We're Home!

We're home! ... One knitter's greeting after eleven trips to the Kenny condo at Forest Ridge! Eight knitters, all ages and stages, trunks of foods, pounds of chocolate and multiple bags of knitting ... and, now, even iPads, iTouches, Kindles and Nooks ... arrive at the condo for another weekend. The condo is exactly as pictured in photos ... as always, spotlessly clean, bright and airy, comfortable as a cottage and large enough to accommodate all of us easily. The weekend weather was perfect and the area is safe and peaceful for walking or using the gym. The owners now include WiFi and their instructions make it easy for us to use ... a great help to those of us new users! Although there are many activities in the Lincoln area ... hiking, skiing, Hobo railroad, etc... we generally stay in the condo area that includes the gym and pool. There are many restaurants within a short ride ... or even a walk .... and they offer a great variety of choices. We recommend this condo to anyone who would like to be in the Lincoln area and feel at home. It's large enough for families, multi generations and/or 8-10 knitters! Two separate floor, living rooms make it perfect for noisy and quiet activities.
Recommended for:Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

Knitter's Reunion

Our eleventh time staying in the Kenny's condo! This home has the feeling of a treasured place to relax, regroup, laugh, eat lots of chocolate and reconnect with the knitting friends we love. It is exactly as described and pictured in the photos ... only better in real life. The rooms are spotless, the furnishings kind to those who need to relax, the surroundings amenable to those who can walk or exercise (gym and pool included). It has the feel of a home in the country while still being within a short distance of so many activities, sight seeing opportunities and restaurants. The owners (Brian and Patricia) keep a supply of local menus and activities. We recommend The Gypsy Cafe if you are looking for a restaurant. The owners are available through phone and email, there is a property manager for onsite problems (which we have never encountered). The addition of wifi at the condo thrilled the knitters! We were able to send, find and/or share patterns on our various "i" pads, pods, Touch, etc. all while sitting inches away from each other. The condo is ideal for a group of ten women and 37 bags of knitting and would work equally well for a family with children or two families traveling together. The two living rooms, two queen sized rooms and two twins make privacy and time apart easily possible. We look forward to our next reunion and, as one knitter says each time: "It's like coming home to visit every year!"
Recommended for:Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, romantic getaway, sightseeing.
Excellent Condo Experience!

This condo is located in a wonderful area for activities for all ages. It is close to ski slopes, sight seeing ... we saw a Mom and baby moose ... restaurants and main roads, while still being in a quiet mountain setting. The photos in their ad only show a small degree of the warmth, cleanliness and size of this home. We have stayed at this condo twice a year for five years and intend to keep returning for many more visits. The owners, although not on site, have always been available, through phone or email, in a very timely manner to answer questions or requests. They continue to add to and replace any items that need to be updated. They provide information about local attractions as well as restaurant menus that have allowed us to make some great choices (try the Gypsy Cafe and the Woodstock Inn)! The condo offers lots of space for relaxation, group gathering, room for solitude if wanted, Wi-Fi for the computer needs, a deck with table and chairs for nice weather and a fireplace for when it's not! The beds are comfortable, bathrooms are spotless and living room seating is generous. Our only minor wish would be for more lighting in the living rooms. We are a group of 10 who look forward to our time together and, as one member of our group said: "When we arrive at the condo, I walk through the door and immediately think 'I'm home' and I begin to unwind and relax."

Brian and Pat, You have a beautiful place! We really enjoyed the pools and the area swimming holes. It was a very hot week, so having the air conditioning was a relief. We did have one problem with a running toilet, but Ron, your maintainer, fixed it right after we called him. We would like to to come back next year and will keep in touch. Bonnie

The condo was as described on the internet, clean & well mantained. It worked out great for the six of us for the week. I'm going back this June for another week, needless to say i thought it was a very good value. That area of the White Mtns. is great with alot of things for every age group to do to have a good time.

Not worth the money!

We spent a weekend at this property with another family. This condo is an old one with dirty carpets and cheap furniture. I don't think the owners use a good cleaning service, the kitchen and diningtables were sticky with pancake syrup! Two of the bedrooms are actually in te basement. The whole basement area is cramped and depressing. Overall, you would be better off spending time elsewhere.
Owner response:This guest agreed to pay our normal fee for a weekend and said he was coming with another family. When he arrived, he called and said his friend's family did not come so he wanted half his money back. I called our Maintainer, who said there were definitely 2 families there, over 12 people in 3 cars, so I told the gentleman he would receive his security back but nothing else. In an email, he then threatened to "burn me" in his review, which is what you're reading above. This is the rudest guest we have ever had who probably does this scam routinely. As Home Away's policy is to print all reviews regardless of potential libel (we sent Home Away his email with his threat, but Home Away didn't care), we are posting this response and encourage you to read all reviews. Our cleaning service is the best in Lincoln, we routinely repaint, repair and update bedding and furniture, including wall to wall carpet replacement and kitchen articles. About half our guests are repeat rentals and often refer family and friends. We believe we offer the best value for a family vacation, quality and price, in New Hampshire.

My family and I had a wonderful vacation in New Hampshire this past week. I just wanted to say thank-you for making our accommodations so worry-free and clean with the use of your Forest Ridge condo. You were always easy to communicate with and your directions, instructions and helpful hints were spot-on. We loved the condo's proximity to the pool, and the three-level living arrangement was perfect for our 2 families. Again, thanks very much! Wendy

Dear Mr. & Mrs. Kenny- The condo was beautiful, clean and very comfortable. We had a lively (quiet) week--it snowed nearly everyday so the skiing was great! I hope to visit and stay in your unit again--also I'll recommend your place to my family and friends. Thanx!
