Clean and comfortable property and is as described. Airy and pleasant main area. Many beds though the rooms are expectedly a little tight. Love the three different levels so everyone has their own space and privacy. Huge multiple TVs my kids enjoyed on the rainy day and responsive and caring hosts. Thoughtful welcome baskets that added something special to our vacation for our kids. Having access to pickleball courts, gym (sparse), heated pool and a basketball hoop was a plus.
We enjoyed the stay and will book again. There were some fairly minor but noticeable deficiencies with the Dryer not working and the spa in definite need of maintenance, lastly the heating system need more fine tuning following each guest to reestablish normal or intended settings
The host was welcoming and reached out to us before our stay to offer a late check out, which was great because we were able to get an additional morning of skiing.The place was clean, warm, and perfectly located to ski on and off Jiminy Peak. We highly recommend it and would go back next year!
Our host Michael was very responsive and helpful and even went out of his way to mail to use an item we had neglected to pack. Superior customer service!
Superb for a family get together of 9 adults and 3 children,/infants, great amenities. Wonderful welcome snacks, and even coffee provided. Great living room/dining room combo to accommodate playing charades.
Love the separation of bedrooms to accommodate Family units. Really enjoyed the stay in this beautiful home. Property manager was excellent and had perfect communication. Thanks for a great stay.
We were a group of 11 adults and a baby . It was a family outing we enjoyed the stay the house was as good as shown in the pictures. Micheal is a good host answered the phone whenever we called. It’s a beautiful place to enjoy with the family and friends would recommend to all my friends. And definitely will visit it again. Thanks Michael.
The instructions were clear. Mike was easy to talk to and very polite. He answered all questions asked. The place was clean and there were plenty of plates, pots, utensils, and cleaning agents. We enjoyed our stay and are willing to come back.

Amazing Townhome & Host
Our family had an incredible time staying at Michael's townhome. A welcome basket greeted upon arrival and a spotless, well-maintained place to stay while being away for the weekend skiing. The host was incredibly generous and communicative, which always makes the experience even better! The home could not have been lovelier. All 8 of us fit comfortably and adored the home. It is definitely a ski in/ ski out access townhome as well. This is extremely handy! Access to the community pool was a big perk for the littles as well as the hot tub on the deck. Overall, this was a great place to stay for our family and we will definitely be back!
