Winter Getaway

We spent 5 nights at the Chatham Hills House for a family winter getaway. House was roomy and had plenty of spaces for the 11 of us to spread out or gather together. The family enjoyed the outdoors snowshoeing the attached DCLT nature preserve, sledding, firepit, and hot tub!The bunk room had all the grandchildren excited and offered them a place of their own to watch tv and hang out together.The home was neat and tidy and ready for our visit. The crew that came to clear the parking lot and sidewalks after 7” of snow was greatly appreciated! Communication with our hosts was wonderful and extremely prompt! We would definitely consider staying again!

Winter fun

Wonderful location and amenities. Booked for middle of winter. Easily could’ve stayed inside the house the entire trip, tons of entertainment options. Best part was the acres of trail system in the backyard. So much fun!

Poorly completed renovations

Poorly completed renovations caused an upstairs shower to drain through the kitchen ceiling. A maintenace person was not readily available for a fix or inspection so we were unable to use that bath unit. While this did not make our stay uninhabitable no effort was made to adjust the price paid for our trip to make things right. No communication after initial discussion about not being able to send someone. Sent private review and heard nothing. Disappointing end to an otherwise fun couples trip. Location was great and layout for the property was nice. Renovations looked good but there were hidden issues. I would be cautious about booking again.

Great place!

Emily was very responsive to my questions prior to our stay. After we checked in we discovered the hot water wasn't working - Emily had someone there within an hour and fixed the problem. Great space for our family holiday gathering.

January Celebration

Beautiful home that offers all the qualities you would expect at home. Our hosts thought of EVERYTHING! We celebrated a milestone birthday - all women. We were pleased to have FIVE full bathrooms, a fully stocked coffee bar, every kitchen necessity possible (all good quality), plenty of linens/blankets, towels, paper goods, and they even provided full size pump bottles of shampoo/conditioner, and body wash in each shower! I have never seen this! Thank you for allowing us to be your guest!
