Castle Rest - At The Center Of Weirs Beach

GREAT space for a family reunion!!! 12 of us, all slept comfortably and throughly enjoyed that porch! Saving this listing for future stays as it was a gem!

Floors were filthy. Was not comfortable walking anywhere in house without shoes on.

Castle Rest has the best location on Weirs Beach. It is directly across the street from the beach. Easy access to the Mount Washington ship and to the train.

Spacious home with room for everyone. Beautiful view of the lake and the mountains from the front porch. Minor issues taken care of promptly.

This was our second stay at Castle Rest, and probably won't be our last (although we may switch off with other beach towns going forward). The location can't be beat, the house is roomy and has charm and character to spare, and the porch is the perfect place to relax and admire the view. With 10 of us staying and more bedrooms than we actually needed, there was plenty of space for the kids to spread out and do their own thing. I did waffle between 4 or 5 stars under the cleanliness heading, not because the housekeeping staff doesn't do an excellent job, but because some needed minor repairs to the exterior are starting to add up. All the same, we wouldn't hesitate to come again!

Excellent location. Beautiful sunrises over the lake. Great swimming. Loved the front porch. Very relaxing week.

Every year we a group of friends and our families go away. We have been to many houses over the years. There were several reasons we liked this house. Location to the beach, shops, restaurants was great. The house was clean when we arrived and well stocked. All linens and towels were provided and clean. They even provided some toiletries! It is definitely an older house but we loved the charm. There was plenty of room with multiple bedrooms, 2 living rooms, and the wrap around porch was an additional living space with amazing views of the lake. We were sad to go and will be back again!

Perfect location Plenty of room for extended family

This year was our second year for a family retreat with all attending. If you don't mind the sound of motorcycles this space is ideal for a family gathering. We had perfect weather as well. The owner heard our suggestion last year and made the change. Thank you, Robert!

We had a wonderful time, loved the house, and have already reserved it for next year. With just the 10 of us we had tons of room and could easily have fit more people. The area had a wide variety of things to do, enough to keep both the outdoorsy family members and the video game addicts happy. The kids loved the playhouse and having their own space to hang out upstairs. The adults congregated mostly in the kitchen and on the porch. We found the house well-equipped and didn't really need any extras. The household items I'd bring again are liquid hand soap (if you prefer liquid to bar soap), paper towels, extra dish towels, and maybe aluminum foil for grilling. I sometimes bring my own pillow and mattress topper when I travel but I totally didn't need them because the mattresses and pillows were plenty comfortable without. A few minor corrections to the listing: We double-checked the fireworks schedule before going and found out that they're no longer every Friday. We lucked out and happened to be there for a Saturday display but they're not an every week thing. And the Juliet balcony in the pics is currently unavailable for safety reasons. Plus, although there were some puzzles and other pastimes scattered about the house, the huge pile of board games shown in the laundry room photo was nowhere to be found—it wasn't a big deal, we just would have brought some of our own if we'd known. All the same, we loved the place enough to grab it again for next year!
