Great for a group with kids (or not)
Overall this was a great place to stay. We had a group of 3 families - 6 adults and 5 kids (2-6 years old). It was a spacious place for the kids to play. I could also see this as a good place for a large family gathering. Nothing in the house is brand new or top end, but I wouldn't expect that when I was renting it. Pros: -There was a sledding hill just a short walk up the hill to a large open park area. I didn't see any sleds at the house, so plan ahead a bring your own in case. -All of the appliances worked well -The hot tub was nice and well kept. -The pool table was nice, it works and is in relatively good shape for an in home pool table, does have a slight break to it. -The ping pong table works well, but don't lean on one side as it is a little unstable. -Hot water was not an issue for us (as in other reviews). I know the house has a tankless water heater. -We brought extra towels based on previous reviews, really. Needed them for hot tub use. Cons: -Utensils. There weren't enough. I wouldn't care that much, but it was in other reviews and probably costs $10-20 to fix. We counted 7 forks. Amazon or even Goodwill? -Beds - The mattress in the master is a 10/10 firmness, hopefully they get a new one, but bring a topper if you can. -Remotes - There were 5 remotes sitting in front of the main TV, but the one that worked was in the couch cushions... -The TV in front of the PingPong table was useless. It turned on, but isn't Smart and not connected to anything.

Lots of small issues
The good: 1. Great location. Large lot next to is with snow and hill kids could sled on 2. Lots of rooms and places to sleep 3. Large dining table and lots of seating around common area The Bad: 1. Roads leading to the place are steep and icy. Was not plowed. Saw a couple cars get stuck and one slipping backwards. We were advised by a tow company that this is common occurrence on Payne st. 2. Hot water randomly turned off in upstairs common shower. Sometimes didn’t work at all. Master shower was either cold or with a small adjustment very hot. No in between. 3. Pots and pans are old and dirty 4. Fridge is on its last legs. Barely cold despite turning down to collect setting. 5. Pool table is very bad shape. Side bumpers are torn up and warped. Disappointing because it was a big reason we chose the place.

I can’t believe there are not more negative reviews…
I am shocked that there isn’t more negative reviews about this property. This house is supposed to sleep 15 people but there are only three bathrooms and most of the time only 2 of them worked. All of the beds but one feel like you are sleeping on bricks. So uncomfortable and very little bedding on each bed. The hot water tank works so poorly that most people had to take freezing cold showers in 20 degree weather. The house was not as nice as the photos, as there were damaged blinds, a hole in the couch, old shampoo bottles, etc. When we first arrived the bathroom wasn’t working, tvs wouldn’t turn on, and the smoke alarm wouldn’t stop beeping. It was a nightmare to walk into. We paid a lot of money to rent this for three nights and could have saved money and stayed at a hotel where basically needs would have been met. The property manager Alicia was very kind about the situation and even dropped off an air mattress, blankets, and wine to make up for the inconvenience. While we were happy with her going out of her way, the overall experience was not something that VRBO should allow. Owners of the homes should disclose things like a broken bathroom and bad water tank. Anyways, overall good location but would not recommend!
