Dog-Friendly Fitchburg Vacation Rental, Hike & Ski

Reviews

• Four nights in Fitchburg

  4/5

  We drove from Wisconsin to bring one child back to The Winchendon School and to tour Curry College for another. We planned to be back and forth a lot and found the location of this property decent. Our goal with renting a property is to prepare our own meals and to have a comfortable space. The kitchen had basic supplies/equipment. The pans could be updated due to heavily scratched coating, although they worked ok. I found some of the utensils to be dirty, especially the pizza cutter. I am thinking the previous renters may have tossed used items in the drawer. I made pancakes one morning and could not find a mixing bowl, so I used a serving dish instead to mix the batter. The kitchen details are minor, but worth mentioning. The queen mattress was not the most comfortable, it was thin and soft. The charging ports were a nice convenience on two of the nightstands. The washer and dryer came in handy and were used a few times. Not pictured, but in the living room is a table that folds open with two chairs next to the TV. This provides a place to sit while eating, but we mainly ate sitting on the couch using the coffee table. There was a noticeable musty smell in the house that we got used to after a while. All in all, the property served the purposes we needed it for, but small details could be tended to.

  Nice private location on a woodsy lot. Cute 4 room, 2 bedroom, 1 bath, with the necessary amenities. Landlord very cooperative and prompt in responses. Would book again

  5/5

  It's not luxury, but it's 8,437 times better than a hotel. Hung out by the fire pit after work. Nice neighborhood.

  3/5

  Stayed and visited our kid at FSU- was fine for a quick stay but long term maybe too long because beds were very uncomfortable and was a little musty smelling

  Hi Jeanne, the right vacation home is everything, and we're disappointed if this one didn’t meet all your expectations. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:
  - The mattresses were updated less than a year ago, with a medium firmness chosen to suit a wide range of comfort preferences, but we're sorry they didn't meet your expectations.
  - The home has a unique charm, preserved in honor of its original owner, Pearl, to maintain a cozy, vintage feel.
  - We’ll look into the musty scent you noted to ensure future guests enjoy a fresh and welcoming atmosphere.
  Thank you for providing this feedback, and we hope to host you again on your next visit to Tallahassee!
