Better than you can even imagine!
Mountainside estate was an absolute dream property! I swear we didn't even find all the bedrooms because there were just so many! All the guests raved about every part of the property, from the pool, to the kitchen, to all the lounge areas. Everything was comfortable, cozy, and very clean. We can't wait to plan our next stay!

Perfect group spot
This property is HUGE and has everything you need for a larger group. The owner was responsive to everything we needed and even recovered lost items for us!

Excellent Property
With a group of 20, there are many times where you cannot even find anyone amongst the various spaces, which are all unique.The bedrooms were spacious, the house was clean, and in an excellent location to both Mount Sunapee and the more local Ragged Mtn. I've been booking annual vacation homes for over 10 years and this one is one of the best yet.

Best Year Yet!
Every year our group gets together for what we call a “Christmas Miracle Trip.” We are a large group with several different families and children ranging from 2-10. It’s chaotic and wonderful- we do puzzles, play games, exchange gifts and cook lots of food. We have stayed a different rental for the last 9 years. This property was such a hit! Here’s what we loved: The kitchen- best one yet. Plenty of space (so much counter space!), tons of fridge and freezer room, an ice machine (!!), and the little side nook was very convenient for the littlest one to eat so parents could keep an eye on them while cooking. The rooms were clean, comfortable, the bedding cozy, and there were no noise complaints as each hallway had a door which helped keep napping babies happy. The games were great for the kids, the fireplace room downstairs was super cozy and the property just beautiful. It snowed while we were there and it was so magical. There is charm and beauty everywhere. A delight! Thank you! Also, based on previous reviews we did bring extra toilet paper, paper towels and garbage bags which did come in handy. The chlorine in the pool is strong but the kids loved it anyway!

Great stay for large group
We had an amazing weekend at this house! It had plenty of space for our 8 families with tons of beds and places to hang out. We never felt crowded and so many options for things to do with the pool, games, tv room and board games! Thanks for an amazing weekend we’ll be back!!

Perfect for a large group
We had the most amazing weekend at the Mountain Inn. The host Eric was super helpful and easy to work with; we had a couple questions and he answered immediately. Our group ranged from 2yo to 70yo and this house had space the suited everyone’s needs. The adults could gather in one of the two living rooms upstairs while the kids played in the game room or TV room. The house was immaculate and the bedrooms were cozy and comfortable. The kitchen had great appliances that all worked and there was plenty of dish-ware, silverware, pots and pans and cooking utensils. The pool area was the kids favorite, that water is a little chilly so none of the parents braved the cold but the kids played for hours. The outside space is incredible. Amazing fire-pit and the kids loved exploring and running around. We can’t wait to book again!

Nice place for a company retreat
For our purposes this met our needs. The only frustration was with lack of organization and kitchen/cooking utensils along with a dishwasher that wasn't really usable for the average person, very loud refrigerators and a non working ice machine.

Didn’t meet expectations
I was in charge of planning a family reunion for 28 and was disappointed with the condition of the property and “preparedness” for guests. Two bedrooms were locked. I had to go around plugging in lamps and changing dead light bulbs. We had children with us who enjoyed the pool but there was black mold on pool side cushions so we only used a portion of the deck space. The hot water is dangerously hot. Most bathroom soap dispensers were empty and extra toilette paper was not provided, nor were there enough towels in the bathrooms and no dryer available to dry pool towels. The dumpster was overflowing when we arrived. There is a fire pit but bring your own wood; paper products, cleaning supplies, Tupperware, large garbage bags, towels, cellophane, clean sponges, dish washing fluid and dish towels (unless you don’t mind using rags.) The owners need to be very clear to guests what they need to bring. Our previous large reunion homes were much more generous with cleaning supplies, hygiene and paper products. It made it much easier for all of us flying in or driving. I realize the home is old and expected sticky door jams, uneven floors and dark rooms in a portion of the home but not in the additions. One of the first things I saw was a faded, ripped American flag hanging by the door - I took it down. On a positive note, the kitchen was great, extra refrigerators and a great stove. The proximity to hiking and views were each a bonus. Some of the bedrooms are lovely.

Response from VrboOwner on 29 Oct 2023
I will first start by saying I’m very sorry that you were disappointed. To address some of your concerns, we provide 2 towels in every en-suite bathroom and 6 towels in the shared bathrooms. We provide the first roll of toilet paper plus an extra roll in each bathroom. We do the same for guests that are staying a week as well as weekend stay’s like yours. Also, when you called asking for more, I directed you to the linen closet full of extra towels. The water temp is at the highest level recommended because the size of the property requires so to make sure there is enough hot water for all showers. All these amenities (provided & not provided) are listed on VRBO. I apologize that you expected us to provide paper plates, paper towels, napkins, firewood, cellophane, etc. large trash bags were on the shelf above the barrel. The other issues that you had, such as the doors being locked, when you messaged I immediately told you where the keys were to unlock. The dumpster was full due to a wedding we had on site the day before. Again, I had that crushed down within 20 minutes. You messaged me that there was one light out and asked if we had lightbulbs on site. In a 15k sq.ft. house occasionally a bulb goes. We do have a closet full, just in case. Again sorry it didn’t meet your expectations, we accommodated your very early check-in request, post a wedding & apologize we couldn’t accommodate your last-minute request for a late check out due to housekeeping schedule. Very sorry that you had a weekend full of rain.

Family gathering
The property is lovely, with beautiful views. There was plenty of room for our extended family. We had a lot of cloudy/damp days, but there was always something to do in the house. The homeowner is very responsive and the live-in caretaker very helpful. We had a great week!

Family Vaca
Property was great- plenty of room and bedrooms and relaxation areas for the number of people. Was great to prepare meals in the commercial kitchen. Dining room was plenty big-we had a 1000 piece puzzle challenge between men and women during the week- we played games/cards on the dining room table as well. Plenty of room in refrigerators and freezer. Loved the outside grounds in the back- spent a ton of time out there-comfortable tables and chairs there as well. Kids had a blast running around and playing yard games out there which we brought with us. Spent a little time in the pool which was ok but was a bit cloudy and could have been cleaner. Enjoyed fires at night- fire pit was nice and big. Overall it was fabulous! A few items to consider- 1. The fuse to the outlet for the coffee station kept blowing. The grounds keeper came a couple times but it continued so we just used the kuerig. 2. We ran out of toilet paper-was very surprised about this never happened in any rental before. Our rental was from Sat-sat and we were out of TP by Monday. 3. Ran out of garbage bags early in the stay so purchased those as well. 4. Outside doors to the pool area need to be updated - one didn’t latch well and the other was difficult to open. Although these items didn’t interfere with our vacation-it was a bit irritating to have to rectify them and I felt like I was pesty texting the host abt the outlet, TP and garbage bags etc… that said Eric responded quickly and politely!

Sprawling inn in beautiful location
This place was spacious with large rooms and lots of smaller spaces to lounge in. Our family of 28 enjoyed the indoors and outdoors. There were some unanticipated issues and Eric and the nearby caretaker were extremely communicative. Lots of bedrooms with bathrooms gave lots of privacy. We had an amazing time.

Excellent Family Vacation Stay
There were twenty-four extended family members and we all had a great time. The common rooms were plenty big enough for all of us to hang out together and there were smaller common spaces to get away to. The kitchen and dining room were perfect for our large group. The kitchen was outfitted with everything we needed and the commercial grade set-up made clean up really easy. The bedrooms are nicely appointed and gave everyone plenty of their own space. Outdoors we set up volleyball, croquet, and quidditch with plenty of room left over. The view is amazing...especially on the night of the lightning storm. The pool was a hit day and night. Highly recommended.

The old inn was a great spot for a weekend of BBQ, yard games, and good times. The accommodations were just what we needed for a great getaway! Eric was great to work with and was quick to respond to all of my inquiries. I hope to visit it again!

AMAZING!
Couldn't have asked for a better place to spend the weekend! The property is incredible--the house is large and spacious so that our group didn't feel on top of each other, the indoor pool was the perfect temperature and a huge hit, and the outdoor fire pit was exactly what our group needed! The large outdoor spaces allowed a perfect space for a three hour game of capture the flag. Would recommend!
