Girls Weekend Getaway
We had a wonderful weekend in NH. This was our 15th year getting together. We try and pick a different area each time and Gilford NH did not disappoint. Great communication with the host. The house was in a nice quiet location and had a beautiful view of the lake. The house was clean and the kitchen was well stocked for cooking. Large open floor plan on the first floor which was great for all of us to be together.

Wonderful views and location
We had a great time here. Sitting on the deck with views of Lake Winnipesaukee and mountains was so relaxing; we spent lots of time there. Had some meals in the screened in porch. And enjoyed exploring the area, with Gunstock Mountain area just 5 minutes away, and went on the Mail Boat on the Lake.

Great ski getaway
Enjoyed our extended weekend stay at this mountain home in close proximity to Gunstock. Check-in process was easy and owner great with communication. Home itself spacious and in good location but decor is dated and overall needs a deep cleaning and de-cluttering.

Fun late summer getaway
Perfect place for three families with varying ages. The three season porch was a welcome sight for night time dining and sunsets. Proximity to Lake Winnie was a real plus and other attractions in the area. Enough space for all, no one felt crammed. Would definitely come back.

Amazing views, good space but needs some TLC
Check in and communication before the trip was very easy. The house is a great size for a multi family group, nicely laid out and the views are amazing. The house however did not feel clean and had a ton of clutter. Lots of trinkets and Christmas decor collecting dust, stuff in many of the bedroom drawers. I don’t know how else to explain it except it feels like there is just a lot of stuff collecting dust. We found grime in the kitchen cabinets and although it was clean on the surface, it is in need of a deep clean. We found dirty clothes under the bed of one of the bedrooms and things like the coffee makers not cleaned out. This could be a really great spot and rental if these things are addressed.

Large home, Beautiful view, great location
Annual Multigenerational family winter vacation (6 adults, 3 children), we really enjoyed the large home with a beautiful view. Location to Gunstock and attractions was fantastic! Half of the group skied the week while the other ice fished, after a long day in the snowy winter weather it was nice to reunite over dinner and spend the night by the fire. The house had tons of room, the kids 11,11 and 9 loved the Fooseball table and playing in the snow! The house had a large kitchen and dining room and was very spacious, there were lots of us in the house and it never felt crowded. Thank you for a great week!

Fall trip getaway
We came here to enjoy the fall colors in the lakes region, we were a group of 11 people and the place was spacious and comfortable for everyone. It’s a bit difficult to figure out the lights and their switches, I think some tag near the switches would help. It has a very good view overlooking mountains and the lakes. Enjoyed staying here for a weekend.
