This property was just wonderful. We really appreciated the yard space and we used the campfire which had kindling and firewood all ready to use. The kitchen was spacious and had everything we needed. We would definitely recommend this to others.

Perfect location
We had an amazing time at Wendy's property. The location was so close to Polly's and the mountain (our 2 main reasons to be up there). There were a ton of beds, linens, etc which was awesome. The house is definitely well loved and lived in. The fireplace was perfect - we brought our own wood and starters. Internet was great and strong. We got a TON of snow half way through the week, so the kids and dogs LOVED the yard. Thank you for having us.

Short trip
I rented this for a family getaway Christmas present so we could go visit the ice castles, and even though they were not open during our stay, Wendy was gracious enough to move our stay back a few weeks from our first reservation. We were disappointed we could not see the ice castles, but the kids still had a blast sledding on the small hill outback and my family enjoyed the large space we were all able to gather in and just hang out for a couple of days.

Perfect Getaway...
Great location to explore hiking trails, go shopping or just relax. We rented to have access to the Highland Games and it was the perfect spot. I am now a big fan of Sugar Hill. The property itself was beautiful and provided us with all the comforts of being home. I would highly recommend this rental.

Great vacation house
We had a wonderful stay here! A group of a few friends and I gathered for a relaxing bachelorette party. We did some hiking and swimming in nearby swimming holes, and some sightseeing around the white mountains. This was a beautiful area to stay in, and the house was just as described. It was very roomy and had everything we needed, with plenty of space. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
