Ski/Lake Chalet in Gilford, NH

When my friends & I arrived at our unit, the doors were unlocked. Contacted the owner & he replied that he had no keys to the unit & to leave it unlocked. He went on to say he never had any issues. The next day we came across some keys in a kitchen drawer. One of them worked in the rear door. The ground floor was under construction & looked horrible. Not mentioned in the listing. The dining room chairs were more like outdoor furniture. One broke!! (Told the owner). It would explain the absence of outdoor furniture. Which was in the. The listing indicated a fixed air conditioning unit on the top floor (only throws heat) & an absent portable unit on the ground floor.The spiral staircase was a safety issue. They start in the basement & goes to the 2nd floor. No matter if you’re 4 or 7 feet tall you can bump your head or otherwise As most of us did! The laneway isabout 100' long, It had a 40-to-45-degree incline with a rut around 18 to 22 inches wide by 6-8 feet long, and in spots, 4-5 inches deep at the entrance. The laneway was covered with sand and pebbles. We had to park on a 20 to 25 degree incline at the top. Thank God at the top it was wide enough so we can do 3 point turns to leave. NOT BIKER FRIENDLY! Movies were buffering/freezing. I performed a speedtest on my phone & it registered 7-8Mbs. No where near the 100Mbs+ as advertised. No propane in the BBQ tank. The TV swivels off the wall which was amazing, when it worked. The sound bar was insane!! No, really!

Cottage was clean, and well kept, we were 8 adults and we fit comfortably, only downside was outside yard left something to be desired (no outdoor place to sit or fire pit ) about a 10 minute drive to Main Street in Weirs we would return

Adorable house. Gorgeous view. Perfect distance to Laconia.

We booked this property and paid but it wasn’t for rent. Please don’t make the same mistake we did.
