Cozy Log Cabin, a 5 minutos da Vila Stowe

Perfect retreat!

This cabin was close to everything we wanted to see and do. As far as the inside of the cabin it was really quaint. Kitchen had all we needed. The upstairs living room was very comfy. The bathroom upstairs has a jetted tub on a platform. Could be a fall risk if not careful. Only one TV in cabin. Located in basement living area. Listing indicated tv but did not specify that you needed your OWN streaming service to use it. Owner does not have cable for guests. Got that info in welcome email after booking. Because we don’t have streaming we had no tv for week. Not even local channels using antenna. We had a great week exploring the area. The leaf colors were amazing!

Perfect little cabin in quiet but convenient location.

As with anything there's good and bad about this property. The good was location -- midway between Stowe (with its tourist focused opportunities) and Morrisville (which is more of a locals place, where we spent a lot of time). The property is off the highway. So there was no road noise; although the neighbor pulling the kids around on a small tractor was kind of annoying. The house itself was okay. The bedrooms were well sized. And the kitchen appliances were practically brand new. There also wasn't an overabundance of chotchkas, which, after out last VRBO experience, can be kind of annoying. Now for the problems, and why we won't be returning. There are a number of fundamental hazards in the house. The second floor bathroom has a whirlpool tub, which in theory sounds great, but it's installed on a platform presumably to accomodate the additional plumbing. When you add the high sides of a whirlpool tub with another half foot or so, it makes getting in and out to take a shower very difficult. Add to that tthe lack of grab bars, and it becomes downright dangerous. Also many of the electric outlets in the house are worn to the point where plugs don't fit snugly. This might explain why some people complained that lights didn't work. Finally, there is a giant hole in the wall behind the bed of the 2nd floor bedroom. I'd estimate that it is about 4' by 4'. While not a hazard, it is really creepy.

I want to begin by saying we had a wonderful time in Stowe. The property is on a beautiful piece of property. We were visited on 2 occasions by a bear and her 2 cubs.The location of the property was excellent, however the condition of the property was not as expected. We have been renting properties with VRBO for years. This experience was very disappointing. When we arrived it was very hot & humid (90 degrees) with several windows missing screens in the main living area. Also the ceiling fans in 2 of the bedrooms are very loud and unable to be used. I contacted the rental office about some of the issues we noticed upon arrival. These issues were resolved. There were light bulbs missing in the kitchen and downstairs bathroom, they were replaced that day. There were only 2 chairs for outdoor seating (one was broken). The next day 4 chairs were delivered. These issues were not resolved. The ice dispenser was clogged, dumping ice all over the floor when we attempted to get ice. We were able to resolve this ourselves. The appliance bulb in the refrigerator was burnt out, we had to use a flashlight to find items in the refrigerator during our entire stay. Missing screens and noisy ceiling fans These issues became apparent during the week and we didn’t communicate to the rental office. The clothes dryer was not working. The gas grill hasn’t been cleaned in quite some time. It was covered with pollen & a thick layer of grease. The hand soap pumps in the 2 bathrooms and kitchen were nearly empty. There was only one trash bag provided. The wall clock in the living room is broken, we tried a new battery & it’s still not working. I have shared this with the rental company managing the property directly, I haven’t received received any response.
