Lovely Stay in the White Mountains

Great spot to get away from it all, but close enough to restaurants/shopping to keep everyone entertained. House/Owner were great and would definitely return!

Ski vacation

We loved staying at Jon’s house. It was perfect for our 2 families! Lots of space to spread out with a very cozy feel. We skied Waterville Valley which was close by. We loved the kitchen and all it had to offer. It was nicely stocked which made cooking meals a breeze. We would absolutely stay again!

Our family loved the property and it was just as advertised. the glorious fireplace was a hit as the weather did not cooperate. Jonathan was responsive before, during and after our visit. You'll love the home.

Beautiful house

Gorgeous house! Roomy and comfortable, airy and light (even on a series of rainy days it was cheerful inside). My family had plenty of space to spread out and the kitchen was large and very well equipped. Great location close to everything, from adventures in Lincoln to driving the Kanc to excellent dining options both north and south. Jonathan was a super host, very responsive to any questions we had. Highly recommend!

Mountain getaway

The house was super clean. I saw that the owner called me and left a message when I saw it was too late and there is not much service when we were out hiking mountains. But thank you for checking in. The kids loved the loft area and the game tables downstairs. The house is very convenient to the hiking we were doing. I saw people tubing on the river 5 mins from the house. We were able to see the perseids meteor shower and sooo many stars right outside the house. If we are ever in the area again we will come back to this house. Thank you Only thing I would say it would be helpful to have a regular sized vacuum on hand.
