"So happy it was baby friendly...able to bring our dog...we got to see the Northern Lights from the deck too!!!" That's what guests say about our 4-bedroom home in Gilford, 1 mile from Gunstock Mountain. Mornings with coffee on the wraparound deck and Gunstock views. Evenings around the propane fire pit. Sleeps ten across four bedrooms with two sofa sleepers. 5 minutes to Lake Winnipesaukee, 30 minutes to North Conway.
Our home sits in Gunstock Acres, a quiet residential neighborhood directly across from Gunstock Mountain. 5 minutes to Lake Winnipesaukee, Weirs Beach, and Laconia, and 30 minutes to the North Conway outlets. The location keeps you close to skiing, the lake, and the Bank of NH Pavilion while staying tucked back in the woods on the mountainside.
Our home is two stories with four bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms. The main floor has the open-concept living room with a wood-burning fireplace and floor-to-ceiling windows, the renovated kitchen with dual skylights, and three of the bedrooms - including the master with an ensuite bathroom and an attached sunroom. Upstairs is a fourth bedroom with two single beds and a half-bath, separated from the main living space by a sliding door.
The wraparound deck is where the home opens up. Gunstock Mountain views stretch across the front, with outdoor seating, a BBQ grill, a propane fire pit, and a large wooden outdoor dining table for group meals under the stars. Off the master bedroom, a glass sunroom catches the morning light - the spot for slow coffee and nature watching before the day starts.

Thanks so much. We appreciate you! Hope to see you again soon!
The property was welcome to pets. Our dogs adjusted real quickly and loved it. We loved having all of the bathrooms. The beds were all comfy with clean linens. There was plenty of towels, facecloths & hand towels. There was also a new washing machine & dryer. The heat was a perfect temperature all of the time. We even had the wood stove going at night which we all loved. All in all, we would rent again. Btw the host was very attentive to my messages.

Weekday girls trip to see DMB at Bank NH Pavilion!
We had a wonderful stay at the gingerbread house! It was wonderfully close to the concert venue and very convenient to access other places we went like Weirs beach and the lake! The owners bent over backwards to accommodate us. I’ve never had a host so willing to go out of their way to meet our needs. Amazing hosts!!!

and you are amazing guests as well. thank you for treating our home with such great care! we look forward to seeing you again soon @GingerbreadhouseNH
We had a pleasant stay overall, and the host was truly wonderful, very kind, accommodating, and extremely responsive and communicative before and during our visit. The house itself was clean and quite spacious in the main living areas, which made it comfortable for our group.That said, there are a few things future guests may want to be aware of. While the common spaces are roomy, the bedrooms are on the smaller side. There is also no yard, which may be a consideration depending on your needs. The driveway is steep and narrow, with parking only available in a single line. We stayed during a winter storm, and it was difficult to make it up the driveway. The host did offer plowing and did drop off a bag of salt.Overall, it’s a clean and well-maintained home with a very attentive host—just important considerations, especially for winter travel and parking needs.

Ants, ants, and more ants. Hundreds of them. At check-in, ants were in every room in the home. The upstairs bedroom wasn't inhabitable due to the number of ants so my daughter needed to stay elsewhere for 2 nights. If the owner had said "sorry" for the inconvenience and offered remedy the situation immediately, this review would read differently. Instead he wanted pictures sent to him. We bought a can of Raid and a box of ant traps so that we could spend the night without being crawled on. He sent a cleaner to the house the next morning instead of an exterminator. So after a long day at a funeral, we returned to stomp on more ants and spray more Raid. Luckily our time in the home was minimal. Having stayed in many VRBO homes, this home was not representative of the quality we have always found.

Dear Michelle, we are truly sorry that you did not have a 5 star experience in our home. We did send cleaners as soon as we could free of charge to rectify the situation asap. Please note we have had exterminators there and eliminated the problem.
thank you
Nice location. Spacious place to stay. Huge deck. Lots of kitchen space. Something for everyone. Our party of 9 had a great time. We would stay here again.
