Good Property, Missing Hot Water, Amenity Equipment
The property was as advertised however had some key flaws: - Hot Water cut off during our stay, we had to bathe in freezing cold water - Bear Box to throw trash was broken / not working - Amenties had issues: -- Ping Pong Table was stowed away in Garage. Paddles burried under a pile of furniture stowed away in Garage, ball wasn't present. Garage light wasn't working making it challenging to navigate through Garage -- Basketball Ring didn't have a ball provided making the amenity unusable - Refrigerator ice maker wasn't working - The Vrbo message a property feature created messages with AvantStay but no one showed up to resolve any issues throughout our stay. We only got acknowledgement messages

Quiet Retreat
Really loved the quiet neighborhood with wide streets, perfect for bike riding. The kids loved the game room. Really wished they had said when their Summer season ends and the "Winter Season " begins. All of the outdoor furniture pictured in the pictures was stuffed into the garage. Not a big deal since it rained while we were there, but still. Overall the house was very, very clean. But the kids bunk room smelled like dog and I found a lot of dog hairs all over the rug and beds. Little issue with the door code locking us out, but we messaged the rental company and they got right back to us with a new code. The beds were very comfy, but we didn't have enough washcloths for our family. Overall, we would stay here again. The location is great! We had a fun weekend.

Great Family Vacation Home
Our family came here for a winter vacation & it was great. It was very cozy and homey feeling which felt nice and welcoming. Lots of space for the whole family. The neighborhood was beautiful and it was in a great location as it was close to a lot. We came during the winter months which is not seen in pictures of home, looks like it is mainly advertised during the summer. The pictures on the listing look way nicer than the actual condition of the rooms -- not that it was a total negative, just something to be aware of when booking this home. Some specific things were: Beds were slightly uncomfortable. The hot tub did not seem clean when we arrived. And the freezer door on the fridge would not stay closed if you were getting into the fridge frequently. Overall though it was a good experience for the price!

Wonderful Stay
We rented this property for 3 nights during christmas weekend and we were 12 people (including infants, teens, and adults). This property definitely the best fit for us. The house was well maintained and looking forward for our summer visit. Very close to most of the event places. Everyone in our group has enjoed a lot. Thank you Avanstay for managing and operating this property. We never had a need to talk to anyone but most of our queries were addressed through messages with in an hour time.

Not as nice as pictures look and poor management
Disappointing. First of all, they completely false advertised a garage game room when I booked it - it had shuffleboard the ping pong table corn hole and dart board. When we got there the owners filled the garage with their stuff. No game room. They have since taken that photo off but that was the very reason we had booked this property. False advertising. But future people shouldn’t have the problem since they took the photo off. Pictures are very photoshopped. It’s not terrible but it’s not as new and nice in person as it looks in the pictures. Back yard is nice but looks much bigger in the pictures than it really is. Lights in the house flicker constantly, furniture is older, couches are very uncomfortable. Couches in upstairs game room in pictures are leather but they moved these packed in their garage and put different furniture up there that’s ikea type uncomfortable couches. Kitchen had plenty of dishes but not much else as far as pantry staples. It basically had salt. Pepper was empty, other spices were mostly empty and olive oil was almost empty. That was about it. Ping pong paddles were thrashed and there was no ping pong ball. Chess board had broken pieces and dart board had no darts. I wish I could upload photos. It’s like they advertised all these games and activities but we couldn’t actually use any of them. We did tell management and they did bring new ping pong paddles ball chess board and darts. But we had to request it all. Hot tub had dirt in the bottom. We still used it but there’s a camera with speaker pointed right at it so doesn’t really feel private. The management company was not responsive quickly. To get a hold of them you have to wait on hold and it rings and rings and you just have to hope someone answers or leave a msg. So in our case when we couldn’t get in the house because the code was not working we stood out there for 20 min trying to get a hold of someone to get in. Mid way through our stay the code stopped working so I texted the management company and I didn’t get a response for 4-1/2 hours. Overall for the price I paid I was expecting something a lot nicer and for all the activities to be ready to go when we got there. I would not stay here again.

Family Gathering house
Good Place for family gathering. They had a snow shoveling service which was vey nice. Only room for 3 cars. (or 4 smaller ones). Some heating issues: Master bedroom was chilly and the other bedrooms very hot. Kitchen fireplace didn't work but living room one did and we sure appreciated the free wood for it. We enjoyed a nice ski-vacation and it's location good for all the resorts.

Perfect Weekend Getaway
Happy we came across this property while planning a last-minute getaway. Reasonably priced, clean, and just enough space to accommodate our family. We loved the huge backyard! It was a perfect sledding spot for the little ones and the jacuzzi kept the adults warm during this cold season. Perfect weekend getaway!

Perfect getaway for groups and families
This property was perfect for our tiny social pod to celebrate the holidays. The multiple hang out spaces are great and would be perfect for larger groups or groups with kids, as each has a tv and comfortable seating. The fireplace in the main living area was lovely to have going while we watched movies and prepared our meals. The hot tub comfortably fit 6 people. It’s a lovely neighborhood to walk around, and a very short drive to some excellent hiking trails. Thanks for a great stay!

Great house, perfect for big groups!
This place was wonderful to stay at, plenty of space, truly big enough to accommodate the number of people it says it will. All of the spaces were very cozy and comfortable. Some of my guests found the beds a bit lumpy, but overall the furniture was comfortable. Kitchen is very well stocked. 10/10, would stay here again. The only small note is that during the winter, one side of the garage is not available for parking because they store the summer outdoor furniture there. Maybe it said this in the listing and I missed it, but that was a small surprise to us and we had to play a bit of Tetris with our cars. But still overall lovely, I would stay here again.
