Property Description
Decorated with decades of history and memorabilia, the Firehouse was built in 2004 by firefighter enthusiast John Cullen. We created spaces to offer a unique vacation experience. With 5 BRs and a bunkroom this home sleeps 16. Perfect for multi-gen families and groups of friends to get away together. The garage was converted into an enormous 1600 sf’ game room to entertain through the seasons.
In our opinion this house is one of the most unique properties you will find in the area. The multiple open spaces offer room to spread out yet plenty of cozy seating to spend quality time together.
Sitting in front of the gas fireplace is a restful spot on cold winter nights or after a fun day of skiing. During the warmer seasons spend time on the back patio with a grill and a back yard with outdoor games and a fire pit.
The Firehouse’s amazing game room, converting the oversized garage area to include large dinning room with a wet bar, fully equipped with full fridge, ice maker and sink for easy clean up. Games include a pool table, table top shuffleboard, ping pong, skee-ball and more.
Let the chef of the group prepare a nice home cooked meal with a fully functioning kitchen with all the pots, pans and utensils provided for you. Kitchen is on the first floor along with a bedroom with a queen bed. The upstairs space has six twin beds and a full bath in the loft. Next is a large common space including a sitting area with lots of board games, and a living area with a large smart TV. Two additional bedrooms are through the loft with a queen bed in each. Two more bedrooms with queen beds located in the newly finished Basement . Finally, hike through the back of the property to the Mad River (adventures types only please).About pets:No pets allowed.About checkOut:Check out before 11:00 AM.About children:Children allowed: ages 0-17.About checkIn:Check in after 4:00 PM.About smoking:Smoking is not permitted.About minBookingAge:Minimum age to rent: 21.About events:Events allowed: family gatherings, birthday parties, weddings.Maximum event attendees: 16.

Our kids had a ton of fun in the garage area playing games. The open room with 6 twin beds was perfect for our group of kids as well. House is large with multiple “family rooms” to get away if needed.

Quiet neighborhood
Checkin went smooth. Wifi info was easy to find and we needed it. Verizon service was very little. We had plenty of kitchen items to cook dinner every night. The grill worked well too. We had campfires every night and the unit had so many games to play. Everyone had a good time.

Great Getaway In The North Country

Family celebrating a 50th and 21st birthday
We had an amazing time at this Firehouse themed VRBO. The memorabilia was awesome such an amazing collection! The house is huge! So much more space than anticipated. The huge 16 person table in the game room was perfect so we could all eat our meals together. The fire pole from the second floor was a huge hit with the kids and adults, we had an amazing time with family game tournaments with the pool table, ping pong, skeeball, basketball, shuffle board and air hockey. The house was clean and the beds were comfortable and plentiful! The 3rd bathroom in the basement was a welcome surprise. We will definitely come back.

Disappointing weekend
Pros:
-Large space that can fit three families
-Comfortable beds and sheets
-Fun games
Cons:
-Way too hot for summer visits. No AC and not nearly enough fans to cool the home. Fans didn't work in game room.
-Dirty...very dirty. The floors were cleaned and the beds all had clean sheets, but beyond that, not much cleaning was done at all. We found mold in two coffee makers, trash left in cans with no bags in them, dirty glasses in the cupboard, soap scum in both showers, lots of dust, a mystery puddle of liquid under a bed, toys all over the place. The cleaning fee seems absurd based on this.
-Personal items/clutter EVERYWHERE. The game room is literally piled high with random things like a new toilet seat, bags of salt, a copy machine, someone's swimming trunks, an engraved briefcase, etc. Bathrooms are packed with personal items, no room to put our things in showers or on sinks.
-In the game room our children found fire axes in a huge pile of real fire uniforms. We were grateful none of our children were too young or too crazy to make that a dangerous situation.
-Broken grill that we had to reassemble and scrub clean to use
-Wires hanging out of walls
The owner responded to messages fairly quickly but asked us to do the work- clean the coffee pot, fix the grill, etc. We spent as little time inside the house as we possibly could because it was quite uncomfortable for everyone.
