Overall a great spot for a family vacation - awesome location, close to everything we wanted to do, great for kids, plenty of space for 7 of us. The place in general felt a little unlcean - floors were dirty, needed to be vacuumed, rugs and carpets needed a deep cleaning or just need to be replaced completely. The lower level was very musty and damp. We had to run a dehumidifier the whole time which helped. Had issues getting into the cabin upon arrival. The code didnt work but was quickly resolved by the host. The hot tub was not working properly - only half the jets worked but we still made use of it. Overall, I'd recommend the place, but for the price we paid, we were a bit disappointed that some things weren't up to the standards that it should have been.

We had a very smooth stay for a ski weekend at Wisp. The house was clean, comfortable, and well stocked. The location was perfect for access to Wisp, grocery stores, and restaurants. It also had a lot of fun games stocked for kids. Great for a weekend away with friends and early elementary school kids. We had a minor issue getting into the house at check in but the property manger was really responsive and we were able to resolve it quickly. We would stay again!

This beautiful home in a wooded setting provided the space for 6 of us to enjoy each others company and yet have time alone. Son and wife, daughter and husband (visiting from New Zealand, and us older parents all played pool, enjoyed the hot tub, took long walks, cooked for each other in a spacious kitchen, and ate out locally. We also enjoyed a local hard cidery, fall festival and antique shop. Gas fireplaces on two floors, 3 bathrooms, and a cafe nook, kept things carefree and easy going. A short walk to Shop N Save made food runs easy and convenient. Will book this home again, with pleasure.

Relatively private location so things were nice and quiet. No bears, but plenty of rabbits and deer made wildlife watching entertaining. The house is beautiful and well kept. It was clean and had everything we needed to cook a few meals inside and outside on the grill. I had to clean the grill before use and it seems to have an issue with gas flow to the back of the burners but we made due and everything came out OK. As other reviews pointed out, the door locks to the decks are a bit tricky to lock, but it's not that big of a deal. We didn't use the TV's or stereo much but everything seemed in good working order. WIFI was useable throughout the house so anyone glued to their phones will be pleased. Hot water and good pressure were readily available as long as everyone didn't decide to shower or wash clothes at the same time. The beds were OK, some more comfortable than others. The sofa proved to be a better option for a couple of family members. The pool table was a nice touch, even for those of us that are novice at best. The hot tub was used by the younger adults except for the first night when the water temperature wasn't in the acceptable range. The fire pit was nice although a chair or two were unusable. Plenty of room for the family to gather around. We brought firewood from home and left a few behind for the next visitor. Although the house is not lakeside, it is within walking distance of several shops. Grounds crew came and trimmed the lawn while we were there. They were very friendly and respectful. Check-In and Check-Out were private and painless.

A nice cabin in a quiet location. Be aware that late March/early April can have dicey weather (6 inches of snow and 17 degrees on arrival, 70 and sunny mid-week, thunderstorms and more snow end of visit)!
Despite Vacasa's written assurance that all listed amenities were on good working condition, the hot tub did not work and the gas grill burners were clogged and not usable. Note: Vacasa was aware of the hot tub issue since the tech they sent when we reported the problem said a new control pad was already ordered.
Overall we had an enjoyable 5-night family reunion, but will not likely visit this location again.
