TOP OF the WORLD overlooking Stowe, Tesla charger

A beautiful view great room with amazing views! One major issue was day before I was heading up, owner reached out to confirm amount of people….the ad says sleeps up to 17 - so when I had only 12, I thought, no problem! However, because in my initial request I put 8 people months prior, he charged me 100 extra for each additional person! Because the vacation started the next day, I really had no choice but to pay. In all my years renting on VRBO, I’ve never had to pay extra for people, so long as I don’t go over the limit on the ad! Buyer beware! A few things could be added in kitchen to make it more rental friendly - it’s pretty sparse in glass ware, etc. also, road leading up to house is a challenge in bad weather…we left in a snow storm and roads were not treated. Garbage was major issue on arrival….dozen or so old garbage bags in garage. Owner did have someone come clear it out once I let him know. Also, kids bedrooms were smaller than pictures reveal. Tight for teenagers, fine for toddlers.

We had such a great time staying at this property! Close to town and not too far from the mountain. The dogs loved how big and remote the property was and the view was incredible. The house was way better than some of the pictures posted. Michael was a great host and responded very fast. We would definitely stay here again!

Listed as top of the world, felt like the BOTTOM. Please be sure to list, take pictures & send to host EVERY problem you find or you will be blamed & charged for it. The house is huge, beautiful & has so much potential but is completely outdated & not kept up when things break, which we thought this host would be aware of since he owns the house. The listing is NOT updated, the pictures must be from years ago. False advertising all around. The amazing jacuzzi in the master bath did not even turn on, the dishwasher did not work, the handle on the kitchen sink was so wiggly you couldn’t turn it on & off (WE TIGHTENED IT FOR THE HOST), the door to the outside didn’t lock, there were beat up walls everywhere (we got blamed for KIDS handprints & the hot tub being left dirty from kids being in it, we did NOT travel with KIDS, our group was only adults) there are burn holes in the worn down couch, missing lamp shades, the blind in the master bedroom was hanging off on one side when we arrived & WE got charged for this “broken” blind when the host told us he slid it back on the track & it was fixed easily this way & would return our money if that was the case, NO money returned & again he said it was from a KID pulling on it. We were told we lost a strap on the hot tub that was NEVER there when we arrived & that we did not leave furniture as it was when we spent all morning cleaning the house to leave it JUST as we found it like we were told to do in the threatening LONG message we received from the host before our stay. That’s not all, we knew a snow storm was coming, asked the host about plowing, he did not tell us where to move our cars, just plowed us in & angrily told us we should have gotten up early to move our cars. Lastly, the cherry on top was that the house was absolutely infested with Japanese lady bugs. We were going to bring our dogs, good thing we did not because these are poisonous to animals! We did not complain once to this host, but now we know that we should have contacted him with EVERY single thing to prevent him wrongly blaming & charging us in the end. VERY unhappy.
