Family friendly Ski/Lake house in the White Mountains - walk to lake

Perfect for a family get away or a trip with friends.
Wake up in the morning to your coffee on the large tree-lined deck listening to the birds. This home has three levels of living, enough for everyone to have their own space. The main level has an open plan kitchen, dining area with large table (seats 10) for gatherings, and TV area with gas wood stove for convenient ambiance, and a full bathroom and bedroom. Upstairs you will find two large bedrooms, one with a full en-suite bathroom, and an additional full bathroom. On the lower level is a finished walk out basement, set up as a game room with a bar and a TV. Washer and dryer. Outside you'll find a fire pit for some evening fun.
Just a short 5 minute walk to the pond, with swim platform and sandy beach, great for swimming, kayaking and paddle boarding. Another larger pond is also close by. Two canoes and a paddle board are available for your use. You can hike in the woods nearby and the area is great for stargazing. It is a 15-25 minute drive to skiing and North Conway amenities. Tuckerman Brewing Company is less than 10 minutes drive.

First Level: Living room that features a gas fireplace, large dining table that seats ten, 60' tv, dvd & cable. French Doors that lead to a large partial wrap around deck with gas grill, fire pit & patio furniture. Also on the first level is a full kitchen including all necessary cooking & serving items. (toaster oven, toaster, microwave, coffee maker) Bedroom with queen and twin bed along with a full bath.

We do not provide Linens & Towels. If you require Linens & Towels, there is an additional $100 fee.
Queen size Beds (2), Twin/Single Beds, including Bunk Beds (6), Full bed (1)
If you stay with us in the winter and there is snow you will need a AWD or 4WD Vehicle or you can park at the bottom of the hill at the entrance of Edelweiss. The roads/driveway are gravel. No parties or functions No smoking. One bag of food trash will be removed, other trash needs to be taken.
It’s a ski house and it’s secluded which is part of the charm.

Lovely wooded area with beautiful house
We enjoyed our stay, although we thought the pond would be closer. Too far to haul the canoe down the hill. Layout of rooms was perfect for our family. Clean and comfy.

Perfect Fun
What an amazing and beautiful home! The house was clean, very well maintained and perfect for the group we had since it has so many beds and places to lounge and relax. We enjoyed the outside deck, especially in the morning with coffee, and the fire pit was perfect for the beautiful evenings. The neighborhood was quiet and dark which was great for star gazing. We spent the day at the pond using the provided canoe and paddle board. The pond was fun, especially the diving dock and exploring around. The people were kind and everyone there had the same mindset - fun and relaxation. Aside from the perfect house, I will say our hosts were also perfect. I feel the best hosts are those that you know are available if needed but provide us with privacy. Karen promptly answered a logistics question I had a couple weeks prior to our arrival. The day before, she provided me with important info and made sure I knew she could be contacted if needed, just the way I like it! Each person who came commented on what a great weekend it was and how we picked the perfect house. I am definitely saving this place in my favorites!

Great House
This house is perfect for our two families. We had 7 people total, but we could have easily fit more people comfortably. The teens and adults had their own space apart, as well as plenty of space together for eating meals and playing games. Everything was as described, and communication with the owners was really easy when we had questions. They were super prompt, helpful, and very nice. We boated in the larger lake in the neighborhood, which was lovely and peaceful. Would definitely recommend this property.

We spent a great week here. The house was clean, well equipped, in good condition. We walked to the beach on the pond, played on the deck with water guns, and the grandkids loved the downstairs playroom. Thanks!

Cosy house, be careful when showering
Overall good experience except for needing to be careful when showering. The shower water pressure is high and it is easy to get some splashed water on the bathroom ground. There isn't a waterproof treatment on the bathroom's ground corner so a small amount of splashed water will leak into the understairs.

Great location
I booked this house with my family after a last minute change in vacation plans. This house was great and the rooms seemed larger than in the pictures. Cute decor too. Nice quick car ride to the water (or a 6 min walk) and only 25 minutes to North Conway for shopping, so there was something for everyone to do.

Private and peaceful!
Our family had a wonderful time at this home. It is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. Our family of 7 had plenty of room to spread out. Kids loved the basement room to hang out in. I could have spent all my time on the private deck out back. It was so quiet! So much privacy on this property. And we all loved the pond so much! Our kids were so happy spending the day swimming, jumping from the dock, and paddleboarding. The sandy beach is perfect for young kids. It was the perfect spot that we were looking for. We hope to come back!

Beautiful house, relaxing get-away
Lovely, spacious, comfortable, well-laid-out home far from other houses and nestled in trees. My husband, 18-year-old daughter and I stayed here for two weeks in June (3 of her friends joined for 4 of those days and they had a blast playing foosball in the basement). Plenty of room for even more guests, though we didn't end up needing it. I also appreciated there being an abundance of dishes, glasses and silverware! Around the property we saw tons of scurrying chipmunks, and even deer several times. Access to basketball court and canoe at nearby little beach (one of four walkable beaches around three ponds). The area is hilly so be prepared to walk uphill back from the beach. PSA: as in all areas in the Northeast, check yourself for ticks after walking in the brush or tall grass (as in where the canoes are kept). We enjoyed visits to Madison boulder, Diana's Baths, North Conway, and Mount Washington - but mostly spent time just chillin'. I appreciated that the owners are helpful and responsive. I might subtract a quarter star for wonky shower control in the master bath, challenging dishwasher, and trees being a little too close to the fire pit for my comfort. It would also be handy if they had more leftover containers (luckily we brought our own) and offered guests more than one key. But I expect the homeowners to continue to make improvements to the property - and these are minor things that did not interfere with our enjoyment. Really and truly a lovely house!
