We appreciated that they reached out to let us know we could check in early. The only issue was they did not have supplies, for example: garbage bags, cleaners to clean up after yourself. We were disappointed the hot tub didn’t work as it was one of the reasons we had chosen the property, but they did alert us to this prior to our stay. Other than that, very nice comfortable, clean and roomy house. And very close to Gunstock. ##### Anthony L. Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Lester C. Jun 25, 2025 Liked: Check-in Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy #### Retiree “I’m sailing trip” At first, we were excited for this property and we thought it was going to be great. But here is a rundown of some of the things that we are upset about in addition to the air conditioning being broken for nearly 36 hours. Later the maintenance guy showed us the filters. It had obviously been a long time since Maintenance had been done. This cause them not to work when it was 100 out. The house stayed at over 85 inside for a day. Additionally:1. Upstairs bathroom Towels had stains/dirt on them from previous renter. They also left several boxes of beer box trash. We do not drink. 2. Downstairs TV had no channels or programming to watch. Which was bad because we were stuck down there due to the heat and broken AC. 3. Upstairs bedroom had curtain rod fall off of window(previously reported). We never used the room. 4. Downstairs sliding door was unlocked when arrived and could not be locked. Bad mechanism poor maintenance. 5. On the last night we could finally watch tv upstairs and enjoy the upstairs, but the Upstairs couch was very hard and appeared very old. It also had a stain on the ottoman portion. Looked real old, but for the cost expected more. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/69038ff9-a22a-45d0-a0de-70e82526e2f0-1750869594130.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Lester C.

Jan 1, 2025 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy #### Disappointed stay due to amenities not working After confirming two times prior to my arrival that the fireplace was working I arrived with firewood I was told to purchase myself to a fireplace that wasn’t working. My vision of my family relaxing by a cozy fireplace during our winter vacation was ruined. After texts and phone calls to attempt to resolve the issue I kept being assured that the “local team” would be in touch but I never heard from them. I was offered a whopping 150 credit. So incredibly disappointed with this VRBO and Vacasa experience and the owner should take some accountability for the false advertising. ##### Heather L.

Jun 23, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great for a short get-away My family of three (plus a great-uncle) with dog choose this house for a short get-away near Lake Winnipesaukee. The house is true to its pictures: Nicely updated and very clean and comfortable. The main bedroom bed was heavenly. It was the perfect size for the four of us. Hot tub was a great feature. We also used the fire pit to make smores. The yard was just ok. On the second day we discovered that one of the steps on the deck was broken. We contacted management and they responded right away saying they would contact the local crew to fix it, but we were gone before we saw it fixed. The house is in a nice location to do things around the lake, but you will need a car! Ellacoya Barn and Grill was a great place nearby to get a meal. Overall, we enjoyed our visit. ##### Erica K. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Allison D. Feb 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Great ski vacation! We had a great week at Deer Run Lane! We booked almost a year in advance to ski at Gunstock Mountain. You can't beat the proximity to the mountain! The house is an "upside down house" with the majority of the living space/ kitchen/ etc. on the second floor (two bedrooms up & two bedrooms down). It gets lots of natural sunlight. We were provided with ample towels, toiletries and other supplies which aren't typically provided in a home rental. I booked through VRBO but this property is managed by Vacasa. Had I known I probably could have saved a bit by booking directly with Vacasa. The few times I contacted Vacasa (in advance) it took them a long time to get back to me and didn't seem to be local to NH. Our only feedback would be more/ better instructions on how to operate the hot tub & flue for the fireplace. We would definitely book this home again! ##### Allison D. Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Mary D. Mar 13, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Mice, no heat, not hot way, burst pipes We checked in Friday night and arranged to checkout late on Sunday.Saturday morning, my adult son who had slept downstairs-reported that the mice in the room had kept him awake most of the night. Later he tried to have a nap and the mice were still running around and in fact just sitting next to the bed. I immediately called Vacasa and told them about the problem. That night (Sat) it got extremely cold. The downstairs was absolutely freezing to the point that, again, my adult sons, were shivering. The next morning, we heard a loud hissing noise from downstairs, and there was water coming out from under the baseboard heat. I immediately called Vacasa-they said they would call the Handyman. Approximately 30 minutes later, the handyman called me and said that he would be to the house in 45 minutes or so, I told him I believed it was a burst pipe and he arrived about an hour later, with no equipment to fix it. He then left and returned a few hours later, the water was gushing, even worse. I asked him if we should take showers now, and he said that the water had nothing to do with the problem he was there to fix. What we did not know was that he had turned off the heat and hot water so that within an hour, it was freezing upstairs and we could not shower because there was no hot water. Called Vacasa again-and we left. Vacasa is refusing to compensate me in any way for my trouble-that because the Handyman was there when I left-it was being fixed-and that’s good enough. ##### Mary D.
