About this house rental

Tucked away in the scenic Gunstock Acres neighborhood, this newly renovated mountain chalet will capture your heart from the moment you walk in. The home has ample parking, beautiful deck overlooking a large flat backyard, and yard games. There are also plenty of quiet nooks for working from home and reliable wifi. All of this, while being equidistant between the mountains and Lake Winnipeasukee. What more could you want?

The home has been tastefully renovated with all the highest end touches, including a built in dining nook that overlooks the beautiful backyard and a bubbling stream in the distance. This, combined with a fireplace on the outside deck and a fully stocked kitchen, encourages both gathering and conversations inside and out. The propane fireplace is ideal for curling up next to in the winter. The master suite has a private balcony that overlooks the wooded backyard. There are washers and dryers in both the upstairs master suite and downstairs in the utility room. Both are at your disposal during your visit for any laundry needs. There are plentiful bath and beach towels for all guests throughout your stay. We have a large game closet for all age ranges and a multitude of outdoor games, as well, in the shed that can be taken out in the summer to be used in the yard. There are way too many amenities to name here, so please don't hesitate to reach out to inquire about any specific requests or questions.

Our home is less than half a mile away from Gunstock Mountain Resort. In the winter, the resort offers day and night skiing, tubing, a mountain coaster, and cross country skiing. In the summer months the resort has zipline canopy tours, a high ropes course, and hiking trails, just to name a few.

Ellacoya State Park is only five minutes away, as well, which has a gorgeous beach and picnic tables along the water. Please reach out to Allie two weeks ahead of your stay and she can reserve your day pass for the days you would like to go to the beach during your stay. There are beach chairs in the shed that you are welcome to bring with you. If you plan to bring a boat, there is plenty of parking for a trailer and a pass for the Town of Gilford ramp.

If shopping is more appealing, the Tanger Outlets in Tilton are less than a twenty minute drive. Popular stores include American Eagle, Brooks Brothers, Bath & Body Works, and Under Armour, to name a few.

There are restaurants that will cater to all interests within a fifteen minute radius, including multiple waterfront establishments and bars.

From our driveway, you can walk up the hill to a beautiful overlook of Lake Winnipeasaukee and Gunstock Mountain Resort. The neighborhood lends itself well to walking and biking alike with a multitude of roads with varying difficulty.

Our group stayed briefly one night as a stop on our running route. Even though our visit was so short we enjoyed ourselves. The home is very clean and organized and in a very quiet neighborhood. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

My girlfriends and I stayed here for a weekend. The house is immaculate and there were so many nice touches (wine, chocolates, toothbrushes etc). We had a wonderful stay. We grilled, hungout outside and made use of the ping pong table. Communication was prompt and information regarding the property ( and anything we could wish to know) was available via a pdf they put together. The only thing that was not quite accurate was the 4th bedroom. Like others have said it is basically a common area in between the 2 basement bedroom. Absolutely no privacy. We didn't mind but it would have been nice if it were clear in the description.

We needed a place close to the event space and it was perfect! We came down for one night and it was so easy to get to the concert. It was a holiday weekend and very crowded so we ordered takeout and enjoyed the bottle of wine the host had left. The place was clean and fully stocked. Plus very close to Gunstock for a morning run to the top. Wish we could have stayed longer!

This home is hands down the best rental I’ve ever stayed in and I’ve stayed in many. Very clean and has everything you need - right down to toothbrushes, toothpaste and even contact lens solution. The host is super responsive to questions/concerns often responding in minutes. Our group of 4 adults, a teenager, a 5 year old and an 18 month old had a great stay (so did the dog 😊)

My family of 5 and I had a wonderful stay at this home. The home itself was gorgeous and well-stocked with everything you could need. The yard is big and there were plenty of outdoor games in the shed. The beds were comfy, the furniture was comfortable and newer and the layout was great. We especially enjoyed sitting out on the deck. The location is great with lots of restaurants and things to do within 15-20 mins away. One thing to be aware of is that the 4th "bed' wasn't in a private space. We knew it wasn't a true 4 bedroom home because the listing states that. We also knew that the 4th bed was a pull out couch because that was made clear in the listing too, but it was in an open space outside of the other 2 bedrooms and the bathroom - not at all private. Just something to consider if you're looking for 4 private sleeping spaces. This is really a 3 bedroom home with a pull-out couch in a common room. With that being said; we'd definitely return because we were able to make the sleeping arrangements work out.

We have stayed in many properties. This one was so wonderfully stocked with everything you could think of as a guest. The house was very quality and very clean. A few issues we needed to contact the owner over and she was very responsive and attentive. You will not want to miss this one!
