The House

The townhouse is located in a great location just off the Stowe Mountain Road in a complex of townhouses. It is a modern 4 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom townhouse with a fireplace and widescreen TV. It sleeps 8-12 people.

* In order to get such a low price for the high quality house we have, there is a black out period from 12/18/02 through 01/08/03.

Guest Notes
A guest here and there is fine but there really isn't enough room to accommodate frequent guests. Please consider this before bringing your friends up.

Guest fees of $60 per weekend, $30 per night. Shares always take priority to beds/sleeping spots. No guest to come up more than 2 weekends.

Important Note: No Weekend Swapping
Weekend swapping is not allowed. With a Partial share, you can come up as much as you like during your designated weekends but you can not swap weekends. You can NOT be at the house when it is not your weekend. Why? Having this the trading option makes this alternative too much like a Full Share. If you prefer the option, get the Full Share.

House Too Crowded
In reality, people just don't come up every weekend, which is factored into the house capacity equation. 

With 12 people coming up an estimated 60-70% of the time, that brings us to the max of 8-10 people. If Partial Share start swapping weekends, this figure is thrown off and the house becomes too crowded.

Fairness to Full Shares 
Options cost more. The Partial Share option gives you the luxury to come as much as you want during your designated time. It does not give you the option to come up other times. If you want that option, get a Full Share, which is all about having the luxury to come up anytime all season. Most full shares only come up 70% of the time so if a full share misses a weekend, the weekend is lost. The same should hold true for a Partial Share.

Too Much Management
It's hard enough to organize buying toilet paper. Trying to manage and enforce weekend swapping is just too much work.

FAQ - Why are the Partial Shares more than half the cost of a Full Share?
1) Life is about options. Getting the option of coming up less for less money. At DeAnglos, you don't pay 1/2 the price for a small sub even though its half the size of a large. 
2) More value....You get the option of coming up any weekday nite during the season as well as designated bonus weekends
3) Partial shares are more likely to come up more often during the nature of the option making the house more crowded. For instance, a partial share is more likely to come up 3 straight alternative weekends than a full share is to come up 3 consecutive weekends.
