Clean and comfortable
Older home that sleeps up to 6. Bedroom and half bath in main floor. Loft bedroom and fill bath upstairs has a double bed and two twin beds. Very clean and quite comfortable for a weekend or extended stay. Convenient location just off the Main Street through Bethlehem, NH- easy drive to surrounding communities or popular attractions.

Total disappointment
This is a converted garage. It is falling apart. Tiles cracked, peeling paint, exposed wiring. The AC was one small window AC for the whole place. It sleeps 4 not six. Sheets were not changed. No privacy. We stayed one night out of our week booked. We booked a new rental it was that bad.

We had a nice visit
Bob was responsive and pleasant. Ideal, very quiet location walking distance to downtown Bethlehem and a short drive to many attractions. We were upgraded to the larger house, which was spacious and had everything we needed. It looked as though the carpets had not been cleaned recently, though the floors were clean-- probably just an oversight. Fortunately there was a vacuum in the house.

Cozy cottage in nice location
We enjoyed our stay at this nice cottage. You can walk up to restaurants and store easily. There is also a small trail right around the cottage which we found out later. You get to see fall colors right outside the property even if you don’t plan on the trail. The property owner was very helpful and considerate. He even suggested us a bunch of places to visit around the area for fall foliage. Definitely a cozy place to stay!

Bethlehem trip
The area is very nice , quiet and quaint . The listing does not accurately describe what you will get when you get there . It says it’s a cottage but really it’s just a converted garage space . The place with filthy , cobwebs everywhere , pieces of the ceiling falling off , the floors were sticky and when my kids walked in them barefoot their feet were black from the dirt . There was also an awful smell . The kitchen was dirty as wel and only had one pan to cook with . The cable was not connected and we had to reconnect the wires ourselves . The linens on the kitchen table were stained and obviously not laundered between guests. The bathroom was probably the worst part . It was really tight - you could barely fit on the toilet because it was smooshed between the wall and washer/ dryer . The floor was also dirty and the shower was disgusting . When I opened the curtain to let my son in to wash up there was hair on the wall and the floor was very dirty . While My husband was showering a piece of wood from above the shower fell off and landed on him . The owner came in on our first day there and cleaned the place however it’s just so bad that there was only so much that could be done .On a positive side the owners were very nice and accommodating and they tried to help us salvage what was turning out to be a bad vacation by allowing us to move to the larger property on their premises . This location was much nicer but still very dirty and not well kept .

Great vacation house in a perfect location!
We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful vacation house. The location is perfect - walking distance to downtown Bethlehem (restaurants, playground, etc!) and a relatively short drive to attractions like the Flume Gorge, Santa's Village, and Mt Washington. We are already looking foward to returning next summer! Our host promptly and helpfully answered questions about local events. We felt right at home.

Great weekend getaway location. Clean, open, and airy home with lots of character and charm. Multiple beds available with a full kitchen, dining room, loft and 2 bathrooms. Laundry on site with a nice backyard and a dog run. Walking distance to all the hot spots in town, and easy driving to everywhere else. Can't wait to come back!

Nice mice
Quaint, charming but old with mouse droppings inevery drawer and cabinet in the kitchen. I loved the proximity to trails for my dogs. The house is extremely dark and need big upgrades in lighting. Linens stuffed in evey dresser drawer so no place to put guests clothing. Proerty manager swapped her VRBO property for our stay here, which we are grateful for. Extenuating circumstances are the apparent cause of the poor upkeep.

Had a great weekend away!
We had such an amazing time this weekend in New Hampshire. We were able to stay in the Main House which was much more space then we thought we were going to have. The home is beautiful and has so much character. It had an amazing homey feeling which was great after a long scary drive in the bad weather. It was the perfect location to see the Ice Castles and to do some skiing at Loon. My sister and her boyfriend found a great hiking spot and took their dogs out hiking. The hosts were very responsive and made sure that everything was taken care of. We truly had a great weekend and loved staying here. We will absolutely be back :)

We had a wonderful stay at this property. The owner was exceptional and accommodating to meet some last minute requests. He upgraded us to a larger space upon our arrival and the house was comfortable for our weekend ski vacation. Thank you and we would be interested in returning in the future and recommend the house to others.

Perfect getaway in NH
Although we booked a smaller space, the owner upgraded us to an absolutely lovely 2-bedroom house, nicely decorated, with all the comforts of home, plus a few more. It was clean, spacious, well-lit, and near just about anything we could possibly need (including a few nice paths for walking the dog).

Excellent Property - Felt Like Home
The Property is beautiful! Well located walking distance from downtown Bethlehem. The main house is just lovely but also homey and comfortable and super clean. Bob is an excellent host. Very responsive and leaves terrific coffee and tea options which is a terrific touch. We were two couples and really enjoyed this property. It was extremely dog friendly and Bob went the extra length to make our Dog happy including a dog run!. Do not hesitate to stay here.
