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.
5.0
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!

Our family skis and enjoys various restaurants in the area. Our favorite time is time spent in the GECKO eating, playing board games and just being together!

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!

Very comfortable and clean place for our annual family ski getaway. Perfect setup for teens to hang out in their own space = key for the parents too. The hot tub is always an important part of our stay as well and this house had it all.
Owners were great communicators with emails, an extensive Welcome Packet and helpful notes throughout.

We had a really great time staying at this home. It was very comfortable and spacious. Everything was clean, and the kitchen was well stocked. We cooked several big meals there. Our favorite part was the foosball and giant Jenga. We had such a blast with that. The only thing that was a little tricky was the heating. It was difficult to get the right temperature. It was either too hot or too cold, you have to play around with the heat to get it at a good temperature. The location was perfect. And we had a wonderful time there.

5.0
The Gecko Inn comfortably accommodated our group of five. There was plenty of room for everyone. The beds were comfortable and having three full bathrooms was definitely a plus. We did not have any young children with us but did notice that the bedroom on the main floor, with two sets of bunk beds, had a closet full of toys to keep little ones busy. We did travel with our family dog and we’re pleased to find a run just outside the front door. The back deck was also dog friendly with a gate which allowed us to spend time out there with our dog without worrying about him wandering away. The home is in a quiet neighborhood and close to North Conway, numerous hiking trails and many other attractions. There is no air conditioning but plenty of fans and, with the windows open at night, we all slept comfortably. The kitchen is well stocked with everything needed to prepare meals at the home. We truly enjoyed our stay and will consider renting again in the future.

We had a great time! The house was spacious and clean with plenty of ways to entertain our young kids (2 and 3). There is so much to do in the area and the gecko inn was convenient to get to everything!
4.0
Over all we were comfortable. Lighting is poor and the bunk beds on the main floor are not comfortable. I had to purchase face cloths because there was only 1 per person for 7 days stay. I am not into using the same washcloth over and over. Had to use bath towels 3 days each. Also, only 1 roll of toilet paper doesn't cut it for a 7 day stay either. Had to purchase that also. And there is no air-conditioning. We had every fan going day and night. With this said it is close to shops and restaurants and main attractions. Used the hot tub one morning before it got hot and humid outside. Grilled most of our food but was too humid to eat outside. Was really confused about all the recycling rules, so one night we burned what we could and took the rest of the trash with us to dispose at home. The mountains are some of the most beautiful you have ever seen along with the stream, rivers and waterfalls. So overall I do rate the stay at a 9 but glad to be home and in my own bed tonight.

Beautiful, secluded property in a quiet neighborhood. The house had everything we could have needed and the kids loved the hot tub and foosball table. We had zero issues during our stay and would highly recommend this property. The hosts were also very responsive and polite to work with throughout the whole process.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Gecko Inn. The whole place is set up for comfort and relaxation. It is close to everything while still being in a quiet and private neighborhood. We were surprised to find things we didn’t even predict we would need like a baby gate and bed rails. Unfortunately it rained a lot during our stay but there were puzzles, board games and fusbol to keep us busy. We had a great time and hope to stay again in the future

Once again, we had a great family weekend of fun at the Gecko Inn! This house is perfect for us. Great location,close to Zeb’s and the downtown shops and Diana’s Baths. It has lots of space for us to spread out and it is very clean. We have epic Foosball tournaments! And everyone loves the hot tub. This is our 3rd stay and we will be back again!

Great house for a family of all ages. We had a great time counting geckos and still don’t have a final on who found the most…?The home was perfect for us with the 3 bathrooms. Nobody was ever in anyone’s way!!
The hot tub room was a sweet treat and a much appreciated bonus! We did not use the fireplace but it was nice to have the option.
I would highly recommend The Gecko Inn. Thank you very much!🌞

Gecko Inn was a perfect place to stay for our Feb vacation with our 4 sons and pet dog!!!! The location was in close proximity to downtown North Conway and only a 10 min drive to Cranmore MT. The jacuzzi was a nice treat after a long day of skiing! Perfect for large families as there was plenty of room. Highly recommend this place!!!!!

Renting the property was easy and the owners were accessible. The house suited our needs well, and we were very grateful that our dogs were allowed to join us for our son’s wedding weekend. Location is good, neighborhood is nice, and the house was pretty much what we expected. They were a few fairly minor issues with plumbing, windows, and some broken items, but overall a nice place to stay.

The Inn
Love this area! Was our third house in same area for family vacation. Pet friendly was a plus! Though my guests were unhappy with No AC. I felt was comfortable with fans. Everyone loved full baths on each level. Plenty of sleeping space. Close to all our adventures and shopping. Had to clean hot tub before use but was used by all everyday!

We had an excellent time at the Gecko Inn! It is the perfect house for our family - plenty of space, big dining room table for dinner and games, everything we needed in the kitchen and the house was so clean. The hot tub, fire pit and foosball table were so fun! We will definitely be coming back!

Annual White Mountain Winter Family Getaway
What a wonderful, perfect place for our family of 9 to gather! The Gecko Inn is spacious, clean and warmly welcoming. The owners, Ken and Tanya, are very responsive to any questions or concerns. Our 9 year old grandson LOVED trying to locate all the geckos in the inn, a reflection of the thoughtful, family oriented emphasis the owners should take pride in.

Great place to getaway
We loved this property , it was open and spacious . The house is much roomier on the inside than it appears on the outside. It was clean and tidy and stocked well with many kitchen items. Owner was gracious to let us check in a tad early the day of our arrival. Hot tub was a bonus - the kiddos loved it! Would highly recommend , and would love to return.
