Great home, great location, but…
We stayed here from Thursday night through Sunday morning. The place was clean, everything was good and I have no complaints from that aspect of our stay. However, there was mold.. and a lot of it. One entire wall, the wall in the front against the 4 seasons has an overgrowth of mold that is all over the paneling. By night 2 half of us couldn’t breath from inhaling the mold all weekend and we had to keep windows open to let in fresh air. Once that is addressed, this place is a 10/10 stay.

Communication
Property was cozy, clean and in good condition. A few items needed addressing. We could not communicate with the host directly to address one bigger concern and the management company couldn’t resolve it. Unfortunate

Thank you for sharing your experience, Jean. We apologize for any issues you experienced in communicating with a member of our team, as well as any personal touch you found lacking. This is certainly not the level of service we strive to provide to our valued guests. Rest assured, we have taken your comments seriously and have addressed the matter with our local operations manager. We have confirmed that the faucet in the home has been replaced and is now working correctly. Also, we do provide two shovels for guests to use at this home. One is near the hot tub, and the other is on the front deck. Please note that the ice machine is not listed as an amenity at this home and, therefore, is not available for use. Lastly, we would like to assure you that all beds in the homes are comfortable and suitable for sleeping. Thank you for bringing these matters to our attention, and we hope to have the opportunity to exceed your expectations in the future.

Nice house but problems
The house was very nice and we enjoyed our stay for the most part but there were a few issues that were upsetting. The biggest problem was the lack of working WiFi. We only had internet access for the first 4 hours of our stay. It was out for unknown reasons the rest of the 4 day weekend. We contacted the management company but nothing was done. Due to the location of the property, there was no cellular service either so we were very isolated. Others issues were that the dishwasher leaked, the kitchen was not fully equipped for cooking, there was no firewood or fire starters, and we found a condom wrapper under one of the beds. Would not return and would not stay at a Vacasa property again.

Great quiet stay in Francinia Notch
Beautiful house with great furnishings, comfortable beds, a well supplied kitchen, and plenty of outdoor amenities. Outdoor hot tub was an absolute hit with our group! Location is remote and quiet which is great for peaceful mornings and evenings, but it's still close to Woodstock/Lincoln for daytime activities. Be prepared to disconnect - there is wifi available but it is slow and spotty, especially with 4 users accessing at once.

A notch above
All started well, with just the hot tub not working( no big deal). We spent 3 out of the 5 nights there. On the third night we went to bed, woke up to a biohazard. There was raw sewage coming up through the bathroom downstairs, flooding the hallway and into the bedroom downstairs, underneath the tiles. They quickly found us a new place to stay. We are still very unhappy, we lost a day of our vacation, Which we only get to go every 3 years or so. We were highly disappointed that they would not allow us to stay and extra night despite being open until we received a text stating we wouldn’t.

Great Escape
Very clean upon arrival. Amazing location sitting 15 mins away from Franconia Notch. Nice View of the Kinsman’s. Comfortable beds. Just what the doctor ordered. Amazing week. Amazing property. Plenty of wildlife. Only things I’d recommend would be better exterior lighting as it gets quite dark. Didn’t bother me much more so my wife. Can’t wait to get back.

Wished we stayed somewhere else
I’m going to keep it short because the whole unacceptable experience could take awhile. We couldn’t get in because the key was in a lock box that we weren’t given a number for. The alarm periodically for 3 days came on with the security management calling us to see if we knew the code and of course we didn’t. Very annoying. The last time it went off it was horrible, I couldn’t even hear the security people on the phone. I ( the guest) was asked to change the batteries. The hot tub didn’t work from the time we got there and still not fixed by the time we left 5 days later. Also the ticks are bad . I believe 4 out of the 8 of us had 1-3 ticks on them everyday. I was messaged Vacasa ( property management) from day one and just kept being told there were working on it . I feeL they were blowing me off. Unacceptable

Nice clean and peaceful property, but had some issues
The property was impeccably clean, and the space was as advertised. It's a nice little plot of land, in a good location, and was very quiet and peaceful at night. Unfortunately, the hot tub did not function. The power just would not go on. We talked to customer support and they could not ultimately solve the problem. We got a refund for the hot tub fee. It was a shame for us, because we picked this listing partially because it has a hot tub. Also the internet was slow and very spotty. It went in and out of service. The same went with cell service. The two bedrooms with queen beds were great. The room with the two double beds had trouble cooling down at night, and one of the double beds was so squeaky it could not really be used. Overall, we did really enjoy our stay. The White Mountains are amazing. But if we were to come back, we would probably try to stay somewhere else.

February ski trip
The house is very nice. The hot tub is great. We were there to ski and it is convenient to the ski areas. The kitchen is nice. There is a nice living area. There is no place for a group to sit and eat at a table. The table seats 4. But that was okay for us. We did have an issue with the downstairs bathroom and the property management took hours to get someone to fix the issue. We basically had 1 bathroom that worked for 8 people for two of our four days.

Nice stay but definitely needs a little more TLC
Overall enjoyed the stay and would come here again however was disappointed to see the carpet was coming apart from the kitchen exposing a few inches of hidden rusty nails in which a guest unfortunately cut their foot. Aside from this, felt the home and its location was perfect for a fall getaway from the city.

We really enjoyed the property - very convenient to the activities we enjoyed - hiking, taking the cog rail up Mt. Washington, driving around viewing foliage and small towns and covered bridges. Highly recommend this property for families or couples.

Private Cabin
Renovated, lovely secluded cabin within 20 to 30 minutes of many White Mtn. Attractions....near Franconia. Screened porch and hot tub nice bonuses. Plenty of room for our family group. Only two minor complaints: there could be better pots and pans and outdoor area around fire pit could be improved. Overall, a great place to stay!!!

Wasn’t bad but wouldn’t stay again
Good central location. Good amenities overall - hot tub. A/C, washer/dryer. Screened in porch a nice option. Cleanliness a definite issue. Cookware and utensils not cleaned/maintained. Bedding, carpets, windowsills and everyday items such as trash can all found dirty on arrival. Land-line non functional although advertised for safety. Had repeated issues with basement toilet despite supposed maintenance. Bring your own coffee maker despite advertisement to the contrary. Property management slow to respond and/or didn’t get back at all regarding issues. Overall a decent place just know that it is not “professionally cleaned” as advertised.

Indeed a notch above
Beautiful and well maintain cabin. Clean and orderly, in a quite neighborhood close to Echo lake, Clark's Bears, Lost River, and other attractions. It is indeed a notch above, when I compare it to other cabins I've rented over the years.
