This home is nestled in an idyllic Vermont village with beautiful views of the surrounding hills. Lovely location, charming fireplace , and ample room for many guests. The home could benefit, however, from improved instructions and cleanliness for the advertised hot tub. We settled on this location and turned down others because of its advertised hot tub, but were disappointed the first night to be unable to figure out how it worked and unable to find instructions. Contacting the property manager was difficult, indirect, and time consuming and we lost a night of hot tub use, as a result. We finally figured out how to get the hot tub operational on day #2, but quickly discovered that it smelled strongly of mildew or mold. Very unpleasant, even when in use. The property manager responded to our request for help by day #2, acknowledged that the hot tub needed better instructions, and offered to give us a $25 per day discount for the inconvenience if we weren't able to get it to work. Overall, because we chose this location for the hot tub, we were left pretty disappointed about that one detail. But despite the hot tub issue and the difficulty in contacting the property manager, we still had a great week and found a lot of charm in this home.
