Whether you are visiting in the winter or summer, you'll love this great home that is not only friendly to your kids but your furry kids as well! The deck is perfect for grilling in the summer while the winter will let you crank up the fireplace and stay warm while you watch the snowfall and cozy up on the sofa. The family room on the lower level is a great place for the kids, adults, or the whole family to play games and hang out during downtime. When everyone works up an appetite, fill hungry bellies with home-cooked meals prepared in the full kitchen. Doze off as a favorite movie plays on the flatscreen TV and the snow falls outside.

What's Nearby:
In the winter, you'll be near multiple skiing locations including Attitash less than 20 miles away and King Pine which is less than 10 miles away. Conway is only four miles away and features a brewery and lots of fun spots to eat and shop. If you're serious about shopping, make the eight-mile drive up to Settler's Green Outlet Village which features stores such as Levis, Adidas, and many others.

Stood us up - Stay away from VRBO
They cancelled last minute and we were stuck without recourse and without a place to stay during one of the most busy weekends of the year. No way to speak with a human and no phone number on the website.

Eidelweiss Village-whale Lodge
Our stay started with the key pad to enter not working. We eventually got lock box code and able to get in. Home had a basic cleaning but not overly clean with popcorn etc on floor from previous renter. Ant infestation and coach roaches, reported to owner, had been an issue in a May and July review, clearly not addressed. Local Mtc arrived with ant traps. Advertised to sleep 10 and we were party of 9, sleep sofa so damaged unable to use and 1 in our party ended up having to leave as no where to sleep after trying a few nights on a very old uncomfortable couch - also reported to owner with no response other then it would be addressed but wasn’t. Beds very uncomfortable and basement very damp. Had to buy air freshener to help with musty Molly smell. Also a boil water order posted on fridge that on day 2 we were able to confirm was rescinded but never removed from 3-4 weeks earlier. Ad indicated just over 3 miles to LL Bean outlet, actually just over 6. Kitchen very disorganized, I had to spend part Of one day organizing pots and pans as they were stacked half hazard and wasn’t functional when trying to cook. Bathroom sink in Main bathroom would not drain on day one (also previous note in a review in July) and we had to remove a huge hair clog ourselves by removing the plug and digging it out, photo provided to owner with no response. We will NOT return to this location, very disappointed when many of Our issues have been reported all summer and never addressed!

Roaches, unresponsive hosts and more
Our family has been staying at a different rental house in the North Conway area every summer for 22 years. This was one seemed fine upon arrival. Very quickly we started seeing ants all over the kitchen. The kitchen was extremely disorganized and missing essential tools. The sliding door was very hard to open. BUGS were ALL OVER the place. Then late one night we noticed large bugs running up the dishwasher and behind it. A family member knew they were German ROACHES. I did a quick google search it that’s exactly what they were. The house had a bad MOISTURE PROBLEM and nothing was ever quite dry. PLUMBING ISSUES: The main floor toilet would spit a significant amount of water out across the bathroom floor each time we flushed. Very unsanitary and disgusting to deal with. The main floor bathroom sink had a hard time draining. PRIVACY ISSUES: There was a vent between the laundry room and basement bathroom through which you could clearly see someone sitting on the toilet. There were similar vents between the main floor and the upstairs bedrooms where you could literally see straight down from a bedroom into the kitchen/living room and could hear everything. The trash barrel was full upon arrival. We were only provided with about 6 bath towels for a group of 10. We reached out to Vacasa (who is managing the property) regarding some of these issues and were told someone would call us back about the trash and someone would drop off 4 more towels- we never heard back. Stay away

Just Okay
The house itself ended up being okay, but there were a few issues. When we arrived, the house smelled overwhelmingly of dogs, as if it hadn't been properly cleaned. There was a bad fruit fly infestation. There were also some pans that had been put away dirty. The booklet of information at the house is extremely outdated and created some confusion - for trash, the dehumidifier, and the downstairs shower (which it said not to use) specifically. Overall, we had an okay stay but we would not stay here again.

Great location and sandy beaches
This was a good family home. Couch in living room not so comfy, beds and bathrooms all pretty good and kitchen very well outfitted for a family and cooking. Great location for sandy pond beaches, close to many recreation areas.

Spring skiing
We had a great time at whale rock lodge. The cabin was nicely maintained and well stocked. Check in was seamless. It is close to king Pine ski resort which is a great mountain to learn to ski or snow board. They also have tubing, ice skating, snowshoeing if looking for other winter fun. My kids had a great time building a snow fort in the front yard as well as a whale sculpture. Beds were firm but comfortable. The only question I had was what to do with the trash at checkout, because there is a binder in the house that said to take it to the dump using the dump passes. I wasn’t able to find the passes so I reached out to the manager. Who quickly responded and told me I could just leave the trash in the barrels provided on the deck. This is a great home with lots of charm.

Very nice home
The house is very clean and spacious. Well appointed kitchen with plenty of pots and pans, etc. There is a convenience store very close that carries pretty much everything. The property is very private and quiet. We didn't hear anyone. Communication with the property management company was terrible. Prior to our stay I sent 3 messages (one about bringing 2 dogs, one about any COVID-19 restrictions and one looking to change dates) and got a reply to one, 33 days later. A phone call placed to both the 800 number and the local number was met with a recording saying the wait time on hold was "2 hours". I had no confidence they could resolve an issue if one arrised during my stay, luckily there were no problems.
