Convenient stay from Stormont Vail Event Center
We stayed at this house during a 4 day horse show. It was super convenient, clean and comfortable! We had more than enough room for 2 teens, an 11 year old and 3 adults. I was a little concerned about the driveway parking for our large vehicles, but there was more than enough room right across the street. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again the next time we're in town. Thank you!

Ok but underwhelming
The layout was good for our family of 8. Our host was gracious and responsive. The area was convenient but a few sketchy looking neighbors. The cleanliness was not the best - there was a mild sewage smell that permeated the house and several areas that just didn’t seem totally clean. Some of the furniture had broken springs, etc, just generally pretty weathered. The kitchen was stocked sparsely with not quite enough utensils and cook ware to easily prepare a meal. But it was enough to get by. Overall, it got the job done, but it was no luxury experience.

Needs more attention but overall not bad
The house is unique and has potential but does have a few things that need addressed. The front door doesn't seal at all and can daylight around most of it. The toilets were iffy (1 seat loose, the other wobbles on the base). The floors/rugs were very dirty and left my socks black walking on it. There is one kitchen chair that the seat spring popped out and its not the most stable. The living room tv didn't work, only the bedrooms. Also the tree at the garage door has branches hanging down that scratched the car roof. Overall nice stay but needs some more attention.

Very cozy home. Everything you need is available for a nice stay. Owners very responsive when we reached out to ask about using the fireplace. They are working on having it repaired for use. Very friendly owners. We’d rent there again.

An Adequate Crash Pad
The yard was unkempt and there were piles of leaves everywhere that migrated into the garage and into the home through the front door, as they were a lot of leaves gathered on the porch. There was minimal living space, the mud room & the screened sunroom had were made into sleeping spaces. There were towels left in the washer and empty gatorade bottle under the coffee table. There was a potentially hazardous piece of wood in the hallway ceiling halfway hanging down. There was a hole in the living room next to the fireplace that was never repaired. There seemed to be a roach infestation on one side of the kitchen in the countertop appliances (coffee makers & microwave), & the dishwasher. The owners were attentive and kept having the exterminator come, but the roaches never left. I just bought a can of spray to keep them at bay. I never really felt comfortable cooking, more than just using the oven due to the infestation. It appeared to be a 2-car garage, but the owners had taken up almost half the space for storage. The toilet paper, hand soap, paper towels, and laundry supplies were rationed and I ran out, so I had to purchase my own. I was staying over 3 weeks, so I required quite a bit more than what was supplied. It was adequate for my needs, as I wasn't really using it as a vacation rental, but more so a crash pad until my new place was ready. The owners were communicative & responsive, but the condition of the property made it hard to relax & get comfortable.
