitely dated and could use some TLC, and was lacking a few things (eg no cooking oil, no dish machine soap) but we looked past that stuff and just had a good time. The beds were comfy, hot tub was clean, and the basketball hoop was a bonus!

Golf, gaming and sun.

Great place on course with nice towels and linens. Great kitchen with everything to make meals and popcorn. The ice was cold and the water was good tasting and refreshing. One neighbor frowned upon cornhole but we had a good chuckle when she realized it was a silly game, and nothing more.

The house is large and spacious for a large group or family with lots of bed options. It was nice to have five bathrooms, though several are very tight. Downside though is only one shower per hour or so as the first person that took a shower ran out of hot water before they were complete. Booking was easy and we enjoyed our stay. Unfortunately for us there was no snow, but it allowed us to take nice walks around the neighborhood. The place was built in the 60’s and there have been very little updates or upgrades since. The fridge in the small kitchen did not work while we were there. In fairness, we did not contact the rental company to address it.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I’m glad the layout and number of beds worked well for your group and that you enjoyed your walks. I’m sorry you experienced limited hot water and that the small kitchen fridge stopped working — I’ve passed both items to our maintenance team to investigate the water heater capacity and to repair or replace the fridge. We also appreciate your note about the home’s age and will factor that into our ongoing maintenance and upgrade planning. If you’d like to share any more details, please message us through the Vrbo app. We hope to host you again.

Family Reunion Getaway

The Deer View Retreat accommodated our group well. There were some plumbing issues like shower in bedroom off small kitchen did not drain well (it took over an hour to drain), the toilet in the larger bedroom ran constantly and dishwasher in small kitchen didn’t work. The carpets were in need of shampooing (have you ever thought of hardwood or laminate flooring?). Thought you might need to know about those issues so you could have them fixed….other than those minor issues, the house was perfect for our family group and we enjoyed our stay!

Hi Tammy! Thank you for your 5-star review. We are so glad your family enjoyed their stay; however, we are sorry you encountered a few plumbing issues. Had we been notified, we would have gladly sent our maintenance team over. Each home is individually owned and decorated/furnished at the discretion of the owner, but we will share your feedback about the carpet with them and our local property team. We would also like to share that the carpets are deep cleaned several times throughout the year, but there is general wear and tear during peak season. We loved hosting your family, and hope you will return!

NO TUB FOR YOU!

Upon check in we found that the hot tub(the main reason we rented this house) was not only dirty, but half empty and leaking out the side. Called management right away, they said someone would be out that day. No one came. Emailed management early in the morning, they sent a text saying they have a maintenance tech scheduled to come out that day. We went skiing for the day and came back ready for a hot tub soak. NOPE! No one came to fix it. Again, contacted management. Now they say it will not be fixed. We still had another night to go. Emailed VRBO and management to say we would like the hot tub cleaning deposit back. Management never answered. VRBO spent 2 hrs. trying to sort it out and found they had been lied to by the management, claiming we had been informed of the hot tub not working before we checked in...that was not true. VRBO told them to make some remediation within 24hrs. SHOCKING! That didn't happen. Now VRBO says the case goes to disputes and will take a few days to sort out. We will see if we get any kind of compensation for the extra cleaning fees. Additionally, the yard was a wreck(limbs and debris everywhere) the shower near the main kitchen doesn't work AT ALL. The upstairs bedrooms were like a freezer...with no extra blankets on hand and there are smoke detectors missing. Meredith Lodging...you are unprofessional and leave much to be desired. To the owners of this house I would say...find another management company.

Great location and amenities with exceptions

The house was nice, location was great, it was well stocked and met out needs. The downside was the issue with mice having had to kill 4 and trap 2 others during the stay. Having mice run across peoples feet is never a great experience for some. Also, the septic likely needed pumped as the gray water from the laundry backed up into the kitchen sink with every load.
