Needs updating outside, things are aged. Mouse in kitchen. Septic system failed, could not get ahold of owner. Limited wireless access. Hours later when office relayed issue, the maintenance person arrived, he was sympathetic and helped us get into another unit 15 minitues away that was also run by VACASA. We packed up and moved but unfortunately new unit did not have a hot tub. It was our anniversary.
The place was fantastic. Great central location to get places for a day hike and enjoy the local area. The house itself was huge and very spacious, we never felt too crowded. The hot tub was great and very clean. Would definitely stay here again.
Amazing property the cleaners they hire should mop more often. Besides that it was a beautiful peaceful stay, close to a little stream creek that runs behind the house ina 1 minute trail walk from the home. The rooms where all comfortable and had an ac in each room and living space. Only down side was we did get bit by ticks but thats to be expected when in the mountains. I noticed the only poeple bit and needed ticks pulled off, slept in the upstairs bedrooms. Everything was just exceptional close to waterparks and to waterfalls that are worth site seeing. We also went to swim and fish about 30 minutes away in a lake not far at all. Bring your telescopes to not miss out on the incredible stars that show up there at night. Would very much book a stay again.
The house is as advertised. It was nice to sit in the hot tub at night and listening to the owls. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful.While both TVs seemed to have surround sound systems or speakers, we could not figure out how to engage them (and these kinds of things are not new to us). I would recommend that someone write up some directions and leave in each room - it would have been nice to enjoy those features, especially in the big 'theater room' downstairs. Unfortunately the glass cooktop was filthy with baked on food. I was able to clean it before use, but it was a bit disappointing. Some of the pans were put away wet and were rusty, and some of the silverware had food caked on. I'm in the habit of washing things before using them anyway, but do expect that things should be visibly clean. We realize that this could have been a result of the prior guest or the cleaning crew. I will echo the comment of another guest in regards to the pans that were at the house. They were all warped, which made it very difficult to cook things.
I loved our stay here. We came to an exceptionally clean house. No complaints other than the toilet in the basement. Whether it was #1 or #2 it got clogged. Every time we used the bathroom we had to use the plunger right after. Very stressful lol. Other than that everything was great.
Great property, loved how the hot tub was ready to go, hot and clean, plenty of privacy. Picked this house because it was close to the Franconia hike i planned to do. If i had to nit pick.. ceiling fan blades were dusty in the bedroom and the mattress wasnt too comfortable. Kitchen supplies were bare bones had sugar and maple syrup but no cooking oil, the one item i forgot! had to drive to price chopper and pick up butter that looked like a bunny so all good!
This cabin rental was perfect for my friends and family who stayed w me at different times. Clean, very functional with enough room to allow separation between members. Fireplace and hot tub were super to have. Very quiet location and with access to mountains and cool little villages/shops nearby. A few notes for renters-owner/managers. Make sure people know up front you have to supply your own firewood. Cooking stove is glass top style and a couple of the skillets provided have rounded(not flat) bottoms and will not heat up
What a great place for a winter week's stay! Quiet and peaceful, with great upstairs and downstairs spaces for everyone. Walking trails right outside your door, warm and cozy inside. Would come again!
The fees associated with the rental cost mode than the nights stay making this way more expensive than intended. No where in the listing are the check-in instructions because you have to create an account through Vacasa to verify your identity before a code is emailed to you. I "messaged the host" to notify them I never received an email act e recieivng a text stating that I was going to and it was all just very confusing until I googled Vacasa myself and created an account. This is incredibly difficult to accomplish when you're in an area that has little to no service. Overall the properly was very enjoyable but the check in process makes me not want to do it again.
We have stayed here in 2021 and the house was just as beautiful as before. The house was clean and the check in process was easy. The hot tub is an amazing bouns.tub id tub
It was a great home, private location, fire pit, grill, everything that was to be expected. Nice little trail walk to the creek. I would come back.
The management company needs to clean a bit better in general; e.g., on under furniture, dust, upkeep porch, and some manicuring of the landscape is needed. The bottom of the fire pit is rotted out and owner should get a new one.
The house and property was much nicer then we anticipated. We travel with two (legitimate) service dogs and the property was perfect for them to get their exercise and just run & play. We will definitely return there.
We stayed here from Thursday night through Sunday morning. The place was clean, everything was good and I have no complaints from that aspect of our stay. However, there was mold.. and a lot of it. One entire wall, the wall in the front against the 4 seasons has an overgrowth of mold that is all over the paneling. By night 2 half of us couldnât breath from inhaling the mold all weekend and we had to keep windows open to let in fresh air.
Once that is addressed, this place is a 10/10 stay.
Property was cozy, clean and in good condition. A few items needed addressing. We could not communicate with the host directly to address one bigger concern and the management company couldnât resolve it. Unfortunate
The house was very nice and we enjoyed our stay for the most part but there were a few issues that were upsetting. The biggest problem was the lack of working WiFi. We only had internet access for the first 4 hours of our stay. It was out for unknown reasons the rest of the 4 day weekend. We contacted the management company but nothing was done. Due to the location of the property, there was no cellular service either so we were very isolated.
Others issues were that the dishwasher leaked, the kitchen was not fully equipped for cooking, there was no firewood or fire starters, and we found a condom wrapper under one of the beds. Would not return and would not stay at a Vacasa property again.
Beautiful house with great furnishings, comfortable beds, a well supplied kitchen, and plenty of outdoor amenities. Outdoor hot tub was an absolute hit with our group!
Location is remote and quiet which is great for peaceful mornings and evenings, but it's still close to Woodstock/Lincoln for daytime activities.
Be prepared to disconnect - there is wifi available but it is slow and spotty, especially with 4 users accessing at once.
All started well, with just the hot tub not working( no big deal). We spent 3 out of the 5 nights there. On the third night we went to bed, woke up to a biohazard. There was raw sewage coming up through the bathroom downstairs, flooding the hallway and into the bedroom downstairs, underneath the tiles. They quickly found us a new place to stay. We are still very unhappy, we lost a day of our vacation, Which we only get to go every 3 years or so. We were highly disappointed that they would not allow us to stay and extra night despite being open until we received a text stating we wouldnât.
Very clean upon arrival. Amazing location sitting 15 mins away from Franconia Notch. Nice View of the Kinsmanâs. Comfortable beds. Just what the doctor ordered. Amazing week. Amazing property. Plenty of wildlife. Only things Iâd recommend would be better exterior lighting as it gets quite dark. Didnât bother me much more so my wife. Canât wait to get back.
Iâm going to keep it short because the whole unacceptable experience could take awhile. We couldnât get in because the key was in a lock box that we werenât given a number for. The alarm periodically for 3 days came on with the security management calling us to see if we knew the code and of course we didnât. Very annoying. The last time it went off it was horrible, I couldnât even hear the security people on the phone. I ( the guest) was asked to change the batteries. The hot tub didnât work from the time we got there and still not fixed by the time we left 5 days later. Also the ticks are bad . I believe 4 out of the 8 of us had 1-3 ticks on them everyday. I was messaged Vacasa ( property management) from day one and just kept being told there were working on it . I feeL they were blowing me off. Unacceptable
