If you want an affordable, comfortable, fun filled vacation we are your place!!
if you are looking for posh, elegant, pristine ski out chalet- Start looking in the 2500.00- 3000.00 price range.
Full Disclosure!! some not so great, but upfront draw back features of the property.

In very cold weather, sub freezing, the kitchen water supply may freeze, You can still get water from bathrooms and utility room for dish washing and cooking. hopefully Fixed!
3. Upon your arrival you may find dormant flies and lady bugs around windows. this is a common occurrence in eville rural areas. The house is clean! they just find there way in and then go dormant. they should be vacuumed before you unpack if they are present. a hand vac and normal vac are provided.

4. We have well water, which has a sulfur odor. it is clean, and inspected, and full of great minerals. we do offer a water cooler for drinking and cooking.

AWFUL~AWFUL~ AWFUL
Let me start with WE DIDN’T even stay at the property as it “dead bug” infested!!! The fact that this house is even listed on VRBO is shameful. We booked to stay in February for a fun ski weekend with our kids and it was not CLEAN. We have pictures to prove that there is NO WAY that this owner had been at the house to clean it before we arrived which is unacceptable (ie. Expired milk in refrigerator, ashes near the fireplace, and ALOT of Dead flies and all other sorts of bugs were on the stove, window sills, bathroom and floor, even more disgusting was a used bar of soap in the shower) Never have I ever reserved or tried to stay at a VRBO location that didn’t live up to what we expected!

Roomy Ski Getaway
This lovely two-story farmhouse, which is currently in the process of renovation was ideal for our weekend stay for a ski getaway. It is just minutes from the slopes and was very comfortable. VRBO has this listed as a pet friendly property, but the rental rules and agreement say that pets are not permitted. We were traveling with our small cockapoo, so if you're looking for a pet-friendly unit, you should probably clarify this with the owner. Great location! Great value!

Not worth the money
Sulfur smell from well water was horrible, house was close to the road and we could hear every vehicle as it was nearing and passed the house.

Perfect for skiing Holiday Valley/Holimont
We had an excellent 4 nights while skiing Holiday Valley and Holimont. It’s a short drive to the slopes and a wonderful haven away from the hustle and bustle. The water does have a sulphur smell which was similar to rural properties I’ve spent time on but there was a large cooler of spring water provided. It’s a perfect hot-tub-time-machine experience, with both new flat screen tv’s but also a tape deck and VHS tapes available. It is close to the road so there is some road noise. But it was clean and comfortable and perfect for a quick ski weekend with the family. Probably not great for super young ones (stairs, etc) but very comfortable for us 2 adults and 3 8-12 year olds.
