This is a charming chalet with beautiful cherry wood ceilings accented with dark wood beams, a wood burning stove, butcher block island, full stand-by generator, AC mini splits, and so much more.

It is in a great location for all seasons. In warmer months, we are 5 minutes to beautiful Ellacoya State Beach on Lake Winnipesaukee and 15 minutes to Weirs Beach & Boardwalk. In the winter months, we are only 5 minutes from Gunstock Mountain Resort that has skiing, snowboarding and more. Gunstock Mountain also is a fun spot in summer months, as it has an adventure park with ziplines, e-bike tours, segway tours, aerial treetop adventures, scenic lift rides, hiking, and the mountain Coaster. In the fall, you can view some of the most colorful foliage. Whatever the season, you are sure to find local activities to enjoy.

    The Maddens were great host. Very prompt responding to email/messages. As well as sending check-in information. The house was exactly as advertised. Actually, it is even better in person. We all loved it, clean, plenty of room for the 5 of us. We are already planning a return trip next year. Location was great to everywhere we wanted to go.

    I had a wonderful stay at Francis’s charming home near Gunstock Mountain. The house is incredibly cute and cozy, with a beautifully functional wood stove that made the atmosphere warm and inviting after a day on the slopes. Its location is perfect—just a short drive to Gunstock Mountain, making it an ideal spot for ski lovers. Plus, there are several great restaurants nearby, which made dining convenient and enjoyable. I highly recommend this lovely place for anyone looking to relax and enjoy the beauty of the area!

    I cannot recommend this house enough. We will definitely be going back. The house is cozy and surrounded by trees. It feels like a private getaway but is actually super accessible and a 12 min drive from any store you’d need. The owners were so pleasant and easy to work with. Absolutely a 10/10

    Wonderful location for skiing at Gunstock Mountain. We loved the wood stove, the beds were crazy comfortable, the living area was comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals for the gang. Highly recommend.

    Very clean and comfortable! The house has cute NH decor and the beds/sheets/duvet were all soft and luxurious. The house is in a quiet wooded neighborhood and the drive way is a great size for our 4 cars we had. The backyard fire pit was great as well.

    We went up here for my sisters bachelorette party and it was everything we hoped. The place was a cute little house right near the lake and everything was easy to access. The property owners were amazing and assisted us throughout the trip in whatever we needed. I would highly recommend this place to anyone!

    Excellent accommodations where host has thought about every item you will need and more! Loved the open concept we hosted Thanksgiving dinner and had every dish, bowl, pot, pan we needed! Beds were clean and comfy and wood stove was a bonus in the pretty snow we got. Host was receptive and made our stay easy. We will be back! Beds were comfortable

    We chose this property for its location to attend a family wedding. We were not necessarily looking for a vacation vibe, more just a place to be together as a family over being in a hotel. The house is in a quiet neighborhood and had a private yard with a fire pit and plenty of parking. We had an issue with the lock on arrival not being properly programmed which was a bit of a scare. With some luck we eventually got in. This could have been a bigger problem for some. The owners were very available prior to our stay as well as throughout the weekend which I appreciated. They offered an early check in which was gracious. They were attentive to each message and expressed their apology for the lock inconvenience . Overall the property was fine. Details like items in the kitchen drawers and cupboards that could have been organized and cleaner, dish drying mat that seemed older and not freshly laundered (didn’t use) and mattresses that didn’t have mattress covers were noted areas that needed attention.We enjoyed the coffee bar, large dining table and comfortable sectional for seating. The washer and dryer are quite large. Our king bed was comfortable. More a cabin feel overall. Check out was easy with the usual requests. We have stayed in many VRBO properties as well as other rentals. Overall it suited our needs. It was pricey after adding in all the fees in my opinion, that is just how it is. We payed a cleaning fee but was not on the receiving end of that honestly.
