The house is half way between Rutland and Killington. Very clean. Quiet neighbors. In general the house is as advertised. It needs more pots for the induction stove. Plus basics like measuring cups, spoons. Insufficient number of closet hangers for 2 people much less many more renters. Livingroom furniture was comfortable. Streaming tv only, we brought our Roku along so no issue there. The heat worked well.

The place had a funky smell to it. it smelled like someone had closed the place up for a long time and it had not been aired out. I spilled water on the floor and used a cloth to clean it up. It was not a pretty sight. The 5 second rule did not apply. I had trouble with the stove top. It started and then turned off. They said no one else reported it. We were only there for a couple of days, so I did not push the issue. The property manager said no one complained about the musty smell before. My wife mentioned when we left the washer and dryer room was full of scented candles and air deodorizers, just saying. Good location, I have not lived in VT for 30 years and forgot how dark it is, missed the road a couple of times since it was so dark, that was all on me.

This home is perfectly located. So close to Rutland and all the shops and eateries. Communication was easy and very quick. The house was squeaky clean with plenty of space. TV has every channel you can think of. Laundry is included and the laundry soap smells great! My only minor complaints were that the bed was maybe a tiny bit too soft and the neighbors are a little closer than I expected. But neither of those things would deter me from staying here again!

This was a very nice place to stay as we explored Vermont for the first time. This location was central enough for day trips to Stowe, Burlington, Woodstock, Manchester and Bennington. Restaurants in Killington and Rutland were close by for dinners.
