We had a wonderful stay at this house. The area is absolutely beautiful, and the house itself is spotless, well-maintained, and fully equipped with everything you could possibly need. The owner clearly thought of every detail—every dish, utensil, and tool is high-quality, which made our stay even more comfortable.One of the highlights was the unique tree house, which gave us a truly special experience and offered a romantic view of the sunset that we will never forget.We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful and well-prepared getaway.

Comfortable, near mountain accommodations

We were in town for a week long youth ski racing event and selected this property based on the proximity to Gunstock (7-8min drive), pictures of the property and reviews. The host was helpful, welcoming and responsive. The home was well-kept, spacious and comfortable for our family. Bonus- my kids LOVED the tree house in the yard. We would definitely return if in the area again!

We had an absolutely wonderful experience at this property. From the moment we arrived, everything was spotless, well-maintained, and exactly as described in the listing. The home was beautifully decorated, comfortable, and fully stocked with everything we needed for our stay.The location was ideal – close to the lake, yet peaceful and private, which gave us the best of both worlds. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals, and the outdoor space was perfect for relaxing.Communication with the host was excellent. They were responsive, friendly, and made check-in/check-out seamless. We felt truly welcomed and cared for.This was one of the best VRBO stays we’ve ever had, and we would 100% book again in the future. If you’re considering this property, don’t hesitate – you’ll love it!

Lovely Property & Attentive Host! Quiet area near EVERYTHING the Lakes Region has to offer!

We had to make a quick pivot from another property and this one fit the bill. Perfect size, all the amenities and the host was on top of everything. Plenty of activities for the kids, 2 extra bedrooms for the sitter and a friend. It's a very short drive to everything. Ellacoya, Weirs Beach, the Bank of New Hampshire Pavillion, Meredith. It's all right there. Communication with the host was instant and always positive. They were there for every one of our questions and even gave us some good recommendations. We will absolutely be staying here again without a doubt. Lovely property and attentive host. No details overlooked!!

We had a great stay here over Thanksgiving weekend. The host was very helpful and communication was excellent. All four bedrooms upstairs were comfortable, I loved the soaking tub in the master bath. The mattresses are all memory foam, and my son loved sleeping in the bunk bed. The kitchen was well-equipped and there was plenty of space. The views of the lake and mountains from upstairs are awesome on a clear day. The TV room is very comfortable with the large couches and the huge TV. My son loved the foosball table in the kitchen. To plan ahead, there's not much of a yard, which was fine in the winter. There is a fire pit but you need to get a permit and provide your own firewood. There is a grill, but we didn't use it. The observation tower is basically a tree house, not easy to get up and down. Some of the wood supports are loose. I'm sure it's fine to climb up there but it was pretty windy all weekend and it's not a great structure for a 4 year old. Probably very cool for older kids. Overall, we had a great experience here.

We had such a memorable stay at this Gilford holiday house. We had 12 guests and Amulya was more than happy to accommodate and tend to our needs. We were worried it would be a hassle, but the rooms were such a great size. We all wished we could have stayed for more than one night. The kitchen was everyone's favorite, loved every bathroom especially the master upstairs see you mad earlier at the gym I thought you were gonna spaz on him you I didn't see you coming nicely I thought you were gonna say something and that's why my body posture went like he was at dad but then he saw us coming over and I watched him look at us act like he didn't see us and then like so this is the facing the doors the right we're coming this way and I'm looking at him but I'm not looking he's in my peripheral like I'm looking at like the TV like over here right but he's right here that I see him and then I don't know yeah progressed Nice yeah I did a quick workout before my run yesterday and talked about you because you go to school in Boston and he works and goes to school in Montreal but he works in Newberry restaurant at the burger Company and we were working and then Kevin was there he was like past five and he had like just finished a shift and you know that Chris boy like brushes his friend you know brush like Chris friend who like any Hispanic and they all look like each other in my eyes and they were talking and rude just like past Kevin because he was with another guy so I don't really wan
