Horrible Experience – Fly Infestation and Zero Support
I had a nightmare stay at this property and cannot recommend it to anyone. When we arrived, the house was infested with flies—buzzing and dropping dead in the kitchen, bathrooms, and bedrooms. It was disgusting and completely uninhabitable. We tried to reach a specialist immediately, but they were unhelpful and clueless about the refund process. They assured us that a “local” representative would contact us, but no one ever did. With no assistance and nowhere else to go, we had to sleep in the car overnight. The next day, we found alternative accommodations at additional cost. Throughout this ordeal, I continuously reached out to the company via phone, text, and chat, only to get the same canned response: “Someone from the local team will get back to you.” The chat representatives couldn’t even spell correctly, adding to the frustration. I kept receiving generic messages asking how my stay was and inviting me to leave a review, while no one addressed the serious issue at hand. To make matters worse, I still haven’t heard from anyone on the local team, and there’s been no word about a refund. I didn’t spend a single night in that fly-infested, smelly house. Avoid this property and the platform at all costs—they do not care about customer service or resolving serious issues.

Rustic hillside retreat
We had a big problem with hundreds (literally) of dead and dying flies and ladybugs inside the house. We vacuumed them up at leasts 5 times in 2 days. The upstairs queen bed is very uncomfortable. Both showers are outdated and have low water pressure. Slow wifi. Coffee maker provided but no filters that fit and no coffee. Very few amenities. We asked for a partial cleaning refund and were denied.

Just Being Nitpicky
5 Stars for the stay, 3 Star accommodation. LOW towel count, need more bathrooms, water pressure low because pipes in house are too small. As for the bathrooms one up stairs in bedroom, one downstairs shares with bedroom [no lock for this door] and there are 4 more sleeping space up stairs. The pool table and Dart board were unusable [better to not have them] need anti-skid strips on steep inclined steps from main floor to second floor [my daughter slipped and butt slide down 4 steps, she was unharmed] make oth space in carport available [owner storing lumber]

Spacious yet cozy
The property and home are amazing with many antiques, nooks, and beautiful views from the wrap around deck. Well appointed kitchen to prepare for family meals around the gorgeous dinning room table. A couple of minor issues in the kitchen include fridge running too cold, even at the lowest setting, and vent over stove not working. Bathrooms, especially the showers, are small with low water pressure on the first floor. Despite these couple of areas, I’d highly recommend this home to others looking for a ski get away or hikers year round.

A week wasn’t long enough
We loved everything about our stay. The house was beautiful, very clean, and very well equipped. The location was perfect for us to take lovely hikes each day and eat in nice restaurants almost every night. The setting was private and peaceful. We hope to return again next year. Thanks for having us.

Cosy & quiet with views of the mountains. Great for unplugged ski trip..
Very clean and cosy house with tons of open living space. Some might call it "dated", I prefer "homely". The theme is lots of exposed wood and antique features. The lighting is interesting - there are more than a dozen lamps scattered around the large living area, which creates a really charming ambience in the evenings. Fittings and appliances are old-school - smallish TV, eccentric showers, bad internet. But the stove and dishwasher (and washer / dryer) are up to date and in perfect condition. Another modern feature - electronic blinds. Clearly the owners have put a lot of love into this house. It was a bit like visiting with an older uncle who is very into woodwork and getting things properly squared away. We rented this house for a 3-night ski trip to Bretton Woods. BW is about 25mins easy drive from this house. The road and driveway had been ploughed, but watch out for ruts. Accessibility note: you have to climb about a dozen uneven stone steps to get up to the house. The staircase to the upper level is a bit slippery and has open steps - not easy for the very young or very old, and definitely something to warn rambunctious kids against running on. The folks at Vacasa were very responsive - when I reported that the downstairs shower wasn't working, they had someone out the next day who fixed it. More Pros: Warm! Great views of White mountains Quiet neighbourhood Pool table and dart board are fairly battered, so we were happy to let the kids try them without fear of damage. Cons: internet was very flaky during our stay. Sometimes rebooting the wifi router helped. Dish TV didn't seem to be working - we never got the larger upstairs TV to connect to anything. No big deal. Master bedroom mattress needs updating - it sags noticeably in the middle. Upstairs shower is teeny, tall people will struggle. Similarly, the beds are rather small (esp the second bedroom). Tips: Google maps brought us short of the address. You want the driveway with 2 square brick pillars, and take the left fork. Bring your own firewood and firestarters (no working lighters/ matches on site). Note for skiiers: no mud room.

quiet woodsy house
Loved staying here, has all the amenities and well appointed. It hosted lots of great family get togethers. Deck is wonderful for bird watching and chatting. Access to privacy (a floor plan thing) is a bit challenging so you want to be with friends/family who are flexible (bathrooms are shared and connected to a bedroom)

Beautiful old house with a nice deck and pond. Really had a great time staying there. Beautiful Vista from the deck. 30 minutes to Bretton woods. 10 minutes to porcfest or Roger's campground. Would stay again. One bathroom is teeny tiny with an awkward sink.

Cozy winter cabin
This was a clean and cozy winter cabin. Plenty on additional sleeping space if you have lots of children or are friends who don’t need/want privacy. The only 2 minor downfalls Were they do not supply firewood, while other properties we’ve rented do. There were no basic spices for cooking. Usually there is salt and pepper at least.

Beautiful house!
We absolutely loved The Hillcroft House. It was spacious and comfortable, and was perfect for my family of 3! The house is ~20-25 minutes from Bretton Woods. We loved the fireplace and the large windows with mountain views. The beds are all really comfortable. Previous commenters had said that the kitchen wasn't well-stocked, but we thought it was fine. There wasn't anything in the fridge, but there were plenty of plates, silverware, pots, and pans, and there were some pantry staples as well. The downstairs TV was actually bigger than it appears in the photos. We liked that it was a Smart TV with Netflix, Amazon, Disney+, etc. Note that there are a set of steps to get up to the house, which were icy in the winter. This may be difficult for people with mobility issues or lots of luggage. Overall, we had a great stay and would definitely return!

Perfect mountain retreat!
This is a beautiful, well kept, cozy retreat atop hill that gives you gorgeous views of the mountains. Kitchen is well equipped with just the right number of pans/utensils/tools. The house is well stocked with paper goods, blankets, and towels. The layout creates a very intimate space, with many places to curl up with a good book or cup of coffee. If the weather is warm enough, the wrap around deck and yard provide additional space to relax and breathe the clean mountain air! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

We all enjoyed our stay at this beautiful house, we are looking forward to returning. Everyone felt so comfortable and there was plenty of space for our party of 6, three adults and three kids.

Nice house with views of the mountains
Stayed here with friends for 3 nights and had a great time. The house has large windows and a wrap around deck to enjoy the views. There is also a nice fireplace to enjoy if you want to bring your own wood. The bedroom upstairs is very small, so there’s not much room for 2 people. It also has a sink in it since the bathroom is tiny. The rest of the floor has a lot of room, with a den and 3 twin beds in an open loft type room. Would stay here again if we come back to the area.
