This house features a central location near tons of great year-round activities and attractions. It also boasts a firepit and two furnished decks for prime outdoor living. A seasonal barbecue grill is also provided for summertime cookouts. The home is only a few miles from Ellacoya State Beach, making sandy excursions easily accessible.

After the day's adventures, take a soak in the hot tub or kick back on one of the decks to take in the sunset and striking mountain views. Later, gather around the firepit for a starlight s'mores session before heading inside for the evening. Conveniently, each floor of your vacation home features an indoor fireplace, offering ideal spaces to lounge while watching your favorite streaming services on one of the two smart TVs.

Great house, but big brother is watching
Nice house, pretty location. But there are signs everywhere telling you what you can and can't do. And caretaker is across the street. You really kind of feel like you are being watched.

Great ski vacation!
We had a great week at Deer Run Lane! We booked almost a year in advance to ski at Gunstock Mountain. You can't beat the proximity to the mountain! The house is an "upside down house" with the majority of the living space/ kitchen/ etc. on the second floor (two bedrooms up & two bedrooms down). It gets lots of natural sunlight. We were provided with ample towels, toiletries and other supplies which aren't typically provided in a home rental. I booked through VRBO but this property is managed by Vacasa. Had I known I probably could have saved a bit by booking directly with Vacasa. The few times I contacted Vacasa (in advance) it took them a long time to get back to me and didn't seem to be local to NH. Our only feedback would be more/ better instructions on how to operate the hot tub & flue for the fireplace. We would definitely book this home again!
