    Camera we found INSIDE the house! Super Creepy!!
    Tim W.

    Hidden camera - Customers beware!! We found a hidden camera / recording device INSIDE the rental house!!! Unethical, unprofessional, uncaring company!!! I will try to keep this saga as short as possible... We rented a vacation home from this company for 3 nights while on our Fall Foliage road trip. On day 2 we discovered a camera downstairs- up in the corner of the room. This hidden camera was NOT disclosed to us before we rented this home. We would NEVER rent a home with a camera inside the home! Not sure this is even legal!? We were instantly creeped out when we spotted the camera. We have stayed in 100's of vacation rentals across the country and never found anything like this!! The wire powering the camera goes into a locked room with a big sign on the door that reads "Authorized Personnel Only"! Even more creepy- most places will post "owner's storage" or something like that. After finding the camera we were instantly grossed out and wondering if there are other hidden cameras in the house!? Are they recording us? Listening to us? Are there a bunch of TV screens in that locked storage room downstairs!? We decided to wait until we left the next day to complain and report this camera. We didn't want anyone coming there while we were there. It's creepy since the front door lock is a keypad so who knows how many people have the code to open the front door. There is no way to double lock it when you are sleeping at night. After we checked out I immediately reported the camera to Stowe Country Homes. I requested a refund. I was immediately told "Internal cameras are prohibited in our properties. We are sending someone over immediately to investigate and see if it is a live camera". I didn't hear anything back from them so I emailed the following day and then I was told the camera is "live" and the homeowners did not think they needed to disclose it". Really!? WTH!? They offered to refund me 1 night. I told them I wanted a full refund, not just 1 night. I also asked if the camera was recording voice as well (I never got an answer to that). Six days later I got an email from Melissa Sheffer, Property Operations Manager at Stowe Country Homes. Melissa tells me that the max they can refund is 1 night. I emailed her back to ask how she would feel if she walked downstairs not fully dressed and later found out she was recorded on camera while on vacation!! I again asked for a full refund. Later that day Melissa responded by email to tell me they have retracted the offer and would not be offering us any refund at all- zero! I guess I upset her! LOL, she was going to punish us now by not refunding anything! I then told Melissa that she seems mad at me for reporting the camera issue. I thought she should be thanking us for reporting this since it's "prohibited" at her company and all. She then replied one more time with this, and I quote "Even greater than our customer service, is our integrity. We also value honesty. And we are deeply invested in the welfare and well-being of others". OMG - it's comical......And so ironic. Schooling me about her company's "integrity" and "welfare of others". After doing the complete opposite!! She really said "integrity"! OMG- hilarious! So basically- steer clear of this company and rent from a reputable company- look at Vacasa or VRBO. Just not this company! . This place is super sketchy!

    A house of horrors does not always mean ghosts, witches, and goblins. We had our own house of horrors in Stowe, VT. It seemed like a great idea. A cabin in the woods. Near a stream for fishing. With a deck and an outdoor jacuzzi. We got there late at night and started to settle in. There were tons of bugs in the place and we all started to get bitten up. It was also very hot and tried to turn on the air conditioning with no luck. We called the handyman who checked it out and found that there was no air conditioning. While he was still there we pulled out the bed from the pull out sofa. The mattress was extremely soiled. We turned it over and there was some type of crap underneath the bed. The handyman said it was dog food. I did not get close enough to check if was really dog food. I can't imagine why dog food would be at the bottom of a sofa. I think it was probably some real animal crap. Totally disgusting and unacceptable! Stowe Country Homes does not own this home. They are just the agent that rents it out. However, I do feel they should be aware of the type of place they are renting. Make sure potential renters know they are renting a house without air conditioning in the middle of summer. Most important, make sure the the places that you are renting are clean and not bug infested! I did add an extra star for Stowe Country Homes because when we told them we were not staying for our committed time, they did not protest. In fact owner of the property charged us an extra night as a penalty but Stowe Country Homes took away all taxes and fees to make up for the penalty. We had paid in advance so we were lucky to get most of out money back. Still, it was not easy finding another hotel st such short notice. It ended up being a very pricey option, but it was worth it to get out of that hell hole.

    I have owned my second home in Stowe for nearly 2 years. We contracted Yankee home solutions for…read moreour property management because the person we bought the home from used Yankee for some services. We have been nothing but completely satisfied with their services! They can be counted on to come on a regular basis to the house for checkups and trash removal, The snow is always plowed and the walkway always shoveled, the lawn is always mowed, they respond quickly to any emergencies that come up, and have even gone back and mailed my daughter's retainers home. They have also met contractors to have regular maintenance items completed. All in all Yankee home solutions has made second home ownership a breeze for us!

    I found out the hard way that this company is dishonest and mismanaged…read more I bought a home in the area and Yankee Home Solutions was contracted by the seller to reveal the septic tank and remove some leftover items from the home prior to closing, but leave the items the seller had clearly marked as "to remain for the buyer." The septic work appears to be in good standing except that the cable line was cut and then reburried below grade without a word of warning. My biggest problem is that they removed a surf board and a custom framed photograph that hung above the mantle of the fire place from the residence without permission. When they were contacted about the missing property they dragged their feet in replying. I finally had to personally confront the owner, AJ Shinner. He said: "Oh, an employee probably took them by accident and we've had some lawn sales since then and, well, I can t find it..." Beware, this company is not accountable for its actions and is not willing to accept responsibility for the errors and/or misbehavior of its employees.

Mountain View Property Services also builds decks under their decks and patios tab, which you can view here. https://www.mtnviewservices.com/deckspatios, and this is how I found them. My online consultation was great, and generally speaking the design aspect went well until it came time for material samples and timelines. That was when they stopped communicating, responding to emails, phone calls, or text messages. After my deck was demolished, they basically vanished, and after almost 2 months of no work being perform I had to terminate my contract, request my money back, and start over with a new contractor. Very unpleasant experience, and the owner has deferred any responsibility to this day.

Let's just say we moved in to a not so up to par apartment, but we moved out and left it 100x better than we found it. Promised to fixing things and never did or it would take constant calls and texts for him to come; those projects were never full finished. We made sure we would get our security deposit back, as my partner cleans and repairs housing so we knew exactly how to fix any small issues from normal wear and tear. It has now been 24 days since we moved out, I notified him on the 31st that we had moved out and cleaned. According to Vermont state law, he has 14 days to provide me with a statement of why he is not paying, or a check-- he has done neither. Multiple attempts via email,texts and phone and no response... DO NOT PURCHASE/RENT ANY PROPERTY FROM MICAH PAROLINE OR HIS COMPANY.
