WONDERFUL JAY PEAK VACATION HOME!

We rented this beautiful property from Dec 26- Jan 1, 2011. The house worked great for our group, The kitchen proved to be a gathering space with it's eat-in table/booth arrangement. Very well equipped and user friendly. The wood stove worked well enough but it was not a gathering point as we might have expected. It is in a high traffic area and we did not feel we could use it during the day with young children walking by it. The heating system made up for it with its many zones that allowed very good control. At first we thought the kitchen floor was pretty cold but when I found the book of pictures that showed the renovation I realized that the thermostat near the table in the kitchen controlled the floor - very nice!

The bedrooms certainly worked but with 2 rooms with double beds (not queens) and two other rooms with a bunk bed with a double on the bottom and a single on top - the accommodations for couples beyond the master left something to be desired. The double beds were also not comfortable at all.

The weather was a complete mix of cold with fresh snow at the beginning of the week to quite warm at the end. This allowed us to have it all including a great snowman. The lights in the trees and floods in the yard enhanced the feel at night.

All-in-all a great rental from a guy with a great attitude - easy to work with and concerned that all went well for us. It was as advertised and very clean. Definitely recommend to a family for a gathering. We went to News Years Eve fireworks at Jay Peak which were very nice and worth the drive (15 mins)
