Perfect location but needs some improvement
My family and i stayed at the moretown home over mlk weekend. When we arrived around 3:20pm, we discoved that there was no heat on in the home and it was very cold inside. We searched around a bit to see if we could rectify the situation ourselves. With no luck, we called the vacasa number provided. I spoke to the customer service rep who basically just took my message. He said someone would be in contact with me shortly. After about a half an hour or so with no call back, i called again. Same thing where the rep just took my message. We were basically stuck waiting (in the cold) for someone to call back. We couldn't leave the property. Finally, about 5:15pm, we got a call back from who i can guess was the property manager. He instructed us to go in the basement. We didn't think we would have access to the basement since the door to it had a coded lock. But we tried the doorknob and, luckily, it opened. After being on the phone with him for about 10 mins or so, he helped us figure out what the problem was and we were able to turn the heat on. Apparently someone had turned off the main switch to the furnace system which was high above the staircase to the basement (not near the actual furnace at all). We were not very happy that this delayed the start of our vacation. I also noticed that there was a pack of cigarettes left on one of book shelves. I felt this was incredibly inappropriate since we had our children with us. Also, i thought this was a smoke free rental... In addit

Great house but needs to be clean and ready for arrival
I booked this place for 4 nights for a family of 6 plus two dogs. We arrived later in the evening and the house was not at all easy to find. My suggestion would be to put up reflective numbers on the mailbox as a start. The driveway and the walkway to the front door were covered in ice. As this is a safety hazard, especially at night, I’d imagine this should’ve been taken care of prior to our arrival. When we entered the home, both smoke detectors were going off. The one on the main floor and one on the second floor. Luckily the one on the main floor was at a reachable height. The other was not. This was when our family had the pleasure of meeting the homeowner. I’d like to preface that there are two entities involved. The homeowner, who lives next door, and Vacasa who is the property management agency. The issues we have has nothing to do with the homeowner, but instead with Vacasa. The homeowner provided us with a ladder to shut off the smoke detector. After finally shutting down the smoke detectors, my family did an initial sweep of the house and there were a few major issues that left us pretty disappointed. One of the more major issues was that we found mouse droppings all over the kitchen as well as the utensil drawers. In addition, there were copious insects found in the bedrooms and bathroom throughout our stay, and cobwebs all over the ceilings. There was hair in the bathroom drain and no shades. Otherwise the house was very comfortable and provided a lot of ammenit

Cute Cabin in the woods
We had a very relaxing and comfortable stay in this home. It is centrally located between Stowe and Warren. We took in a couple days of skiing at nearby Sugarbush, went snow shoeing, enjoyed dinner out in Stowe, and drove to Burlington for some shopping. All of our needs at the house were provided for. Highly recommend, and we will be back! Thanks!

Beautiful location
House and beds were comfortable and well located with beautiful views. There was a dried (permanent?) stain on the stairs and some of the dishes and pots in the cabinets were dirty, though. Housekeeping had done a great job though, wouldn’t have expected them to go through every dish/pot in the cabinets. Would love to stay again

Great getaway!
We had a wonderful weekend at The Yellow House with our children and 2 dogs. The fireplace was great to come home to after a day on the slopes with all of the comforts of home. Bring pods if you’re a coffee drinker, and a hair dryer if you use one. We would definitely come back!

Fine, could be better.
Easy process to reserve, great location, and overall a comfortable house. Nice gas fireplace and comfy recliner chairs. The kitchen was not "full" as described, and with a little attention to users' needs it could be. For example, there was no vegetable peeler, cheese grater, coffee maker for more than 2 cups, or any basic spices. The beds were comfortable, and the shower was good, but the bath towels barely covered adult bodies. The jacuzzi wasn't working and we appreciate the refund on that amenity. The description should indicate that there are levels or steps within the main bathroom that need to be navigated, which is a very unusual set-up. Lastly, we didn't notice in the description that there are no laundry machines--so this may be a good thing to emphasize, along with the information for the laundromat in Waterbury.

Worked great for us, missing some typical essentials.
The space was nice, the beds were comfortable, and we all had a great time. The kitchen had salt and pepper, but was missing other essentials like cooking oil, sugar, spices, etc. The jets in the jacuzzi tub didn’t work, and even though the windows were all facing the woods, some shades or curtains would have been nice.

Great location
Overall, we enjoyed our stay here and thought the location was great - 10-15 minutes from a few small towns as well as 20-30 minutes from Stowe, Montpelier, and Burlington. While the house did have some necessary items like toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap and hand soap, it lacked that really nice homey feeling some of the other rentals I've stayed in. One negative for us was the bathroom. In order to get to the toilet, you have to walk through the shower which was often wet from use. Major design flaw. Overall, we enjoyed our time, the location and Vermont.

Nice house in a beautiful area.
We were there for a wedding at Sleepy Hollow Inn in Huntington, with events also happening in Burlington, both of which were about 40 minutes away. We also wanted to visit Stowe, and see friends in Montpelier, so the location was great. The house was comfortable (except for the futon mattress), with a nice deck where we could sit and hear a running stream. The lock box was a bit hard to get into - could use a new one. Overall, a lovely weekend.
