About this house rental

A perfect central location for your White Mountain Valley Vacation. The Gecko Inn has a long tradition, 17+ years, of renting to 1 or 2 families looking for a peaceful location with mountain views yet only 20 minutes to Storyland, 10 minutes to Cranmore Mountain and Adventure Park and an easy drive to all North Conway amenities. Our home is located at the end of a cul-de-sac in the quiet Birch Hill development. This home used to be listing #22036 with 51 positive reviews before we purchased it from the previous owners in 2016. We are friends who rented from them every year and are excited to continue the same traditions to you. Whether you are coming to Ski, Hike, Tube the Saco River, Shop at the North Conway outlets, or relax by the fireplace or in the hot tub, The Gecko Inn is small enough for one family yet spacious enough for two families to enjoy. Most neighbors are full time residents so this is not a "party home."

It is minutes to the spectacular North Conway public golf course, Echo Lake, and to extensive hiking trails in the National forest, including the beautiful waterfalls and swimming pools of Diana's Baths. The Saco and Swift Rivers are very close by for water sports including summer tubing.

Awaiting you in North Conway Village, a short seven minutes away, is tax-free, outlet shopping, a plethora of spectacular restaurants, great nightly entertainment, numerous seasonal activities, sightseeing, parks and good old New Hampshire hospitality.

Family fun and entertainment abounds in the Mount Washington Valley area. StoryLand (20 minutes), Santa's Village (1 hour), the Conway Scenic Railroad (with visits from Thomas the Train and The Polar Express (Late Nov and Dec), Children's and weather museums, local farms, hay rides, and many other amusements are all within a short drive of the house. The Mount Washington auto road is an exciting day trip for the Summer or early fall visitors.

Skiers will appreciate the short distances to multiple ski mountains. Cranmore Mountain (10 Minutes), Attitash (20 min.), Black Mountain, Bretton Woods, King Pine, and Wildcat are all an easy drive. Come home to relax in the hot tub or sit by the fireplace to warm your toes. Stay in North Conway and enjoy the Mount Washington Valley to its fullest in every season!

Inside the spacious contemporary home you will find three floors. The open first floor has a full bathroom, a bedroom with two sets of bunk beds, a fully-equipped kitchen, a six-foot dining table for 6, breakfast bar for 4, cathedral ceiling Family Room, with a Sky Chair, TV, DVD and fireplace, that opens onto a 300-square-foot deck from which you can enjoy peace and solitude. There is an attached mud room for all your ski/snowboard/bike/outdoor gear. The deck also has a sun room with 5 person Nordic Hot Tub for year-round enjoyment.

The second floor has 2 Bedrooms, full bath and a loft area. Each bedroom has a queen sized bed, there is a full bathroom, and a loft area with a single day bed and seating space perfect for reading or playing a board game.

The lower level, finished with 3/4 bath, bedroom with two single beds and a 2nd family room with TV, sectional couch and a Futon sofa. Challenge your family members or friends to a Foosball tournament! This is a great added space for the kids to play while the adults are upstairs or for a second family to have their own space.

The house is ideal for one family or two families to share a vacation. This is not a "Party Home" as we are located in a quiet neighborhood and our guests must adhere to respectful noise levels at all times.

There is a gazebo in the backyard and a fire pit just outside for those romantic autumn evenings. There is not a grassed area for play as it is a wooded lot. The surrounding area is quiet and peaceful, with conservation land nearby for hiking and cross-country skiing.

We are just 2 hours and 30 minutes from Boston, 3 hours from Worcester, and 4 hours from Hartford, CT. The Pizza Barn in Ossipee has been a family favorite to stop for Dinner or lunch when driving up.

New Hampshire room tax is included in all rates.

Located in a peaceful neighborhood, this was the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy Conway and the greater area for the week. Plenty of space for our family to spread out (teens got their privacy!). The deck and hot tub were perfect for relaxing in after a day hiking too! The owners were very responsive when we had issues that arose.

We had only five adults and one almost 3 year old granddaughter with us (and their dog) and were so comfortable. We never used the downstairs but it looked like a fun area to play in. The owners were very responsive to our questions prior to arriving. The only suggestion we would make is to add some larger biwls (for soup, salad, etc.) it really helped to have everything labeled so we could put everything back in place. The location is perfect for getting into Conway and other scenic sites. Very quiet as well. We will def recommend this rental to friends or family looking to visit the Conway area.

This home is an incredible place for families to stay and enjoy all that the white mountains have to offer. There is plenty of space for everyone, all the linens, towels, bathrooms, and outside space a large party needs to enjoy themselves. And on top of that, the hosts are communicative and kind. Highly recommend!

Property was wonderful. Cleanliness of freezer and fans was NOT Good. If I have to pay for cleaning I would like these things clean when I arrive. We were told to put the awning back toward the house however it was not that way when we arrived. A beautiful home! Beautiful location.Just have a problem for paying for something that wasn't ready for us.dining room had cobwebs on light over the table!

The Gecko Inn is the perfect place for family gathering! Every year our adult children, their spouses and children join us for a winter getaway in the Whites. This tradition started about 36 years ago when we were a couple with young children. The location, space, cleanliness and warmth of the Gecko Inn have made it possible for us to continue creating wonderful family memories! Ken and Tanya are perfect hosts, ways accessible to answer questions and make us feel welcome. Special kudos to the housekeeping staff who made sure we entered a sparkling home!
