Perfect for our needs. Lots of space and fun things to do. Seemed like every bedroom had a private bathroom.

This house was very dirty!! Lots of space and a bathroom in every room which was great but the mice were everywhere! Dead & alive. We found dead mice in the cabinets in the kitchen as well as live mice running across the floor. We bought food to cook since we can’t go out to eat because of COVID. We were not able to cook it because of how dirty the house was. A mouse chewed one of my friends towels. The owner claimed the house cleaners vacuum was broken at the time. VRBO refuses to do anything because we stayed the weekend and didn’t leave. We drove 4 hours away and not much around with 20 people so we didn’t have a choice but to stay. Mold was everywhere! Don’t recommend staying here especially if you have children.

The check-in process wasn't easy. The property manager doesn't check VRBO so none of my messages were answered. No information on check-in was provided. I had to contact VRBO customer support to get the property manager's phone number so I could contact her. She didn't seem happy that I called her. Also, if I hadn’t called her – I wouldn’t had known that we needed to provide our own bedsheets, towels, and linens… Upon checking in on Friday, we discovered that were tons of trash bags left outside the front door from previous guests- like over 20 bags of trash and boxes and boxes of pizza and budlight. Animals had gotten into them, and there were food and trash everywhere. She had asked my friends to help clean up the mess with their bare hands... and asked to use our trash bags that we brought up ourselves. So we didn't have enough, and she only supplied us with one more trash bag for the weekend (we were a group of 15!) I had informed her via VRBO about having a pet, but since she never checked it – she was surprised we had a dog with us. She required us to pay the pet fee and wouldn’t leave until we handed it over. The house was the perfect size, with a bathroom for each bedroom - and the common areas were great to gather as a group. But the couches were dirty and worn out. One of the chairs at the dining table was broken and had a dangerously sharp piece of wood hanging off. You could tell the kitchen and bathrooms weren’t cleaned very well, and we were glad that we thought to bring Clorox wipes. Many of the bathrooms didn’t have hand soap. The dishwasher didn’t work. Indoor pool was great to have, but there was black mold everywhere downstairs from the humidity. Some of the rooms had broken heating. The quilts and blankets don’t get washed between guests… owner had asked us to make the beds before we left. On Saturday, she surprised everyone when she suddenly stopped by to finish cleaning up after the last group as we were having lunch. She felt it was necessary to walk through the house and into each of the bedrooms on the main floor without informing us. Then she told she'd unfortunately have to charge us extra for electricity if we kept the lights on. Property owner seemed to be trying to do her best, but this place should either have a professional cleaning service between each stay (especially during a pandemic) or not have been rented out if it isn’t maintained well.

We booked the house weeks in advance, recieved a reservation confirmation with VRBO, but the owner would not give check in info. Tried one week out, one day before our stay and the day of. Nothing....had to call VRBO customer service, was told owner had a stroke at first, then was told it was double booked with a diff site. We had our bags packed and no where to stay. This should have never happened!! The owners had weeks to notified us of the booking mistake when we first booked. We were also disconnected twice while on hold with customer service. Spent over 2 hours on the phone the day of our stay to find out that we could not stay. Don't know the truth about this booking mistake, hope the owner is ok but will never go this route again!

The house is HUGE and has enough room for 22 people. But here are some of the issues: The kitchen was NOT clean, there were rat droppings at multiple places in the kitchen. The owner said she cleaned the place herself, but the place is too large for a single person to clean effectively. The microwave had a large visible crack in the glass door. The fridge was functional. The owner could not figure out why the dishwasher wasn't working. The owner doesn't really communicate with VRBO so didn't really know anything about our reservation. She was our key contact & she was not able to resolve most of our issues promptly. I got the feeling that the owner was trying her best, but she should not have rented this place in the current condition.

This home was absolutely jaw dropping as soon as you go in.... if you’re going with a big group consider this!!

A huge building that was PERFECT for a family gathering. It had nine bedrooms and 10 bathrooms. Every bedroom had it's own bathroom. We were there for our family Christmas. The young kids loved the built-in pool and the adults loved the sauna and jacuzzi. The owner took ill just before we arrived, but his friends and staff were there to meet us and stopped by every day to make sure our stay was perfect...and it was. Great kitchen to cook and plenty of space throughout for everyone. They even set up a Christmas Tree for us. Some of our group went tubing others skiied. Just taking a walk was beautiful. All couldn't have been more perfect. Thank you Rick and Shelby!

Great place to gather with a huge dining table, indoor pool and fun game room. Very dated features that need updating. Great that each room has a bathroom. Too many small, uncomfortable beds and mold throughout house. Jack was very nice and accommodating. Great house other than a few things that need work.

House was large and comfortable, with a wonderful backyard. The indoor pool was a bonus and delighted kids and adults alike. Close to Mt Snow and the wonders of Southern VT. There's only one fridge, so if you have a very large group staying for more than a couple days, you'll need to bring coolers. I definitely recommend Jack's place!

Jack was a delight to work with. He communicates very well and gave us all of the information we needed to know ahead of time. The house was fantastic. We had 10 adults and 10 kids ages 3-8. The amenities on the house were great, it was close to the mountain, and the house is in great condition. The adults were able to enjoy themselves in the evening without disturbing the kids which was a huge plus. We will definitely rent this house again.

We were upgraded last minute from the Brown House to the Blue House. We were skeptical at first, but we really enjoyed the house. The house is very large and clean - not really modern - more like a hunting lodge. It is split into two wings, so we had adults on one half and kids on the other. We had 20 people stay and had plenty of room for everyone to sleep! There were lots of living areas for people to relax and hang out. We had plenty to do - played pool, ping pong, shuffleboard, swam, relaxed in hot tub and sauna. In addition, Jack helped us get a great deal on ski tickets at Mount Snow which was only 5 minutes from the house. The maintenance man came every day to keep the coal stove burning. It was a little strange, but he was polite and not intrusive in any way.

Our large group stayed at the Brown house over Labor Day weekend and had a blast!!! We have been going on a Labor Day trip for the past five years and this has been our favorite house. Each room has their own bathroom and there is so much stuff to do, you don’t even have to leave the house. There is an indoor pool, hot tub, shuffle board, ping pong, fire pit, the list goes on and on. The house is a bit on the rustic side with lots of wooden built ins. It has a very homey feel. Each room has plenty of storage space for luggage. Lastly, Jack, the owner is a bit on the old fashion side. He gives you a personal tour and shows you how everything works. I book a lot of homeaways and he’s the first owner I’ve met! It was nice to put a face to a voice! If you’re looking for a home for a large group book this house or any of Jacks properties!!!

The property was fantastic! We we’re upgraded from the Brown house to the Blue house and had a great time enjoying all of the amenities! We were there for a college reunion, and we Had a great time playing paintball at Adams Farm nearby, cooking in the kitchen and industrial sized grill and swimming in the pool. Jack Ridgway was a great host and we’re definitely going to come back when we have another reunion.

The house was great and more than we could ask for. The pool was clean, the kitchen had everything you could need and there was plenty of room for everyone. The owner Jack was pleasant to work with and very accommodating. The location of the house was also very convenient. The last chair is within eyesight of the house and is a pretty good spot for food and drinks. Overall it was a great experience everyone was happy.
