About this property

House in Waterville Estate Mountain Resort Community - pools pond hiking

This Waterville Estates mountain house is our family’s happy place and we hope it can be yours as well. It is a bright recently updated home on the side of a woodsy hill in the white mountains. Trails for hiking, snowshoeing, and advanced cross country skiing pass by the backyard. A recreation center with 2 indoors pools and 2 outdoor pools is just on the other side of the hill and a short walk down the trail - and a two minute drive. Campton mountain nearby as well.

Guests have full house access. First floor has three bedrooms and bathroom- two of the bedrooms have queen size beds and the third bedroom has a bunk bed where each bed is a double. One of the bed rooms has a standing desk for remote working and two of the bedrooms have roku TVs.

Second floor is open plan with a kitchen, living room (65 inch tv), and wood stove- decks coming off front and back. Large windows on both ends of the house allow you to enjoy woodsy views up in the trees. In winter months you can look through the trees and see the silhouette of the mountains. One deck comes off the back of house and another deck comes off the front. Patio furniture on the decks!
Stairs to back deck and 2nd floor front and back decks closed in the winter months (Nov-April). They are not maintained so should only be used in emergency.

Third floor is an open loft with another queen size bed and full bath, as well as a standing desk and chair for remote work.

The walking path in woods behind the place will take you in 5 minutes to Waterville Estates community center and Campton mountain is a short distance away as well.
Two adult guest passes are provided for free entry to community center. Children 7 and under free. Additional guests are $10 per say during week and $20 per day on weekends.

Rec center has gym, saunas, and two outdoor and two indoor pools. Also, tennis, basketball, and volleyball courts. Beautiful pond for swimming with beach for sand castles.

House sleeps up to 8 guests altogether. Dog friendly with an additional fee for dog.

Thanks for considering staying at our house- it is our “happy place” so we have some house rules to make sure it is a good fit. We love dogs and are open to considering you bringing your dog. No cats, sorry. If you do bring your dog, we require a phone call with guests to discuss additional fees and suitability of house for your dog.

NO PARTIES. Guests are required to let us know if anyone in addition to guests will be in the house.

For your security, the house has three outdoor security cameras. Two are near the front entrance, one points to the back deck stairs.

Wonderful

Family ski vacation with my two nephews and their girlfriend and wife. And our two yellow labs. The heat was on when we entered which was so comforting because it was so chilly outside. The place was spotless, bountiful linens, and towels. The kitchen had everything you could imagine —even an air fryer. After skiing all day, we come in and light the woodstove and make dinner. A wonderful time for all. And another great attribute were the trails right out the back door to take the dogs for a walk. Martin was great! He even contacted us after the first night to see if everything was OK. Highly recommend this VRBO for families.

Christmas holiday

My husband and I just returned from Christmas with our son, daughter-in-law and 2 grandchildren. Although snow was limited after a big rain storm a few days earlier, we enjoyed a lot of hiking and swimming at the rec center. The owner is an excellent communicator, very helpful and attentive to detail. Although we didn't have any problems during the 6 nights of our stay, whenever I had a question, the response was less than 3 minutes. Very impressive! The house is nicely updated with tasteful furnishings and is privately situated with views of the surrounding wooded area. I appreciated having the convenience of two excellent supermarkets in nearby Plymouth. Highly recommend this lovely home!

wonderful get-a-way

We had a wonderful stay at this property. The home was very comfortable and set up for gathering as well as having many quiet spaces to spread out. The location was perfectly situated for all we wanted to do in the White Mountains of NH. The property manager was fabulously attentive to our needs. Everything was set up for comfort and quiet. The nearby recreation center was a plus for the teens as well as adults. Work out space, swimming, game room and hiking was easy access from the home when not on our other excursions. This was a wonderful place to stay and we will plan to return!

Amazing stay in a great location

We had an amazing ski getaway with the family. The property was clean and exactly as described. The location is nicely tucked away but close driving distance to many great local attractions and wilderness. Relaxing by the wood fireplace after a long cold day of skiing was a highlight for sure. Host was extremely attentive and reachable at all times.

Clean, quiet, and comfortable home in the White Mountains

My family (four adults, two kids, and two small dogs) had a great stay here and we were impressed with how clean and comfortable the home was. The peace and quiet, especially at night was amazing. Nice scenery with a walking trail through the woods less than 10 minutes from the community center. We will try to rent again, and hopefully stay a bit longer the next time. Thanks.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
We are a family of three, with 2 dogs, living in the Boston area. We love the white mountains and the Waterville Estates community. Between the pools and the mountains, we think the community offers everything outdoor-loving families would want, and is a great location for remote work. For this reason, we recently bought this house, and enjoy it whenever we can and rent it out when we can't get up.
