Family Getaway

We had a great time in Bellaire. The property is as depicted with new floors, appliances, bathrooms.Courtney was a great host. We enjoyed games, cooking, movies and cozy fires. Shanty/Schuss has plenty of activity- we went snow tubing and had a great time. I'd definitely rent this again. Thanks Courtney!!

Wedding week

The property was exactly what we needed for our family vacation and family wedding. Everything we need was there. It was awesome to have the passes for the indoor/outdoor pool and private beach.

Great ski weekend for a group!

Overall we had a great stay for our group to enjoy a ski weekend at Schuss Mountain. The location is about an 8-10 minute drive from the resort. There was a LOT of snow this weekend which made the driveway a bit difficult to navigate even with AWD vehicles, but we contacted the owner and she sent the plow back out for us. There is room for 2 cars in the garage and 1 in the driveway but no ability to turn around with all the snow, and no street parking. The kitchen and bathrooms are beautiful and the large pantry off the kitchen was great for storing all of our food and snacks. The scenery is so pretty and I imagine is gorgeous in the summer months. Lots of places to sleep and hang out.

Conference Meetings

Very good location for the resort. House is very nice and spacious. Everything we needed was there. Connie is great to work with and very helpful. Loved watching the deer in the yard. We have the conference up there again next year and will book this same place!

Golf Trip

Stayed with a large group of 12 golfers, and the house was plenty big enough to spread out with that many. Great location for being near the golf courses, ski resorts and downtown Bellaire. There were no kids with us, but looked like plenty for kids to do at the house.

Beautiful space and tons of room!

We were in town for a wedding and this place was perfect! It's tucked in a woody, hilly neighborhood that made for great walking and provided that "get away from it all" feeling. The home is spacious and spread out, so plenty of people can stay here, yet still have space to spread out and relax. We loved that there was a basketball hoop, a spacious deck to play Corn Hole on, and enjoyed the fire pit too. We've stayed in this area before, and love the location. Would definitely stay here again!

Clean and cozy

We enjoyed our stay at the property. It was clean with lots of space for a big family vacation. We enjoyed having bonfires and cooking on the grill and relaxing on the big deck. The sunsets at the pool were beautiful. Would stay here again!

Great Summertime Getaway

Our group of three families (including 2 four year olds and a two year old) had a terrific stay. The house was very spacious, the kitchen accommodating, and the pool/private beach access was invaluable. There were plenty of toys for the little ones along with a cozy fire pit for roasting hot dogs and s’mores.

Second stay here - love this place for groups

This was our second stay at this house. It’s perfect for two families and we had so much fun skiing and being able to gather and enjoy our friends who live far away by coming together in this home. Close to the hills, shorts and downtown Bellaire. We will continue to come back!

Christmas in July

This trip was an annual July vacation we gift to our children at Christmas. This was our first time here and we all had a great time. Spent a great day on Lake Bellaire and when it rained we were able to enjoy the indoor pool at the resort. We also spent a few hrs at the resort golf and game simulator room which was enjoyed by all. Home was very clean and enjoyable. Owner was very responsive and helpful!

Annual Family Ski trip

This is a great home to stay for a ski trip. It’s close to the slopes, tubing hill and the town of Bellaire. This home has a great kitchen/dinning area, family room on both floors and a great kids play area on the third floor. I highly recommend this house for families! Thank-you Courtney!

Relaxing stay

The house was large and had a nice layout for our group of 3 families, each getting their own space. The location was nice and the access to the pools and private beach on Lake Bellaire were definitely a special part of the rental. We didn’t make too much use of the playroom upstairs because it was a little musty but would probably be nice in the winter months. Overall, we enjoyed our stay!

The perfect spot!

Courtney was so easy to communicate with and very quick to respond to any questions or messages I had sent to her. The home was perfect for our needs. We had a group of 9 and it accommodated us well! Close to everything you could need including indoor pools and downtown Bellaire for dinner and drinks!

Perfect for larger groups!

Our two families stayed here for a ski weekend and enjoyed ourselves so much. There are plenty of rooms and bathrooms for lots of privacy but also a big kitchen and living room for gathering. The host provided wood for the fireplace (we donated to the voluntary donation box for the wood) and the house has everything you need. We also had access to two different indoor hot tubs/pools. Very close to schuss mountain and to downtown Bellaire. We would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful Home

Beautiful home. However check in was at 4:00pm. When we arrived at 4:02pm the house was still being cleaned. The cleaner didnt leave until after 5:30pm. We received no communication the place would not be ready. The last guests towels were in tbe dryer, so had to figure out what to do with the stuff when drying beach towels. After being in the car for 8 hours we really wanted to relax :( Besides the place not beinv ready we had a great time!

Wonderful winter getaway

My family and I really enjoyed our stay at this property. It was great in many ways, close to skiing, lots of space in the house, a nice layout and a real wood fireplace in the living room complemented with a large TV. The house sits on a hill with a wonderful view from every room and it is quite spacious, we had plenty of room for the 5 of us. You can easily have 2-3 couples with kids and have plenty of room. We enjoyed it a lot, more than expected and wanted to stay even longer that we did. When we are skiing in the area, we will for sure have this home on top of the list. The host was great and even left our kids a little treat for hot chocolate. A very nice vacation. Thank You.

Spacious woodland escape

The location and space for our group of 8 was great as well as the fireplace and fire pit! The front door was opened when arriving. The garage was a great space, but our roof racks did not fit (by less than 1 inch) so we parked in the driveway. The listing online was confusing as it stated an 11 AM checkout, though the owner stated later that it was a 10 AM checkout, The hosts were great in honoring what was advertised, just be aware they expect 10 AM for checkout. I would return to this location in the future.

Nice Getaway Trip

We stayed here for a chill bachelorette party, and it was what we all needed. Overall the place was great and what we expected, and we would definitely book this place again! --We love that there is a lot of parking space, bathrooms, and common areas. The deck is BEAUTIFUL --Lots of kitchen space --Secluded but there are things to do within 10 minutes driving distance Some things to note/suggestions: --Mattresses for the full bed bedroom and bunkbeds are old and probably need replacement. Your least picky sleepers should be in these rooms. --The downstairs bathroom needs a shower seal. Water was leaking onto the floor --There are two Kings beds in the bedroom downstairs and not in separate rooms. --Sliding deck door was difficult to move --Stairs to main entrance are wobbly and not level, and it was difficult to see them at night. --Hot water ran out fast, so maybe a bigger water tank that can accommodate 3 showers.

This Home is not summer ready!

We booked this home for a memorial weekend trip with extended family and while it was a decent property overall we ran into several issues soon after checking in. One of the bathroom doors would not latch no matter how much we attempted to push, pull, jiggle, or lift it to get it to work. This was a privacy concern for our group. The grill, which we had planned to use heavily was not on the deck but tucked away into the corner of the garage caked in sawdust and the grates were coated with burnt on food and grease. The deck itself, and all outdoor furniture was covered in forest debris and not set up for use. While the owner was quick to communicate, she made no effort to provide any solutions and basically told us that her cleaning crew was not responsible for any exterior areas and the grill was never cleaned unless guests chose to do it themselves. She repeatedly made it seem like we had unreasonable expectations, or that we were making up issues by insisting she'd never had such complaints. I would assume that if most of her guests are there in the winter for skiing they do not run into these problems. Ultimately, instead of attempting to fix any problems or offering compensation she told us we could leave and get a refund, which is what we elected to do. We ended up with in an exceptional home nearby and enjoyed our weekend. I've been renting on vrbo for over a decade and previous hosts were quick to offer solutions, alternatives, or compensation for lesser problems.
