About this property
The Gecko Inn - Shopping, Santas Village, Skiing, Hot Tub, hikes, families, pets
A perfect central location for your White Mountain Valley Vacation. The Gecko Inn has a long tradition, 17+ years, of renting to 1 or 2 families looking for a peaceful location with mountain views yet only 20 minutes to Storyland, 10 minutes to Cranmore Mountain and Adventure Park and an easy drive to all North Conway amenities. Our home is located at the end of a cul-de-sac in the quiet Birch Hill development. This home used to be listing #22036 with 51 positive reviews before we purchased it from the previous owners in 2016. We are friends who rented from them every year and are excited to continue the same traditions to you. Whether you are coming to Ski, Hike, Tube the Saco River, Shop at the North Conway outlets, or relax by the fireplace or in the hot tub, The Gecko Inn is small enough for one family yet spacious enough for two families to enjoy. Most neighbors are full time residents so this is not a "party home."
NEW IN 2023: Refrigerator Stove/Oven Dishwasher Rinnai Propane heaters
It is minutes to the spectacular North Conway public golf course, Echo Lake, and to extensive hiking trails in the National forest, including the beautiful waterfalls and swimming pools of Diana's Baths. The Saco and Swift Rivers are very close by for water sports including summer tubing.
Awaiting you in North Conway Village, a short seven minutes away, is tax-free, outlet shopping, a plethora of spectacular restaurants, great nightly entertainment, numerous seasonal activities, sightseeing, parks and good old New Hampshire hospitality.
Family fun and entertainment abounds in the Mount Washington Valley area. StoryLand (20 minutes), Santa's Village (1 hour), the Conway Scenic Railroad (with visits from Thomas the Train and The Polar Express (Late Nov and Dec), Children's and weather museums, local farms, hay rides, and many other amusements are all within a short drive of the house. The Mount Washington auto road is an exciting day trip for the Summer or early fall visitors.
Skiers will appreciate the short distances to multiple ski mountains. Cranmore Mountain (10 Minutes), Attitash (20 min.), Black Mountain, Bretton Woods, King Pine, and Wildcat are all an easy drive. Come home to relax in the hot tub or sit by the fireplace to warm your toes. Stay in North Conway and enjoy the Mount Washington Valley to its fullest in every season!
Inside the spacious contemporary home you will find three floors. The open first floor has a full bathroom, a bedroom with two sets of bunk beds, a fully-equipped kitchen, a six-foot dining table for 6, breakfast bar for 4, cathedral ceiling Family Room, with a Sky Chair, TV, DVD and fireplace, that opens onto a 300-square-foot deck from which you can enjoy peace and solitude. There is an attached mud room for all your ski/snowboard/bike/outdoor gear. The deck also has a sun room with 5 person Nordic Hot Tub for year-round enjoyment.
The second floor has 2 Bedrooms, full bath and a loft area. Each bedroom has a queen sized bed, there is a full bathroom, and a loft area with a single day bed and seating space perfect for reading or playing a board game.
The lower level, finished with 3/4 bath, bedroom with two single beds and a 2nd family room with TV, sectional couch and a Futon sofa. Challenge your family members or friends to a Foosball tournament! This is a great added space for the kids to play while the adults are upstairs or for a second family to have their own space.
The house is ideal for one family or two families to share a vacation. This is not a "Party Home" as we are located in a quiet neighborhood and our guests must adhere to respectful noise levels at all times.
There is a gazebo in the backyard and a fire pit just outside for those romantic autumn evenings. There is not a grassed area for play as it is a wooded lot. The surrounding area is quiet and peaceful, with conservation land nearby for hiking and cross-country skiing.
We are just 2 hours and 30 minutes from Boston, 3 hours from Worcester, and 4 hours from Hartford, CT. The Pizza Barn in Ossipee has been a family favorite to stop for Dinner or lunch when driving up.
Located in Birch Hill, a neighborhood in North Conway, this vacation home is near theme parks and near a water park. Cranmore Mountain Resort and Attitash Mountain Resort are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those wishing to experience the area's popular attractions can visit Conway Scenic Railway and Story Land. Fryeburg Fair and Mount Washington Observatory Weather Discovery Center are also worth visiting. Enjoy the area's slopes with cross-country skiing and snowboarding, and don't miss out on the ice skating and sledding. Visit our North Conway travel guide

Great price for the property with amenities! The hot tub was perfect after a day on the slopes. Only a ten minute drive to North Conway. Especially appreciated that this property was dog friendly. Will definitely rent again.
Hosts were prompt and clear in their communication and provided a helpful guide to the property. The house is in a quiet, convenient location and has a terrific layout for a family holiday get-together. We were pleased with our stay at the Gecko Inn.
We have been to the Geicko Inn many times. It is an excellent ski house, close to the mountains and North Conway. We have always had a great time there.

Great time at the Gecko Inn
The hot tub was wonderful. Had all the amenities needed. It was very homey.
Our family skis and enjoys various restaurants in the area. Our favorite time is time spent in the GECKO eating, playing board games and just being together!
The house was beautifully decorated for the holidays, clean, warm and comfortable.Plenty of room for the 7 adult women - would love to stay there in the different seasons.
We had a wonderful time at the Gecko Inn! Great location to awesome downtown Noryh Conway and beautiful sites and excusions. The home had plenty of space and was very comfortable. Highly recommend!
We had a great time! The house was spacious and clean with plenty of ways to entertain our young kids (2 and 3). There is so much to do in the area and the gecko inn was convenient to get to everything!
This home is an incredible place for families to stay and enjoy all that the white mountains have to offer. There is plenty of space for everyone, all the linens, towels, bathrooms, and outside space a large party needs to enjoy themselves. And on top of that, the hosts are communicative and kind. Highly recommend!
Very comfortable and clean place for our annual family ski getaway. Perfect setup for teens to hang out in their own space = key for the parents too. The hot tub is always an important part of our stay as well and this house had it all.
Owners were great communicators with emails, an extensive Welcome Packet and helpful notes throughout.
The Gecko Inn is our go-to in the North Conway area for girls’ weekend. The house is comfortable, clean, and well-appointed, and a short drive from shopping, dining, and recreation. Perfect for playing board games, relaxing, and preparing meals. We will definitely be back!
We had another fun family getaway at the Gecko Inn! As always, the house was clean and has plenty of space for us to spread out and play games and enjoy the family. This time we celebrated Thanksgiving and were treated to the first snow of the season. The Gecko Inn is located close to all the stores and sites of North Conway. We’ll be back again soon!
Located in a peaceful neighborhood, this was the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy Conway and the greater area for the week. Plenty of space for our family to spread out (teens got their privacy!). The deck and hot tub were perfect for relaxing in after a day hiking too! The owners were very responsive when we had issues that arose.
we had a great time! Perfect for our frouo of 8! Everything you need is there. Having the 3 bathrooms with our group was awesome.. enjoyed the hot tub. Great. Location. We made our dinner and the kitchen was perfect had everything we needed and plenty of seatong and sleeping.. would highly recommend@
We have stayed at the Gecko Inn for our family winter getaway for a number of years now. This home is perfect for our family, warm, clean and welcoming! It is in close proximity to our favorite "play in the snow" activities. Our grandchildren (4, 9 and12) look forward to it every year...especially counting the geckos and checking out any new ones. Ken and Tanya are gracious hosts and regularly respond to any questions. We love our family winter vacation at the Gecko Inn!
The Gecko Inn is the perfect place for family gathering! Every year our adult children, their spouses and children join us for a winter getaway in the Whites. This tradition started about 36 years ago when we were a couple with young children. The location, space, cleanliness and warmth of the Gecko Inn have made it possible for us to continue creating wonderful family memories! Ken and Tanya are perfect hosts, ways accessible to answer questions and make us feel welcome. Special kudos to the housekeeping staff who made sure we entered a sparkling home!
We had a really great time staying at this home. It was very comfortable and spacious. Everything was clean, and the kitchen was well stocked. We cooked several big meals there. Our favorite part was the foosball and giant Jenga. We had such a blast with that. The only thing that was a little tricky was the heating. It was difficult to get the right temperature. It was either too hot or too cold, you have to play around with the heat to get it at a good temperature. The location was perfect. And we had a wonderful time there.
We had only five adults and one almost 3 year old granddaughter with us (and their dog) and were so comfortable. We never used the downstairs but it looked like a fun area to play in. The owners were very responsive to our questions prior to arriving. The only suggestion we would make is to add some larger biwls (for soup, salad, etc.) it really helped to have everything labeled so we could put everything back in place. The location is perfect for getting into Conway and other scenic sites. Very quiet as well. We will def recommend this rental to friends or family looking to visit the Conway area.
