The cabin was very nice and clean. Located on a relatively secluded hill top with plenty of usable space around the cabin. We saw a couple deer and had daily visits from a few wild turkeys. Daughter enjoyed the pool/air hockey/foosball table.

Lovely house in a beautiful location. Very comfortable for a larger group and with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Communication with the rental company was easy, and they were extremely helpful with any questions we had. They even allowed us to have some parcels delivered to their office before our arrival. Overall, very satisfied!

Liked: Location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Check-in, communication
Pros: great location; driveway got plowed right after a snow storm, which was key because it’s a pretty steep incline up to the cabin; and the kitchen is pretty well appointed. Cons: kitchen water pressure is very, very low. Almost unusable. Several linens and table cloths were either dirty or stained in a way that made us doubt their cleanliness; And finally: check-in procedures and interaction with the property management firm, particularly communications, were poor. The firm did not communicate that the one hour early check-in request was approved until 20 minutes after the requested time for entry. In addition, the firm charges a 25 fee for every hour requested, and applied the charge in this case despite their failure to communicate approval. Lastly, I received conflicting communications from no less than three different company representatives. All this to suggest: this property is one of many under their management; the management firm appears to be relatively large with multiple employees who evidently don’t have a solid coordination system in place leading to poor communications with the client, producing an image that is very, very impersonal and profit-seeking. I have avoided renting from property management companies in the past for largely these reasons, and this experience did nothing to dissuade me of that practice in the future. Unless I’m desperate and options are extremely limited, I will never rent from a management firm again.

Thank you for your detailed feedback. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We’re very sorry for the confusion around your early check-in request. After reviewing communications on our end, it’s clear that we misinterpreted your follow-up message on the day of arrival and did not respond in a way that reflected your updated plans to check in at 4:00 PM. We understand how frustrating and disjointed this can feel. Our intention is always to provide timely and clear communication, and in this case, we fell short in how we coordinated internally and followed through with you. We also recognize that hearing from multiple team members can feel impersonal, and we’re actively working on improving continuity so each guest experience feels more seamless. Regarding the early check-in fee, we want to reiterate that it was fully reversed once we recognized the confusion. That said, we understand that the overall experience did not meet expectations, and we sincerely apologize for that. Your feedback is genuinely helpful and is being used to improve how our team communicates and manages requests like this moving forward. We hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a much smoother experience in the future. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. Best, The Bretton Woods Vacations Team

Wonderful getaway

We came for a quiet Thanksgiving weekend away from the city and that’s exactly what we got. The house is just as described and had everything we wanted. It’s close to Littleton, so groceries, restaurants, bookstore were all easy to get to. We came in during a snowstorm, and getting up the road was do-able, but our vehicle wouldn’t make it up the driveway, so we parked at the bottom and walked up. If not suggested anywhere else, we recommend all-wheel/4wheel drive if there’s any snow. But that didn’t stop us and the house is set up with sand and salt for clearing off the front steps, so that’s nice. This house has a lot of space - we never even used the lowest floor - and was very comfortable. We would love to come back in any season, but winter was beautiful.

Great Log Cabin, Great Location, Terrible Wi-Fi

This is a great place to stay, especially if you have a big group. The log cabin is solidly built and new, and located in a solitude area = very peaceful and quiet. The living room/dining area is a bit tight, but completely manageable and comfy with a group of 4. It has a large sofa and rec room in the walkout basement, which is a great area for kids. Our biggest issue is the unreliable Wi-Fi. Good luck if you want to stream anything, or need to do any 'work from home' tasks. It simply doesn't work, and very frustrating. In this modern world, and at the nightly price point this place costs, it should work.

We have rented many VRBO rentals for our annual motorcycle trips. After a few really rough driveways, I have begun to make the condition of the driveway our number one priority. With this rental, I sent multiple messages asking about the condition of the driveway. They sent me a photo. At the time I didn’t know that it was only the top 1/4 of the driveway. It looked doable so we rented it. When we got there, the road leading to the driveway was a pothole, rock ridden road. The bottom 3/4 of the driveway was very steep, deep ruts where car tires wore the driveway down, big rocks, gravel and winding. No condition for a car, let alone a motorcycle. A 4 wheel drive suv would have a hard time. The women would walk up and down the driveway, while the guys tried to get up and down safely riding the bikes. Numerous times, they almost laid down the Harleys. Very dangerous and nothing we would’ve rented. Very stressful, every time we had to leave and return to the cabin. The cabin itself I would give a 5/5 but the driveway ruined the 5 star rating. Driveway 0/5. When I texted the rental company about my concerns after we arrived, all they could say was thanks for letting us know. I will never rent from Bretton Woods Vacation again. I believe we were intentionally deceived about the driveway.

Thank you for the detailed feedback. I’m very sorry the driveway condition created a safety risk and ruined your stay. Our listing does note an unpaved/steep driveway and the fact that All Wheel Drive is recommended, and we apologize that our response after arrival wasn't more helpful. Unfortunately, there is not much we can do to change the road conditions, so our staff was a bit lost on how to address. You are correct that it is not just the driveway, the main road in this area of town is a dirt road. It should be pointed out that our staff drives on that road on a regular basis with regular vehicles and we have never had any incidents, but none of us drives a motorcycle. We passed this on to our operations team and have added clearer vehicle/motorcycle advisories, and stronger wording in the listing so future guests aren’t surprised. I’m glad the cabin itself met your expectations, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention.
