Overall good. Very clean, well stocked. Pros: * Bed in master bedroom was comfy * Kitchen was spacious and well stocked (thank you for the coffee and tea options!) * Living room/dining room was spacious and comfortable. Enjoyed the pamphlets left in the box in the dining room with ideas of things to do locally. * Wifi worked well * Loved the Mrs. Meyer's cleaning products (hand soap, dish soap) CONS: * The listing description does not mention that this is a second floor unit - glad my parents ended up not coming because they would not have been able to get into the unit. * Description says there is a window AC - this is very literal. There is "A" window AC which is in the laundry room and does not provide air conditioning to any of the 3 bedrooms, nor the kitchen, living room or dining room. We visited during an unusually hot spell, and only 2 windows in the unit open (two bedrooms) - so the 2 extra provided fans only blew around hot air. I did contact the owner who promptly dropped off two more area fans (now using four). To be fair, short of installing more AC units, I'm not sure what the owners could do because they have all of the windows sealed otherwise. * Beds in other 2 rooms were uncomfortable and very noisy when rolling over for 2 teenagers (this is their report so take it for what it's worth). Overall, I think this would be a great place if you're ok with a second floor unit, and it's a more reasonable temperature outside.

We stayed here for 4 nights and we're very comfortable. The kitchen is set up for use, and it is less than 500 feet to a typical Vermont country store for provisions. Very clean and everything worked well. There are stairs to get to the rooms so if stairs are hard, look closely at the picture. A great big living room and dining table. Be aware that there is only one bathroom, it wasn't a problem for us, but with the max number of people it might be. Nice place, good location, good manager.

Nice place for our weekend ski trip to Okemo. Kids enjoyed having their own rooms. The kitchen was well-stocked (thanks for the coffee and cream!) and the bathroom soaps were a welcome surprise. The house is connected to the main house and shares a wall, but no access. If arriving at night, the yellow house is the right place. Just head towards the back of the house, and you’ll be all set! Overall, the place was great. We would be delighted to stay again!
