Cozy, inviting, and perfectly atmospheric, this A-frame chalet sits just a few minutes' walk from Thusis Beach on the south shore of Pea Porridge Pond. You'll be amid hiking and snowmobile trails, ski slopes, fall foliage drives, boating, and swimming - with beautiful pine walls, a gas-log stove, and a quiet, comfortable living space to come home to each day. Use the provided kayaks and life jackets to get out on the water each morning, returning home for a coffee or cocoa outside on the deck and breakfast prepared in the well-equipped kitchen. Spend your evenings gathering around the seasonal firepit to roast marshmallows with your loved ones or snuggling up inside for a game of cards and a movie by the fire in the living room.

simple cozy retreat
We were in the area for the total eclipse and glad we stayed here! Perfect space for our two families (including dog). Close to the Kancamagus, Whites, etc but also a sweet place to just relax. Furnishings were basic but mostly everything we needed.

Peaceful mountain stay
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was as shown. It was a great location to nearby attractions but felt private enough in a good neighborhood. Definitely bring blankets/comforters. When showering space out showers for hot water purposes

Weekend getaway
2nd time staying. Cute area and in a great location to a lot of hiking trails. Google maps for some reason did not bring us right to the house this time.. but we were able to find our way looking at house numbers. We arrived at night so the house being lit up for us also was very helpful.

Awesome A-Frame Stay on the 4th of July
I always wanted to stay in an A-frame during a vacation and this place did not disappoint! Awesome place inside. Great deck and firepit. It also is located close to a beautiful lake with multiple small beaches within walking distances. Kayaks were provided and great for time spent on the lake. I would definitely stay at this location again!.

I highly recommend this cabin! It’s very cozy and comfortable. Very clean as well. We enjoyed our stay and thankful that we were able to bring our dog with us. Only complaint would be having to take the trash with us.

Great find for a long weekend getaway

Great Location!
This home was a cozy, centrally located place. The house was clean and kitchen was well stocked. Cons were due to the extremely large and heavy kayaks and length of walk to the beach, we were not able to use them like we had hoped. You would have to have a pick-up truck to actually utilize the kayaks. The lake is only a short walk down the road. The beach and water were clean and quiet. Our kids enjoyed swimming and spending time by the water. The neighborhood is peaceful and road is quiet. The upstairs bedroom is not airconditioned, but does have a nice window to create air flow. Unfortunatley we were not able to use the ceiling fan to cool the upstairs due to the thick coating of dust. Overall this was a nice place to stay for a few days and we really enjoyed our stay.

Great getaway
Nice and quiet location. Rental was clean and comfortable. All three of us (fiancé, dog, myself) slept comfortably and enjoyed our downtime when there. Perfect location in terms of getting to fun spots in the North Conway area. Just be careful when driving around at night as roads are not as well lit but that’s to be expected where the rental was. All in all we had a blast during our short time in NH and would definitely go back and consider staying at that rental.

Summer Getaway
A very convenient little cottage - just a 2 minute walk to a small beach which is great for the kids to swim or for launching our kayaks. Also close to Conway and all the activities and attractions in the area! Air conditioning was definitely a plus, however there was no washer/dryer or dishwasher, which would have been more of an issue had we been there for more than a few days.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Not impressed
House was very dirty. Bird droppings on front porch/deck ,door and door handle. Food crumbs on countertops and kitchen floor. Refrigerator had dried food on shelves. Ceiling fan had caked on dust. Ants were in kitchen draws and on countertops. All dishes,silverware and pots were not clean. Bed linens had large dark stains on them. We could hear a large animal/ rodent crawling in the wall in the living room. No dish pan to wash dishes.

Overall good
We stayed in excellent VRBO rentals before. Only problem was garbage from previous rentals had never been removed from property. As snow melted we found an old cigar but on deck as well as dog poop. Which we picked up ourselves. The were many different conflicting instructions on what not to do and what to do in regards to heat, water, dishwasher (there is no dishwasher), but there were pods for one? Otherwise, we had fun. Would recommend streamlining instructions, and removing trash as we had to take ours home.

Nice & Relaxing
Very nice area - quiet neighbors. My MinPins enjoyed the change and the quiet. The pullout futon is a great place to enjoy a nap - or 3... We were there for 4 days and didn't get a chance to use the Kayak / Canoe or the Fire Pit - we plan to go back and hopefully spend more time. One thing we'd like to see is a bigger coffee maker! :-)

Very clean. Unfortunately we were there during a storm and lost power. Recommend stocking the unit with candles and flashlight just in case this happens again. Other than that nice unit and great neighborhood!
