Views and then some
Sean’s home met all our expectations. We choose rentals for the view and it was marvelous. The house is well maintained, clean, spacious and an abundance of windows made for a bright interior. The beds are comfortable and there’s a first floor bedroom if stairs are a challenge. (altho there are stairs to enter from the driveway). Sean is personable, greeted us on arrival and even helped us carry items. The kitchen is spacious enough for several people to work at once. Most of the week was hot, so we were grateful for the AC, quality shades, ceiling and portable fans. When it cooled, we opened windows and got a refreshing breeze off the ridge. There’s outside seating for both taller & shorter folks and the glass panels create a feeling of open air. With balconies on opposite sides, we could sit outside in sun or shade. The back faces east so it was nice to enjoy the view in shade on hot afternoons and sit out front in the morning. We chose to stay close and enjoy the view with family and friends but we’re familiar with the area and many summer activities nearby. We’ve previously enjoyed: Pine Mountain, Lock Hill, Belknap Mountain (all good views for little effort and less crowded than Mount Major). Ellacoya State park has great swimming, the scenic chairlift & mountain coaster at Gunstock are fun and there’s a zip line for the brave. We’re glad we chose this home and would like to stay again.

Family ski trip
We had a lovely stay the house with a view of the lake. The house was clean, which is very important to me. It has a pool table and my kids (ages 20 & 22) loved that. There were plenty of restaurants nearby and we skied at Gunstock which was nice and close. We made our own breakfast/coffee every morning. There’s a Keurig and a regular coffee maker. The weather wasn’t great, but we made the best of it. We went skiing a little later one day, night skiing one night and went to fun spot for games one day. It was a nice family getaway. Sean was a great host.

Beautiful Views of Lake
My family stayed two nights for a wedding at Gunstock Mountain Resort. We selected this home due to beautiful lake views, view of Gunstock Mountain, billiard table, and convenience of five minute distance from resort. We were very happy with our stay. Home was clean and views of lake were amazing as advertised. Sean was kind and replied quickly to inquiries and made sure home lights were on since we were arriving late on Friday. Highly recommend this home for anyone interested in vacationing at any time of year due to cleanliness, proximity to resort and the lake and available gas fire pit and billiard table for family fun.

This house met and exceeded our expectations! As most others have noted, Sean is a gracious host and the views are absolutely spectacular. In addition, the house is ideally located. There are nearby beaches, hiking trails, several mini golf courses, a movie theatre for rainy days, an outlet center and good local restaurants. I would definitely recommend renting this house!
