About the host
Hosted by Tye Schlegelmilch
A father of three boys and residing in CT, I have considered NH my home away from home for the past 10+ years. I've enjoyed every minute up in NH.
Why they chose this property
The property in NH is an absolutely phenomenal location to house all of your family and friends in one place. The landscaping is beautiful and peaceful with a flowing brook beside the property and crashing waves in the late afternoon. The interior is beautifully decorated with discerning taste yet emits a laid back and calming feel. This is the first season that the house is being opened to guests so we are eager to please and ensure that our guests enjoy the property as much as we do. Additionally, the property has everything you would need to keep everyone entertained from high quality kayaks and paddle boards to kid kayaks and water toys. You can enjoy the most beautiful sunsets from the balcony or the hot tub while the built in indoor/outdoor sound system plays your favorite songs.
What makes this property unique
It is hard to describe all of the benefits but the fact that the house was not purchased to specifically rent, but has instead been used to entertain my family and friends over the past 10 years says a lot. The gaming tables, adventure equipment and landscaping were not completed with renters in mind so the property feels like a real house that is lived in and taken care of by a property owner that cherishes the property - because it is.
