Great Spacious House for a Winter Escape!
Guest: Ann T.

Date of Stay: 01/20/12

Spacious house, included all the comforts and necessities of home! Fireplace and easy access to wood made for a relaxing evening after an eventful day of skiing. Beautiful, peaceful, private setting in the woods (w/in a mile of Mount Cranmore - we felt like we lived in the mountain!) but close to downtown restaurants and shops. The unique layout of this house provided privacy for adults, and also many large sized common areas (2 living rooms, open kitchen/dining area, and game room). We really liked the "woodsy"decor, clutter-free style, and up-to-date appliances.
Recommended for:Sightseeing, girls getaway, age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers.

This rental was spacious, clean, and well maintained. The major perks are an excellent location close to Cranmore, a ping pong table and sauna, and a very spacious living area with a fireplace and comfortable couches. Overall, however, my guests loved it, and we'll definitely be renting again. Also, when we had a question for the owner while we were renting, she got back to us within minutes. Highly recommended.

My boyfriend and I were on a roadtrip this past week and we made our way into New Hampshire, which is so beautiful! We were so happy to see our place and it was immaculate inside. It's very big, so it's great for big groups/families, but we had a great time just the 2 of us as well. We really appreciated the laundry and kitchen and the big living room to rest in after a long day of hiking. It really became a home away from home. Katie was absolutely great to deal with- she was so helpful and nice, and I felt very at ease in all my dealings with her. I would 100% absolutely come back!

We came to North Conway for a weekend away and we loved this house! The house was much bigger than we ever expected and even though there were 8 adults we didnt feel cramped at all! We were surprised (and ecstatic) to see all of the extras this house offers (such as all the kitchen pots/pans/utensils, etc). There were extra chairs around the house that we could use at the dining table and the eight of us comfortably sat for dinner. We also loved that even the 8th person to shower in the morning had hot water!!!! The property was clean and well maintained. I spoke with Katie (the owner) over email and phone and she was a delight to work with! Dont even think twice, this place is a "must rent" for a weekend stay!

Our family of 4 stayed at this property during the last week of September. We've rented in North Conway several times, but stayed at bed & breakfasts or hotels, which can be challenging at bedtime in a 1-room layout. We decided to rent a house and we are very happy we did. Birch Retreat was incredibly spacious...it has 2 levels, 2 living rooms, several bedrooms and 2 full baths, so there's plenty of room for everyone. It is extremely clean and felt like home. We were surprised at the many extras that were provided. We packed laundry detergent, softener, and some kitchen supplies but didn't need to because they were already there, Our boys enjoyed having their "own space" downstairs and we didn't even hear their early morning ping pong tournaments downstairs. There is plenty of space upstairs as well. A full kitchen, dining room, living room with fireplace. It was very comfortable and clean. Katie (the owner) is very personable, and very prompt in getting back to you. We did the whole transaction over the phone, scanner & email. (gotta love technology)!! :) We will absolutely be booking this lovely home again and would recommend it to anyone at any season. We went to nearby Cranmore Resort for some awesome summertime activities, took a ride on the Conway Scenic Railroad, shopped downtown & enjoyed the beautiful weather in this wonderful location! It was fun for the whole family! Thank you Katie for allowing us to rent this property. It was everything we wanted and more!

quiet, peace, close to town

A great place to stay. Quiet, but close to town. The house had extra amenities that you don't find in most rentals - soap, laundry detergent, and some basic cooking needs in the kitchen (salt, pepper, flour, oil, etc.) We had a maintenance issue with the dryer and it was handled quickly and professionally. We only had time to stay a long weekend. My family all agreed we would be inclined to rent this location for another week in the future. We loved our stay here.

We just came back from our stay at this house and were very pleased with it. We were pleasantly surprised with the location which is about a 2 minute drive to Mt. Cranmore and is less than 5 minutes from the village. The layout of the house is perfect if you have multiple families, as there are bedrooms on both the top and bottom floors, allowing you to be away together, but still have privacy. We have small children, which can sometimes be difficult when traveling, but Katie (the owner) has addressed this by putting a safety gate (which can be folded to the side if you don't have children) at the top of the stairs. She also has a crib in the Master Bedroom closet, games such as Candy Land and Chutes and Ladders and DVD players in both of the living areas. The kitchen was well stocked with anything you could think of. There are even two coffee pots, so we were able to make plain and flavored coffee every morning. The house is on a hill, which is perfect for sledding in the winter. We have gone to North Conway every year since I was a child and have always stayed in condos, but decided to try a house this year and are so happy that we did! We will definitely be back!

Our family had a great time over Thanksgiving weekend. We had our Thanksgiving dinner and did our annual Christmas shopping at the North Conway Outlets. The house was very clean and cozy. There was plenty of room and the house was well maintained. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and would recommend it to our friends.

Our favorite place in North Conway

We have been going to North Conway in the Fall for several years now and stayed at many different rentals, but this is everyone's favorite so far. We had 3 couples and it was very comfortable for this size group. The house is super clean and has every amenity that you could possibly think of and then some. The landlord and her family were super to work with even with our last minute request for the rental. We are looking forward to our next trip and have even talked about looking at an extra trip in the Spring.

The Birch Retreat was an awesome place to stay. Great location, so easy to get to town and Storyland. The house was perfect-clean, spacious, comfortable and charming! The landlord was great to work with-very friendly and quick to respond. Would recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay in North Conway!
