About this house rental

Decorated with decades of history and memorabilia, the Firehouse was built in 2004 by firefighter enthusiast John Cullen. We created spaces to offer a unique vacation experience. With 4 BRs and a bunkroom this home sleeps 16. Perfect for multi-gen families and groups of friends to get away together. The garage was converted into an enormous 1600 sf’ game room to entertain through the seasons.

In our opinion this house is one of the most unique properties you will find in the area. The multiple open spaces offer room to spread out yet plenty of cozy seating to spend quality time together.
Sitting in front of the gas fireplace is a restful spot on cold winter nights or after a fun day of skiing. During the warmer seasons spend time on the back patio with a grill and a back yard with outdoor games and a fire pit.
The Firehouse’s amazing game room, converting the oversized garage area to include large dinning room with a wet bar, fully equipped with full fridge, ice maker and sink for easy clean up. Games include a pool table, table top shuffleboard, ping pong, skee-ball and more.
Let the chef of the group prepare a nice home cooked meal with a fully functioning kitchen with all the pots, pans and utensils provided for you. Kitchen is on the first floor along with a bedroom with a queen bed. The upstairs space has six twin beds and a full bath in the loft. Next is a large common space including a sitting area with lots of board games, and a living area with a large smart TV and a pullout queen couch. Two additional bedrooms are through the loft with a queen bed in each. Final bedroom with a full bed is off the game room. Finally, hike through the back of the property to the Mad River (adventures types only please).

We had an amazing time at this Firehouse themed VRBO. The memorabilia was awesome such an amazing collection! The house is huge! So much more space than anticipated. The huge 16 person table in the game room was perfect so we could all eat our meals together. The fire pole from the second floor was a huge hit with the kids and adults, we had an amazing time with family game tournaments with the pool table, ping pong, skeeball, basketball, shuffle board and air hockey. The house was clean and the beds were comfortable and plentiful! The 3rd bathroom in the basement was a welcome surprise. We will definitely come back.

Pros: -Large space that can fit three families -Comfortable beds and sheets -Fun games Cons: -Way too hot for summer visits. No AC and not nearly enough fans to cool the home. Fans didn't work in game room. -Dirty...very dirty. The floors were cleaned and the beds all had clean sheets, but beyond that, not much cleaning was done at all. We found mold in two coffee makers, trash left in cans with no bags in them, dirty glasses in the cupboard, soap scum in both showers, lots of dust, a mystery puddle of liquid under a bed, toys all over the place. The cleaning fee seems absurd based on this. -Personal items/clutter EVERYWHERE. The game room is literally piled high with random things like a new toilet seat, bags of salt, a copy machine, someone's swimming trunks, an engraved briefcase, etc. Bathrooms are packed with personal items, no room to put our things in showers or on sinks. -In the game room our children found fire axes in a huge pile of real fire uniforms. We were grateful none of our children were too young or too crazy to make that a dangerous situation. -Broken grill that we had to reassemble and scrub clean to use -Wires hanging out of walls The owner responded to messages fairly quickly but asked us to do the work- clean the coffee pot, fix the grill, etc. We spent as little time inside the house as we possibly could because it was quite uncomfortable for everyone.

This place was like nowhere I've ever stayed - one-of-a-kind game room and packed with loads of history throughout. Very convenient to Waterville Valley and a nice peaceful spot in the woods. 100% enjoyed.

2 towels for 2 people and 3 nights, no wash clothes, no bath mats. Lights and fan in the bedroom would come on and off at all hours of the night. Lights in living area flickered nonstop if on. No cover on the duvet, the sheets didn’t breathe and made for a miserable sleep. Microwave door didn’t open. AND 1 ply TP!! It was cute but not functional. 3 miserable nights.
