Fantastic Location

Seven month ago I planned a wonderful ski trip to North Jersey while awaiting the arrival of my parents from Poland. Much to my surprise, this was the warmest December on record and there was no snow. However, the mountains, lakes, accommodations, service and simply being with my family, met all my expectations. The Apartment that I rented was beautiful. The view from the apartment was absolutely stunning. It is centrally located to great dining and historic touring. The owner of the rental was as gracious as he could have been and what turned out to not be a ski trip at all, gave way to a wonderful vacation.

Good bones but disappointing

We enjoyed our stay. The proximity to the pool, hot tub and walking trails and neighborhood in general was very nice. Going up to the actual unit The dryer vent was totally clogged outside and looks like it hasn't been cleaned in years. The welcome mat was very dirty and exterior by front door very dirty. When you go into the place, the bones of the place are very nice and the paint was very pretty. The bathrooms have been updated so they are nice. However, the mattresses were very uncomfortable. Both bedrooms can use new comforters as well as new mattresses. The washing machine is extremely loud & sounds like a plane taking off. The towels and bath mat downstairs were old and dirty. There is nowhere to sit outside on the deck. It would've been nice to be able to sit outside and enjoy the view. The interior furniture downstairs is old and dated, and needs to be replaced in our opinion. We had a nice time overall enjoyed the pool and hot tub. The neighborhood was very pretty but this unit needs some cleaning & updates.

NYE at Mountain Creek Vernon

The entry passcode to the property was incorrect. There was no quick way (no phone number) to contact property owner or manager. Fortunately, property rep. showed up at the gate and gave us the correct code.
