I would start by saying that the outdoor space was just wonderful. The deck with Adirondack chairs and new grill and table with umbrella were perfect for coffee in the morning and meals in the evening. The pond was tranquil and lovely, and David had many ways for us to enjoy it: two kayaks, a canoe and best of all, a paddle boat, which our teenage grandsons enjoyed so much. The final plus was the raft about 100 yards out which they paddled to and enjoyed sunning and swimming and reading and jumping off. We canoed and kayaked and paddleboated all over that pond and we were very fortunate to have great weather. Also, the beach area at the house is very nice, with chaise lounges and tables as well as a nice outdoor fire pit/stove, where we cooked hotdogs and had s’mores a couple of nights. Make sure to bring bug spray as the mosquitoes do come out at dark!
The more disappointing part was the interior of the cabin. We love rustic, but it was small, a bit grimy and many things were old and worn out. It was quite dark inside and the kitchen was poorly laid out and was missing dishware. The basement had a strong smell of room fresheners but it was a great space for playing poker, foosball and board games. The living room is very small because of the large woodstove, really only comfortably seating three people.
There were so many things to do in Conway that we spent very little time in the cabin. We used the escape rooms at Mystery New Hampshire, we kayaked down the Saco river, we took the Mount Washington cog railway up the mountain, we walked all around North Conway shops and we also had a wonderful visit out at Diana‘s Baths early one morning. We really enjoyed Banners restaurant for breakfast.
Thank you for a wonderful holiday with our teenage grandsons!
