Our family had such a great Christmas holiday staying here. Great space, host & amenities, and nice short walk to bottom of the Hawk.We’d happily return!
The house is great! Fantastic location and good amenities. The hosts are super helpful and we had a very smooth check-in and out. More than enough space for everyone and a super enjoyable time up in the mountain. We will be staying again!
This property has everything needed for a family stay: high chair, booster, tons of toys, potty and even kids appropriate cutlery. It is conveniently located minutes walk from the Hawk chair and Nordic trails. We loges our stay!

We had a great, relaxing time at the property. Plenty of space for 6 of us (grandparent, parents, and two small kids). The Hawk chair is a mere 150m away, making it super convenient to ski without driving anywhere. The house had all the amenities and plenty of toys for the kids. Thank you Samantha for the hospitality!
The chalet worked out great, comfortable beds and living space, clean and well equipped. Samantha even offered to bring something we left back to Victoria for us!
The property was exactly what we were looking for - lots of space, great for kids (lots of books, games, places to hide from parents) and everything we needed was there. Ideal location close to the Hawk chairlift; it was easy to use the magic carpets to get our kids to the ski lessons and easy for us to get on the mountain for our own skiing. Place was clean, well organized and had comfy beds. Fully recommend it!

Thank you so much for your kind words. It was a pleasure hosting you.
We enjoyed staying at this property a lot - a fun way to get everybody together for Christmas. The weather on Mount Washington was terrible, but that wasn’t our host’s fault. Fortunately, there was lots to do in and around the house, games, movies and fun things to take our minds off the fact that snow sports were out of the question.

We rented this townhouse for our wedding weekend. It has everything you could want. It’s very spacious, with plenty of sleeping spaces, we just have 1 child but could’ve squeezed in lots more! This is just down the road from The Raven Lodge, it was a great location for us. Samantha was very responsive to any need we had. This is a great family home, it has a ping pong table that was a huge hit, and also an amazing ‘kids zone’ on the top floor. Beware tho, there’s a lot of stairs! You will feel the burn by day 3 of going up and down 😊
We were pleasantly surprised to find the already attractive pictures did not actually give the full scale of the accommodation. We found it much larger than the pictures portrayed it. There was so much space to have our family gather and not feel like we were in each others space the whole time. The house was brilliantly equipt with anything you might need from a games room in the garage to plenty of toys and play spaces for young kids. The kitchen was well stocked with what we needed to prepare a christmas dinner and the bedrooms were cozy and comfortable. The host was very quick to communicate and accommodate us when our plans had small changes beyond our control. I would happily stay here again. Thanks very much!
Very nice accommodations a short walk from the Hawk chair lift. Very good for children and families. Well equipped kitchen, comfortable living area, the lego collection was nice for my son. Could comfortably fit 2 couples and 4 children.
We spent 4 nights with our son, his wife and a grandchild. Perfect setup. Layout is great for socializing but also offers privacy. Casual, not fancy, but laid back and comfortable. Very well equipped kitchen, including spices! Tons of books, toys. And generally cool stuff for kids. Close to lifts and Nordic center. Easy parking for us (though might be a bit trickier with lots of snow.
Large multi level townhouse that was very well equipped. Location within a short walking distance from main lift. Feels like a ski chalet on the mountain !
We absolutely loved staying in the beautiful town home on Mt Washington that Samantha and her family offered to us! There was ample of great space for the five of us! Everything was so lovely upon arrival! Bedrooms for everyone, including the loft. Everything was so clean. The kitchen was so well stocked for cooking etc. Much appreciated.! Beautiful decor that made you feel good! Great dining room space with pretty winter outlook! Wonderful times were had in the dining room, playing games, listening to music and eating meals etc. The town home is in a perfect location between both between both chalets. Easy walk over to the Nordic chalet! Samantha was great to work with. I can see she really cares about her guests. We loved it so much! So grateful!
This was such a pleasant trip to make with our 1.5 year old. There is so much for a kid to do here- both inside and outside. As a travelling parent, I brought a lot of things that were able to stay in the car as it’s already available at the rental. It’s super duper spacious. The location is lovely and very convenient. All parts of this getaway home are well equipped- kitchen, play room, bedrooms.
I think they’re working out the cleaning company as we did have a few close calls with running low on toilet paper and dish soap. The owner was able to coordinate getting us supplies very quickly though!
