Look elsewhere
So was planning a weekend at Stowe, so I booked this property, was simply looking for 4 walls a roof and 2 beds. Expectations were set fairly low on what I was looking for, really just needed a crash pad. Showed up, futon (one of the beds I was looking for) was broken so I informed the host the following morning as we arrived late that night. I had to sleep on the floor due to this issue. I provided them photos of what I was dealing with as well as gave them permission to enter the property at anytime. To resolve this issue. They assured me this issue would be fixed promptly, that was not what happened. I ended up sleeping on the floor for the next 2 nights before someone showed up to “fix the issue.” Someone simply sawed the legs of the futon and made it into a box spring lol. I really wasn’t expecting much here but cmon. After we had left I tried to file for a refund in which they have only supplied me a “cleaning fee” refund of not even one night of my stay. Unfortunately this property seems to be owned by a greedy property management company that wants to take your money and run. Other issues with this place is that at night it sounds like there is critters in the walls and we did find a pile of rat droppings in the living room. Guess the cleaning fee was really put to good use! I really gave this owner several chances to redeem themselves so I would not have to leave a 1 star review however it does not seem like they care once so ever.

Daniel, we are disheartened to read that you experienced issues that kept you from enjoying your stay. We regret that our team did not know that there was an issue with the futon before you checked in and apologize for the inconvenience. Additionally, we are sorry for the cleanliness details that were missed and hope that the compensation you received helped alleviate some of your frustration. Our local manager assured us that the home is regularly treated for pest control and a new futon has been ordered. We hope to better impress you in the future.

Close to Stowe, quiet property
Overall we had a good time! We used this property as solely a place to sleep and didn’t spend much time there but it was exactly as described. We would stay here again as a bargain location with a comfy bed.

As Advertised
First off, we were quite pleased with the accommodations after some concern after reading previous reviews. The unit does came as advertised; a small but very functional and clean apartment with a comfortable bed which was perfect for just my wife and I. While the temperatures did reach 80 degrees after days of rain in Stowe, the unit was very comfortable especially with the supplied floor fans. The shower does have a large step up to get in and out but we had no problems with architectural feature; we actually embraced its uniqueness. The place is close to town; restaurants, bars, groceries, and shopping. We recommend this unit for a no frills stay especially if you are going to out and about enjoying what the area has to offer.

OK for the money
We entered & were greeted by a musty smell that was easily rectified by opening the windows. Overall a the property served our needs for our stay. A few things distracted us. 1 - The shower has a big step up so it was a bit wonky trying to get out. Some traction stickers would be a great safety measure. 2 - the TV needs an Internet connection to work & the router was down. There were no real instructions how to fix it. We eventually contacted the local office & Chris was a huge help but even after connecting to an alternate router the TV was basically out of commission for our stay. Other than those 2 issues it was a good rent. Comfortable bed, OK kitchen, easy access to the mtn road. We would stay there again as long as the TV works.

Nice place, well situated
The home was perfect for us, secluded and close from a lot of wonderful hike trails and waterfalls! Also close from nice restaurants and the town of Stowe.

It was a hassle getting it a reminder for future renters to watch a YouTube video if you haven’t had experience with a smart lock. & Wifi was troubles connecting had to put off work till the next day to get any Wifi at all in the unit. First night there no Wifi.

Perfect Disc Golf Getaway
The property was the perfect size for myself, partner, and small dog. To our surprise the property was set back away from the road and felt very secluded, which provided a nice amount of privacy. The property is conveniently located so that you can get to downtown or any trails within twenty minutes. What the property lacks in shower pressure, hot water (this takes a painfully long time), and parking during the autumn (our car ended up with a few dents from whatever was falling from tree above our designated parking spot); it makes up with extra linens and a very comfortable bed.

Close & comfortable
Super close to little town of Stowe and a lot of hiking trails! Bathroom is a bit small and could be updated but living room and kitchen is nice. Good amount of space for a cozy weeklong getaway for two.

Some concerns..
Excellent location of unit.. however carpet needed deep cleaning and there were no dish towels in the kitchen... Would have liked to be told that unit was in a building with 3 other units. Did not see ANY working smoke detectors or CO2 detectors onsite.

Nice place, but...
The overall place was nice, clean, and pretty much as pictured, however the bathroom was a problem. There is a huge step out of the extreme water saver shower. It is very tricky to get in and out of. It is a good place otherwise with a fantastic view.

good base for skiing at Stowe
This is a clean and comfortable apartment with everything as advertised. It is a good base for one person or a couple for skiing at Stowe (<10 min drive) or other outdoor activities.
