NH Ski Trip

The property was exactly as described. The house is very comfortable. It is in a quiet setting that feels like you are away from everything but you are actually close to town. It is centrally located to many attractions in the White Mountains. We went to 3 different ski resorts, all within a 30 minute drive.

Nice house but...

It's a nice house, nice neighborhood, close to the highway but you don't really hear it. It doesn't have A/C and the first couple days were miserable because the humidity was awful and the fans didn't do anything. The house is good for 10 people to sleep but doesn't offer enough towels only 8 towels for 10 people and the kitchen needs more silverware, mugs and a coffee maker. The keurig they have is nice but not for 10 adults that want coffee in the morning. The first floor was with a smell of humidity and the dehumidifier wasn't doing much the first couple days. It was a big storm while we were there and my car got crashed with a big tree branch. I know the owners can't predict the weather, but they should cut some trees. The house is nice but probably go in winter time. The house needs an A/C.

Mom and Papa on second level, with loft for a 19 year old. 2 pups as well. Location was another bonus. Near everything you need. From pancakes to Storyland.. Great week.
