Just what we needed

The house was perfect for our family getaway. Plenty of room for all of us and location was great. You can see the updates owners are making to the property which is great. Would definitely stay here again, if available, on our next trip back to the White Mts.

Great Family Spot

We spent a great week here. The house was clean, well equipped, in good condition. We walked to the beach on the pond, played on the deck with water guns, and the grandkids loved the downstairs playroom. Thanks!

Lovely wooded area with beautiful house

We enjoyed our stay, although we thought the pond would be closer. Too far to haul the canoe down the hill. Layout of rooms was perfect for our family. Clean and comfy.

Great House

This house is perfect for our two families. We had 7 people total, but we could have easily fit more people comfortably. The teens and adults had their own space apart, as well as plenty of space together for eating meals and playing games. Everything was as described, and communication with the owners was really easy when we had questions. They were super prompt, helpful, and very nice. We boated in the larger lake in the neighborhood, which was lovely and peaceful. Would definitely recommend this property.

Private and peaceful!

Our family had a wonderful time at this home. It is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. Our family of 7 had plenty of room to spread out. Kids loved the basement room to hang out in. I could have spent all my time on the private deck out back. It was so quiet! So much privacy on this property. And we all loved the pond so much! Our kids were so happy spending the day swimming, jumping from the dock, and paddleboarding. The sandy beach is perfect for young kids. It was the perfect spot that we were looking for. We hope to come back!

Cosy house, be careful when showering

Overall good experience except for needing to be careful when showering. The shower water pressure is high and it is easy to get some splashed water on the bathroom ground. There isn't a waterproof treatment on the bathroom's ground corner so a small amount of splashed water will leak into the understairs.

Response from VrboOwner on Oct 24, 2022
Thank you for your review, we are glad you enjoyed your stay. The shower water pressure is high and can be adjusted using the lever if a lower pressure is preferred. We have never had a problem with it leaking into the downstairs bathroom before and our kids have had many a splashy bath in there! We will look into that.

Perfect Fun

What an amazing and beautiful home! The house was clean, very well maintained and perfect for the group we had since it has so many beds and places to lounge and relax. We enjoyed the outside deck, especially in the morning with coffee, and the fire pit was perfect for the beautiful evenings. The neighborhood was quiet and dark which was great for star gazing. We spent the day at the pond using the provided canoe and paddle board. The pond was fun, especially the diving dock and exploring around. The people were kind and everyone there had the same mindset - fun and relaxation. Aside from the perfect house, I will say our hosts were also perfect. I feel the best hosts are those that you know are available if needed but provide us with privacy. Karen promptly answered a logistics question I had a couple weeks prior to our arrival. The day before, she provided me with important info and made sure I knew she could be contacted if needed, just the way I like it! Each person who came commented on what a great weekend it was and how we picked the perfect house. I am definitely saving this place in my favorites!

Beautiful house, relaxing get-away

Lovely, spacious, comfortable, well-laid-out home far from other houses and nestled in trees. My husband, 18-year-old daughter and I stayed here for two weeks in June (3 of her friends joined for 4 of those days and they had a blast playing foosball in the basement). Plenty of room for even more guests, though we didn't end up needing it. I also appreciated there being an abundance of dishes, glasses and silverware! Around the property we saw tons of scurrying chipmunks, and even deer several times. Access to basketball court and canoe at nearby little beach (one of four walkable beaches around three ponds). The area is hilly so be prepared to walk uphill back from the beach. PSA: as in all areas in the Northeast, check yourself for ticks after walking in the brush or tall grass (as in where the canoes are kept). We enjoyed visits to Madison boulder, Diana's Baths, North Conway, and Mount Washington - but mostly spent time just chillin'. I appreciated that the owners are helpful and responsive. I might subtract a quarter star for wonky shower control in the master bath, challenging dishwasher, and trees being a little too close to the fire pit for my comfort. It would also be handy if they had more leftover containers (luckily we brought our own) and offered guests more than one key. But I expect the homeowners to continue to make improvements to the property - and these are minor things that did not interfere with our enjoyment. Really and truly a lovely house!

Thank you for your kind review! We are glad you enjoyed your stay. We will get another key and more Tupperware - good suggestions. The trees have been cut around the fire pit now and we are looking into the other concerns. We appreciate the feedback to make our place perfect!

Private home surrounded by trees on a dirt road; very peaceful. We enjoyed paddle boarding and swimming in the small lake. The home is comfortably equipped for families, including plenty of dishes and kitchen utensils. We appreciate sharp knives and even a good vegetable peeler, details often lacking in rentals! The wrap around deck was great for morning yoga.

The house was perfect for our family's needs and as described. The hosts were very prompt and gracious about answering a few questions we had about house operations.A beautiful area, close to swimming in the village and to many of the White Mountains attractions and areas explore, hike, swim for young families. Will definitely consider a return!

Great location

I booked this house with my family after a last minute change in vacation plans. This house was great and the rooms seemed larger than in the pictures. Cute decor too. Nice quick car ride to the water (or a 6 min walk) and only 25 minutes to North Conway for shopping, so there was something for everyone to do.
