Near Hiking Trails & Ski Resorts: Killington Home!

Reviews

• 4/5

  The house is well stocked and a good set up for 2 families to stay and it is close to the mountain. We were disappointed that the cleaners were in the house until about 30 minutes after our check in time. Also, the fireplace was so smoky we could not use it. We followed the instructions in the book with no success.

  Overall, the house was perfect for us! Great location. Beautiful inside and out.

  The place was very cold when we arrived as there was no heat on, so I recommend bringing slippers as the floors were cold. Took a few days to fully warm up.

  Beautiful property that looks exactly as advertised. Quiet area, but still close to Killington amenities and not far from Rutland, which has commercial shops (Starbucks, McDonalds, Walmart, etc). Other houses are visible on the street amongst the trees, but we never heard or saw anyone. My family of 7 (2 grandparents, 2 kids, my spouse, me, and a dog) had plenty of room to spread out and relax. Bedrooms were all good size and had plenty of storage. We enjoyed grilling and making s’mores around the fire pit. We would absolutely stay here again.We only had two issues. One, WIFI kept going in and out. We frequently had to restart the router. A couple of us had to do some work online in the mornings and evenings, so that added a bit of a challenge. Two, we weren’t able to get the air conditioners working despite following the directions left for us at the house. Following the same directions, though, heat ran. We did not contact the host about either issue during our stay as we were ultimately able to manage.

  Manager's Response:

  From the owner: "I’m so glad you and your family enjoyed your stay and found the home comfortable and relaxing. I appreciate you sharing your feedback about the Wi-Fi and air conditioning. While we haven’t experienced issues with connectivity before, we’re replacing the router to ensure an even more reliable signal moving forward. We’ll also be testing the AC system to confirm everything is functioning properly. Thank you again for your kind words, and I’d be happy to welcome you all back anytime."

  The house was clean, the furniture was nice, and the finishes were new.

• Nice place, nonexistent local support

  3/5

  Over all the house is very nice and in a great location. Allowing dogs is a big plus. The neighborhood is quite and has practically no traffic. The house was very clean and well equipped with cookware and appliances however, you could smell smoke in the house the minute you enter. The wood burning stove was not much use, hard to light, and no matter what you do and I have two wood burning appliances so know what I'm doing, you can't prevent smoke from escaping the appliance. The beds are reasonably comfortable, there is plenty of hot water and the tap water is very good (doesn't seem hard and has no taste/smell). I didn't use the TV other than to see how it worked. The picture was average at best and sounded like a couple of tin cans attached to strings.

  My big issue was a lack of response from the local contact, a person that is supposed to provide support (answer questions, help with problems or emergencies) during your stay. I got no response from the listed e-mail or phone #. In my opinion this is completely unacceptable. A call to the Evolve office was answered in a reasonable amount of time and that person could not get a response from the local contact as well. Although the Evolve staff member I talked to was very polite and helpful, I doubt we will rent a unit from Evolve again. Otherwise we would stay at this location again, the pluses outweigh the minor issues.
