Went up for the weekend with my son and the house was just as promised. Great sunset first nite we were there. Everything you need in the house. The spiral staircase is a bit cumbersome but cute. The wood stove was great and heated the whole house. Would stay here again definitely.

Owner response:Hey Dan: I love hosting father-son weekends. And girls' weekends, and romantic getaways. Thanks for visting -come again for the foliage!

Me and my girlfriend along with another couple wanted to ring in the new year with snow in a romantic setting. We could not have chosen a better place! Its really cozy and inviting. The heating is excellent. We cooked and baked in the fully equipped kitchen. And its just 20 minutes from Bretton Woods which has an amazing hotel and great views of mount washington. Will definitely come again!! Thank You!

Mountain Home - Charming

A real north country experience. We enjoyed our stay. The cottage was cozy and warm. (very warm) The location was awesome. So many stars! We didn't take out the telescope because the evenings were so cold but with so many stars we didn't need it. In the summer, I would certainly take advantage of the scope. Lots of great reading options between books and magazines. We took advantage of the kitchen for two dinners and it had what we needed. The guys loved chopping wood and tending the fire. This is a rustic cottage so I would not recommend for someone looking for luxury accommodations. The beds are all doubles so keep that in mind when planning for sleeping arrangements. The two boys were able to share a bed comfortably but two adults, especially if one is very tall or wide, can not share the bed comfortably. The spiral stairs are tight and would be difficult for someone with any physical challenges or a larger frame. Overall, we really enjoyed this place and would consider staying again.

We just returned from Mountain House and had a wonderful time. It looks exactly as it's picture above, but even prettier. Everything was exactly as described with a kitchen full of everything you would need to prepare a feast. The weather was cold and snowy, but we had a wonderful time in spite of (or perhaps because of) the weather. There is quite a bit to see and do in the area and the owner has a wonderful house book filled with maps, brochures, menus, etc. We tried Mr. Lee's, Angelica's and Tim-Bur Alley, which frankly is outstanding. We had lattes at FloraLatte and loved it. I have actually recommended this property to one of my friends. We would certainly return again.

The weather was actually very good to us and we enjoyed the nature tremendously. If you like, I will recommend the house to our friends.

We would like to thank you for opening your mountain house to us. We had a wonderful time. Your directions lead us right to the house without difficulty. The men shoveled off the deck (my husband even had an opportunity to sit on the deck with a cup of coffee and enjoy the view). So much snow!! We made an attempt to use our snow shoes and toboggan, but the snow was too light and fluffy. We just sunk. We failed to make dinner reservations Saturday night so we had to settled for the Littleton diner. If you like diner food it was just ok. Sunday, Feb 18 each did their own thing - some went snowmobiling for the day. Others spent several hours cross country skiing. We spent the day snowshoeing around the ground of the Mount Washington Hotel, enjoying lunch at Fabyan Station. Great Food. We had some time to explore Littleton and Sugar Hill area too.

Happy new year to you and your family. It is really poor form of the Bailey`s that it has taken us 2 weeks to drop you a line since our return to the UK! I actually write this to you on a train down to london on the way to a meeting! Anyway, we had a wonderful and magical Christmas at the Mountain House, and we had the snow, lost of it, especially in the last week. We have never seen snow like it, and the the sledging was brilliant! The mountain house is so wonderful, so cosy and we have wonderful memories of stoking up the fire and eating good food and playing your board games. Your place is by far the best self catering accomodation we have ever been to, and we will be back! The guy at the post office said `where are you staying` we said the mountain house on maple street, he said, ah yes I know jacki katzman - he and the guy at ma papias (the bagel place) couldn't believe we had found your place on the web. Top marks to the WREN shop and cold mountain cafe, plus angeliques the fish restuarant, they were all so welcoming. We stumbled across a british couple in the littleton book store, said they were just their for the day but would love to visit for longer - we had one of you postcards in our bag, so we passed on your details - we hope to drive your transatlantic bookings for you! To put it in perspective, what we paid you in british pounds was about 900 pounds, over christmas it would cost this for a week in the UK! Will email some photos when back in the office, sorry about the one bag of trash we left, hope the money we left covered off phone and any other costs. Here's to plannimg our next trip, maybe a few years away, but it will be a definate. Talk soon

Just wanted to drop you a note and say Thank You! We had a wonderful trip and a delightful stay at the Mountain House. It was a bit cold and rainy on Friday, but we made the best of it. It snowed a bit Friday night so it made for a gorgeous hike on Saturday with snow-covered trees. The dogs had a blast and loved playing fetch in the yard. We used the wood stove a couple of days. It was so nice and cozy cuddling up in front of the fire, especially after romping around in the rain on Friday with the dogs. As for the spiral stair case training challenge ... WOO HOO ... Jak did it! I'll send you pictures as soon as I can -- he looked so darn cute! (I still have a regular camera so need to get the film developed). Raven got his back feet up to the second step and then got this panicked look in his eyes and decided he was quite happy just putting his two *front* feet on the bottom step and leaving his back feet on the floor. :) I really hope to return next year ... have decided that next time we go away, it will be for more than 4 days/3 nights as it just was not enough time to unwind from our normal hectic lives.

Hey, thanks for the info - we just got back and had a great time - we actually left home a day early since the forecast was so good and stayed at the Littleton Motel the first night - got in 15 miles of hiking the first 2 days before we even moved into your place. That deck is a nice place for a late afternoon cocktail. We got to know some of the back roads in the area - we're interested in retiring up there in a few years and have been keeping our eyes open for land. Thanks much - we had a very memorable vacation.

Thank you for letting us stay in your house this weekend. We eventually got a fire going and everything else just fell into place. Snow fell all day on Friday, so we romped in the woods near the house. Our pup Rigby tried his best to inspect every pile of snow in and around the yard. Saturday was a picture perfect day of cross country skiing up at Bretton Woods. Before leaving on Sunday we snowshoed up Kimball Hill Rd through the orchard and followed some deer tracks back. We also enjoyed our ourselves relaxing inside by the fire all weekend long too.

Hi Jackie, My family, friends and I want to thank you for a wonderfull weekend. The fall colors were just after peak and we were able to experience some great cool, crisp, damp fall weather. We cooked some great dinners at the mountain house, enjoyed good wine, homemade apple crisp and enjoyed campfires outside until early in the morning. I'd highly recomend others take a quick drive to the beautiful little town of Sugar Hill and stop by at the cheese shop. I went to school in Wisconsin and nothing compares to the cheese we bought at Harmon's. Thanks again. If we ever make it to the White Mountains again, we'll be sure to contact you again.

I took the privledge of buying more page protectors and fileing your info about things to do about town and added some extras I got...including maps etc. I did a little journaling on some pages. As I was looking thru I started to organize and wala. The extra magnetic pages I put on the bottom shelf of that little stand at the bottom of the stairs... The house was great.....all the comforts of home. I'm sure some people like the spiral stairs, but as this body ages and i have to "void"at 1am and 5am, those steps were difficult to negotiate 1/2 asleep. We hiked Sugarloaf, Mt. Washington, Mt. Willard and to the Aresthusra Falls and Frankenstein Cliffs...and Canoed the Saco one day....and saw 2 movies in littleton........The pizza in Bethlehem was FABULOUS. Something for your guests to know that is just past the left turn to go to the Cog Railroad, down the road a bit on the right is the AMC - Highland Center just before the Crawford Station.....you can "BORROW" gear there - backpacks, boots, poles etc. What a beautiful part of the country. You are blessed to own a piece of it. Thanks for sharing a piece of it with us,

The house itself is just perfect for us...great set up with kitchen and living room attached; and a nice big kitchen at that. Comfortable sleeping areas with that great view again. Our weather was good, but it wouldn't have been bad to have been 'holed up' here on a rainy day - still would have enjoyed it. We are looking forward to coming back again. Thanks so much,

Your home is wonderful. Thanks so much for the opportunity to stay there. Yes, we snowshoed up to the orchard you mentioned in your guide, (see the attached photo). The kids slid down the frozen waterfall. They looked for Tikka the Moose at every opportunity. We skied Bretton Woods. Conditions were great. Ate dinner at the Oasis. I got a chance to brush up on your guitar. Emily played along with the metal drum. Nancy mentioned that it just felt nice to be in someone's home that, looking at the your books,etc, just felt like we shared common values.

We had a fantastic time -- and my wife and I discovered a new love ... snowshoeing. As Frost puts it, the woods are dark and deep. The snow fell as if it were in slow motion ... And another absolute first -- I pretty muched turned off my cell and didn't think about work. I suspect we will be back -- it could very well become an annual or even bi-annual tradition. --- Michael Just wanted to let you know what a fantastic time we had... this weekend was absolutely perfect, in every detail. The weather was ideal, and we went out snowshoeing for several hours on Saturday, then enjoyed taking it easy the rest of the time, playing games & reading by the fire.

Dear Jacki, We had another enjoyable stay at your home last weekend. Thanks so much for sharing it with our family. The house was clean and the sinks and tub were scrubbed so Lynn didn’t come in to tidy up after all. It snowed twice while we were there (yay!) and both times your plow guy did the driveway for us. We had a chance to do some hiking and snowshoeing as well as get in a good day of skiing. We assembled the “Snack Stack” puzzle and most of the Mt. Rainier one in the evenings, while the fire kept us warm. Hope you don’t mind that we put them away somewhat intact…it was just too painful to destroy all that work. We slept like logs on the new mattress…very comfy.

Dear Jacki, Apologize for a late feed back to you. We were very tired after 14 hours of driving back home, and after that the computer needed some adjustments because of a "virus infection". We really enjoy our vacation at The Mountain House. I made some notes in your Nature Book. We had winter time (snow & cold weather) as we wanted, the house is friendly, and the location is excellent. And to be sincere i couldn't believe how private it is. We simply love it, and envy you for that spot!!! We are glad to see that you are interested to improve the house or the conditions for guests convenient. Maybe you can find a way to get rid off the garbage somewhere at the end of the vacation.

There was an inch or two on the ground for most of our stay, but it rained and warmed up on Friday & Saturday. The only thing we forgot was our dog's lead, so we couldn't leave him out at first - he loves the cold weather (part Husky). We picked up some cotton rope in town and he was very good at wrapping himself around trees. Thanks for all of your hospitality & area information. Regards, Jackie

We were lucky with the weather...every day was sunny to partly cloudy with temps in the 40's. So we enjoyed some nice hikes and stargazing.

Every other day we hiked and lit a fire in teh wood burning stove, listened to music, cooked dinner, read and of course played. Keegan loved your whale crayon holder he called it a birthday cake. The last night -Friday (we left Saturday so we could have a day at home to regroup before getting back to work) - we had a camp fire with hotdogs and smores. So fun!

The informationyou provided was so helpful, especially our last Sunday when everything wasso crowded-the Coppermine Trail was perfect, just a few hikers and a nice peaceful walk. (It's funny that you mentioned Middle Sugarloaf because that was on our agenda but we just didn't have enough time) I, also, enjoyed spending some time in Bethleham. Jim especially liked WREN where everyone was so nice. I just enjoyed sitting on a bench while he was inside, having a latte and watching folks. I felt I came away with a feel for the area. I hope your other guests get a chance to spend time there. We took lots of pictures and if any come out nice I will send you a few.

Dear Jacki A sincere nd heartfelt thank you for opening your house to us. We most enjoyed our stay. We hiked, cooked over the fire, enjoyed the locl fare of the restaurants, played with the dogs, watched sunsets and relaxed. I serve on a couple local boards and, with others, weigh the pros and cons of tourism as an economic development mechanism. Tourism has its cons. Yet as I look back over our weekend, I see many of the pros that people here present. We budgeted for this vacation and had no intention of spending on extras. We had brought food and drink and were set. Yet we stumbled across many treasures and found Xmas giftsfor family and friends, books, art and other unplanned purchases! Likewise the menu at the Clamshell Restaurant -- so we went there too. We feel this three-day weekend will have helped the local economy here with minimal impact or use of local resources. Given the grand time we had, plus the positive local impact, I'd say it was a win-win for all! If I were a gambling man I'd say it was a safe bet that we will look to come back again to bask in the joys of the White Mountains and the communities that live there.

Edward and Gracie and I are just back from the Mountain House and we had a marvelous week. The weather was perfect, cool and clear. Our oldest son and daughter-in-law and granddaughter visited, and I discovered how easy it is to have company in the house, even a baby. I love cooking in that kitchen. This time we ate out only once (at Cold Mountain in Bethlehem). We didn't take any long hikes because of some leg creakiness so were particularly glad to have your suggestions for short walks. This time we succeeded in finding the walk off Kimball Hill Road around the apple orchard, which is wonderful. We also did the loop down 142, Wing Road, and Hazen Road, and walked up Mt. Willard and along the Coppermine Trail to Bridal Veil Falls. We also took some walks in Bethlehem. We hadn't noticed before that it has more little parks and benches than anyplace on earth. We have become great fans of Maia Papaya, and the Real Coffee Shakes are superb. Each year I find that I read and reread your descriptions and hints and explanations of things to do, always with great pleasure. There's something about your tone that's especially winning-- completely unjudgmental, cheerful, welcoming. I'm sure your instructions help people have wonderful vacations at the Mountain House, whether they scoot up Mt. Washington or do nothing at all.

We had a wonderful time. The house is nestled in a beautiful area and despite the intermittent rain we were able to do something great every day. We took a long hike up to the Zealand Falls Hut which is always beautiful. I knew about the birds from previous hiking trips. I'm not sure what type of birds they are, they're gray and about the size of a dove but they're so use to hikers that they'll land on you to take food. I held up some bread and sure enough the birds came out of the trees landed on my hand and helped themselves. Of course all the kids had to try it. It was amazing. Other days included the Flume, Santa's Village and the Cog Railway with plenty of hiking and nature drives. It was beautiful. All in all we had a great time. The rain stopped just long enough each night to sneak in a campfire, and it was uncanny during the day. We'd just finish our hike or just leave a park and ...boom...then it would start to pour. I couldn't believe it..we kept lucking out. If we head back up to that area I wouldn't hesitate to contact you again. The only things I'd do differently is pack our own pillows and pray for more sun. Thank you for sharing your mountain retreat, and especially, a big thank you for the Welcome Kit. It was exceptional and allowed us to make the most of the limited time we had.

It has a very welcoming feel to it, and it's in such a beautiful and peaceful location. Our family is into the fishing and hiking scene so we usually try to stay away from the hustle and bustle of tourist attractions. This was a perfect spot for that.

Hello Jacki, Thanks for sharing The Mountain House with us once again. We had another memorable vacation hiking, star gazing and enjoying the peacefulness of your home and property. After spending our days hiking in the mountains (we did the Lincoln-Lafayette loop and Eisenhower & Franklin) we looked forward to relaxing on the deck, taking in the gorgeous view and then watching the sunset. Although the temps were warm, your house stayed cool...so refreshing to come home to. Our dog, Abby, loved racing through the woods, on and off your trails. What wonderful scents she discovered! Two nights were cool enough for a campfire and we toasted marshmallows for s'mores for dessert. We were treated to two fireworks displays during our stay...we saw the Littleton show on the 3rd from the comfort your deck and then the spectacular Bretton Woods production on the 4th.

Hi Jacki, We loved the house, it was great. We enjoyed cooking in and relaxing and enjoying the incredible view. The lupines were perfect and the bugs really were not too bad. My husband was in charge of the fire – not sure what he did to improve its look but I do know he burned several very large logs! Your guide was so helpful. We have camped in the area before but had not ventured up to Littleton- we loved the bookstore. Thanks so much for letting us rent, we look forward to doing it again- my son wants to go in the winter( he is four and loved the forest and meadow and the mountain , as he called it, behind your home. )

Hi Jacki, We had a wonderful weekend in your mountain cottage. The weather was perfect, and our "backyard visitor" the moose was a pleasant surprise, he was hanging around the yard for a good hour, just walking around in circles, letting us observe her from your deck. You certainly have our permission to use the pics we took of her on your website. We look forward to visiting again very soon. Thanks again. Kimberly and Keith.

We stayed in many self catering accommodations during our 4 week vacation, your by far was the best - and how well equipped - you even had Taylors English Breakfast Tea to make us feel at home. Hope it was ok to use the paints - we left a painting on your fridge, plus my wife painted an exceptional one of the views from the Mountain House - we bought it home and it is currently being framed and we will put it proudly on display in our hall. Heidi and Jake loved it, the weather was great and we did much walking, plus a lot of paddling in the river down the road. And on one final note - we have taken holiday's throughout Europe and the North America, and always stayed in self catering accommodation - by far yours is the best - for both location and how well equipped the house is. Please quote us in your advertising\brochures. Many thanks ________

Hi Jacki, I have been meaning to email you all week but have not seemed to be able to get to the computer! Just wanted to thank you very much for a lovely weekend--we all enjoyed it very much. Your house was warm, cozy and just perfect for all of us. A crowd of us went skiing on Sat. at Cannon and Sun. at Bretton Woods--the conditions were excellent and the mts were just about empty (I think most people probably stayed home for the superbowl weekend). We took advantage of your sled, snowshoes and games in your closet--chess, scrabble blocks for the kids! All in all a great weekend--you have yourself a wonderful hide away! Pretty views and nicely away from the beaten path! We look forward to hopefully visiting your house again. If we know of anyone looking for a place to rent in NH, we will send them your way. And thanks for the deposit--I received it today in the mail. Hopefully we'll be in touch some time in the future-- Cheers, Lauren

Hi Jacki, the house was more than I hoped for! The weekend was great. Luckily it was "warm" enough to be able to stay outside and enjoy the snow. We snowshoed all day on Saturday. We left a sled in the closet in case anyone would like to use it in the future. I really can't think of much that you could do to make the house more comfortable since it seemed perfect as it was. I am sure we will be repeat visitors. Thank you for a great weekend!!

Thank you for sending back my hat. It's not the most elegant hat, but I got it on a cold day in Florence, Italy, so it held lots of sentimental value. Your house must be very beautiful in the summer too.
