We stayed at Brett’s house for a quick trip to Loon Mountain which is less than a 5 minute drive. The house was easy to get into, clean, and recently renovated. The house had lots of fun games for the kids and we enjoyed the hot tub. We really enjoyed our stay and can’t wait to go back.

Thank you for staying with us, Robin! It was our pleasure to host you!
Wow!! What an amazing vacation home to stay at!! Much more grand than on the listing! It is impeccably clean and fresh! Amazing views of the mountains all around and its located on a very private street. The game room was so cozy and fun, truly unforgettable! We also enjoyed the beautifully big backyard, hammock and fire pit included! We loved every minute spent at your luxury place and brought so much joy to my children! We hope to be back next summer!
Brett’s house was outstanding! Definitely a repeat:)
Beautifully clean and welcoming, very tastefully decorated and smartly thought out.
The game room was amazing, bikes were a great bonus, we loved the fire pit and loved the hot tub!
Brett was very responsive, helpful and pleasant to deal with and thought of every detail including a bike pump:)
I would give it 10 star review:)

Thank you Malky! It was a pleasure to host you and your family. Take care and see you next year.
Nous avons adoré notre voyage de ski avec le Mont Loon à quelques minutes et la propreté de l’endroit. Coup de coeur pour l’endroit dédié aux jeux et écran pour écouter des films (Gaming room!).

About the host
Hosted by Brett Owen
Active professional who grew up on the CT shoreline. I love to travel and NH is one of my favorite spots. I love the hospitality business, so I host my own properties so that others can enjoy them as well.
Why they chose this property
This is a unique home in the center of Lincoln, which is hard to find these days. Almost impossible to find a large yard like this so close to the center. It was thoughtfully designed and decorated to provide a great experience in this wonderful area.
What makes this property unique
The proximity and views of the mountains along with the privacy of your own yard is what draws me here.
