Great place for a large family get together

Everything is a little dated in the house, but for the price they are charging it was a good deal. There are a lot of decoration/antiques on the walls / end tables so if you have young ones that cannot control themselves get the insurance. All of the young kids in our family were sent outside (summer time) if they started to get rambunctious. This only gets 4 stars from me for the Vacasa management. VRBO lets them handle check in and out not on VRBO which would be fine if they were quick. I did not get the door codes on check in day and when I texted Vacasa they first suggested I missed it in my spam folder. After a 10 min back and forth they finally agreed to get me the codes. After another 45 min of waiting they sent me two codes for the doors. What they didn't bother to tell was that it was only for the lock boxes for the physical keys (took us another 15 min. to figure that out). So we waited about an hour outside the house before we could get in. Once we got inside it went OK. Kitchen was well stocked with utensils & appliances. The checkout policy is reasonable and easy to follow.

While the location is beautiful, and the home is spacious, the communication from the management company was horrible the entire time. We were not sent the code before check-in, and had to call and get it. During this day, they did not respond to questions in a timely manner, and the day we left, we quickly realized we left an item. I immediately started communicating, trying to retrieve the item. For almost 3 weeks I have received the same response, which is they have not been able to talk with their team on location to determine if the item was found. Three weeks later, they cannot tell me if they found our item. Horrible.

A place for everyone

We have been doing summer reunions for 10 years. What an amazing set up, every room has its own bathroom. Plenty of room for all of us to dine together. Even with the afternoon and evening showers forcing us indoors we did not feel like we were on top of each other. Thank you Dragon Fly

Perfect family gathering place

Our family of 18 consisted of 10 adults and 8 kids ranging from15 to 2 years. We rented the house and studio apt. for a Thanksgiving ski holiday. It was the perfect space for us. The well appointed kitchen had everything needed to host all meals for a crowd. The bedroom/bathroom situation was wonderful. Providing comfort and privacy for a very large group. We enjoyed the outdoor fire pit and beautiful grounds. Saw a big beautiful buck amble through the back yard in the early morning. My one complaint or dissatisfaction was the check in process. We arrived a few hours early after a 12 hour drive. The check in time seems rather late at 4pm. So we requested an early check in which they did not accommodate. After killing time we attempted to get in at 4:00. The keyless entry to the main house was faulty. We could not get in. It took a handful of phone calls to Vacasa and numerous attempts at various codes, before finally the General Manager at Vacasa in South Fork was able to provide a code and use the emergency key to get in. This took an hour and half! So as well as not accommodating an early check in- we spent a vey frustrating hour and half dealing with this issue. It was cold and Dark by this time. I was very disappointed in this but we quickly put it behind us and enjoyed everything about the house and the trip! We would return and recommend it for a large group.
