About this house rental
Perfect house for one or two families to enjoy a peaceful and/or active vacation in the middle of nature and with many amenities. This is a stand alone home with lots of privacy and none of the noise, activity and clutter of the condominiums. You can sleep peacefully without all the noise of condo doors slamming, kids running around yelling, car doors slamming, cars coming and going at all hours, heavy traffic....
Please send any inquiry with questions by clicking Email to right on screen. The house has a flexible layout but we recommend to maximize comfort you limit to 6 adults leaving 2 bedrooms for kids. It is possible to bring inflatable mattresses and sleeping bags but only with advance permission by owner. We understand large houses are difficult to find and even harder to afford - you can exceed these numbers but accommodations may start to feel a little cramped for longer rentals, especially if you aren't out taking advantage of the many outdoor activities or using inflatable beds in the living spaces.
The house is located on a large secluded private lot in a heavily wooded area of the Eastman resort community. It has an open floor plan with two separate living areas, 5 bedrooms (sleeps 11 plus), 3 bathrooms, dining room, sun room, office loft, open deck and covered porch. There are many large windows and skylights providing natural lighting and wooded views. The living area on the main floor features a large stone fireplace giving it a chalet feel and provides a spacious area for socializing, while the second living area on the lower level features a large flat screen tv for gaming/videos, cable provided, a foosball table and gas potbelly stove and is perfect for kids, sports enthusiasts or anyone else who wants to break from the group.
The main floor has one bedroom which has a queen bed (sleeps 2) and is connected to the first floor bathroom. The second floor has two more bedrooms connected by a second bathroom. One bedroom has a full/twin bunk set (sleeps 3) and the other has a queen bed (sleeps 2). The lower level also has two bedrooms, one with a full bed (sleeps 2) and the other with a full bed (sleeps 2). The third bathroom is on the lower level.
Activities:
The natural surroundings provide unlimited opportunity for outdoor activities as well as full-time relaxation.
Eastman’s outdoor activities include an 18-hole golf course, over 17 miles of hiking, snow shoeing and cross country ski trails (also a cross-country/snowshoe center with rentals), a sled hill, ice skating pond, 6 private beaches on the 360 acre lake, canoe/kayak/boat rentals, fishing, 14 tennis courts and a basketball court. Eastman’s new multi-million dollar recreation center features an indoor swimming pool, fitness center with state-of-the art exercise equipment, game room and meeting areas. Additionally, there is a club house with a restaurant and bar (both with outdoor seating weather permitting) and a large banquet room.
The location is also convenient to many other new Hampshire natural and community attractions including downhill skiing (approximately 15 miles to Sunapee mountain, 10 miles to Whaleback mountain and 55 miles to Killington or Okemo), lake Sunapee, Quechee gorge (Vermont’s little grand canyon), many state parks, hiking trails, biking trails (rails to trails and mountain biking), rivers and lakes and many wonderful small towns such as Hanover (Dartmouth college), Lebanon and Woodstock which feature many restaurants, shops, museums and festivals.

Place was perfect for our family
10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2024
The house is located on a private lot, surrounded by tons of trees and as such very private. Being part of a community, one has access to great facilities. The house is spacious with large bedrooms. It is very well maintained and very cozy. Had a great stay.

We had a fantastic stay, even though the reason for the trip was for a funeral. The place was everything we needed, and was the best communication we have ever received from a VRBO host. Thanks, Jim! We look forward to staying with you again.

This property worked out for us for a family reunion over a two week period, but was complicated by the fact that the head count varied over the rental period. The property was clean and the kitchen was adequately equipped. The television service and WiFi connection were excellent. The owner, was readily accessible and was also very cooperative about refunding per-person fees to adjust for variable daily occupancy above the minimum of 5. I would agree with a prior reviewer that the house is a bit tired.
Regarding occupancy: while the owner will allow 14 people, the actual sleeping accommodations are for only 11. We suggest that before booking you read the owner’s expanded description. Dining for more than 6 or 8 is problematic, as the only dining table had 6 chairs, with 2 additional chairs that could be squeezed in around the table. Members of any group beyond 8 would need to eat buffet-style on the living room couches or on the outside, very small deck (in good weather).
Another important thing a future renter needs to understand is the price structure, which is not as straight forward as could be hoped for. For instance, while the base rate included 5 occupants for the entire period regardless of actual occupancy below 5, we listed 7 persons on the VRBO site at booking and were charged an additional $420 host fee for those 2 persons. When we got close to our rental period we found that more family members could come and for a few nights we had as many as 11, causing an extra charge for those days of $180. The owner states that it is recommended that the renter put in the maximum head count for the entire stay (14 max) generating a host fee of $15 per person times the number of rental days for all persons greater than 5. Renters could then request a refund from the owner to adjust on a per-day basis for occupancies lower than that initial estimate. It would be optimal to be able to accurately predict occupancy at the time of booking to avoid this complication.
Frankly, as renters and as vacation property landlords ourselves, we are accustomed to the base price constituting the entire cost for any number of occupants up to the limit the owner sets upon the property and were surprised by the additional host fees, which also included a $100 property fee for some reason.
In order not to be surprised, prospective renters should examine the details of the host fees on the drop-down and contact the owner with any questions.
