10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property, location, well furnished, and clean. Great amenities!"

Heavenly Mountain Gem - Pets, Hot Tub

10/10 Excellent

"We booked this property last minute. Only our fifth VRBO. This property was better than our other four. We didn't use the hot tub or the barbecue but the place was spotless. Really spotless. We had one question and they had an answer for us within maybe 20 minutes? They also checked in via email to see if we had any questions after our first night. We spent 6 nights. Location was excellent for skiers and gamblers. The owners treat the house as if they were living there. My wife used well-stocked as her review. I have covered the rest. We got lucky based upon our other four experiences. I can't think of a reason we wouldn't use it again if we need another six days in South Shore."
