Thank you for very nice accommodations--truly a home away from home. After long days at the Highland Games it was a great place to crash and spend time with great friends.

Thank you so much for a wonderful time. It was so nice to get away from reality for a few days.Shared an amzing time with truly amazing people. We really enjoyed zip-lining with Alpine Adventures. Highly recommend this, well worth the money.We all had fun swimming in the river by the waterfall.We can say we survived the aftermath of Hurricane Irene. Even with roads closed down, we found plenty to do right here in Lincoln and N. Woodstock. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us. we hope to return soon. Best regards.

Had a wonderful time this week! We went to Clark's trading Post and had a great time at Whale's Tale twice! We swam to the dock and shark rock. We practiced our diving. Spent lots of money at the candy store. Went to Loon Mountain and Ziplined , rode the gondola up the mountain, went in the caves, rock-climbed and bungee jumped. We had a great time at the lake and the pool. We played ping pong! We rented the movies Tooth Fairy and Despicable Me. Look forward to coming back next year. PS. Thank you for letting us stay in your home. Caroline and Morgan

We enjoyed flapjacks at Flapjacks and pancakes at Polly's Pancakes at Sugar Hill(mmmm cornbread and coconut) The fish were not biting but we enjoyed fishing the river anyway. We celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary here and got fantastic steaks at Wayne's Market. This was a great place to stay. Thank you.

My wife's and my retirement gift to each other was a foliage peeking week in the White Mountains. We couldn't have been any happier with the setting, the price or the comfort. But what a wonderful home base to see all we wanted, so close to everything: the beautiful foliage of the White Mountains, Mt. Washington, the Lakes Region, Vermont, and on. Thanks, John and Robin for providing a wonderful home away from home for our week's stay.

Owner response:Thank you so much for the wonderful comments. Our NH condo here at Deer Park Resort is as comfortable to us as is our full time home in NY. So we try very hard to offer that same comfort to our renters as well. Any family that vacations at our condo is very pleased they did !!

To our potential renters. We have a guestbook at our Condo which many of our guests have written about their stay at our condo. So.... if you rent our condo the comments and experiences of our rental family will be there for you to read and enjoy. The fact that over 60% of rental families have been back multiple times means a lot to us, as this lets us know we have things right and are always working to improve the comfort and experience to our guests. Thank you ! John and Robin Shores (owners)

Hi, Enclosed is the condo key for another fortunate renter to use. Being in your place was truly a retreat, mainly because it felt like we were outdoors even when inside. What peaceful surroundings! And we lucked out-Maple Leaf was not getting its' new roof last week. The new clubhouse roof is quite attractive. Again, we thank you for sharing such a beautiful place with a couple of kids approaching their golden anniversary.

We loved your place. We have been in Deer Park before but the location of your home was ideal for the children. They loved your back woods, river--so close to tennis and rec areas. We would love to own one of our own some day. Was very relaxing and a "10" weekend!! Thank you.

Dear Robin and John, Your place is lovely and so close to everything. Thank you for your offer to stay another weekend because we had to cut our vacation short. Perhaps a weekend in April, if that works for you. The kids really want to go to StoryLand, is it open in April? We are returning your key and once again thank you for everything.

BEST VACATION !! Your home is so very welcoming- very homey! We love the sound of the falls! We've been coming to NH for the past 4 years and this is by far the NICEST condo we've rented. Unfortunately the pool and hot tub were broken, but then we found out we could use the spa facilities at Loon Mtn Club-very, very nice. Deer Park Resort had worked out an arrangement with Loon and we were thrilled. That made our son's day!! Nothing beats sipping a glass of wine by the falls or drinking a cup of tea by the fire on a chilly morning. We will definitely be back next year.

We had a great time. Thank you for letting us use your home. Highlights: Clarks TP-great for kids. Fishing in the river in the backyard-EXCELLENT! Lots of brook trout-we got a fishing license at WalMart in Littleton ( 20 min north) Also a great fishing store in N. Woodstock. He has all you need . Bike riding around here was great. Our all time favorite was Alpine Adventures- 6 wheel mountain mud tour at $34 per person, 1 1/2 hours up extreme terrain- A BLAST !! Great guides, my boys loved it. It was a great vacation-- adventure packed and also relaxing. Thanks again.

What a great part of NH! We had a blast spending the week at the lake, pool and visiting the sites in the area. StoryLand and Clarks were loved by our 3 year old. Breakfast at Polly's Pancake Parlor and a drive to Sugar Hill Sampler was great one day, as well as dinner at Gordi's and Truant's Tavern. Both very kid-friendly. There is still so much to see and we will be back. This is a relaxing and great spot in New England. Thanks so much!

After weeks and weeks and weeks of rain and very cool temps in New England, we were blessed with clear skies, no winds and temps near 90 degrees! With such perfect weather, we found ourselves with loads of energy to tackle The Flume, Falling Waters Trail, Basin Cascade Trail, Cannon Mtn., Loon Mtn and the Glacial caves, Polar Caves and Lost River Gorge---a wonderful holiday weekend. Your home was a wonderful base to return to each night with all its comforts---we hope to return soon! Thank you for such a wonderful visit!

What a wonderful vaction. Robin, I felt like I knew you before we came, from all your nice notes. When we finally got here,it felt like a good friend's home right away. We felt your hospitality in all the little things that made it feel like home. Thank you so much !Our girls really enjoyed Mt. Washington. Of course,at 3 yrs old, nothing tops giving Cinderella big hug at StoryLand. David and I enjoyed the quiet things most: Our afternoon at Sabbaday Falls (a walk even a 3 yr old can do), a glass of wine in the evening and NO cell phone calls. We hope to have the opportunity to come back.

Hike Bald Mtn. in Franconia Notch for sunset (awesome-bring flashlight) Cannon Mt(the trail at top was amazing!) Flume Gorge was nice, Kancamagus Hwy is a nice drive. N. Conway is a cute town, The Muddy Moose was really good food, a drive to the coast and Hampton Beach wasn't too far (about 2 hrs)and then it's only a short (well not too short) drive up the coast to Maine- BEAUTIFUL! Oh- It is possible to see moose-we saw 3 crossing the Kanc west of Lost River Gorge!!! It's just all good!

We are having a great time! Arrived saturday, relaxed and went to the pool. Sunday, we went to Clarks Trading Post,which was awesome. The Bears and the Circus was fantastic! Ended the day at the pool. Monday, we went to Flume Gorge. Tuesday, we hung out here and used the indoor pool!!! In the afternood we played mini-golf and went on the gondola at Loon. The rest of the week, we took a ride on the Kanamagus and hiked a little-went to Whales Tale, did the Hobo RR Trip, Lost River Gorge-------we did a lot but it didn't seem like too much because everything is so close. We love it here! We'll definitely be back this winter to ski.
