About this property

Luxury mountain home near Owl’s Nest and Waterville Valley

Custom built luxury mountain home built in 2008 situated in the White Mountains just off Route 93N halfway between Woodstock and Waterville Valley.

Beaches and swimming areas are not far away at Mirror Lake (3 miles), Waterville Valley Village Beach (10 miles), Staple Rock Park (3 miles) and Russell Pond. Hit some balls at the Sugar Shack driving range just down the road or the Owl's Nest just a few miles from the house. Visit the college town, Plymouth, just 20 mins South for bars and restaurants that are off the tourist map. Venture South on Rte. 175 to Holderness to visit Squam Lake ("On Golden Pond") by sunset nature cruise or North to Woodstock to see the Clark's bears and the wolfman. Just 20 mins North and you'll be in Franconia Notch State Park, where you can see the Basin and Flume Gorge or take the Cannon Aerial Tramway to the 4080' summit overlooking Franconia Ridge and beyond.

House is on a paved road and conveniently located near grocery store, brewery and restaurants, just 3.5 miles from Campton Village. House features include a 17' x 30' great room with vaulted ceilings and massive 16 foot fieldstone fireplace. Large bay windows and front deck have views of Blake Mountain to the West through a grove of tall hemlock pines. There's also a game room in the basement and loft above the family room for the kids.

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.

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!

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

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!
