Loved the house. The dishwasher was gross. We tried to clean it but there was stagnant water and old food chunks in the drain catcher so we hand washed everything.

Lovely home to enjoy your downtime after a day of skiing! Super well-equipped kitchen, lots of lounging space, complete with gas stove. Also spacious upstairs in bedrooms and well-appointed baths. Would definitely stay there again.

2/10 Terrible

Disliked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy
I must in good conscience warn others, stay away! This was an awful experience. We stayed only one night because at that hour, we had no where else to go. First and most importantly, there was no mention in the property listing that there was no toilet on the main first floor! One has to go up steep stairs to the bathroom every time and we are 57 and 73 yrs old. Just no. The layout and design is strange and not in a good way. I have stayed in 'old' houses before that were exquisitely restored (such as Versacce Mansion) - this is not that. This is just old and worn and not in a good way. Don't believe the pics. There is grime and dirtiness just in the kitchen cabinet, kitchen cupboard door that is half off a hinge. Grime around the wall surrounding the light switch plate. The landscaping of the front was atrocious to be paying that . Vines were overgrowing the pathway and on the main entrance. Not at all the pretty garden in the pic. Even for fall. You loose cell service ten minutes away from the house, driving in forest and have to rely on internet at the house. This was not disclosed and we were not prepared to for it.I hate to write bad reviews but DO NOT WASTE your hard earned money thinking this would be special. I don't know how there are good reviews. Maybe a family where everyone just chipped in 100 but not for a couple hoping for 'chic old'. This property should be reassessed by the Vrbo team. It is a shame to take from people for this. It is deceptive.

Great Getaway

The house was beautiful and very comfortable. A wonderful getaway for us. It had the perfect blend of charm and modern amenities we were looking for. Elizabeth was very responsive with questions I had before arrival. The information packet provided was so well put together we were well informed on how to operate the AC, kitchen appliances etc as well as great recommendations of sites and restaurants in the area. That was very much appreciated. Thank you Elizabeth and Sina for being such great hosts!

Disliked: Check-in, communication
The house looked as advertised and overall was clean. Unfortunately communication was poor before and throughout our stay. We arrived at 4 and were told we needed to come back in an hour or 2. There were not enough towels, no paper towels and only 1 roll of toilet paper. The house was chilly and never came above 65 degrees. we were unable to use one shower due to no hot water. The issues were communicated and no effective solutions were presented. Overall very disappointed with the house and amenities.

Charming and Unique

The home is charming and unique. Very tastefully built, especially if you enjoy homes with historical architecture and antiques! Unique fun artwork throughout the home. Large rooms and big kitchen! We stayed in the king size sleigh bed and it was super comfy!!!! The heated tile floor in the bathroom was fantastic as well as the antique soak tub! Both showers are huge walk in showers and always plenty of hot water!!! We would definitely stay here again! Only downside we had was while we visited in February to ski Jay Peak, we had a few days of spring thaw (50+ degrees) and West Hill Road became very soft and muddy. But hey, that’s to be expected in Vermont! As I said, we would definitely stay here again!

Definitely coming back!

Great house! Perfect for me and my family. The house is beautifully decorated and the hosts really pay very close attention to detail. It was a short drive to Jay Peak with many restaurants nearby. They provided everything we could have needed and more. Will definitely be back!
