Our party consisted of three families, 6 adults and 4 kids. The house comfortably accommodated our group for the most part and we enjoyed our stay a lot.
Pros:
- Lots of space - with four bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms and three living areas, we had plenty of room to spread around
- Location - we went in February, so 5-7 min drive to Wisp ski resort was great
- Comfortable beds
- Well equipped kitchen - regular coffee maker plus Keurig (which we wish we had known ahead of time), plenty of plates, mugs, and glasses
- Pool table (speaks for itself) :)
Cons:
- The temps on the ground level on the house were several degrees lower than on upper levels. We were freezing at night in our ground level bedroom and had to raise temperature. There is only one thermostat in the whole house, so it caused those in the bedrooms on the main level to sweat. This also rendered the ground level living room to get significantly less use. It seems that adding a simple curtain (or door) between the entry foyer and the living area on the ground floor would help keep the temp up. Weatherproofing the sliding door in the ground level bedroom would be also helpful.
- Lack of a comfortable ‘hang out’ space on main level. We ended up spending evenings sitting at the dining table as the layout of the main level is not conducive to conversation (the two love seats are against opposite walls and there is no coffee table). A visit from an interior designer may be helpful. :) This might had been less of an issue if it wasn’t so cold on the ground level as there is a great entertaining area there.
- Please please please provide wine glasses made of actual glass. Wine just doesn’t taste the same in plastic “glasses”. :(
- The fridge took forever to get to proper temperature
About the management company:
I called a few days ahead to inquire about check-in. They weren’t able to tell me if a remote check-in was available for this house, which, I thought, was strange. I was told that if it is, I’d receive an email with the key code the day off. Since I haven’t received anything that morning, I called while we were on the way there. They sent the instructions with the keyless entry code then. That’s great, because it was convenient not having to check-in in person. However, the email also included a list of items to bring, which would have been much more useful when we were packing. :) They came through at the end, though, as they gave us an extended check out.
