Vacation Rentals by Owner

I recently (Mar 1-5, 2010) stayed here with my family of six and my parents, while we were skiing at Cannon, Loon, Waterville and Tenney. The unit was centrally located and the White Mountains had just received 30+ inches of fresh snow, so the location and skiing were ideal. After a day of skiing the kids really appreciated coming back to the resort to spend some time in the pool/hot tub, which we had entirely to ourselves each night. The pool area is newly redone and is a fantastic facility. The layout of the condo worked out great for us, i.e. the four kids slept in the upstairs area (with room to spare) and the adults were on the main level. Overall, we had a great time and hope to return.

Too often I come home from vacation grumpy and tired from the hustle & bustle! This time we returned happy, rested and wanting more. We could only stay for 3 nights but wished it were longer. Our group of 6 had more than enough room to spread out. All the comforts of home made this such an enjoyable trip. The hot tub saved us after long days of skiing. Having laundry in the unit made packing lighter too. So close to the mountains, shopping and dining! Thanks for a great trip & we will be back again!!

We stayed at the property with some freinds February 12-15th 2010. The unit is terrific for two families. The bedroom and bathroom situation was perfect for our group. The unit is cozy and clean - we will be back.

My family and I stayed in Unit 15. It was exceptionally clean and true to the pictures. Great location right off the highway and 10 minutes to Loon. Plenty of space. I look forward to a return stay in the future.

We were very pleased with our stay in Unit 15. It was open, bright, private and quiet. The beds were comfortable; the kitchen was good to work in and well stocked (even some nice surprises that previous guests probably left) which came in handy. We liked that there was a full-service grocery store nearby in Lincoln. It's a lovely area, 10 minutes from the Kancamangus Highway. We would definitely stay here again. It was our first experience with VRBO and we were pleased with the experience.

ANOTHER GREAT YEAR AT THE JACK O LANTERN! THE WEATHER WAS AWESOME FOR RIDING OUR MOTORCYCLES. THE NEW POOL & JACUZZI WERE VERY NICE. LOVED THE FACT THAT WE DIDNT HAVE TO EAT OUT ALL THE TIME AND COULD COOK IN IF WE WANTED. THANKS AGAIN! THE EDWARDS & FRIENDS

Thank you for letting us rent your townhouse for the week - we had a great time - the weather was beautiful. The place had plenty of room and was nice a quiet. The pools were great!! Nice place for the kids to ride their scooters. Had a great time at Whales Tales and Cannon Mt which was not to far.

Extremely convenient location - right off 93. Very comfortable accomodations especially for us because we brought my parents who could stay in the master suite but have access to the whole place. We love to golf so being right on the course is a bonus without having to pack up the car and drive to the course.

We just finished our fun filled week at your condo and we had a great time. We invited my 2 sisters and husbands up for a 2 day golf tournament right at the JOL golf course.When they left my kids and grandkids arrived for the rest of the week. We did all the great kids stuff, Storyland, Mini-golf, and lots of swimming in the pool. The place was great with plenty of room.We hope to vacation there again next summer.

This condo was a wonderful retreat for our large family! My husband and I brought our four children for a fun filled family vacation and stumbled upon this listing! TONS of space for the little ones to roam - so much more convient than a hotel room!!! The area is very quite and traffic free. The kids brought their bikes and rode with no hazards. The indoor pool and spa were perfect for the "rainy" days! The kitchen was well styocked with cooking essentials and saved us alot of money by allowing us to cook at "home"! The kids loved this condo close proximity to all the area attractions! Ken answered all our emails promtly with respect. We recieved our deposit back in three days!!!! We WILL be booking again for next summer! Thank you!!!

Thanks for sharing your condo. with us. We were in the area with two other families to support our daughters as they played in the Plymouth Invitational Softball Tournament, 10U division. The girls took second place in the tournament! The condo. was ddeceivingly large on the inside. The children loved using the crayons, foosball table and visiting the pool. We also had a great time tubing on the Pemi. River. Thanks again!

It would not have been as great had it not been for renting your spacious & beautiful unit. We will definately be calling you in the future for a return trip to N.H.. Thanks again, Doreen & Ron

We had a great stay at this centrally located condo that enabled us to ski Tenney, Loon and Cannon. The jacuzzi was perfect for after skiing and nothing makes kids happier than beating their parents at foos ball.

We stayed first weekend in February, skied Cannon and Waterville which were close enough by. Loved that is was a minute off I-93, we didn't have to travel an extra half hour on dark snowy roads. Very easy to get to. We had 2 families that had never overnighted together before, and I was pleased the place was designed so we each had our own space to sprawl out. Thanks again. lisa

We stayed at your condo over the Thanksgiving holiday. The unit was large and well appointed. My wife cooked a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner. We enjoyed the snow by a warm fire and had a nice ride over the kangamangus to do some Christmas shopping at the outlets. We would definatly recomend your unit to anyone. Thanks for an enjoyable trip.

We stayed at JOL Unit 15 for our annual family foliage trip during the Columbus day weekend. We had a great time. It was very conveniently located so we could easily get out and about. The unit itself was clean and had all the modern amenities including Wireless internet (big plus for some of the family). When we weren’t out and about we had had a great time just playing games and lounging in the family room with the wood stove fire going. I would definitely recommend to others.

Our stay was between 09/27 & 10/04. We had a great time, your villa is just the right size. There was plenty of room for my wife, son and my in-laws. Enough in house entertainment to make the few evening hours pass quickly. I would recommend this villa to any of my friends. If we come back we would also considering staying here again. Thank you for a warm, clean friendly place to stay!!

We stayed in your condo between July 26 and Aug 2/08. We enjoyed the condo and resort tremendously with plently of space for our 4 kids and my wife's parents. The big screen TV and the cable selection was a huge hit with the kids as was the pool. We would recommended it to others and will keep it in mind for another trip south of the border.

Labor Day Weekend 2008. 2nd year at the resort. The group of us ride up on Motorcycles and ride thru NH, average 800miles. The Resort is absolutely perfect for our group. Resort is spacious, homey, great views, all the comforts of your home while away. The Resort just adds another Fabulous touch to our weekend away. We are all looking forward to staying at the resort Labor Day weekend next year and hopefully many years after.

My husband and I were at the Condo from 8/25 until 8/29. We had a wonderful stay. The Condo is perfect -lots of room, very clean and extremely confortable. Our son and his family joined us on Wednesday of that week. There was plenty of room. The children and adults as well enjoyed the foosball table. The TV was great. The weather was perfect. We golfed and took advantage of the pool. The washer/dryer was a big plus especially with two children in the house. The kitchen was well equiped - although we could have used a tea kettle but a pot did just as well. We used the grill to cook some steaks - grill was also a plus. Would definitely want to return again next year. Our granddaughter wants to know when we are going back. Thanks for sharing your lovely home with us. The Beauregard Family, Chelmsford, MA

My family ( 8 of us ) had a wonderful stay at this Condo. It was very clean, roomy, and comfortable. There is plenty of bed and living space. It was everthing we were told it would be and more. The "Jack" is very easy to get to in the heart of the beautiful White Mountians with plenty to do and see. We highly recommend a stay here. A wonderful family oriented, children friendly Resort. The Kelly family looks forward to returning !

Great condo, location perfect to see sights. Especially good for large groups. We stayed there and enjoyed the outdoor pool and used the tennis court. We were disappointed that the indoor pool was under construction though. I would recommend this highly, very well equipped and afforded privacy for large groups as well as common meeting areas.

Our family of 2 adults and 3 boys stayed for 3 nights at Unit 15. We had a great time. The condo is very clean and modern and had everything which we could have needed. The boys especially enjoyed the soccer table, HD TV. We barbequed, used the outdoor pool & were very close to the sightseeing which we wanted to do. I would definitely recommend this condo. Jack O'Lantern resort is very peaceful & quiet & scenic. I could not have faulted the condo in any way.

The condo was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the wide screen TV; and the grandkids especially enjoyed the TVs in “their” space. The kitchen was well equipped (although it could use a very large glass baking dish/bowl). The location was great!The Doucette Family, Sterling, MA

Great place to stay indoors and relax or venture out for many outdoor activites. There was something for everyone with the games, big screen TV and wirless internet.

I returned home last night from a visit to NYC with my husband and daughter to find my deposit check waiting in my mailbox! We truly enjoyed our stay in your condo. My 29 year old daughter, husband and I cross country skied at Lincoln woods on two days, shopped around, ate at Gypsies and a great sandwich-coffee shop. At night we watched movies on your large screed TV sitting by the woodstove. The accomodations were clean, spacious and the views outside the livingroom were outstanding!

My inlaws who have been dealing with health issues joined us for a few days and were amazed with the place. It was very clean, spacious, and the view of the golf course and the Hobo Railroad was great. The kids and I would stand at the picture window and watch the golfers take their balls out of the sand trap and throw them in the fairway. Every now and then, one would notice we were looking. Nah, nah, caught you! It is a great location to do day trips from. Had a disaster at work when the A/C went out in the computer room. The wireless Internet was a great help. Or hindrance, depending on your viewpoint. Work says vacations are sacred, except for me. Would definitely consider staying here again the next time in New Hampshire.

The condo is very nicely furnished, and was comfortable and spacious for our two families with small children. We were very pleased and happy to have found this condo for our vacation. It is centrally located and very easy to find. We especially enjoyed having the towns of Woodstock and Lincoln nearby, and frequented their shops often. If you stay here, try ordering a quick takeout dinner from Frannie's Place for some home cooked, budget friendly foods. Although we are not golfers, the golf course proved to be a great place for our morning jogs, with its beautiful trails and friendly staff. Thanks, Ken, and we hope to make this a place for future vacations. We definitely would recommend this rental to anyone! Thanks so much!
