House Belleayre peaceful spring water swimming pond

The host was EXTEMELY responsive, which is very important to me when I travel with my family. The house was wonderful and more than enough room for the four of us. It was in a great location, lots of space and tons of character.

The location of the house hit every box on my checklist. I’m from Texas and promised my kids a snow filled Christmas. The location delivered! The host, Gisele, was a fantastic communicator and when we experienced a mild snow storm she was informative and transparent which made our preparations easy to execute. It was my first time being “snowed in” and we were completely unbothered! I cooked most of our meals myself and her kitchen was very well stocked and the refrigerator was clean and cold, which I definitely appreciated! This house is perfect for a family since everyone had their own room and space with plenty of games, puzzles and movies to make ourselves at home. 100% recommend!

The check in was easy and Gisele was responsive and friendly. We were totally wowed by the house, its even more beautiful than the photos. The way you can see the lake through all the downstairs windows, and gaze upon nature while you are cooking in the kitchen was great. There was a small table where we could do a family jigsaw puzzle and at night we had a campfire and marshmallows.

We stayed as a family for 4th of July weekend. The location was great, very close to Belleayre and Margaretville for the carnival and fireworks. The kids loved the pond and there was a nice amount of outdoor space in the back. The kitchen sink was clogged throughout our stay which was tough do deal with because doing dishes was a challenge and the smell of the water wasn’t great as we waited for it to drain. If it happens again I would recommend trying to get a plumber in asap and not just dealing with the clog. I didn’t realize that there was no AC (completely my fault I should have paid closer attention to the listing) and it was an extremely hot weekend so that was tough in the upstairs bedrooms. I would recommend bringing a bigger fan to help with circulation upstairs and hopefully that would help, the fans downstairs worked well and kept it much cooler down there. The open floor plan downstairs was nice and there was enough room to comfortably fit two families. Overall we had a good weekend and the kids had a great time.
