Sweet little place. Excellent location, it's quiet with places to walk and explore. Pet friendly is a great plus!Home needs better mattresses and pillows. Also needs airing out. Views from many windows with good blinds to help the getaway feel special, and airing quick weather permitting. We didn't use the sauna, so I can't review.

Smelled like cigarettes - horrible experience!

This was honestly the worst rental experience we have ever had. The issues started with the day of check in - the steep driveway was not plowed for our arrival even though it had not snowed for 4 days so we had to shovel ourselves to be able to get up the driveway, the heat was turned off in the home so it was 42 degrees inside (we have 2 little children), the house was advertised as a non-smoking property however clearly smelled like cigarettes inside and was littered with cigarette butts all outside the property. Additionally, there was a dead mouse in the house, a fire pit was advertised but then the check in email instructions said we could not use, and my 3 year old son woke up with bites all over him which were either flea or bed bug bites. Despite communicating with corporate Vacasa on the day of check in, every day of our vacation, and afterwards in regards to all of these issues, they were not able to relocate us and showed little concern for these significant issues. Corporate Vacasa tells you only the local operations manager can assist; however, the local operations manager never called me despite numerous attempts via email and phone. The local housekeeper did drop off additional sheets; however, that does not compensate for the fact the property was falsely advertised as non-smoking. The property management company obviously did not visit the home prior to check in to make sure it was acceptable for guests. I would strongly urge to not book this property.

Perfect little gateway

The moment you walk in you feel like you are home. The view was perfect in living area and up stairs bedroom. Even in the kitchen you felt like you could be apart of the conversation happening in the living area. It is a house my friends and I decide that it would be a house we would love to come back to in the future.

Nice place

Lovely stay. Very close to Gunstock. I would say the cabin would get tight with more than 4. Not a lot of storage area for your activity gear. Really enjoyed the sauna.

Quick weekend away at Gunstock

This house was perfect for a quick family ski trip to Gunstock. House was clean, beds were comfortable, and we were mere minutes from the mountain. Minor issues getting into the house - a text from Vacasa gave me a code, but I had to read a separate email to discover that the code was for a not easy to find key box. But a quick call to customer service and we were in.

Birthday Trip

We came up for my birthday and pumpkin fest in Laconia. It was a great location, close to Mount Major for our hike and Laconia for the festival. The house was really nice, pretty spot on to the listing. There were a few kitchen tools that would have been nice to have (measuring cups/mixing bowls) but we were able to work around it. All in all, the house was great. Check in was so easy and so was check out.

Great Little Gilford Home

Excellent location. Close proximity to amenities. Best part is you can walk out the front door to hiking trails in the Belknaps! House was comfortable and clean. Kitchen utensils could use a bit of upgrading and stick a few more bowls. Vacasa was ok. They did not follow up on some communication.
