Nice enough
As with anything there's good and bad about this property. The good was location -- midway between Stowe (with its tourist focused opportunities) and Morrisville (which is more of a locals place, where we spent a lot of time). The property is off the highway. So there was no road noise; although the neighbor pulling the kids around on a small tractor was kind of annoying. The house itself was okay. The bedrooms were well sized. And the kitchen appliances were practically brand new. There also wasn't an overabundance of chotchkas, which, after out last VRBO experience, can be kind of annoying.
Now for the problems, and why we won't be returning. There are a number of fundamental hazards in the house. The second floor bathroom has a whirlpool tub, which in theory sounds great, but it's installed on a platform presumably to accomodate the additional plumbing. When you add the high sides of a whirlpool tub with another half foot or so, it makes getting in and out to take a shower very difficult. Add to that tthe lack of grab bars, and it becomes downright dangerous. Also many of the electric outlets in the house are worn to the point where plugs don't fit snugly. This might explain why some people complained that lights didn't work. Finally, there is a giant hole in the wall behind the bed of the 2nd floor bedroom. I'd estimate that it is about 4' by 4'. While not a hazard, it is really creepy.
