About this property

Ski & hike White Mt Natl Forest! Minutes from Waterville Valley, Loon & more

Welcome to our mountain hideaway! Quiet and nestled in the White Mts of New Hampshire, it’s located just a few miles off I-93, minutes from ski resorts, hiking trails, and lovely lakes for paddling and fishing. Waterville Valley resort is 6 miles away; Loon, Tenney Mt, Gunstock, Cannon Mts and other ski resorts within 45 minutes or less. Walk to Welch-Dickey trailhead and experience a strenuous but “must do” hike with beautiful views of granite outcropping. A short walk to the loops of Smartsbrook Trail. Within 30-45 minute drive from Woodstock, the challenging Franconia Notch and Kancamagus Hwy, explore Echo Lake, Artist Bluff, Bald Mt, or find the bike trail that intersects the Appalachian Trail.

At the condo, enter through the door using a keypad (contact-less check-in). The main floor has a loaded upgraded kitchen, snack bar, dining area, living room with leather furniture and plenty of visiting space, and deck overlooking wooded backyard. Families can enjoy board games, puzzles and card games (provided) in the living room. Sofa/ chaise lounge converts to an extra twin size bed. TV is located over the fireplace and Roku gives access to many apps. Use your own Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu login to access these types of apps. Local news, weather, etc. are available. Internet/WiFi passwords are provided.

Kitchen has black “ leather texture” granite countertops, soft close cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and plenty of utensils, dishes, cookware, glassware for entertaining or family meals. Dining room table has 4 chairs that expands to seat 6 (2 additional chairs at snack bar). Table linens are located in cabinet below table top.

Sit on the quiet back deck overlooking a wooded area with your morning coffee listening to the birds. Coffee service includes Cuisinart drip coffee or Keurig K-cup (both types of coffee plus tea provided). All necessary cleaning products, dishwasher soap, dish detergent and paper products are provided.

The upper floor has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms plus laundry room. Laundry soap, shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, and bar soap provided. And of course, all towels and bed linens.
In the master bedroom, sink into a cozy Memory Foam mattress that adjusts to your shape. Extra pillows and blankets provided. Warm your towels in the towel warmer (stored in the bathroom cupboard) for use after shower. Let us know if you prefer cool cotton or cozy flannel linens and we’ll have the beds ready for you!

During the warmer months, the pool is open for swimming (at your own risk) towards the back of the townhome complex. My grandsons loved riding bikes to the field and climbing the apple trees across from the pool (sounds corny, but this is “ for real”!)

I, the owner, send you directions and keypad code a few days prior to arrival and often, early entry and late checkout are available. I also send a few more photos so that you recognize the driveway turn, the unit and which door to enter. Inside is a notebook loaded with local emergency contact info, local area restaurant menus (with recommendations from me!), notes on where to rent ski equipment, brochures on “Things to do” in the area for all ages and the like. It’s a lovely area, quiet and yet, just 6 miles from Waterville Valley where there is wonderful skiing, hiking and places to explore.

NOTE: both bedrooms and both bathrooms are on upper floor and require the use of stairs to access which may be difficult if you have limited mobility (stair handrails are available however).

It’s an honor to be sharing my place with you,
Blessings,
Donna

About the host

Host profile image
Thank you for looking at my listing. I love the mountains and am happy to share my mountain home with you. I purchased it to be closer to my daughter and her family who live in Plymouth NH. While my primary residence is outside Buffalo near Niagara Falls, I frequently visit with my grandsons and enjoy hiking and skiing with them, especially at Loon and Waterville Valley.
Fall is lovely here- the leaves turn vivid colors and can be seen while hiking or just walk around the condo property. So this is the perfect spot for family fun and outdoor activities any season.

Why they chose this property

Why did I buy THIS property? After looking in the South where my son lives, I prayed the dear Lord would open the door wide, letting me know where to buy a rental property, one where I could enjoy, that I would want to share with my family and friends, and one close to either of my adult children and my grandchildren. After diligently searching, this condo was an obvious answer to prayer. I loved the upgraded kitchen with soft- close cabinets, the black “ leather-texture” countertops and large living room. Once you enter the main foyer, the condo is up a few stairs. Keypad codes are used for both doors with unique easy to remember codes.
It is spacious, contemporary yet cozy. I hope you enjoy as well!

What makes this property unique

Quiet, nestled in the wooded White Mts
Close to numerous ski resorts
Close to many hiking and big trails, walking distance to Welch-Dickey trailhead and 1/2 mile from Smartsbrook trailhead.
