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.

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.

Great find for a long weekend getaway
Always wanted to stay in an A frame! Check in was easy and directions were clear. Home was clean and heat was easy to use. Kitchen had everything needed for cooking meals. Stayed here with my husband and dog.

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.

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

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.

The place was fine just smelt a bit when we got there & the smoke alarms were chirping. Yard work could use a bit more work. Overall it was clean comfortable beds but small. Hair dryer box under sink but no hairdryer located in it. GapS never brought us to exact location
