We visited this property as a family traveling with a pet. The property was adequate to meet our needs, but did seem to be lacking in some key ways. For context, we did visit in summer during a major heat wave. Your experience may be different during other times of year.
Pros
-The pond is an easy walk, and we had a blast swimming to the floating dock and jumping off.
- Pet-friendly
- Close to N Conway for restaurants, etc. but with enough distance for quiet and less crowds
- Owner was very responsive and communicative
- Kitchen was well-equipped for our needs
Cons
- The house was HOT. We knew it would not have A/C, but we expected to have a few box fans. There were two fans, both with broken switches (but operable), and one was very very dirty, which we used only out of desperation. Not nearly enough for our group of 6 plus a pet. The owners offered to reimburse us to purchase more fans, but after a long day of traveling we didn't want to go searching for one.
- The place was "surface-clean" but could have used a deep clean. Lots of dirt and grime in corners, trash and dirty linens under beds, etc. Porch was covered in sand so it was impossible not to track sand in, even though we removed shoes. We wiped something off the floor at one point and the wipe came up totally black (basement).
- The only way to take trash out is to bring it to the transfer station, which has limited days/hours. We did not want to work our vacation plans around dump runs. We did receive permission to leave our trash when we left, since the station was not open that day, but the trash did accumulate over the stay.
- Basement smelled musty and mildewy (again, summer with no A/C, probably fine in other seasons). It was clear that owners were taking remediation steps, but it still remained smelly.
- Not enough bed pillows. We counted seven beds and eight bed pillows.
Overall, we did enjoy the location and made good use of the area, but we had enough frustrations with the house to be distracting, especially things with inexpensive fixes like buying more fans and pillows.
