Beautiful view. Large home with three floors of living space so we could spread out. Nearby beach was very nice. Loved sitting on rear deck reading. Little ones liked the game table.

Thank you for the wonderful feedback! We're so glad the view lived up to expectations and that having three floors of living space gave everyone room to spread out. It's great to hear the rear deck made for good reading time and that the little ones enjoyed the game table. The nearby beach really is a favorite spot for our guests too. We appreciate you sharing your experience!

We were here for a ski race and the place was perfect. So close to the mountain and has all the amenities you could ask for. The beds are comfy the showers were clean and the views were unbelievable! Would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area

The home was overall clean and an overall beautiful home particularly the master bed and bathroom- the view of the lake and mountains was priceless - We have stayed as a group for several years in NH and have come to expect certain amenities for our money- little details mean a lot to us- The home does have AC but was not easily controlled w unpredictable temperature and seemingly unable to be managed after 11:30 pm causing it to become very hot overnight .A house of this caliber needs to have a working washing machine and dryer prior to the guests arrival- we depend on ability to wash beach towels , bathing suits etc. The trundle mattress had hair on it making it unappealing to use- beds in this trundle room only had fitted sheet w flat sheets left to guest to put on- towels were at a minimum and there were no tissues in the home- there was trash left in the garage barrels prior to our arrival- the house also lacked in kitchen supplies such as a keurig-outlets onouter kitchen wall did not work. These details make a huge difference in a vacation and make the stay more enjoyable - thank you!!

Thank you for the kind words about the home, especially the master suite and that lake and mountain view. The A/C is set up with separate heat-only and A/C thermostats upstairs, clearly marked, so once the correct one is used it maintains temperature well. The washing machine unfortunately stopped working the day of your arrival, which didn't leave time to get a replacement installed before check-in, though the dryer was working throughout your stay. We're sorry to hear about the trundle mattress and have shared that with our cleaning team to make sure bedding is thoroughly checked going forward. We appreciate the detailed feedback and will use it to keep improving the little details that make a stay more enjoyable.
