We enjoyed our stay at your home. The condo was clean, well decorated, with all the necessities and then some. Great location close by to many ski resorts.
We enjoyed our relaxing winter vacation at this property. It was very clean and the couch was comfy. It is a quiet location close enough to Waterville Valley. The exposed beams give nice character.

Thanks so much for staying at the IndieVacations condo Beth! Please do come back any time.
This unit is spacious, well-equipped, and only a fifteen minute drive to Waterville Valley Resort. Moreover, Cliff is a gracious and attentive host. I will definitely stay here again if it is available when I am in the area.

Thanks so much for staying at the IndieVacations condo Larry! Please do let me know anytime you are back in the area, happy to host you and your family again.
My family of 5 stayed here over Christmas break and skied Waterville Valley. The condo was very clean, it has an open floor plan so there was plenty of room. The bedrooms were spacious and beds were all comfortable. Cliff did a great job labeling everything to make it an easy experience. We will definitely come back!

Thanks Jason, so glad you had a great time. Please do come back again soon!
I cannot say enough great things about our stay. The condo was cozy and we felt "at home" right away. The property is only minutes away from fun activities and restaurants. Cliff was a wonderful host, amd quickly replied back to us with answers to our questions. We will stay again. Thank you for the amazing hospitality!

Nice setup with everything you need. The area was a little spooky as it was at back from the road with very few units rented out. Tennis courts were not as pictured adding to the eerie feeling. Still a nice stay!
We enjoyed our 6 days at Cliff's condo in September. The rooms were spacious. The livingroom was extra comfy. The beds were comfortable. And the condo was super clean. We expected to have a little bit of a drive to restaurants and there were quite a few in the area that were excellent! Cliff was very attentive and answered us very promptly when we had questions. We recommend this condo to travelers who would like to be away from any busyness. It was a quiet, relaxing retreat.
We had a nice stay at Cliff’s property. Everything was clean and well maintained. Decor was cute and beds were comfortable. There was an issue with the garbage disposal from the tenants that left right before we arrived and Cliff let us know immediately and worked to resolve the issue as soon as possible (by having the disposal replaced) which was challenging due to our staying being a holiday week.
Location is pretty convenient. About a half hour away from Lake Winnepesaukee and Newfound Lake, which were two places we had planned to visit during our stay. Overall, an enjoyable stay.

Thanks Larisa. Please do come back for another IndieVacations trip soon. Happy to offer a past guest discount for a follow up trip down the line!
The location was good. Close to mountains. Condo itself had a great main area, which we spent most of our time in. Bedrooms were well equipped.
There was a leak coming from the kitchen into the bathroom during our stay. While it was between Christmas and New Years so help was hard to get, it did make our time at the condo less enjoyable with a constant drip in the shower and over the toilet, which after two days turned into a less desirable smell in the downstairs bathroom.
The owner did make communication with us but a fix was never provided. It put a damper on our stay, pun intended.
The condo is very cozy and well organized. Everything you need to cook and relax is available and the host left us some welcome snacks which the kids loved! Check in and communication was very easy and pro-active. you can tell the property is managed by someone who spends time there. Recommended!
Cliff's condo was clean and cozy. Cliff's communication was top notch the entire time. The provided coffee was a fantastic treat in the mornings. We even stopped by the Mad River Roastery to pick up a bag on our way out of town. We had one person teleworking in the mornings before heading out for the day. The wifi speed was excellent even with three of us using it. We'll be back the next time we're in town!
The townhouse was very clean, with nice bedrooms. Cliff, the owner was quick to communicate anything we needed. It was perfect for the 7 of us that stayed.
