This listing needs help
First off Google doesn’t know where this house is. They have the location in the wrong spot. When we did find the correct house we opened the door to a musty dog smell and a really sad ceiling fan that was covered in dust. After a really long drive the first thing I needed was the bathroom. While using the bathroom I was unfortunately not alone. There was a 1/2 dead mouse right at my feet. While I’m trying to get this mouse out the toilet was clogged so now the bowl is filling with water. I’m freaking out because I’m trying to get the mouse without touching it and a toilet is about to overflow all over the floor. After dealing with all of that we look around the house and decide there is no way we can stay upstairs because it smells too much like dog and the railing going down the stairs is rather shaky and we didn’t want to fall down the stairs. The down stairs bedroom was not much better. The beading had some stains on it and there were no pillow cases on any of the pillows. There were also stains on the couch’s as well. Overall the cleanliness was lacking between the cobwebs and dust and its overall upkeep was also lacking. There’s ducttape holding trim on the cabinet in the kitchen, the shower door you have to fight with to open and close, fridge door doesn’t want to shut. And a can’t understand the use of pushpins to hold things like curtains and pictures. Over all this property does not live up to the pictures in the add and I wouldn’t rent it again.

Good cabin to visit the Whites!
We liked our experience at this cabin and it allowed us to do great activities in the White mountains (my spouse, myself and our dog). The cabin is super cozy and confortable with the heating and AC units. However, we noted 3 downsides that can't give the 5 star review : - General cleanliness was okay, but not great. A good portion of the dishes and cookware were pretty dirty and we had to do a lot of dishes upon arrival. - We wanted to use the kayaks on the lake, but we were just not able to carry them over the long distance to get to the closest beach access. - We wanted to play in the lake with our dog, but turns out the area is not very dog friendly and that they are not allowed anywhere near the lake. Other than that, everything was great and we had a nice vacation!

Ants were in kitchen draws and on countertops. All dishes,silverware and pots were not clean. Bed linens had large dark stains on them.

2nd time staying. Cute area and in a great location to a lot of hiking trails. Google maps for some reason did not bring us right to the house this time.. but we were able to find our way looking at house numbers. We arrived at night so the house being lit up for us also was very helpful.

Peaceful mountain stay
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was as shown. It was a great location to nearby attractions but felt private enough in a good neighborhood. Definitely bring blankets/comforters. When showering space out showers for hot water purposes

Overall good
We stayed in excellent VRBO rentals before. Only problem was garbage from previous rentals had never been removed from property. As snow melted we found an old cigar but on deck as well as dog poop. Which we picked up ourselves. The were many different conflicting instructions on what not to do and what to do in regards to heat, water, dishwasher (there is no dishwasher), but there were pods for one? Otherwise, we had fun. Would recommend streamlining instructions, and removing trash as we had to take ours home.

Great getaway
Nice and quiet location. Rental was clean and comfortable. All three of us (fiancé, dog, myself) slept comfortably and enjoyed our downtime when there. Perfect location in terms of getting to fun spots in the North Conway area. Just be careful when driving around at night as roads are not as well lit but that’s to be expected where the rental was. All in all we had a blast during our short time in NH and would definitely go back and consider staying at that rental.

We enjoyed a nice weekend away at this property. It was a great place to hunker down in the rain, and my guess is it is even better even the weather cooperates and you can use the fire pit and kayaks

Beautiful Experience
The Cabin was cozy and rustic, clean and surrounded by trees and chirping birds, it was kind of secluded yet there were neighbors around although not too much. It was beautiful stillness. On the corner of the road there was private beach and we went kayaking with the kayaks provided, that was beauty in it of itself. When we had a question we were able to text and call the on call manager which was awesome!! Thanks for this beautiful stay, would love to come back albeit rather in the fall with the beautiful colors.
