This is a gem of a property. It has it all, great bedrooms, enough bathrooms, very clean, plenty of space, beautiful view, delightful hot tub. They thought of everything and our stay created new family memories, just what we wanted. Thank you!
Relaxing stay on a quiet road with a nice view of the lake. We skied at Gunstock which is about 15 minutes away. Host is easy to communicate with and there were a lot of extra little touches in the house. Everything was very clean. Thanks for a great stay!

Thank you Eileen for you and your family being great guests! Appreciate you all and safe travels home!
We had a wonderful stay in Alton Bay. The house was warm and cozy and all of the amenities we needed. There were also several thoughtful touches, like a bowl of snack size chips, as well as toiletries and even robes. The hot tub was amazing after a day of skiing. The host, Israel was very communicative, friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend this home in any season! We will definitely be back.
