Portoro in Woodstock, Vermont

“The location is great, very easy to walk to the village. But the busy road nearby detracts somewhat from the beautiful sound of the babbling river in the back yard, which is very overgrown. Instructions asked us to use the side door but we could not unlock it. Had to enter from the front door. It's a charming, older home, but could use a refresh. The dishes, glasses, pots/pans were dirty. There was a resident daddy long legs in the bathroom. The upstairs tub does not drain properly. Gross. I reached out to the property management company before I booked to specifically ask if three cars can fit in the driveway. They said we were welcome to bring three cars, but there was only space for two. But we did enjoy our stay, and the home had plenty of space for six adults. Lots of great restaurants, shops, and things to do in the area!”

“Very beautiful and serene setting. Well equipped kitchen. Enjoyed our short stay”

“What a cool home. Great location. Close to lots of activities and restaurants. Sitting on the porch watching the river was peaceful. Bathrooms were clean. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked. They left us lots of towels. We had everything we needed. The home does need better upkeep.”

“This has the capacity to be a great Airbnb. Location is great, wonderful new deck, and lots of activities for young children. The management company with whom we dealt electronically was responsive, but did not have completely accurate information about the state of the house or the facilities. They did send two folks to deal with one of the issues, who were very kind and professional. We had some issues with AC and trash disposal, but the company did provide fair compensation. If they iron out a couple of these small issues (and they did describe to us their intent to do so), this will be an easy recommend.”

“Special place. I already booked an additional two weeks here in late October to early November. I would never again stay in the heat of the summer. The heat in the home was brutal, I had to leave a day early because I couldn’t take it anymore. That being said… the house is lovely and I adored my mornings here. The location is fantastic and the decor is so cozy it made me smile and instantly relax despite the uncomfortable heat. Unfortunately the downstairs shower was never cleaned. There were empty thrown toiletries and dirty towels left behind. The showers have a rust issue and covered everything in a film of brown rust with a bad smell so I was not quick to shower during my stay, which made it even more uncomfortable for me in the heat. Cleaning / toiletry supplies were not adequately stocked. The side and back doors were left unlocked when I arrived, not a single light left on. There were unidentified cars parked near the entry for 2 days of my trip, support was slow to respond.”
