Perched atop Mill Brook, this beautiful 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers picturesque views and tranquil surroundings. It is also centrally located to all the area’s attractions.

Loon Mountain, Cannon Mountain, and Waterville Valley Resort are all within a 25-minute drive and offer world-class winter sports. Ice Castles, snowmobile rentals, winter zip lining, and off-road tours are all within a 15-20 minute drive. Enjoy a romantic sleigh ride at one of the nearby farms or simply take in the mesmerizing beauty of your backyard – the brook freezes over in the winter and is magical.

If ice fishing is your thing, Squam Lake is 30 minutes away and Lake Winnipesaukee is 45 minutes away. You can enjoy the best of both worlds: the White Mountains and the famous Lakes Region.

Snowy Getaway
Our family loved staying at this location for a Winter Vacation Break! The house is off the beaten path just enough to feel remote and the wood & brook backyard view is breathtaking. We built a fire a couple nights and just enjoyed all the wonderful coziness the house had to offer. The amenities and layout of the house made us feel like we were at our own home. The host was responsive and a pleasure to interact with. We will definitely try to stay here again!

Wonderful property, great location! Nicely decorated, comfortable, what a great house! The fire pit and screened porch were terrific bonuses. We didn't lack for anything in terms of kitchen, bath, and beds. In fact, there was a nice welcome basket with snacks and water awaiting us upon arrival.

Wonderful family weekend
The weather cooperated to make this a pleasant weekend in a quiet and serene section of New Hampshire. The Cottage was very clean and child friendly. Host's instructions were clear and prompt. There are several amusement-type areas up the road in the Lincoln area for our kids, but we didn't not use them as the Cottage presents its own form of family time. If you are looking for a quiet retreat slightly off the beaten path, this is recommended. Oh yes -- the brook. Wow.

This was a dream Vacation for us. We loved the Brooke and rocks to hang out on. The out door flower gardens are so pretty. We made a lot of memories. The living area is very comfortable. The master bath is huge. The kitchen has a smaller refrigerator for drinks if needed. I will and would book again.

Ride, Rest and Unwind.
For the past 30 years, we have traveling to New Hampshire for Laconia Bike week. This is the first time we decided to rent a VRBO. The property was amazing and set in a great location to travel to any destination. Coffee in the morning out back, listening to the brook set the mood for the day. The home has everything you will need to enjoy your time here. Our Thanks to the hosts.

Brook House
The house is in a great and quiet location. It was very clean, spacious and the host is super accommodating. It is a short 20 minute drive to both Loon and Waterville Valley so we enjoyed both while staying there. Everything you need for a great mountain trip is here. The brook out back is just like in the photos and is a beautiful site for your morning coffee. I would highly recommend to other travelers.

This place is awesome!
We booked this house close to Loon Mt so we can ski and snowboard and not stay in a hotel for more relaxation. The ride was very easy to and from the mountain. The house is very clean, very comfortable, greatly equipped with all you may need and had plenty of space for my husband and 2 boys, 12 & 14. We all enjoyed the ping pong/air hockey table! The view off the back was spectacular for us Florida peeps who really only look at flat land. We will definitely book again. Thank you so much to the hosts for their great communication and care.

Beautiful home, amazing river view, excellent stay!
The Cottage on the Brook is beautifully decorated, and has everything you need. Setting is perfect and the river views are amazing. It was nice to be as secluded as we were, yet close enough to skiing and other activities. Shalaka is great to work with and we look forward to visiting again.

The location and house is perfect for a quiet vacation. Enjoyed the secluded back yard situated on the brook with the waterfall. Fully stocked kitchen for cooking, with the view of the brook. Deer and turkey roamed the yard. Star gazing at night. The house is clean and rooms are quiet with plenty of heat and modern touches. Easy access to main road and attractions.

Perfect weekend
This property checks all the boxes. The house was spacious and clean. Everything labeled for ease of use. Everything is provided, we just brought food and clothing. The location is perfect for exploring the white mountains. And the river view behind the house is to die for. The owners were very responsive when needed and very organized so we didn't need to reach out for anything. It was a perfect stay at a perfect house... Beds were comfy, tv's great and very cozy/comfortable.. Can't say enough.

The views from the dining/living area and master bedroom are gorgeous. This home was immaculate, spacious, and comfortable. The kids (12 and 14) loved the air hockey/ping pong table. There was plenty of room to spread out and enjoy privacy to read a book and relax or gather for a meal or to watch TV. Would definitely recommend this lovely home!

A delightful place to stay
Our family had a very comfortable stay here. Impressive kitchen and bathrooms and all around clean and inviting. Kids will enjoy the air hockey/ping pong and all will enjoy the brook in the back. It was so refreshing on warm days and listening to it at night made for very pleasant evenings. No complaints at all. The owners were friendly and clearly put a lot of thought and effort into making this property a trouble-free gem. Benton’s Sugar Shack down the street is a must-visit for breakfast and J.L. Sullivan’s pub a few minutes away was excellent for dinner. My family really enjoyed this place and we have brought home lots of great new memories from this absolutely beautiful part of New Hampshire.

Spectacular house and property!
The house was beautiful and had ample room for the 7 of us. The property though is what "puts it over the top"! After a day of running here and there, trying to cram as many activities in as possible, it was wonderful to return to the serenity and privacy of the back yard and simply relax taking in the beauty of the brook and it's numerous waterfalls. During our time there, despite the slightly hectic schedule we enjoyed, we still managed to get into the brook's swimming hole (actually there are two areas right behind the house that are large enough to be "swimming holes") on several occasions. The water was crystal clear and exhilarating to lounge in on the hot days we experienced while there. The property owner, Shalaka, was a joy to deal with. She reached out to us several times during our stay to ensure everything was going well. We'll definitely be "trying" (if the word gets out availability will be limited :) ) to vacation here again!

Private comfort
This home was spotless! The owner's description of her property is thorough and accurate along with nice indoor and outdoor photos. Shalaka is an accommodating host and replies prompty. It's about 20 minutes south of Loon Mountain making it a great home base for the week. The kitchen is well equiped, the family room had plenty of room for five adults and two teenagers. The master suite is great with towel heater. The bedroom with a queen and bunks for small children is nice. The private backyard has a great view of the river which was raging due to all the rain and snow melt. We highly recommend this house and would rent again.

Amazing Getaway
Our family was looking for a quiet and peaceful spot for a long weekend close to skiing and other activities and this property did not disappoint. The home was beautiful and had activities (books and games) for our children. They loved the air hockey/ping pong table. The entire house was clean as a whistle and had everything needed to make it feel like home. Akash and Shalaka are incredible and kept in touch to make sure everything was going well. Our stay happened during a relatively strong snow storm but instead of being inconvenienced the generator kept everything as normal and it was actually a magical experience. Convenient to multiple ski locations and we visited the ice castles. Would imagine its just as spectacular in the summer months as well.

The house was well maintained. There was a lot of space which is especially great for the kids. There were a lot of things to keep the kids entertained including an air hockey/ping pong table and a small play/toy room on the second floor. The hosts were very responsive and welcoming. They even left a personalized note and a small basket of treats which was a thoughtful gesture. We will definitely stay here again!!
