Fantastic stay for the second time! House is great, we had two families and there is plenty of room to spread out for movies and meals! Owner is incredibly responsive as we dealt with two snowstorms, and we communicated the whole time. Will stay here again in the future!

Beautiful home with everything you could need for your stay.25 minutes from Waterville Valley ski resort, which is where we spent most of our time.We also enjoyed downtown Littleton and a new restaurant restaurant called Baltic kitchen that we will highly recommend.Everything was wonderful, uncomfortable, and the host even made it easy for us to use the fireplace by ensuring that we had proper kindling.The Vrbo host was very communicative.I would highly recommend and we’ll be staying again next year.

Perfection!

We loved staying here! Close to the mountains for skiing (or hiking/kayaking) , and close enough for area shopping and dining. Our family loved the large gathering area and table for playing games. This is a GREAT place to stay for families. Well equipped and beautifully decorated and maintained.

Host was extremely welcoming & communicative. Home was beautiful & loved the fireplace. Had issues getting up the driveway due to ice/snow, may have been timing of our stay & weather. Cleanliness of home was average.

Awesome getaway!

Jon was a great host and a pleasure to rent through. The house has a cabin feel, with a grand layout. Plenty of room for everyone and well away from the bustle of the ski areas. We enjoyed our stay and hope to stay here again.

Ski vacation

We loved staying at Jon’s house. It was perfect for our 2 families! Lots of space to spread out with a very cozy feel. We skied Waterville Valley which was close by. We loved the kitchen and all it had to offer. It was nicely stocked which made cooking meals a breeze. We would absolutely stay again!

Near Waterville Valley Ski Resort

My family and I had an amazing stay at this home. Jonathan was a wonderful host, easy to reach and consistently checked in to be sure everything was okay since we were there during a winter storm. The home was spacious and so clean. My kids loved the loft and the games in the basement. We would definitely consider staying there again when we are visiting the area!

Beautiful house

We were in town for a wedding. Would love to come back to the area and stay here for a vacation. The house is clean, comfortable and spacious. The property is set back and feels secluded without actually being secluded. activities, dinner and shopping are very close. I highly recommend this house.

Beautiful house

Gorgeous house! Roomy and comfortable, airy and light (even on a series of rainy days it was cheerful inside). My family had plenty of space to spread out and the kitchen was large and very well equipped. Great location close to everything, from adventures in Lincoln to driving the Kanc to excellent dining options both north and south. Jonathan was a super host, very responsive to any questions we had. Highly recommend!
