This home was everything advertised and more; plenty of space for all 3 families, extras in the kitchen and throughoit not typically included but greatly appreciated, and an excellent location. We were all over the area, from Lincoln/North Woodstock to Waterville Valley, Plymouth and even the North Conway area, and this was a perfect home base. Yakov was always responsive the limited times I had questions...we will definitely be back, excellent experience.

Our stay was wonderful. The views were fantastic. The house had more than what we needed. The pool and ping pong tables were fun but need new accessories. It snowed while we were there and the driveway is steep so it would have been nice to have a little sand. Also we had to shovel the steps when we arrived.

We stayed at this property with friend to see the White Mountains and enjoy the Fall foliage. The property was at a perfect location, super clean, almost new, with lots of space and high-end features. The kitchen and the outdoor grill were very comfortable to cook for a large group (12 people). We enjoyed the sauna and had lots of fun in the game room. The host, Yakov, was very friendly and fast in communicating and helped our stay be more enjoyable. I would highly recommend this property and go back again!

Beautiful home for our extended family to gather for my sons wedding. Plenty of room for everyone to spread out. Teens and young adults enjoyed the basement with pool table and ping pong. Well equipped kitchen. Comfortable beds- in fact 3 family members took note of the mattresses to buy for their own homes. :-)

Luxury home perfect for large families

We enjoyed a great ski week here in February. A short ride to Waterville Valley Mountain with all of the bells and whistles after a long ski day. This home could easily accommodate three families with kids - three master bedrooms with bathrooms attached and plenty of additional bedrooms and sleeping/hangout spaces for the kids. It really is a special home and we hope to stay here again next year. Many thanks to our hosts, Yakov and family.

A hidden gem

We loved our stay at this house. It was very modern and super clean with many thoughtful amenities, like heated towel racks in the bathrooms, a sauna, usb chargers in the bedrooms and computer desks for those who needed to do some work. Yakov was a great host, he responded quickly to every request and was easy and pleasant to deal with. We enjoyed the gas fireplace in the living room and the beautiful view of the mountains from the windows. As we there to ski, Yakov recommended a nice ski rental 10 minutes from the house that was on our way to Loon mountain. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would love to come back another time.

For example, the code to enter was not working upon our arrival. Yakov immediately answered my text and remedied the issue. The home was immaculate and welcoming.

Beautiful House

House was great. Nice location, beautiful view and lots to do for everyone at the house. Game room was filled with lots of games. All the rooms including the bedrooms were spacious. Went to Thornton for a baby shower for my niece, the house was big enough for all 7 of us and more. The host has more "extras" in the house than most of the VRBO homes or condos I have rented in the past. The laundry room had extra bed sheets and towels, pantry had extra toilet paper and paper towels. The kitchen had cabinets that had random items in them, coffee, sugar, condiments etc. Can't say enough about this house and host. Will definately stay again.
