Our host was very welcoming, the kitchen had almost everything we needed as well. This is a place to host A LOT of people. It was super fun. Only thing I would recommend is a fire pit that uses wood for an actual warm fire. Other than that, our stay was great, we had a wonderful time.

What a blast!! I planned our family vacation at White Mountain Retreat. There was a total of 18 of us (13 adults, 5 children). There was plenty of room for everyone not only inside the beautiful 2 story house but outside. King size beds were comfortable Bunkbeds were also comfy. Grandkids enjoyed ping pong table, playing air hockey, and basketball. Kitchen was well stocked. 2 large refrigerators and 2 diswashers were perfect for our large group. The weather was cool and rained one morning which was so peaceful. We honestly never wanted to leave. Thank you Peg for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home. We hope to return next summer.

I wish I would have known

I wish I would have known several things prior to booking.-the guests cannot control the thermostat-the host only provides 1 trash bag per day even with 14 people staying-the shampoo and conditioner are hotel sized and only 1 per bathroom-the guests need to clean off the patio furniture in order to useWe would have packed accordingly rather than coming up with the impression that the "starter" supplies were sufficient for our group due to booking the correct amount of people. This place made our group feel like an obligation to host rather than welcome and enjoyed. It seemed like the bare minimum was included despite the price tag per night. It looks nice from the photos but in reality was "tired" and not as clean as we had hoped with dust hanging from the light fixtures, green and yellow substance in the showers, spiders on the patio furniture and inside the house and dirty smuges all over the doors. The host was nice and communicative, but it wasn't quite the experience we have had with other places in the past.

Perfect house and property for a big group

This house is THE BEST for staying with a large group. Lots of bathrooms, chairs everywhere for eating and visiting (both indoors and out) plenty of parking space, and a large kitchen. The blacktop in the kitchen is so great for making piles of pancakes. The hosts are so gracious and have been wonderfully communicative the last few times we stayed. We're so happy with our experience here we are repeat guests!

Beautiful Property!

We had our church youth retreat at this wonderful property! The home was amazing for housing and feeding 18 teens and 7 adults. The home is inviting, spacious and comfortable. We were able to sit all together to worship, have teachings and prayer groups. The teens loved the game room and hiking the area and the kitchen is a dream for cooking for a large group. The owner is kind and hospitable. We were blessed graciously with our stay!

Best group cabin in the pines!

This is the second time we have stayed at this wonderful rental with 4 families and kids ranging from age 5-11. It couldn’t be more perfect from the giant gourmet kitchen to the bunk room to the ping pong table and fire pit. The boys enjoyed the basketball hoop in the yard as well. Peggy could not be more accommodating in all respects. Thank you!
