We had a good vacation in this Manson rental. The house is spacious, works well for multi generational family group. Kitchen is very well stocked, but bring your paper towels and TP you will need it. The pool bath is a wonderful convenience to have right outside the pool. The pool is fantastic, fully fenced and safe for little children. Checking in and out was a breeze. Ample parking in driveway. If you don’t do stairs this would be a draw back for some. Washer and dryer work well, detergent provide. Loved the deck area and nicely shaded, flowers on the deck were a nice touch also. Big yard for kids to run and play and a safe place to ride bikes. There is also a small basket ball court.
Things to be aware of:
The cooktop has elements that don’t work or don’t work properly. That was noted from another review a year ago. The management said it would be fixed then but is still not fixed.
The fridge door is broken so you need to take care closing the door, the inside crisper drawers have been repaired in a incomplete manner. One drawer is difficult to use the other we didn’t use.
The dishwasher works good, but be very careful when opening the door, the spring for the door is broken so the door falls to the floor. It is not safe when you are not aware of it but if a child opened it they would be hurt. So please be careful!
The mattress downstairs are not comfortable and some pillows are stained, you might want to take your own pillows.
When we arrived the freezer in the frigid downstairs was so full of frost the door would not close. We took it outside to defrost, wiped it out reinstalled and it worked fine the rest of our stay.
Take care when you walk around the deck, and ground floor patio one of our group stepped on a rusty tack. We found multiple nails and screws, so be careful with your children walking around the property.
Bring your own pool umbrellas there are none. The pool has no shade. The temperature control on the hot tub would not work so the hot tub was 105, very hot. The gas fire pit is inoperable so don’t count that as one of the amenities.
In the rental agreement Vacasa states you are renting the property as is. For me it would have been nice to know these issues upfront, but that’s what reviews are for, right.
I hope this helps the next guests prepared to rent this Chelan home in the future.
