The location of the home and the home itself were great. We loved the space in the bedrooms and bathrooms. Kitchen was pretty well stocked. Could use some more bowls as there were only a few and they were tiny. Lock box was easy to find and get inside. We had made note of the code so we had it before we arrived. It didn’t occur to us to screen shot all of the instructions and home rules before hand though and upon arrival had no cell service and couldn’t get on the WiFi to see anything. There was no printed guest book, WiFi code or house rules anywhere in the home. We would’ve appreciated that. A good cleaning before our arrival would have been nice too. Everything was dusty, gnat covered and the upstairs had an odor of what I could best describe as cat litter or mildew. A-lot of the dishes were dirty too. There was also an uncovered junction box near the kitchen table and AC is only available in the main bedroom too.

Great, private, and quiet home. Driving to/from Killington was easy considering you can park at Skyship and avoid access road traffic. Not the best location if you want to go out at night but we were happy to just cook and relax post-skiing, and the house was perfect for that!

Wonderful Location, Unbeatable Comfort, but Kitchen Needs Attention ​We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, largely due to two major factors: the perfect location and the incredibly comfortable beds. Seriously, we slept wonderfully every night—it was a true highlight! Being situated right where we needed to be made our entire trip seamless and highly enjoyable. ​However, the experience in the kitchen was quite disappointing and significantly impacted our ability to cook. We were surprised to find dirty dishes put away in the cupboards, requiring us to re-wash everything before use. Furthermore, essential cooking tools like oven mitts, a whisk, and trivets were completely missing, making simple meal preparation frustrating and difficult. A lack of basic paper products also meant an immediate supply run was necessary. ​If the host addresses the cleanliness and stocks the kitchen with necessary utensils, this property would easily earn five stars.
