Lovely stay

The property was lovely and just as described. There was plenty of space for three adults and a dog to spread out and not be on top of each other. My dog enjoyed the park that was about 100 yards down the road.

Clean and comfortable

Older home that sleeps up to 6. Bedroom and half bath in main floor. Loft bedroom and fill bath upstairs has a double bed and two twin beds. Very clean and quite comfortable for a weekend or extended stay. Convenient location just off the Main Street through Bethlehem, NH- easy drive to surrounding communities or popular attractions.

We had a nice visit

Bob was responsive and pleasant. Ideal, very quiet location walking distance to downtown Bethlehem and a short drive to many attractions. We were upgraded to the larger house, which was spacious and had everything we needed. It looked as though the carpets had not been cleaned recently, though the floors were clean-- probably just an oversight. Fortunately there was a vacuum in the house.

Nice mice

Quaint, charming but old with mouse droppings inevery drawer and cabinet in the kitchen. I loved the proximity to trails for my dogs. The house is extremely dark and need big upgrades in lighting. Linens stuffed in evey dresser drawer so no place to put guests clothing. Proerty manager swapped her VRBO property for our stay here, which we are grateful for. Extenuating circumstances are the apparent cause of the poor upkeep.

Total disappointment

This is a converted garage. It is falling apart. Tiles cracked, peeling paint, exposed wiring. The AC was one small window AC for the whole place. It sleeps 4 not six. Sheets were not changed. No privacy. We stayed one night out of our week booked. We booked a new rental it was that bad.

Bethlehem trip

The area is very nice , quiet and quaint . The listing does not accurately describe what you will get when you get there . It says it’s a cottage but really it’s just a converted garage space . The place with filthy , cobwebs everywhere , pieces of the ceiling falling off , the floors were sticky and when my kids walked in them barefoot their feet were black from the dirt . There was also an awful smell . The kitchen was dirty as wel and only had one pan to cook with . The cable was not connected and we had to reconnect the wires ourselves . The linens on the kitchen table were stained and obviously not laundered between guests. The bathroom was probably the worst part . It was really tight - you could barely fit on the toilet because it was smooshed between the wall and washer/ dryer . The floor was also dirty and the shower was disgusting . When I opened the curtain to let my son in to wash up there was hair on the wall and the floor was very dirty . While My husband was showering a piece of wood from above the shower fell off and landed on him . The owner came in on our first day there and cleaned the place however it’s just so bad that there was only so much that could be done .On a positive side the owners were very nice and accommodating and they tried to help us salvage what was turning out to be a bad vacation by allowing us to move to the larger property on their premises . This location was much nicer but still very dirty and not well kept .

Response from VrboOwner on 5 Oct 2022
Hi Cartier Family: I am glad Elm Brook was able to accommodate your needs immediately with an upgrade ( at no additional costs). Also that we were able to add additional cook ware ( realizing cookware was onsite in the drawers in the cabin) . Our hired cleaning staff was notified and all issues resolved. In the 10 years Elm Brook has been offering the property to the public- it's nice to see that we have only had 3 complaints- all of which get resolved immediately. We appreciated your nice family staying and "welcome" to your new family addition.

Cozy cottage in nice location

We enjoyed our stay at this nice cottage. You can walk up to restaurants and store easily. There is also a small trail right around the cottage which we found out later. You get to see fall colors right outside the property even if you don’t plan on the trail. The property owner was very helpful and considerate. He even suggested us a bunch of places to visit around the area for fall foliage. Definitely a cozy place to stay!

Great vacation house in a perfect location!

We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful vacation house. The location is perfect - walking distance to downtown Bethlehem (restaurants, playground, etc!) and a relatively short drive to attractions like the Flume Gorge, Santa's Village, and Mt Washington. We are already looking foward to returning next summer! Our host promptly and helpfully answered questions about local events. We felt right at home.

Had a great weekend away!

We had such an amazing time this weekend in New Hampshire. We were able to stay in the Main House which was much more space then we thought we were going to have. The home is beautiful and has so much character. It had an amazing homey feeling which was great after a long scary drive in the bad weather. It was the perfect location to see the Ice Castles and to do some skiing at Loon. My sister and her boyfriend found a great hiking spot and took their dogs out hiking. The hosts were very responsive and made sure that everything was taken care of. We truly had a great weekend and loved staying here. We will absolutely be back :)

Perfect getaway in NH

Although we booked a smaller space, the owner upgraded us to an absolutely lovely 2-bedroom house, nicely decorated, with all the comforts of home, plus a few more. It was clean, spacious, well-lit, and near just about anything we could possibly need (including a few nice paths for walking the dog).
