We loved staying in this house! It is an old train station transformed into a fabulous airbnb. The hosts were the best hosts I've ever had. Would totally stay here again

We absolutely loved our stay at the Station House! Susan was a wonderful host. She checked in periodically and let us know that she was available if we needed anything. I had mentioned that my partner and I were celebrating my birthday and there was even a birthday cake and a bottle of wine waiting for us when we got there. The house was charming and immaculate. It was clear that they spent lots of time and attention to making sure everything was sanitized and cleaned thoroughly which made traveling during these times worry free. The Gilford/Laconia area itself is super cute and there's lots to do. We went to the beach, ate yummy seafood and got to go to a drive-in movie. The fire-pit + s'mores fix-ins provided by Susan were an added bonus. Highly recommend!

Cozy and Comfortable

We really enjoyed staying at the Station House. The decorations were great, and the home cozy and comfortable. It was clean and well stocked, and the host (Susan) was excellent at communicating. If you need anything, she is available, just contact her! It's a unique property with interesting history in a great location!

NH Foliage 2023

We made reservation on short notice, Susan responded right away with confirmation. We arrived after dark but Susan had left lights on for us. The house was exactly as advertised, for us the fenced back yard was a key point for our dog. We cooked a few meals here and found the kitchen well stocked, this included snacks and wine - thank you Susan. Highly recommend this property for a central location to NH. Plenty to do and numerous stores are a short drive.

Hozier Weekend

We selected this property for its location and its unique charm. We were not disappointed the house was very comfortable, clean and charming. It is an older house so keep that in mind. Susan did a great job decorating it and making it feel like home. We arrived very late on Friday and Susan was nice enough to leave the lights on in the house for us so we were not struggling to check in. She checked on us to make sure we had everything we needed. Location is walking distance to the bank of New Hampshire Pavilion and a short drive to Gunstock Mountain which had some nice hiking trails. If we ever come back to the area we would stay here again..
