About this property

Private 5 bedroom/3 Bath- SKI downhill/cross country+Golf,Hike,kayak,swim,relax.

Perfect house for one or two families to enjoy a peaceful and/or active vacation in the middle of nature and with many amenities. This is a stand alone home with lots of privacy and none of the noise, activity and clutter of the condominiums. You can sleep peacefully without all the noise of condo doors slamming, kids running around yelling, car doors slamming, cars coming and going at all hours, heavy traffic....
Please send any inquiry with questions by clicking Email to right on screen. The house has a flexible layout but we recommend to maximize comfort you limit to 6 adults leaving 2 bedrooms for kids. It is possible to bring inflatable mattresses and sleeping bags but only with advance permission by owner. We understand large houses are difficult to find and even harder to afford - you can exceed these numbers but accommodations may start to feel a little cramped for longer rentals, especially if you aren't out taking advantage of the many outdoor activities or using inflatable beds in the living spaces.
The house is located on a large secluded private lot in a heavily wooded area of the Eastman resort community. It has an open floor plan with two separate living areas, 5 bedrooms (sleeps 11 plus), 3 bathrooms, dining room, sun room, office loft, open deck and covered porch. There are many large windows and skylights providing natural lighting and wooded views. The living area on the main floor features a large stone fireplace giving it a chalet feel and provides a spacious area for socializing, while the second living area on the lower level features a large flat screen tv for gaming/videos, cable provided, a foosball table and gas potbelly stove and is perfect for kids, sports enthusiasts or anyone else who wants to break from the group.
The main floor has one bedroom which has a queen bed (sleeps 2) and is connected to the first floor bathroom. The second floor has two more bedrooms connected by a second bathroom. One bedroom has a full/twin bunk set (sleeps 3) and the other has a queen bed (sleeps 2). The lower level also has two bedrooms, one with a full bed (sleeps 2) and the other with a full bed (sleeps 2). The third bathroom is on the lower level.
Activities:
The natural surroundings provide unlimited opportunity for outdoor activities as well as full-time relaxation.
Eastman’s outdoor activities include an 18-hole golf course, over 17 miles of hiking, snow shoeing and cross country ski trails (also a cross-country/snowshoe center with rentals), a sled hill, ice skating pond, 6 private beaches on the 360 acre lake, canoe/kayak/boat rentals, fishing, 14 tennis courts and a basketball court. Eastman’s new multi-million dollar recreation center features an indoor swimming pool, fitness center with state-of-the art exercise equipment, game room and meeting areas. Additionally, there is a club house with a restaurant and bar (both with outdoor seating weather permitting) and a large banquet room.
The location is also convenient to many other new Hampshire natural and community attractions including downhill skiing (approximately 15 miles to Sunapee mountain, 10 miles to Whaleback mountain and 55 miles to Killington or Okemo), lake Sunapee, Quechee gorge (Vermont’s little grand canyon), many state parks, hiking trails, biking trails (rails to trails and mountain biking), rivers and lakes and many wonderful small towns such as Hanover (Dartmouth college), Lebanon and Woodstock which feature many restaurants, shops, museums and festivals.

Great stay in a cozy place

The house is located on a private lot, surrounded by tons of trees and as such very private. Being part of a community, one has access to great facilities. The house is spacious with large bedrooms. It is very well maintained and very cozy. Had a great stay.

We had a fantastic stay, even though the reason for the trip was for a funeral. The place was everything we needed, and was the best communication we have ever received from a VRBO host. Thanks, Jim! We look forward to staying with you again.

Family getaway

The property was everything it said it was. If you want privacy for your family this is the place to stay. The lake was a short drive away with clean beautiful water which was great for swimming and relaxing. Jim, the owner, was excellent. We had a few small issues which he addressed quickly. The house was spacious enough for our entire family. I would recommend this place to everyone.

Big House and Great Spot

This is a great house for big groups. We had six adults and five kids, and we fit into the house great. And it was perfect for kids to run around and have fun. It is also great to have a nearby pool to use and an ice skating rink and cross country skiing. A great place and Jim is super!

Great stay

Jim’s home was great and spacious for our large group. Plenty of living space for different activities. The kitchen had everything we could need for cooking and more. Communication was great. We talked on the phone the day prior to go over some things as well as community activities. One thing that differs from place to place is check out item. One checkout item was to minimize cleaning time by laundering the towels and sheets. For a large group, this can take a lot of time. We started the towels the night before and sheets the morning of. Just be aware of that part of check out. It wasn’t an issue and was communicated. Thanks for the great place, Jim!

Very disappointing!

We selected this property for a "girls getaway" for 5 women because it had 5 bedrooms; however we were only able to use 3 of the bedrooms. As soon as we walked in, the place reeked of cat urine/ammonia. The strong ammonia smell caused us to cough and our eyes to water. We discovered the basement carpeting was saturated. Apparently the water heater had leaked all over the carpet (and a new water heater was installed). We could not use the two bedrooms in the basement or the family room (where the TV and foosball table were located). We had to empty the dehumidifier several times a day. The outdoor gas grill was totally disgusting. It looked like it had never been cleaned and the utensils were still on the grill covered with food. Linens and towels were threadbare and in need of replacement, outside trim peeling, cobwebs on windows and drawer front missing on dresser. The metal bunk beds creaked terribly, making it impossible to move and not wake up the person sleeping below. If the dishwasher was running and we tried to use the blow dryer, the electricity went out. Luckily we found the breaker box. The furniture is not as pictured on this site. I would not recommend this property at all. We should have demanded a refund from the start, but since my sister booked the house, I didn't want to risk her losing her deposit and I didn't want to hurt her feelings by complaining. As it was, it took 3 weeks for her to get her deposit back even though we left the place cleaner than we found it.

Could have been much better for the price

Ok, let’s start with the pros: good location, good road access, good overall appearance, ok heat for the weather, which was much warmer for the season so cannot judge whether heating was adequate or not, good communication with host… that’s pretty much it… Cons - not sure where to start - let's put this way - the property’s “qualities” do not justify the commanded prices… I understand it’s new years but let’s begin that it cannot accommodate 12 people comfortably - there isn't enough bedding for 3 4-member families, not to mention the capacity advertised is 14… next, every step in this house's third floor can be heard on the ground floor… toilet flushing 5-6am, kitchen steps 6-7am, oh yeah, forget about quiet time and good nights sleep, if you fancy such… all in all, this is an older generation house that was never designed with with noise isolation in mind... cleanliness was well below perfect (for the price) - attention to detail had been the last thing on cleaners minds - patch of hairs on bathroom walls, dust, crumbles, bugs in some rooms, bedroom cabinet drawers last checked/cleaned maybe sometime last year… we explicitly asked if there was a (working) grill on the property for our stay - would have imagined the BBQ igniter was not broken, but to our frustration we had to scramble over how to start the grill for new years dinner at 6pm… last but not least, it only had one 40-yish inch HD TV for a 3-story property… yes, only 1 screen… I mean, I get ppl. should have less screen time but why limit your guests in such 20th century way... I get it could have been mentioned in the description, but come on, who’s checking how many screens are available in a 3 level house - we are in the 21st century, this isn't a luxury... and no need to equip the latest tech but to leave an old 40” screen in there cannot be serious.. the price of a half day's rent can buy you a decent used 55" 4K screen online.. There’s more to be said, like check in at 3pm and check out at 10am - effectively taking away 5 hours of your 24hr daily rental time you pay for, but I will stop here and ask whether you want to spend your time and money here.. maybe these are unimportant for you or maybe owner will take a note and will do something to align its pricing with the property/services being provided, if customer experience is at all important !

Adequate to our needs

This property worked out for us for a family reunion over a two week period, but was complicated by the fact that the head count varied over the rental period. The property was clean and the kitchen was adequately equipped. The television service and WiFi connection were excellent. The owner, was readily accessible and was also very cooperative about refunding per-person fees to adjust for variable daily occupancy above the minimum of 5. I would agree with a prior reviewer that the house is a bit tired. Regarding occupancy: while the owner will allow 14 people, the actual sleeping accommodations are for only 11. We suggest that before booking you read the owner’s expanded description. Dining for more than 6 or 8 is problematic, as the only dining table had 6 chairs, with 2 additional chairs that could be squeezed in around the table. Members of any group beyond 8 would need to eat buffet-style on the living room couches or on the outside, very small deck (in good weather). Another important thing a future renter needs to understand is the price structure, which is not as straight forward as could be hoped for. For instance, while the base rate included 5 occupants for the entire period regardless of actual occupancy below 5, we listed 7 persons on the VRBO site at booking and were charged an additional $420 host fee for those 2 persons. When we got close to our rental period we found that more family members could come and for a few nights we had as many as 11, causing an extra charge for those days of $180. The owner states that it is recommended that the renter put in the maximum head count for the entire stay (14 max) generating a host fee of $15 per person times the number of rental days for all persons greater than 5. Renters could then request a refund from the owner to adjust on a per-day basis for occupancies lower than that initial estimate. It would be optimal to be able to accurately predict occupancy at the time of booking to avoid this complication. Frankly, as renters and as vacation property landlords ourselves, we are accustomed to the base price constituting the entire cost for any number of occupants up to the limit the owner sets upon the property and were surprised by the additional host fees, which also included a $100 property fee for some reason. In order not to be surprised, prospective renters should examine the details of the host fees on the drop-down and contact the owner with any questions.
