Beautiful house and property

This is a wonderful place to spend a holiday. We were there for Thanksgiving and it was perfect. Snow fell on Thanksgiving day giving us a cozy feel and beautiful walks along a path across the field in front of the house. Be prepared for an older house. This is not for everyone but we prefer it. The working fireplace was a real plus. The Art - everywhere you look there is something interesting and thought provoking. The house has everything you need for a big group (we were a group of 10). The kitchen is not modern but has everything you need. The grounds are beautiful and very well kept. We will rent again for sure.

Beautiful Home

The house was a perfect weekend getaway for a group of friends from the city. It was absolutely gorgeous and had everything we could need. We even got two feet of snow, so it was a magical Vermont experience! We would definitely go back and thank you!

Great Friendsgiving!

Loved the Friendsgiving at this beautiful place. We had 14 people ranging in age from 9 to 50 plus a pet. We had ample room and great hospitality. We also had a great lunch at Mystic 802 (recommend the spaghetti).

Gorgeous, comfortable luxury in a pristine setting

This property was a dreamy, romanticized take on a Victorian property. There was more than enough space for 11 of us (4 extra beds than we needed!!) and the property was absolutely decked out with everything you could need. We swam, we played volleyball, we had a family archery contest, we ate outside on a long, handmade table that looked like it was from a “country living magazine”…. There was lazy morning coffee on the front porch, late night hangouts on the back deck, a sunken bathtub…. books and artwork galore… this home is a well maintained, storybook place and was perfect for a family reunion. Any concerns I had based on previous reviews were put to rest immediately - ignore them! The water was lovely and tasted great, dishwasher worked fine, everything was comfortable. 100% would stay again (and maybe again and again!)

Nice property but limited on comfort

This house has charm and character but a few things you might want to consider. There is no cellular service, the wifi did not work and more importantly the water smelled like sewer, the heating system is dated and couldn't keep the home warm. We also found no microwave and the dishwasher was out of order.

Needs lots of work

It’s a very cute house, but its dirty and needs a lot of work that has clearly been neglected for some time. One of the showers is unusable as it leaks into the kitchen. It’s obvious that it’s been ignored for a while because there are water stains on the ceiling. From finding mouse poop in the salad bowl to broken furniture that had been taped back together or simply left broken (dining chairs, to rusty kitchen utensils. This house left a lot to be desired. Oh and there’s no AC on the second floor. Not great when it’s 84 degrees outside with only 1 window unit on the first floor.

Good and Bad

The Good: Great locale, charming home, well appointed kitchen, pool, space for lawn games. The Bad: Though the property was advertised with air conditioning (one of our main requests) there was none. 2nd floor bedrooms were hot at night (early July). Had to go out and buy fans. Two of our family have allergies and having to keep windows open for ventilation kept them coughing and sneezing. Opened the dishwasher the first evening after a meal for 7 adults and 2 children to find dirty water lying in the bottom and the dishwasher non functioning. Contacted owner about both ac and dishwasher but neither situation was ever remedied. Evolve, the agency that handled the booking through VRBO was not a strong advocate on our behalf for a reasonable rebate. We will not book through them again. Owner was charming and polite but nonchalant about each of these problems, never offering to fix them during our stay. I am not sure what recourse one really has when a property is not as advertised, especially when it involves a key factor you used in choosing the property. The full amount had been prepaid. Some traveled from GA & TN for the week. We were not alerted beforehand by the owner and given the opportunity to cancel or accept it “as is” at a reduced rate. We came away quite discouraged by the lack of protection for the renter in such a situation. Not sure we will use VRBO in the future.

lovely home and pool

We are a group of 14 women who have rented a house together for the last 10 yrs and understand that each house has its pros and cons. The pros of this house are that the grounds and pool are beautiful, the house is spacious and can accomodate a crowd and the surrounding area has a lot to offer. Weather permitting we ate al fresco almost every night dining with the fireflies. The cons are that we were told check in was at 3 but the housekeeper was told 4 and she wasn’t finished cleaning when we arrived. Having a crew to clean would remedy this problem as it is a large house. I also believe the house had not been opened or rented recently as the outside porches and furniture were not clean with lots of cobwebsand dirt and they need repair as some boards are rotted. Opening windows showed windowsills full of dead bugs and there were mouse droppings in empty kitchen drawers. The main kitchen refrigerator did not work but there was another inside the back door that did work but there is no ice maker. The dishwasher did not work and we had to buy dish soap for hand washing. When you rent a house for 15 you expect dishes and glasses and coffee mugs that can handle the traffic. A little better stocking and effort is needed especially when you are hand washing. We have had the issue of clutter in other homes we have rented and this one also has that dilemma. All the coat hooks, table tops and closets were taken up with the owners winter coats and personal effects. The bathrooms also had a lot of owners supplies and need some work in that the toilet was wobbly and shower heads a bit clogged from the soft water. The beds are comfortable and the window air conditioners worked well but the bunk room was very hot and had no ac or fans. With mattresses on the floor that room was hard to sleep in. There are 2 stairways which are steep and one does not have a handrail. We did have a ‘fall’ that did not result in an injury but the rug on the stairs needs to be removed. Recognizing that this is an older home and that I believe this is the first year it has been rented out one can expect that this will be a learning experience for the owners. With attention to all of these shortcomings this house will be a wonderful place for gatherings in the future. We did contact the owner regarding the mouse droppings and the housekeeper came immediately to reclean the kitchen and brought us wine glasses as there were none.

Amazing stay!

We had an absolutely amazing stay at this property, it is far more gorgeous than shown in pictures. It was a large group and we were all very comfortable. The home was clean and the caretakers Rosa and Mario were delightful! We will definitely be coming back!

A very inviting gathering space

8 girls and two babies could move and sleep comfortably. Cooking and spending time together andweekend was wonderful. We asked the property manager who was in a different structure on site to set a fire in one of the fireplaces, and it was warm and cozy.

Charming for sure.

The house was old, so be prepared to go to a rustic old house. Interesting to say the least for the shower upstairs. The wood burning stoves were fantastic and definitely needed during the winter months. All ski locations were about slightly less than an hour, should of read the details more carefully. All in all it was a great time for the entire family and friends.

With easy updates would have been great

Beautiful part of Vermont. So grateful they allowed dogs - they were in Heaven and they are very much a part of our family. Brilliant communication with owner. Wonderful floor plan. Super toasty with the fabulous wood burning stoves. My wife was in Heaven with the books and art. The House definitely needs a DEEP clean - my wife (interior designer) referred to it as a commercial cleaning (typically hired post renovations/construction). The other problem was the sulfur in the water— while assured it was safe the smell was pretty awful.....we spent a lot of money on water to drink, cook and hygiene. Other improvements would be simple update in linens/shower curtain — make sure lights/bulbs work — throw out old soap/sponges/refrigerator items - washable slip covers for furniture — all stained big time (we brought lots of blankets and wound up placing them on sofas to sit). Back bathroom basically has a hole in the floor in front of the toilet. My wife is going to make specific suggestions (affordable showrooms/products) that are pet/kid/renting friendly to owner with the intention of helping — no judgement. These updates are very manageable with the income this house is providing. Keep us posted - if tackled - we will gladly be back! ❤️ Vermont!

Lovely stay

We really enjoyed our stay at Chandler House. The property was great for our kids to have a sense of freedom while still close by. The pool was ideal despite some water issues caused by weather and rain. If you appreciate design and architecture, this is great place to stay. It was elegant and comfortable. The host Antony was extremely responsive and helpful.

Absolutely fabulous!

Everything about our trip was so great. The house is absolutely gorgeous. We were a family of 5 for 3 days and then 6 friends joined us. The house is spacious and there was plenty of room for everyone inside and out! The house has lots of character and is exsquitely decorated and furnished with all sorts of eclectic objects, art and books. I could've spent days looking through the books in the library. The kitchen is really well equipped for large parties. We wanted for nothing. All the beds were amazingly comfortable and the kids LOVED the bunkhouse! The host was extremely responsive! Honestly, we can't wait to come back!

This Place Is A Disaster

My wife and I recently rented your Rupert, VA home for a weekend with our family. The pictures that you posted convinced us that the home would be perfect in every way. Unfortunately, when we arrived it was a different story. All of us – eight adults and six grandchildren – were shocked at the condition of the home and realized that some time must have passed since those original photos were posted. We found the interior of the home in such deplorable shape: • A cooler of rotted, maggoty, steaks greeted us as we entered the kitchen. Gagging over the putrid stench it created, our oldest grandson had to drag it outside as we tried not to vomit. How did your cleaning crew miss that one? • The dishwasher didn’t work, which was a major inconvenience with 14 people staying there. How long does it take to fix or replace a dishwasher? • When we attempted to make coffee we found the glass carafe for the coffee maker had a hole in the bottom of it. Thankfully there was large coffee urn we were able to use. • The potable water smelled of sulphur. We were told to let it run and the smell would dissipate. After the days of use by 14 people, it still smelled like sulfur. • There were dead flies on the kitchen window ledges. • There were live mice scurrying about and their droppings found in the kitchen drawers and living room, and likely in the other rooms as well. • We found petrified dog poo in the living room. When my daughter removed it and washed the area, she found more under the area rug, as well. • The large TV was not hooked up to the cable. • Unfortunately, the central heat isn’t turned on until November, and it took two days of constantly feeding the fireplaces with wood (which we purchased) to get rid of the bone chilling atmosphere. When we found the three well-hidden space heaters, the breakers flipped off. • The bathtub and toilet on the main floor were in a deplorable state and need replacing, and the floor under the toilet was about to cave in as the floor is likely rotted. The baseboard heating units are filthy, broken and hanging off the walls. • There are no locks on the bathroom doors, and the door to a tiny bathroom off the main floor bedroom is broken and literally will not shut. The owner has not taken any ownership for these issues; thankfully Evolve Vacation Rental, have been great to work with and refunded us any profit they made on this listing. They should delist this property from their offering.

We truly enjoyed our stay. We spent a lot of time in the pool. I thought the water would be too cold but it was beautiful. Our family loved bike riding and running in the area. The grounds are fabulous. We also enjoyed the fully equipped kitchen. We were there for just over a week. A heat wave came at the end of the week and it got very warm in the loft.

Quirky old house, great for a large group!

We stayed here for a few days with 9 adults and 6 kids and it worked out perfectly. The house is decorated with great style and we loved the wood burning stoves and fireplace. Although it was too cold for the pool it seems like a great place to be in the warmer months. My only complaint was that I wish I had been warned that the heat would not be turned on during our stay. We were fine with space heaters and the fireplace but it was damp and chilly when we arrived and some of us didn't bring enough warm clothes. In addition, the water definitely smells like sulfur. If you're a laid back traveler more interested in a cool experience than the luxuries of a more modern place, this house is for you.....but if you are picky this might not be the place for you!

Amazing!

This house is huge and homely. The property is the perfect size. Plenty of room to set up lawn games, multiple options for camp fires. The pool is terrific for hanging out in or around. Didn’t know there was not a microwave though, keep that in mind when planning food! Definitely would stay there again. Plenty of bathrooms and sleeping areas.

Overall great stay, quick to address problems

Lovely older house. Lots of character and beautiful grounds. We had an initial mix up about our arrival date, but Antony was extremely helpful, easy to contact and made everything right. We enjoyed late night conversations around the campfire, coffee on the covered porch, relaxing in the hammocks and so much more than a hotel can ever offer! Thanks for a memorable vacation.
