Dog-friendly condo near skiing with amazing Mt.Washington views, fireplace & W/D

Had a largely positive stay here. It's a great, dog-friendly home base for activities in the area such as Storyland, visits to N. Conway, hiking, or a trip up Mt Washington. Spacious, well-equipped (unlike other reviewers, no complaints about the kitchen). Plenty airing space for dogs. Would be happy to come back. Our main complaint: the directions to the house in the welcome email are comically wrong, so we spent forever hunting it down. Coming off Linderhof Strasse, you have to take a sharp LEFT at the end of the road, not a right as the message states. Off Ludwig Strasse, the problem is that the south end of Christmas Mountain Road is actually called Santa Lane, so you can't get onto Christmas Mountain Road from Ludwig Strasse. It doesn't help that Google Maps (which opens when you click the Get Directions link in the welcome message) shows you the wrong building! It *is* correct in Apple Maps. Of course none of the people you meet and ask for directions actually live there so nobody can help you. Also, contrary to the welcome email, *no* Vacasa signage out front. (Minor) issues: Main kitchen light didn't work. Screens are missing in some windows, so you can't really open them to let air in, which would have been nice to cool the house down on hot summer nights (no A/C, which we didn't realize so entirely our fault). But they provide several fans. Smoke detector started beeping the low battery signal at night. Vacasa field service responded by text promptly.

We enjoyed our stay and loved that the property overlooked Mount Washington. The property was the perfect location to jet to Diana's Bath and Storyland with the family. The property was not as clean as we expected when we arrived but Vacasa was quick to apologize and would remedy for the next person. We accidentally wandered to The Club which was members only and were rudely confronted for not belonging. We apologized and left but it did make it clear that renters were not to wander the property beyond their immediate rental. We would have appreciated more written instructions in the rental with local information and restrictions beyond the Vrbo app. We would stay here again happily.

Very nice well kept but just needs some of the basics in the kitchen.

Great condo, all the amenities you would need . Heat and wood stove warm the space quickly . Beautiful views. Located close to everything but just far enough From the chaos .

Great views of White Mountains. Perfect location for skiing Wildcat. Kitchen didn’t have many amenities (tools, pots/pans). Perfect for a family.

The condo was old and definitely needed some tlc. However, it was nicely decorated and clean… for the most part. I was disappointed that they rearranged the bedrooms and my husband and I didn’t get the “master suite” with the private bathroom. They switched the beds so the bunk beds were in the “master” and had the private bath. My kids enjoyed having the private bathroom. The kitchen wasn’t stocked that well compared to others I’ve stayed at. The fireplace was gas, not wood, and we couldn’t use it because it had a strong gas smell in the room when it was lit. The rental company, Vacasa, was very nice, prompt and made everything work smoothly. And YES ! Great view of Mt. Washington.

Plenty of space for all 5 of us. Bedrooms were big, bathrooms were clean and well stocked. Living space was great! Lots of board games and seating. Would stay here again.

The livingroom and dining room were great for our family. Super comfortable. It doesn't take much to heat the place if you turn the fireplace on, we were able to be comfortable with the electric at a minimum. Kitchen could've used a few more staple pans and tools. Bathrooms were standard. Still only enough linen for 4 people when reserved for 5. It was extremely difficult to find at night when we arrived and needed to call Vacasa for assistance. Also the trash compactor was locked and were unable to put our trash in it when it was time to leave. Food delivery is not a realistic option.

I've stayed in this area many times, and that's how I chose this particular condo. Also, the price was very good. However, communications with Vacasa were troubled from the beginning. (1) I attempted to find out the bed configuration including using the posted photos and got conflicting descriptions from Vacasa. There is not a queen sleep sofa as I was told, however there is a full bed with 2 twins. (2) The kitchen was not very clean so we cleaned it ourselves. (3) We had mechanical problems such as not being able to control the gas stove and received no support whatsoever. The main view windows would not open or close and were dirty. I emailed and texted, but nothing was done. The views were as advertised and we love this location. And the price was good. But Vacasa was not. I will look for a place with a real host next time.

Although the property is a bit dated, it provides all the comforts you'd expect and great views of the mountains, in our case, Mount Washington! All was neat, clean and welcoming.
