The house was the perfect size for our family. The games downstairs and the hot tub an added bonus. The communication with Emily was outstanding.

Easy to find location and accessible parking. On arrival, we found the front door unlocked. Found garbage can on side deck tipped and garbage around the deck. Did pick it up. One lite out in dining room. Lots of room for playing games and relaxing. The king bed is uncomfortable, dips in middle. Downstairs toilet keeps on running. Loved the dining room table for family time. Like the set up of the house and all the bathrooms. Thanks for the hot tub and game room. Do think the light switches could be labeled. There was a vase of dead roses on the kitchen island. Appliances worked well. No smoke detector in kitchen but did see one laying outside on the same deck as mentioned before. Your maintenance needs some tweaking. Thanks for the stay.

Rent with caution. It is a very old home that was attempted to have been updated. There are 3 different heat sources that were poorly regulated, a musty smell through out the home and many containers of Damp Rid randomly placed to help. There were no paths shoveled to the outdoor amenities. A shovel was hard to find because it was between the house and deck under the snow. Beds were very low quality and the king size bed only had ONE center support left. We discovered this after the suspicion that the bed would not hold two adults. The other beds were not properly maintained (screws tightened). There was damage from previous stays that were not noted. There was no ice or water from the new refrigerator (undisclosed) and a low quality sofa with no cushioning. We had to wash the dishes before using because of debris in them. No comforts of home feeling. Emily was kind in our many interaction, but gave the impression she didn't know much about the home or how things worked inside. It felt like they were not prepared for our stay. Would not recommend to family or friends. We enjoyed the time spent outside of the rental the most on our weekend.

Winter Getaway
We spent 5 nights at the Chatham Hills House for a family winter getaway. House was roomy and had plenty of spaces for the 11 of us to spread out or gather together. The family enjoyed the outdoors snowshoeing the attached DCLT nature preserve, sledding, firepit, and hot tub!The bunk room had all the grandchildren excited and offered them a place of their own to watch tv and hang out together.The home was neat and tidy and ready for our visit. The crew that came to clear the parking lot and sidewalks after 7” of snow was greatly appreciated! Communication with our hosts was wonderful and extremely prompt! We would definitely consider staying again!

Winter fun
Wonderful location and amenities. Booked for middle of winter. Easily could’ve stayed inside the house the entire trip, tons of entertainment options. Best part was the acres of trail system in the backyard. So much fun!

Poorly completed renovations
Poorly completed renovations caused an upstairs shower to drain through the kitchen ceiling. A maintenace person was not readily available for a fix or inspection so we were unable to use that bath unit. While this did not make our stay uninhabitable no effort was made to adjust the price paid for our trip to make things right. No communication after initial discussion about not being able to send someone. Sent private review and heard nothing. Disappointing end to an otherwise fun couples trip. Location was great and layout for the property was nice. Renovations looked good but there were hidden issues. I would be cautious about booking again.

Great place!
Emily was very responsive to my questions prior to our stay. After we checked in we discovered the hot water wasn't working - Emily had someone there within an hour and fixed the problem. Great space for our family holiday gathering.

January Celebration
Beautiful home that offers all the qualities you would expect at home. Our hosts thought of EVERYTHING! We celebrated a milestone birthday - all women. We were pleased to have FIVE full bathrooms, a fully stocked coffee bar, every kitchen necessity possible (all good quality), plenty of linens/blankets, towels, paper goods, and they even provided full size pump bottles of shampoo/conditioner, and body wash in each shower! I have never seen this! Thank you for allowing us to be your guest!
