| This house was perfect! we have 4 kids and we definitely didn't want to cram all of us in a hotel. Staying at Katies house was just like being at home. We didn't even need to bring a portable crib or high chair. This house was equipped w/ everything you needed, which leaves more room in your car for shopping bags. Whats even better is its so close to everything we came to NH for. We're definitely looking forward to renting from Katie again. Thanks Katie for giving us the space we needed for a large family to spend some well needed family quality time together. |

Great rental property! With six adults and five
children this was the perfect location. Very clean
with enough seating and bedrooms for everyone.
The kitchen was well stocked and the cleaning
person was nice enough to let us in an hour early
because it was pouring out and we had a car full of
hungry/tired kids! Katie was a pleasure to work
with and I would highly recommend this property to
anyone. |

Location, location, location!!! The house was more than what my wife and I were expecting and our two young children (3yr old and 10 month old)loved it. Traveling with little ones is not always easy, but they felt right at home from the moment they walked in the door. The home is very spacious and has evrything you could possibly want and need(games,good book selection,comfortable beds,close to shops and Story Land ......) We're already planning our next stay. Thank you so much Katie for making our getaway comfortable and relaxing.

Great Home. Great Location.
It's every bit as nice as the photos. Very roomy,clean and comfortable. Fully equipped kitchen, wireless internet and all the amenities... including a Sauna!! Two minutes to Cranmore. Three minutes into town.
It snowed 15 inches one night but the driveway and street were plowed before we woke.
We will be back again for summer and winter stays. |

| This house is extremely comfortable. We were a group of 10 adults.We all went for my fiancee's 30th Birthday weekend, and we all had a wonderful time. Great location. Only thing I would change would be to make the check out time a little later..But other than that I would definitely recommend this house..We will be making a return trip in the future. Katie is real easy to deal with. |

Once again, a big thanks is in order for your gracious hospitality.
My family and I were extremely comfortable in your spacious home.
It was outfitted with everything and set in a very peaceful and quiet location.
You can bet you'll be hearing from us again and will not hesitate to send business your way.
THANKS from Portland Firefighter Steve Boucher

| We had a great time. The house fit our needs just fine. Lovely kitchen and living room area. It would be nice to have TV's in a couple of the bedrooms. The area of New Hampshire was beautiful and we had a blast hiking and kayaking in the mountains. Katie, you were a very sweet and receptive host. Thanks so much for the lovely vacation. We sure needed it! |

| We had THE BEST time staying at the Birch Retreat while on vacation in February. This house is the perfect "home away from home"! It had everything we needed and the house is meticulously maintainted. We had so much room to spread out! The beautiful stone fireplace was a HUGE hit! We couldn't imagine staying anywhere else! We're already booking our next trip! Katie was so helpful and a complete joy to work with! |

| This house was very comfortable and very nice in side. I enjoyed the sauna as well as the ping-pong table. The only thing that bothered me was being secluded in the woods, but that is my opinion. I would definitely stay here a again. |

| We are the owners of 11 cottages and a marina in Ontario and came down for a break and to come back to the White Mountians where I have spent many day exploring, hiking and climbing in the 70's. Being "in the business", this is a quality facility that is clean and very well equiped. There were only three of us but this would work very well for larger groups. "A Two Thumbs Up!!" |

| We had three generations (all adults) staying at Birch Retreat for 4 nights. It was roomy and very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped, and the bed in the master bedroom is very comfy. People loved that it was close to hiking in the mountains. There wasn't sufficient snow for good skiing, but we all had a ball. The house Scrabble game was well used! |

We spent a delightful week at Birch Retreat over Christmas. Friends stayed two doors away. Many evenings, all eleven of us gathered in the spacious living area enjoying a fire in the fireplace. We had every kind of electronic entertainment we might need and plenty of room.
The kitchen was well stocked for the holiday meals we prepared. Our group spanned 22 years to 81 and everyone had a good time and felt right at home.
Some of us used the more than adequate gym facilities at Cranmoore and we explored nearby hiking trails. It was our first stay in northern NH and we loved it and hope to return soon.
Katie could not have been more helpful, especially when it came to allowing us to bring and set up our own Christmas tree. Thanks for helping us create a memorable Christmas 2006. |

| Birch Retreat is a great house. Our stay was just for the weekend -- I wished we were staying longer. The house is equipped with everything one needs -- including sheets & towels (a big plus). Kitchen was incredibly well stocked. A truly inviting and warm home. We look forward to staying at Birch Retreat again. |

| If you're looking for a place to get away from it all - this is it! We rented the house from June 24 to July 1, 2006 and had a wonderful time; we would do it again in a heartbeat! The house looked great on the website, but it's even better in person. Our three school-age kids loved the house, too. They had "their own" living room downstairs while we enjoyed the upstairs. The house is so big that often we couldn't even hear them down there! The house is in a wooded area and it feels miles away from civilization but the main strip is actually very close and North Conway has everything you need. Katie was great to deal with. Thanks, Katie - we couldn't have been happier with our stay and will highly recommend the place to anyone! |

| This house is amazing - for peace and quiet up among the trees, a great place to chill - but also close to great things to see and do, shopping, excursions etc. We had a fantastic time (17-24 July 2004). The house has everything you could need for a perfect holiday and Katie is great to deal with. |

| We had a great time in a wonderful house! Two families shared a clean, well-maintained home that was fully equipped with all the things needed for a ski weekend. Great spaces for relaxing, a well-stocked kitchen that made it easy to prepare family-style meals, and proximity to civilization - if you want to seek it out. Our only regret in being truthful about the wonderful experience we had? It might mean the house might get a bit too popular! |

Our family rented this property for the first time this month over the week of July 5th -- the house was beautifully laid out and decorated, clean and bright and had all of the amenities needed for a home away from home. It's located in a perfect location just outside of the busy bustle of the center of North Conway. With our two boys, 6 and 10, in tow, there was plenty of things for them to do -- basketball, ping pong, Playstation, board games, cards, etc. -- it was all available for our use. We would recommend this home to any one looking to get away and relax in North Conway. Katie, the owner, was just a pleasure to communicate with -- she kept in touch any time you had a question whether by phone or email -- it just made everything more personable and easy. We certainly look forward to coming back again and maybe this time in the winter so we can enjoy the beautiful fireplace!

| We stayed in this home both in the winter and spring. It is a wonderful home- clean, spacious, close to skiing, shopping, restaurants, etc..We have stayed at many of the resorts in the area, and have also rented condos. This home offers everything that a family on vacation could need. We have 2 small children, and the house was perfect for them. The layout of the house would be perfect for 2 families sharing a weekend away. Katie was an absolute pleasure to deal with, and was always very prompt in her replies. I would highly reccomend this as a vacation rental. |

The home is spectacular! Very clean, close to EVERYTHING (shopping, mountains, town), full of amenities, kid-friendly, and generously priced. We had more than enough room for 6 adults and 5 babies all under 2 and 1/2 during our week over the New Year's Holiday. We could not have been happier with the home or with the owners.
Thanks so much for allowing us to rent your place.
We shall return!! |
