Cozy and welcoming
We were extremely happy with our stay. The house was very clean and had everything needed for our stay. It is very conveniently located to the ski slopes, but the location would be beautiful in any season. I was very impressed by the property management's immediate reaction to our minor issues. Everything was resolved within minutes. I would definitely recommend and I would love to go back, if I have a chance.

Home away from home.
House is very beautiful and spacious. This is our third time staying here. We have so many memories here. The cleaning people need to do a better job cleaning the refrigerator. We spent 30 minutes cleaning and bleaching the fridge because there was mold in the fridge. Also the ceiling fans need dusting. Other than that everything was perfect. Thanks again for more memories

Great house
We had a great stay here. The house was perfect for our group. Four bathrooms were a huge plus. We had 5 kids ranging from 2-10 and they all had a great time and enjoyed the downstairs most. Sadly for us it rained most of our stay so we didn't get to hike or do the go carts but we have done both before and always have a great time. We stayed at this house 4 years ago and were very excited to come back since we knew the layout worked so well for our group. Great communication and a clean quiet house.

Great Place for Weekend Ski Trip with Friends
Always great to have the space for family and friends to enjoy a ski weekend together. The large kitchen and the two large tables to allowed the adults and kids to enjoy many good times together - that will be remembered for a life time. Also really appreciated the exceptional responsiveness of the VPMS Team to our questions.

We enjoyed our stay. The place was well located. However, the Queen bed in the basement was not usable bc the mattress was sunken in the middle. We did not have water on Saturday and minimal water on Sunday. We did call management. I hope I will be monetarily compensated for these losses. Thank you.

House filled our needs well
Overall, the house filled our needs well. We especially enjoyed the great room which was open with good lighting. The master bedroom and bath was exceptional. The home had two tables which made eating for our large group convenient. Plenty of parking space behind the house. We had a complaint that the mattress in the upper floor bedroom (not the master) was sunken in the middle so the sleepers tended to roll toward each other. We also found a couple of the kitchen chairs were in in bad repair when we arrived. Overall, the house offers good value for the price.

This property has great location. Walking to the ski lift (although we stayed in spring, not entirely sure if the lift allows access from the street though). Close to the amenities the resort offers, the family adventure park, waterpark etc all close by. Management team is lightning fast in terms responding to messages and requests, trying their best to accomodate. Recommend,
