This was the second time we stayed at this home this year. We are from Maine, but love the NH mountains. Each time we have stayed, they home has been clean, cozy, relaxing, just a total home-away-from-home vibe. The fact that it is dog-friendly and we can bring the furkids makes a world of difference. The yard is large enough for them to run and play, the location is set back from any major roads. It's just perfect. We can't wait to come back in the spring!

Quiet and small good for crashing. Unfortunately we found the beds uncomfortable and there was mold in the ACs so we could not use them. We ended up leaving a day early because we could not sleep. But again for the price it was to be expected.

A slice of heaven.

My experience with VRBO and Vacasa was seamless from start to finish. The property exceeded our expectations and Vacasa was so prompt in responding to any questions I had. The home was spacious, cozy and charming. We could tell it was very loved and cared for. My wife and I drove up from Boston and the location was perfect for us since we were spending most of our time hiking in the Notch which was a 10 min drive. We brought our dog and she was loving it. The house is dog friendly and had everything we needed. It was also super clean! Down the road in Franconia you’ll find a great market, an awesome coffee shop and some yummy restaurants. There is also Fox Hill Park for nearby hiking. We had the best week and can’t wait to come back!

The place was perfect for four of us...each had our own bed, but could easily accommodate 6 adult...

Everything we needed was there for our cooking and eating. No need to bring anything! Near the mountains with lots to do and many nice restaurants nearby. Clean and comfortable. Would rent again.

Would definitely stay again!

This house was perfect! It was very close to hiking, many other outdoor activities, Mt Washington, good restaurants, and a very nice grocery store. The house did smell a little of moth balls as mentioned in other reviews, but once the doors were open and we had fans running, you didn’t smell it at all! The kitchen is beautiful and had everything we needed and then some. We highly recommend and are definitely planning to stay at this place again!

The perfect get away!

I took my grown daughters on a long weekend trip to explore Franconia Notch. This home was perfect...clean, comfortable, plenty of space, a well equipped kitchen to cook dinners and enjoy time together! We could see the mountains peeking over the trees for morning coffee. We found some great spots to get into the mountains for hiking within a half hour drive. I look forward to coming back sometime soon! Thank you!!

Week Away

Nice house in good location and very clean. It was great to be right by a park, market, and ice cream shop with the kids. The house was ready early so we got to check in early which worked out great, thanks vascaa for that. Only negative was the living room/kitchen was really warm without ac no matter the time of day or weather unfortunately. Othet than that tho we enjoyed it.

Perfect pad to explore the Whites

Lovely little cabin not too far from I-93, super convenient for those looking to bag a few peaks or just explore the area. Super quiet and relaxing, too. Property has had some nice little upgrades and feels homey, with all the commodities. Only thing I would improve are the mattresses but everyone was still able to get a nice rest so I guess it’s alright. Franconia is a quaint little town with all the basic stuff but you’ll want to either head down to Woodstock or up to Littleton to get more options. We’ll definitely be back!

Great place to stay!

I just finished a 5 night stay with my family (total 4 adults and 1 child). We loved the location - proximity to Franconia Notch attractions is great (Basin, Flume Gorge, Artist Bluff trail, Echo Lake Beach - which is amazing, btw!) As others have mentioned, the smell of mothballs is strong when you first enter, but we barely noticed throughout the rest of our stay. The kitchen is well-stocked with cookware, utensils, plates, etc. The TV instructions seem out-of-date; there is a Roku TV with streaming capability, but no regular cable. The lower-level bed is more comfortable than the second level. AC units in the windows were AMAZING during the 90+ heatwave we had last week. Well-stocked with simple children's toys and many books; our 2-year old happily spent all week reading and playing with the provided books and toys instead of his own. Thank you for providing a safe and clean space for our vacation!
