Hi Melissa
Your house is lovely. It’s cozy, warmly decorated and nicely furnished. The rooms all worked out fine for our group. The kitchen is well-stocked, and easy to work in. The bathrooms had enough towels and hot water for the group, which is perfect after a day of skiing. Even the game area was stocked with several we played. We forgot our Scrabble but you have it there!
Having the gear storage in the entryway as you walk in is wonderful. With so much needed for skiing, it made it easy for us all to keep our stuff organized and accessible.
The location of your house is great! Literally a couple of miles from Okemo was really nice. Can’t get better than that, with all the comforts of a home.
There are two things that were suggested:
A second television would have been nice. With eight people, some young and some old(er) LOL, it’s not too easy to find stuff to watch that “meets” with everyone’s tastes. Maybe upstairs in the sitting area?
And, a bannister on the short wall opposite the rope wall. We had my mom with us, who’s 88, and having no bannister there made it very difficult for her to come up and down.
We didn’t build a fire for fear of a puff back. But, it was ok without it.
Thank you for your quick responses to our questions, and immediate help with the thermostat thing.
Look forward to another trip to Okemo and we’ll save your home in my VRBO account for future visits!
Best
Julie, Deanna, and Lynn
