Wedding Weekend Getaway!
We stayed here for the weekend for a wedding at Owls Nest resort. It was just around the corner, so very convenient. The house was everything we needed with 4 adults and 2 under the age of 3. The owners were very responsive to our questions prior to leaving and they thought of everything. They had everything you would need. There were only a few downsides. The coffe table in the LR was not at all toddler friendly (Glass top and harsh corners) and not the one we saw in the pics, which would have have been preferable. The bathrooms were a bit outdated, some mold and lighting was particularly bad in one of them. Some dust on lampshades but other than these few minor items, we would recommend and definetely stay here againl

Owl's Nest Wedding
Great location. Just minutes from Owl's Nest. Fully equipped and labeled kitchen including spices and coffee and tea. Clean. Beds very comfortable. Spiral stairs inside and outside deck stairs were very difficult. Living room couches were very low and difficult to get in and out of. Great internet access and TV

Winter Getaway
The accommodations were good. If I had to suggest changes it would be inform renters of the spiral staircase, the lack of no bathroom in the bedroom in the loft and the very steep, narrow set of stairs in the house leading up to the main living space.Also the two bedrooms on the ground level were a bit cold for sleeping.Otherwise it was a nice space for the weekend.

Amazing!
This property was perfect! We stayed in the area for a wedding and could not have been happier with this property. It was clean, spacious, and comfortable! They had everything you needed- a kitchen with all of the utensils/ supplies, plenty of towels, a washer and dryer with laundry detergent, and lots of games. If we are ever looking to stay up there again we would definitely book this place again!

Mountain Retreat
We had 7 adults stay 2 nights up at this mountain home and it was a great time. The location is nice and convenient to get around to Waterville Valley or Lincoln. The beds were comfortable, couches were great, and the kitchen had all you needed. Everything was labeled really well so it was easy to find anything you were looking for. The living room was comfortable and chill. The downstairs had some fun adult games to play. The only complaints were the grill had a broken piece which made it unusable, one bathmat was soaked when we got there, and the shower needs a deep clean. Our group had a great time during our stay.

New Hampshire weekend
Overall the house was ok, beds were comfortable, kitchen well stocked with utensils and even some pantry items. Plenty of towels and linens. The problems: The main floor bathroom had a tiny shower that was moldy and had soap scum on the shower caddy from previous guests, and it had a leaking door so the floor was always wet. Shower was very difficult to turn completely off and not drip. Not enough towel racks for several people to share a bathroom. The stairs were treacherous, narrow and winding and had raw wood planks on either side and one of our guests cut their arm as they were going down. To access the loft there is a narrow spiral staircase, not easy to climb. The loft was not child safe (luckily we had no kids with us). I would not recommend this place to those with any kind of mobility problems. Lighting overall was poor, very dark.

Great space
We had a great visit to this terrific home! So well equipped and clean. We loved that it was dog friendly and yet it still felt very clean. Everyone slept great in the very comfortable beds and had their own space in this large home. We were a family group in the area for a wedding and this house was in a great location close to everything. Communication with the host was excellent. She was prompt and accommodating. We were so pleased to find this great vacation home and recommend it highly!

Relaxing and Peaceful
House was pretty much as described.
Plenty of room to spread out it was great having 2 living rooms. Adult kids could hang out downstairs watching TV, playing darts or foosball. Also great that they had their own bathrooms down there as well.
Our dog loved the large fenced in yard, it was great just being able to open any one of the doors to let him out.
Helpful having things labeled in the kitchen (wish more homes did this)
Beds were comfortable.
Plenty of supplies (TP/Paper towels/ trash bags/dish soap) Well stock pots/pans/cooking utensils/plates/glasses. Plenty of towels.
Great location. Very quiet neighborhood.
Recommend checking out Bently's Sugar House just 2 minutes down the road.
A few couple small issues:
Checking in: cleaning service was still there when we got there alittle after 4. She was very nice and said that the previous group left a large mess. We were able to get in alittle after 4:30.
Kitchen: Went to use oven and flames where coming out of the vents on the side. After contacting owner, decided not to use oven and wait to have it looked at after we left (to hard to coordinate time with our dog)
Observations:
Grill is usable, but needs to be cleaned the grease pan was so dirty kept causing flare ups.
No blender even though listed (had to drink my Pina Coladas on the rooks LOL)
No Tupperware/storage containers (find this an issue with many homes)
Overall happy with our stay and would recommend it to others and would stay again.

Annual multi-family getaway in the White Mountains
We had a great time in the area, and enjoyed your beautiful home. It was perfect for our 2 families (total of 6). We enjoyed coffee on the deck the most. My 13 yo daughter loved her loft bedroom. It was open, but private at the same time.Pretty cool!
The beds were amazingly comfortable!
Everything we planned to do was within an hour drive.
- Franconia Notch
- Whale’s Tale Water Park
- First Friday in Littleton
- Squam Lake
- Fun Sport and Kellerhaus
- Polly’s Pancake Parlor
Thank you so much!
