Nice house with a great view! Nice quite location, until it gets windy. There was a weather front that came through while we were there with very high winds. The metal roof would make some awful sounds, loud enough that i actually stepped out of the house to inspect it as I was sure that the wind damaged it. I would have bet money that the roofing was being torn/blown off, but to my surprise I didn't see any damage. It was sustained high wind, causing enough roof noise to wake me up.
Kitchen was very nice and supplied with everything that we needed to make breakfast, lunch and dinner. Bedrooms and bathrooms also supplied with plenty of linens and bathroom sundries. Plenty of space for my family to enjoy while we skied at Okemo, Mt Snow and Mount Sunapee. Most home rentals we have used typically contain some sort of binder with some sort of Welcoming letter, home directions, safety items and local information. Upon arrival, the house temp was set to a low temperature (understandable), with no Welcoming book we ended up searching for one to figure out how to increase the temp. Randomly locating two wrinkled and stained sheets of paper in the cabinet above the Fridge, we found some direction on operating the thermostat's. Numerous bulbs above the kitchen table are burnt out and the ceiling fan/light fixture in the living room does not function. I would assume the ceiling fan is operated by remote, but no remote was ever located. We searched everywhere to include in and under the couch (BTW under the couches need a cleaning. numerous pieces of trash, magazines, papers and ping pong balls are under it...but no remote found).
Plenty of firewood available for the fireplace, which was very nice after skiing in the cold all day. I was surprised to find a hatchet located on the hearth. Great to use for making smaller kindling, but surprised the owners would provide for the renters use. I wouldn't want renters chopping kindling in my house risking damage to the house or hurting themselves. Possibly provide a single complementary fire starter to each renter. There was also a bottle of charcoal grill starter located on the hearth, also a risk that I wouldn't provide. Thinking about it now, I don't recall seeing a fire extinguisher but I may have missed it.
One other thing to mention, there is conflicting information concerning the hot tub. On the rental agreement I believe it states no drinks of any sort allowed in it. On the hidden, worn out info sheets that we discovered oddly placed in a cabinet that rarely gets used I believe it also stated no drinks in the hot tub, but I believe there is a notice on the inside wall located near the door going to the hot tub that states only plastic cups are allowed. I think there may have been another notice concerning the hot tub on the fridge...which seems an odd place to put it. Either way, have the rules the same at all locations they are posted.
