We came to hike Vermont's quintessential peaks and appreciate the fall foliage. The home/resort (okay this place is magnificent) is centrally located for hikes in the area, i.e., Camel's Hump State Park, Mount Mansfield etc. And, if bad weather persists like we experienced, there are mega options in the Shelburne area and beyond for grand adventures.
Our routes changed daily and we were always thankful to return to our rental and shower, do laundry, cook dinner etc.
We had a few hiccups during our stay and the Vacasa team were immediately on line and responded in person as well. We were impressed by their response time and support.
The home is spectacular. I mean gorgeous inside and out. The grounds spectacular. The amenities perfect. I will add that the lighting and heating systems are clearly designed for ultra technically trained persons. We had to get a texted video to teach us how to turn on the heat. It was below 40 degrees inside when we arrived. One local Vacasa person respected our frustration saying she agreed as well.
Overall, I give the lodging a 10 star rating starting with communication and response time, then addressing the home, space, decoration, location, views, amenities etc. It truly ranks as lifestyles of the rich and famous.
