This place was everything and and more than we ever needed for a long weekend away.
As far as location, the several acre property is well laid out with great privacy. The views from rear deck were expansive and better than pictures could do justice. We were here at the peak of the fall season and the colors had us in awe. The only other residence within eye-shot of the property is only visible from the driveway, and far enough away that it's easy to not realize its presence. Much of our nights and mornings were spent soaking in the large hot tub and taking in the views. At night, the skies were crystal clear; and due to how isolated the property is, the stars were out in full force and we spotted countless shooting stars.
The interior of the house was well laid out, spacious, and well decorated. The house had an environment that invoked relaxation. The main floor of the house had a grand room that was great to hang out in after a long day of hiking. There were enough beds for at least a dozen people, and likely more. The large windows brought in much natural light, which complemented the natural wood tones within the house very well. The entertainment area within the basement was a great place to enjoy a night in. We played several games of pool, and watched movies on the large wrap-around couch. It was very convenient to have the option to stay entertained at the house rather than go searching around town. The kitchen was well equipped with all the necessary utensils, which we took advantage of to cook large meals and eat at the kitchen table.
This house would be great for those seeking to take advantage of the local ski resorts. It located close to Sunday River, and the house has a large mud room at the entrance. We were in the area during autumn, so we took advantage of the local hiking trails by visiting Grafton Notch and taking a hike on the Appalachian Trail. The comfort of a shower, cooking a hot meal, a soak in the hot tub, and a night of movies was all we needed after a day of hiking. Sunday River Brewery was close by too.
Coordination with Jon for arriving/leaving, and using the amenities at the house was very seamless and easy. He provided me with a well-laid out guide to the house, which was also located within the house for our use. Jon checked in with us during our stay to ask if we had any questions, and was very considerate and easy to contact. The only problem was dragging ourselves to leave. Thanks for everything Jon!
