In short, this is a great house. The listing is accurate, the house is clean, ideally located, and well supplied with quality furniture and accessories. John is easy to contact and to communicate with. My wife and I spent a week here in July and have rented many houses in the area and elsewhere and this is among the best. You won't be disappointed.

We loved our stay! John provided great communication, the check-in and check-out processes were easy, and the place was gorgeous! If you’re looking for a quiet mountain neighborhood, this is the place for you.

We had a wonderful stay at John’s house. The place was very clean, the beds comfortable, and the view amazing. We skied Bretton Woods and Loon (both about 30 minutes away). We can’t wait to return!

This is a delightful, comfortable, and cozy house for a family or a small group. It has access to the great NH outdoors, with many White Mountain attractions and activities close by. We really enjoyed the gas powered "wood" stove in the living area, it gives off good heat and adds a nice ambiance to a winter evening. The kitchen is well stocked with good cookware and utensils. The beds are very comfortable. On a clear day the views of the Franconia Range from the living/kitchen area (and from the deck) are beautiful. Our only hitch was when the first of our group arrived, they discovered that the driveway hadn't been plowed. It is a short but steep hill down to the house. Thankfully the owners responded when we reached out, and it was plowed and sanded within 1-2 hours. We had to request plowing/sanding a couple of times during the course of our week, and the owners and the plowing company were very responsive. If arriving for a winter stay, it might be a good idea to double check the condition of the driveway with the owners before arriving. This is a lovely house that we would recommend to anyone looking for a quiet getaway in the mountains. We would certainly like to return ourselves!

The property is a challenge to get to but the view as you open the door to the house is worth it. We stayed as a family of 4 and had plenty of room and the 2 showers were also helpful. The property is clean and in good shape.

This house was an excellent place for a stay with 5 adults planning to hike in the Franconia area. It was spacious for cooking and relaxing and the view was incredible. Many good trailheads within 20-30 minutes.

We had never been to New Hampshire, and what a treat this house was for us! Our first night we sat on the deck and watched the full moon rise over the White Mountains!!! Beautiful! The full kitchen and ding were great for big meals and all the tips the manager gave for activities were spot on! Loved our time in Franconia.

This is a terrific VRBO rental. The view of the mountains was spectacular and the house is lovely. It is big enough for a family of six, but small enough to feel cozy and warm. The house was extremely clean and well appointed. The owner was available for questions throughout the weekend and gave some excellent guidance on local eateries and shopping. We had a wonderful family weekend here and made some very special memories. We hope to come back soon.

We rented an Sugar Hill due to the proximity to Cannon Mountain ski areaThe location was ideal and very convenient to CannonJohn, the owner, was extremely helpful and gave us detailed information about the area He happily provided additional information about locations to snowshoeThe living room kitchen combination with the walls of windows looking out onto the mountains was our favorite spotWe played family games ate dinner and read beside the amazing viewI would definitely return for another visit

Lovely, very comfortable family house, big bedrooms, well set up for kids (extra beds, cribs, children's toys, mud room to leave wet boots and coats, plenty of space to play hide-and-seek) for adults long windows with gorgeous views of mountains. Extra TV room with comfy couch so kids can sneak off while adults sit by the fire in the main room. Nothing felt fancy or fussy- it all felt like a place made for families to relax and enjoy time together. Kitchen large and well supplied. Location about 20 minutes down pretty roads to get to Cannon mountain for skiing or to town for snacks, about 30 minutes to larger shopping area. Very peaceful and quiet, stars out at night, local easy walking trail areas if you don't feel like climbing mountains. John was very receptive, answered texts and questions - gave great suggestions for walks/hikes that are off the beaten track. He allowed us to add on an extra night at the end because we didn't want to come home. We had such a restful and relaxing time! We would happily come back as soon as we can!

I feel compelled to write this review since our experience was vastly different from the 4.9/5 average rating for this rental. For sure the view is stunning. The large kitchen living area provided adequate and comfortable space for cooking, eating and relaxing. John provided detailed information on hikes, restaurants, shopping, where to take all trash and recycling in town and was available by text for questions. We were surprised to find a refrigerator and freezer full of food, the batteries removed from the lighter for the gas stove in the living room rendering it useless, all windows not locked (and you are instructed to lock windows when you leave), hot water turned off for the kitchen sink, sheets that were frayed and stained, bedding and other items piled on the closet floors and towels left in a heap on the closet shelves, making it impossible to figure out which were for guests vs. the family. Once you figure out how to turn on the hot water the incessant drip will drive you a bit crazy. It felt as if the owners had cleaned the floors and the bathrooms, thrown everything into closets and left. Would give this listing an overall rating of 2.5 if I could : between poor and okay.

I stayed here with a couple of friends this past weekend and could not have been happier with the house! Sugar Hill is a beautiful, secluded location and the view from the house was breathtaking! Highly recommend this place as a weekend getaway.

John's place was the perfect place we could have ever imagined for our trip at the last minute. As soon as we saw the view out the window which opens into the mountains, we fell in love with it. However an unexpected storm and snow ruined out trip in the 3rd day and the power went off, so we had to cut short and return from our trip since the kids were getting cold. But John was really kind and offered to refund us for that day.The kitchen was stocked with lots of cookwares and dinnerwares and cutlery. The Gas grill was all what we wanted and was a brand new one. Lot's of toys and books for kids to play, and the best thing was there were more than enough kids beds. It was a really child friendly place. Only suggestion I could give is to dust the living room furniture a bit, since those were cloth couches, it had lot of dust. We also had a minor accident which we came to know after we left and John texted us about, and the storm was to blame.Other than that, it was a very pleasant stay, the kids enjoyed the most. Thank you John for the awesome hospitality.
