This was the second time we stayed at this home this year. We are from Maine, but love the NH mountains. Each time we have stayed, they home has been clean, cozy, relaxing, just a total home-away-from-home vibe. The fact that it is dog-friendly and we can bring the furkids makes a world of difference. The yard is large enough for them to run and play, the location is set back from any major roads. It's just perfect. We can't wait to come back in the spring!

Quiet and small good for crashing. Unfortunately we found the beds uncomfortable and there was mold in the ACs so we could not use them. We ended up leaving a day early because we could not sleep. But again for the price it was to be expected.

A slice of heaven.

My experience with VRBO and Vacasa was seamless from start to finish. The property exceeded our expectations and Vacasa was so prompt in responding to any questions I had. The home was spacious, cozy and charming. We could tell it was very loved and cared for. My wife and I drove up from Boston and the location was perfect for us since we were spending most of our time hiking in the Notch which was a 10 min drive. We brought our dog and she was loving it. The house is dog friendly and had everything we needed. It was also super clean! Down the road in Franconia you’ll find a great market, an awesome coffee shop and some yummy restaurants. There is also Fox Hill Park for nearby hiking. We had the best week and can’t wait to come back!

Would definitely stay again!

This house was perfect! It was very close to hiking, many other outdoor activities, Mt Washington, good restaurants, and a very nice grocery store. The house did smell a little of moth balls as mentioned in other reviews, but once the doors were open and we had fans running, you didn’t smell it at all! The kitchen is beautiful and had everything we needed and then some. We highly recommend and are definitely planning to stay at this place again!

The perfect get away!

I took my grown daughters on a long weekend trip to explore Franconia Notch. This home was perfect...clean, comfortable, plenty of space, a well equipped kitchen to cook dinners and enjoy time together! We could see the mountains peeking over the trees for morning coffee. We found some great spots to get into the mountains for hiking within a half hour drive. I look forward to coming back sometime soon! Thank you!!

Week Away

Nice house in good location and very clean. It was great to be right by a park, market, and ice cream shop with the kids. The house was ready early so we got to check in early which worked out great, thanks vascaa for that. Only negative was the living room/kitchen was really warm without ac no matter the time of day or weather unfortunately. Othet than that tho we enjoyed it.

Perfect pad to explore the Whites

Lovely little cabin not too far from I-93, super convenient for those looking to bag a few peaks or just explore the area. Super quiet and relaxing, too. Property has had some nice little upgrades and feels homey, with all the commodities. Only thing I would improve are the mattresses but everyone was still able to get a nice rest so I guess it’s alright. Franconia is a quaint little town with all the basic stuff but you’ll want to either head down to Woodstock or up to Littleton to get more options. We’ll definitely be back!

Great place to stay!

I just finished a 5 night stay with my family (total 4 adults and 1 child). We loved the location - proximity to Franconia Notch attractions is great (Basin, Flume Gorge, Artist Bluff trail, Echo Lake Beach - which is amazing, btw!) As others have mentioned, the smell of mothballs is strong when you first enter, but we barely noticed throughout the rest of our stay. The kitchen is well-stocked with cookware, utensils, plates, etc. The TV instructions seem out-of-date; there is a Roku TV with streaming capability, but no regular cable. The lower-level bed is more comfortable than the second level. AC units in the windows were AMAZING during the 90+ heatwave we had last week. Well-stocked with simple children's toys and many books; our 2-year old happily spent all week reading and playing with the provided books and toys instead of his own. Thank you for providing a safe and clean space for our vacation!

Franconia Fun

Great location for all the adventures! Also a very scenic area. We stayed during a hot week so we kept the blinds closed to keep the house cool. We tripped the circuit breaker with running all of the window AC units to cool the house, but my boyfriend braved going into the remote crawl space in the furthest part of the basement which was accessible only by going outside during a thunderstorm. Of course, I tripped it again but fortunately realized which light switch did it then. They did offer to send someone out, very responsive, but we just didn't turn on the light that would trip it. Also fortunately we had options because it has 3 nice size bedrooms and it was just the two of us. It was comfortable and had what we needed for a great stay! We did see a Black bear in the area which was really exciting! It was timid so we knew it would run off once we made a little noise. It was such a great town too and beautiful area! Franconia Notch State Park is incredible! Looking forward to coming back some day soon!

Was just ok. Needs updating

First, the good. The view definitely looked better online but it was nice to sit and drink a cup of coffee on the deck looking at the mountains. The beds were comfortable and they had enough towel sets for multiple days. They leave you with a wine opener and deck of cards which I thought was a nice touch. I wish they put that money towards real paper towels and a bottle of some cleaning spray. The house was decent but needs a few things. Why I personally wouldn’t stay there again. During the pandemic I feel as though the top blankets should be clean. They were not. I did laundry for the first 4 hours of being there. Also, dishes and glasses were dirty so I went and bought paper and plastic to be safe. The grill had chicken on it from the previous renters and The propane would not turn on. The jogger going by as I struggled with it for a while even tried to help. Broken. The house was super dark at night and it was hard to eat dinner at the table. They need more lighting for sure. Also the Mountain View window should be cleaned between renters. There was finger prints all over the glass. No cleaning products to be found except a couple of really old dirty looking bottles under the sink. I went and got everything I needed for the house including paper towels because the ones they had fell apart with water. The house smells of moth balls really bad. I couldn’t stop sneezing in the laundry area especially. The worst part- every morning we got up for sunrise except Tuesday which was our day to sleep in. It was so hot in the house so we left the windows open. We were woken up at 8am by a very loud lawn mower and dirt blowing in the windows. So that was fun. With the lack of light in the family room and lack of things to do it would be nice if they had a fire pit so there is something for families after dark. Just my opinion. I called shorty after to ask if we can check out an hour later so we can grab our stuff after the hike and they said no. 10am is a pretty early check out, especially with a late 4pm check in. I could understand if they were deep cleaning everything but that was not the case at all. Anyways, I won’t stay here again. However, it’s not unmanageable for a short stay. Bring cleaning products with you! :)
