Perfect Gunstock getaway

This house is the perfect location for a trip to Gunstock. It’s only 5 minutes to the mtn. The house is cozy and sleeps a crowd. I rented with my friend and both of our kids (6 kids total). They have plenty of the essentials but we especially enjoyed the games, smart tvs, coffee/espresso machines. All clean linens were provided and the bathrooms were tidy. I would definitely book this house again.

Enjoyable and Affordable Stay

My friends and I had an awesome experience at this property. The house was clean and spacious, the check in and check out instructions were clearly communicated and easy to follow, and the hosts were very responsive. One day we had an issue with the wifi and they called us to help pretty much right after I sent them a message. Also, the fire pit in the yard was a huge plus, our group enjoyed spending time out there. I would recommend this property to anyone visiting the surrounding area.

Perfect ski week!

I'm so happy I rented this house for the perfect ski week at gunstock. I loved that this house was extremely clean. I'm a maniac and as soon as I get somewhere I pull back all the sheets on every single bed. Every mattress was immaculate, plus had a cover. The sheets were all white which which I like, along with the duvet cover and pillowcases. This really felt more like hotel bedding than someone's personal sheets which I truly appreciate. The kitchen was also spotless and the fridge/freezer was completely spotless which I really prefer, I don't need someone's old condiments. That said the kitchen was extremely well stocked with every pot/pan you could think of. We cooked every single meal here including lunch so I really took advantage. We skied for the week at Gunstock and the weather wasn't great but I was so happy that we were only SIX minutes from the mountain; we were able to pop home for lunch every day and dry off our ski clothing in the utterly cavernous washer/dryer, which was amazing. Every room had its own thermostat; the heating worked great! I had a question for the host during our stay -- I could have texted but I emailed and she replied almost immediately. All in all I highly recommend this house -- If we go back to gunstock I won't stay anywhere else! What a find!

About the host

Hosted by Francis Madden

We purchased this property as a place to spend time off from work in the city. We love traveling and going on adventures. The environment is quiet and tranquil, a perfect respite for a quick weekend away.

Why they chose this property

We immediately knew this was the perfect house for us. We love the chalet style and the wood beam ceilings are our favorite feature as it brings so much character and warmth to the home. And the location is perfect for year round enjoyment as we love to go out on the lake as well as snowboard/ski.
