Wonderful Family Vacation
Wonderful Family Vacation
We had a fabulous two week family getaway at Camp Inches. Jody was a perfect host and communicated very well via text- answering all questions and offering many great ideas for family outings. She connected us with a local friend who has a pony farm and our children had an amazing time learning to ride the horses. We loved nearby Newfound Lake and Bristol, as well as exploring the lake region and New London; but some of our best memories were right at the house. We enjoyed walking in the babbling brook picking out rocks along the property. We made fires in the fire pit and had s’mores. The beautiful lawn was a perfect run around space. The spacious porch was a relaxing spot to rock the baby in the rocking chair each evening to the sound of the waterfall. The kitchen was the best organized and stocked kitchen I’ve ever used on a vacation- it was actually a pleasure to make big family meals and felt like a home away from home (though mine is not as organized!) As kids will be kids, we had a few marks on the table and Jody was very kind to say she could fix it right up. The WiFi was excellent, good airflow with big French doors and fans and some AC units in spaces, laundry was helpful, trash and recycling were cleared for us- pretty much anything you need was there! We felt very comfortable and enjoyed some wonderful family bonding time. We highly recommend this lovely family home and hope to return again. Thanks so much Jody!

Great vacation spot
Great vacation spot
We really enjoyed our weeklong stay at Camp Inches. The house was clean and had plenty of room (there were five of us). The screened in porch is a wonderfully relaxing spot near the brook. There are also lots of other porch areas outside for eating and relaxing. I spent some time sitting in the sun on the front patio, watching a hummingbird visit all the flowers. The kitchen had new appliances and plenty of pots and pans for cooking. The location of the house is ideal as it's an easy drive to several fun destinations. We went to Profile Falls in Bristol and Newfound Lake. We also did a day trip to Mount Washington (took the cog railway up!) and another day to Quechee, VT. Jody was a wonderful host, as she was very responsive to any questions we had, as well as being a wealth of information about the area. Whether you are looking for a spot to just relax or a home base to explore the area, this is a great home.

We had a wonderful stay at Jody's home. The property was absolutely beautiful and the house had everything we could possibly need. We were able to visit many of the lakes, rivers, hiking spots and other activities from this location. The house is great for adults, kids, and families. Thanks for such a wonderful stay!

Camp Inches was pure joy and summer for our family! This is the perfect getaway house and location to get away and relax. We have 3 young kids and they spent hours looking for frogs, swimming in the water hole and exploring the beautiful nature all around. We did go hiking and local blueberry picking but the whole family just wanted to return to the house! It was the favorite part of our trip. Nighttime brought picturesque camp fires and grilled dinners on the back patio. The screened in porch was my favorite spot for morning coffee overlooking the brooke and listening to the peaceful sounds of nature. At night the porch lit up with tiny lights and was magical. Jody was super helpful with recommendations and I’ve already told all my friends this is the spot to go!!!

Scenic & serene

Jodi was a delightful hostess. We enjoyed getting to meet her & hearing some of the history of her home. Her home is on one of the best dirt roads we have ever driven on. We rented because of the proximity to the northern rail trail and the centrality to see both New Hampshire and Vermont. My son and I enjoyed hiking Mount Cardigan and Mt Kearsarge. At Jody’s suggestion we took an afternoon hike part way around Newfound Lake which was so peaceful. We enjoyed a easy 30 mile ride on the rail trail. Only wish there was a bike rental in Danbury but we found Omer & Bob’s in Lebanon to be top notch to rent from with a perfect pizza spot to celebrate our ride afterwards. On the one rainy day we drove Route 100 in Vermont then over to the White Mountains and even in the rain the colors were beautiful. The screen porch, even in the cool weather, was a great spot to chill and listen to the brook giggle & gurgle. While we didn’t spend our days there it would have been just as great to retreat there and rest from the bustle of city life.

Ideal Spot!

Camp Inches is a wonderful, homey spot for a getaway with family or friends. It is immaculately clean and very well equipped with everything you might need. The beds are very comfortable and the towels are fresh and fluffy. There are two bedrooms and a large living room with a full size futon and large couch that has a door that closes and acts as a third bedroom. There are also several other futons and couches on the porch and in another TV room. Five adults had plenty of room and never felt crowded. Jody is an exceptional host, quick to answer any questions and readily available with information about the house or the area. We would definitely book again if going back to the area.
