It was clean and neat, many amenities were provided, fresh flowers was a nice touch. Everyone loved playing the air hockey. Owners were very communicative whenever I messaged with questions. Complaints we have are the mattresses weren't that comfortable, one of the beds sounded like it would fall apart, the second floor's floor creaked a lot and not level. But we would recommend this house for anyone who wants to visit Shelburne Falls or do some skiing near by. ##### Eric L.

Once we are inside there’s a terrible smell not sure if it’s the garbage can or could be propane smell from stove. We set garbage can outside the next morning come back later that day smell still there!!! So it’s suppose to sleep six there’s only 3 towels to use ( I brought my own thank goodness) and the towels smell terrible not one of the four used them. We ended up leaving Saturday for a 21/2 drive home didn’t feel comfortable in house to stay another night.house needs lots of work!!! ##### Ricky Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### kathy w. 9 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Snowmobiling Trip We were extremely happy with the property and property manager.
