Book your spring getaway now. Private hot tub and a pellet grill/smoker.

When you enter you will immediately feel right at home. The multiple open spaces offer room for you to spread out and have plenty of cozy seating to spend quality time together. Central air will keep you cool in the summer and a gas fireplace for those cold winter nights after skiing. Lots of sunlight through the back. French doors leading to a back deck with a grill, hot tub and fire pit. A surround sound media room upstairs with wet bar comes fully equipped with mini fridge, ice maker and sink for easy clean up. The three season screened porch offers a peaceful respite to enjoy nature. Let the chef of the group prepare a nice home cooked meal with a fully functioning kitchen with all the pots, pans and utensils provided for you. The first floor has a master suite with a large soaking tub and separate shower. The second and third bedroom are also on the main level with the second full bathroom. The newly finished basement offers three additional bedrooms and a media/gaming area. This home gives everyone plenty of space to start and end the day. Finally, scale the small drop off behind the back yard and enjoy a short hike through the property’s 3 acres to Mill Brook.

Please be aware of the VRBO cancelation policy before booking. We understand that there is risk in booking early during these times. There is also risk in not booking early and not getting the dates and homes that you want. If the state of New Hampshire welcome travelers, than so do we. We will not give refunds outside of the stated refund policy due to discomfort or unwillingness/inability to follow quarantine guidelines for your state. Our home is very isolated and in our opinion, a safe way for families to travel and connect during these stressful times. We do offer a partial refund if you cancel on short notice, and we are able to rent the home for your dates to another family. Please be sure that your risk comfort aligns with this house rule.

Family ski weekend
We found plenty of room for all of us...kids aged 8-16 LOVED the basement with a bunk room and many video games and other entertainment including fuseball, basketball, and bowling/shufffleboard. Many enjoyed the hot tub as well after a full day of skiing and snowboarding. The kitchen was well equipped and plenty of seating for meals as well as TV watching. Gave us a wonderful weekend for family bonding.

Fun Family Getaway
We rented Charlie and Sue’s cabin for Thanksgiving! Lots of room for a family to spread out with multiple common rooms to gather. Kitchen supplies were limited, only a few pots, pans, and knives, but we made do! Overall we had a great stay!

Our 2nd annual September trip
We love this VRBO house fir so many reasons! First, the location is primo. Just a 1/4 of a mile From the best breakfast place in NH @ Benton’s Sugar Shack (be sure to ask for Cathy as your server … she’s amazing!). Also, the house is close to the lakes & mountains and just a short drive to both schools we play back-to-back soccer games against at Holderness and New Hampton. Next, it’s clean, comfortable, full of games (foos ball, pop-a-shot, shuffle, and classic arcade games, as well as a hot tub! Finally, the hosts are communicative and kind. We look forward to next year already! Five out of five stars fir everything!

Get your ack together
You could at least mow the yard. Buy some pot and pans, 1 flying pan that was burn, a very large pot isn’t cooking utensils. They’re outside grill lit like it hasn’t been clean for over a year and your hot tub is turned around backwards where the controllers are not next to the house the way it should be a People getting men in don’t kill themselves.

Great place
This place is very spacious and the communication with the owners is very good. There were a few things that were broken that the owner did mention. Only downside is the AC is a bit on the weaker side, we could not seem to keep the inside any lower than 80 degrees. Still, a very enjoyable stay and space.

Great house for large groups
We really enjoyed our stay the layout of the house was great for large group. Peaceful secluded spot yet right off the road and easy to get where you need to go. My only critique is to find a way to work on allowing for an earlier check-in even if the checkout needs to be earlier. 4 PM check in with a large group with kids makes it very difficult to get situated everyone fed and prepared for early morning activities the following day. Ideal would be at 2 PM check in 10 AM check out.

Sink into Relaxation!
We had such a fun escape with family friends! It was easy to sink into relaxation and enjoy the ease of the day without a set agenda. The versatile main level offered plenty of room for everyone to be together. The finished basement & 2nd floor provided bonus spaces for the kids’ escape (video games, movies, crafts…) We enjoyed a snowy walk exploring the neighborhood, home cooked meals, hot tub fun, fireplace relaxation, ice skating at Waterville Valley and shopping at the Tilton outlets. Owners are super accommodating and responsive. It’s important to them that their guests have a good time…which we did, and can’t wait to visit again!

Fun family weekend
We had such a good time last year that we returned again this year for another weekend getaway. We visited with three families and had plenty of room for sleeping, cooking, playing games and watching movies. The house is new and clean and a wonderful place for friends or extended family to spend time together.

Absolutely awesome! We’ll be back ;)
For our high school soccer team from Providence, RI - this was a 5-star + experience! Aside from the glorious hot tub dip to ease aching muscles in between games - the foos ball and shuffle were competitive fun! We watched the Cobra Kai season opener on Netflix and made a pasta dinner. You can miss the pancakes & blue berry muffins down the road (.03 miles) at Benton’s Sugar Shack! We hope to make this an annual tradition of preseason match ups vs. Holderness & New Hampton! Thank you so much.
