Nice weekend getaway

We went up for a winter fun/ski weekend. The property had everything we needed. It was about 20 minutes from everything we were doing (skiing, ice castles, tubing) which was fine for us. We didn’t end up using the pool/hot tub close by but it was nice to have the option. The downstairs was great for all the kids. They loved having their own space. The house is well kept and it was nice that linens were provided. The owners were very thorough with their communication. We would definitely stay here again!

Cozy and clean

My family of 10 stayed here during Christmas time. In our group were 4 adults, teens and young kids. There is something for everyone! The kids loved downstairs for playing games and the adults were able to enjoy upstairs. The community center has a pool, it’s not that warm but the kids had fun. There is also a jacuzzi and a small arcade room. Waterville resort is very close by. You can ski, snowboard, go tubing, and more. Great location! Very clean and cozy! 10/10

Great Mountain Getaway

The house was so comfortable and cozy yet spacious for our two families. The basement was the perfect hang-out and sleeping space for the kids. The property is well-maintained and had everything we needed. And, the location could not be more convenient for skiing and other outdoor winter activities.

Great mountain getaway!

We have stayed in several rentals over the years and this home is easily one of the best! Extremely clean rental from top to bottom. The updates are really nice, the kitchen has everything you need, the owners are great to work with and easy to reach. The kids loved the basement space and the main level had plenty of space for all of us. The overall condition of this home is excellent! I'd give it 6-stars if I could, we'll be back!

Awesome place for families

Chris and Mary are so easy to work with. And once we checked in, it was evident that they took care of this place with love. Nice little touches throughout the house: extra coffee, well-stocked kids bowls and utensils. Easy access to loon and Waterville valley. We will be back.

Great family getaway

The house was so well stocked with all the things we needed and very comfortable for 9 of us. The community center was fun and a nice walk. Local hiking trails east to follow and enjoyed by all. Surprisingly not buggy at all in the trails. We took a drive to Lake Winnipesaukee (~45 min) and rented kayaks, made a day out of it - worth the drive! Great area and we are sure to visit again. Definitely recommend this house. Owners were great at being accommodating and responsive with communications.

Location and Amenities

What a fantastic vacation destination despite rainy cool spring weather! We were so close to all sorts of outdoor activities (like hiking in the White Mountains National Forest, the Squam Lake Science Center, and Franconia Notch State Park, and on the property was the firepit for s’mores and deck to enjoy a coffee or eat) and had many indoor activities when the weather was rough (games at the house for kids and adults, and all of the pools and arcade at the community center). However be forewarned- the indoor pools were on the chilly side even though they are heated, not the owner’s fault, probably because it was early June and not a lot of visitors were there yet. We had a few minor issues pop up during our stay but the owners were quick to respond and helpful in resolving them. We will definitely be back again soon! Thanks again guys!
