AWEWSOME !!
This was a dream Vacation for us. We loved the Brooke and rocks to hang out on. The out door flower gardens are so pretty. We made a lot of memories. The living area is very comfortable. The master bath is huge. The kitchen has a smaller refrigerator for drinks if needed. I will and would book again.

Ride, Rest and Unwind.
For the past 30 years, we have traveling to New Hampshire for Laconia Bike week. This is the first time we decided to rent a VRBO. The property was amazing and set in a great location to travel to any destination. Coffee in the morning out back, listening to the brook set the mood for the day. The home has everything you will need to enjoy your time here. Our Thanks to the hosts.

About the host

My husband Akash and I work and live in MA with our two very active young kids. Our son snowboards and our daughter likes to ski. We enjoy the outdoors. We love our house in Thornton, NH that we lovingly call “The Cottage on the Brook” very much, but cannot be there as much as we like. Hence, we decided to share it with others. We do hope that folks enjoy it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

Every year for the past several years we have vacationed in and around North Conway and Lincoln, NH. Our son took to snowboarding and our daughter is getting good at Skiing. Hence, we decided to get our own place in the beautiful White Mountains. The drive to North Conway was a little longer than we wanted, so we started checking out places around Lincoln and Woodstock.
Unbelievable but true, we were in the area to check out two other homes. This was not on our list. Our agent brought our attention to this property, urged us to go see it and was able to schedule a visit for us.
We wanted something special in our vacation home but could not quite put a finger on it, until we saw this beautiful house. Shall we say the rest is history? #Unbelievable, #Thankful!!

What makes this property unique

Brook in the backyard!! Not just the first time but every time we enter our house, our jaws drop when we see the view of our backyard from the wall of glass that pans the living room and kitchen area; rain, shine or snow. Every room offers picturesque views and the soothing sound of flowing water instantly relaxes. Feels surreal, as if in a beautiful canvas wall art. The brook does freeze over in the winter and it is magical.
Thornton, NH is a very quaint little town, away from the hustle bustle yet close to it all. Over the past year, in addition to furnishing and decorating the place, we have enjoyed snow sports as well as some very nice hikes in the region. Last but not the least the food and the folks around here are amazing.
