Welcoming home, close to many activities but at the end of a private road. Recommend this Host and property for family getaways. Washer and dryer in unit is convenient. Clean and quiet, we attempted to re book for the following week, but was already taken. Next time.

Thanks so much for the great review, Cindy! We're so glad you enjoyed your stay and found the home welcoming. The tucked-away spot at the end of the private road is one of our favorite features too, since it gives guests that quiet getaway feel while still keeping all the local activities just a short drive away. We put a lot of care into making the space comfortable and easy to settle into, and it means a lot to hear that came through for you. We'd love to host you again any time you're back in the area, and we appreciate the recommendation more than you know. - Dave and the Simple Vacation Rentals Team

This home is perfectly located. So close to Rutland and all the shops and eateries. Communication was easy and very quick. The house was squeaky clean with plenty of space. TV has every channel you can think of. Laundry is included and the laundry soap smells great! My only minor complaints were that the bed was maybe a tiny bit too soft and the neighbors are a little closer than I expected. But neither of those things would deter me from staying here again!

The house is half way between Rutland and Killington. Very clean. Quiet neighbors. In general the house is as advertised. It needs more pots for the induction stove. Plus basics like measuring cups, spoons. Insufficient number of closet hangers for 2 people much less many more renters. Livingroom furniture was comfortable. Streaming tv only, we brought our Roku along so no issue there. The heat worked well.

The place had a funky smell to it. it smelled like someone had closed the place up for a long time and it had not been aired out. I spilled water on the floor and used a cloth to clean it up. It was not a pretty sight. The 5 second rule did not apply. I had trouble with the stove top. It started and then turned off. They said no one else reported it. We were only there for a couple of days, so I did not push the issue. The property manager said no one complained about the musty smell before. My wife mentioned when we left the washer and dryer room was full of scented candles and air deodorizers, just saying. Good location, I have not lived in VT for 30 years and forgot how dark it is, missed the road a couple of times since it was so dark, that was all on me.

Thanks for the review. Fall in Vermont can get damp, especially after heavy rain, and that can sometimes cause a musty smell when a home has been closed up for a bit. We’re speaking with our cleaners to make sure the home is aired out more often and that extra attention is given to the floors between stays. The stove is an induction cooktop, and we’ve added clearer instructions for future guests since it can take a little getting used to. Glad the location worked well for your visit back to Vermont. Hope to have you back. - Dave and the Simple Vacation Rentals Team
