Beat the Heat at The Lazy Squirrel Retreat!
Welcome to your White Mountain Retreat!!! We like to call it, The Lazy Squirrel, a name that came to us as we were lounging on the back patio watching all the squirrels eagerly collecting their food from the beautiful Ponderosas just a few feet off the deck.
This 3bed, 2bath upper level condo is the perfect year-round retreat for your family and friends. The moment you walk in you feel right at home, from the heartwarming decorations to the abundance of accommodations and ample space. The living space includes:
*Large Kitchen: Dining table that seats 6; Clean, brand new appliances; Pantry; All the cooking and serving amenities you need.
*Comfortable Living Room: Vaulted ceilings; Comfortable seating; ETS Heating System and Pellet Stove for additional heating if necessary, Flat screen TV (cable & DVD player); Bar area
*Covered Back Patio: Beautiful view; Private; Great location, looking over common grounds, not directly into another patio like most upper units; Very spacious; (4) Padded chairs; BBQ Grill (propane).
*Split Floor Plan:
Master Suite with King bed and full bathroom including large closet, full length mirror, flat screen
TV (cable & DVD player), separate entrance from outside, and laundry room available for extended stays.
Bedroom #1 with Queen bed including closet, full length mirror & flat screen TV (cable & DVD player).
Bedroom #2 with King bed OR (2) Twin beds (can be easily converted, and is comfortable either way), including closet, and flat screen TV (DVD player).
Spacious Full Guest Bathroom

Our retreat offers the 'local' experience and the quiet, peaceful privacy you crave, along with all the comforts of home! Our hope is that you treat this condo as your own and continue to come back to The Lazy Squirrel to celebrate the seasons of the beautiful Pinetop-Lakeside and surrounding areas for years to come!

About the host
Hosted by Cody & Lacey Karns
Pinetop has a special spot in our hearts, as we were recently married at The Gathering Place in the Summer of 2016. We love spending time with our friends & family and have a mutual passion for outdoor activities!
Why they chose this property
Pinetop has it all!!! Just being here and breathing in the clean air is enough to satisfy your soul, let alone the endless recreational fun that surrounds you. Anytime we visit Pinetop we leave with a smile on our faces and a warmth in our hearts!
What makes this property unique
We love how comfortable and warming this unit is, you feel right at home the moment you enter.
We like the open layout, split floorplan, and privacy. The space is very comfortable and accommodating for those lazy, relaxing days in the White Mountains. We also love the location, we are close to all the fun (golfing, casino, bars & restaurants, etc...). It's very nice to have the option to eat out at a variety of delicious restaurants or stay in and cook dinner. Being an upstairs unit, you have complete privacy when you're on the back patio and the view is not of another patio, but of the beautiful common ground area which also adds to the privacy you crave in this atmosphere. Also, because it's upstairs you have the vaulted ceilings, which makes the space seem bigger and more open.
Everything is labeled, creating a very user-friendly stay.
