| We are abig family, and the lodge fit us perfectly. The rooms were all a good fit, and the rest of the facility provided a lot of space for activities. The proximity to North Conway and the local ski areas made it a great weekend for us. |

I found this house online and thought it would be a
wonderful retreat for a group of colleagues over
Thanksgiving break. We are a group of younger
teachers at a boarding school who love the
outdoors. North Conway provided a wonderful
setting to ski, hike, and shop, and the house had
plenty of space for 12 of us (there was room for
more!). The fireplaces provided wonderful
atmosphere and the pool table, air hockey and
foosball table were in constant use. We took
advantage of the sauna, and off the back porch
there is even a babbling brook to complete the
package. The host is easy to get in touch with and
quite accommodating. Thanks for everything Katie. |

My friends and I have been going to N Conway to spend a weekend together for several years, our lives are so busy, we don't get together often, the group has been getting bigger with everyone getting married, we needed to find a bigger place, and this home was perfect, it was roomy and very welcoming, it pleased everyone,the different games were a great added bonus, specially since it was cold and rainy no one was bored ! , we will definitely rent again in the near future .

| My large family stayed in this lodge at the beginning of October. We had such a great time and everyone absolutely loved the place. The layout is exceptional. With the open floor plan, many people were able to sit in the living room and any overflow was able to sit at tables close by so everyone was able to partake in conversations. The games also got a lot of use and were very fun. There were plenty of bedrooms. The lodge very clean. The neighborhood was also great. Great Area. |

| My brothers chose this place to have a quite 70th birthday for my mother. They couldn't have chosen a better house. The game room was great for the kids and adults. There was plenty of seating for everyone at meals. My wife enjoyed shopping at North Conway that's really close by. I would recommend this lodge to anyone for a group/family function. |

| As first time renters, my friends and I found staying at Pine Brook Lodge a wonderful experience. Dealing with Katie was a pleasure. She is very accommodating, and although my group is comprised of young adults attending college, she treated us with respect, and of course we reciprocated. The house itself has so much to offer. Katie has outfitted it to meet your every need. We were pleasantly surprised to find everything from aluminum foil to electronics provided to make our stay carefree. The information she gave us in advance enabled us to prepare accordingly when packing for our stay. The house and decor were awesome and we enjoyed its spaciousness. We found the location to be great with activities and stores nearby. Everyone had a great time and we look forward to staying again in the future! Thanks so much, Katie! |

| What a great house in a great area. Perfect for a large group! We had a family reunion of sorts for a wedding and everyone had a wonderful time. The kitchen is great and very well equipped. Love that everyone can eat meals together! Also, plenty of bathrooms for a large group! Everyone enjoyed the game rooms and the close location to town! Thanks so much! We'd love to rent again! |

| We had a wonderful time in your house and loved that it was so close to town. Our four families (18 people) fit comfortably and there was plenty to do-the children enjoyed the yard and the brook, while the grown men had fun with the exercise room, pool table, sauna, etc...It was nice having so many bathrooms and the amenities of a dishwasher, washing machine, dryer, dvd player, etc... right on site. The two tables made dining together easy too. Overall, a great time! |

| This was the best vacation home my large extended family has ever rented. The house had everything you could ask for from blenders to baby gates and everything in between. It was great having a front yard to allow the kids to burn off some of their energy. The location was so convenient to downtown North Conway that if we were ambitious enough, we could have walked there. The best part of the house was having 2 tables that would allow 16 people to eat meals together rather then in shifts. I would highly recommend this house to others looking for a large rental house that has everything needed for a great vacation. Thanx Katie!! |

It's very clean and offers all that you need for a fun and relaxing trip. You really were the best owner that I've ever interacted with...thanks for your cooperation! |

First off, if you don't like clean, spacious, fun, vacation homes this is not your place. All kidding aside, we had a wonderful time at this vacation home. If you have some friends and family that get on your nerves a little during vacation there is plenty of room to hide. If your friends and family are competitive people, there are surly enough things to do in the house to keep your competitive juices flowing. ( pool, air hockey, darts, fooz ball ). I won a lot of soft serve ice creams last week. One thing we did to have fun was play 5 on 5 wiffle ball games in the big front yard. Another great thing I did was try to get my wife mad at me so she would kick me out of the house for the day. Why you ask, so I could take advantage of the great outdoor activates like GOLF, hiking and swimming the Saco river. Everything is just a stones throw away. Don't get me wrong folks, but my wife likes to do the same to me so she can shop the many outlets about 3 miles away. Every time I get her mad, the hand comes out $$$$$$$$ and there is one more outfit hanging in the closet to take home. I think she set a record this week !
You don't have to bring anything with you when it come to house hold items,. The house is very well equipped for your whole stay.
The house I found to be very clean. The owner you can tell has a lot of pride in her house, and it shows. I have stayed all over North Conway over the past 8 years, and this house is by far the best place I have ever stayed. At one point we had 7 kids and 6 adults and there was still more room for that annoying friend or family member. |

Our big families (7 families) enjoyed our memorial weekend stay in pine brook lodge.
The house is so cozy, homey and fun. Katie thought of everything, even the unpredictable weather. The house is sure full of activities and so much fun. Kids (from 3 to 8years) and adults all love the pool and air hockey game. Wives hardly pull them away from the games even close to the mid-of night. The little brook back of the house just creates the mountain peaceful and natural atmosphere. For us who have been in the city all the time, a pine brook lodge is the perfect place to close to the nature while enjoying the home atmosphere.
Our big guys (husbands) love to hang out on the deck with beers and barbecues…
We definitely will come back if we do autumn vacation. I bet the autumn season wills the most beautiful period to visit the area.
The link below is a site that loaded picture we took around area. Please enjoy.
Thanks Katie. We had a great time in pine brook lodge. We strongly recommend the place for your vacation stay.

| We really enjoyed our stay at Pinebrook Lodge last week. Your place is very homey. The kitchen is just beautiful. The kids really enjoyed the brook in the back and the pool over at Mt Cranmore. We'll definitely consider renting one of your other places for our trip to Storyland this summer!!! |

Our whole family, three generations from six months
to 65 years old, enjoyed a winter retreat at Pine Brook
Lodge this winter. There was something for everyone
both at the lodge and in North Conway. We played
pool, darts, enjoyed the sauna, skied, ice skated,
shopped, ate, talked, laughed. We all had such a great
time. |

Our first Christmas in many years where all our children and their families got together from all over the USA. There was 13 in all and everyone fit beautiful. We had a wonderful time and everyone would like to do it again next year. We had no problems and loved all the things to keep everyone busy. The tips for visitors in the area were very helpful. Thanks for making this a wonderful Christmas vacation for us all. See you next year!

Katie,
We had a fabulous weekend at your place.
There were 20 of us in total (9 children under the age of 3; 2 teenagers and 9 adults). The house accomodated all of us comfortably. There were plenty of beds for all and no shortage of bathrooms. We lucked out with a nice Fall weekend for our 1st annual weekend away as a family. We have many special memories at your house. Thank you very much for a very complete list of everything it had to offer and all of the tips about "things to do" in the area.

Katie,
Joan and I had all our children from different parts of the US together at your home. We all had a great time. There was enough room, it was clean and the kitchen was great as all took turns making dinner. Your home is close to all the activities my family enjoys, hiking, climbing, swimming, running and going out at night as a group. I recommend your home to anyone with a large group or family. No one really wanted to leave vacation (or each other) we had such a great time!! Again, great home, well maintained and clean. Thanks for having us.

We have been going to North Conway for 18 years for a Golf outing and have never stayed in such a well appointed and spacious house as the Pine Brook Inn. The amenities were wonderful, modern and well maintained. The location was convenient close to several golf courses and fun to be in!
Great vacation house for twelve guys that appreciate quality. |

| We just got back from an enjoyable week of skiing and relaxing at your home. The house had plenty of room for our extended family group and we kept busy in the kitchen all week. Only drawback for us is that sounds travel from the basement family room up the open stairwell at night, which is tricky if there is a wide range of ages with different bedtimes or light sleepers. Everyone enjoyed themselves thoroughly all the same and the No. Conway area is full of fun activities! |

| What a terrific home! We LOVED everything about it. Aside from having everything we could need, it was clean, spacious, and close to many fun things to do. Mt. Cranmore was literally right around the corner and Attitash was only 15 minutes away. Shopping in quaint North Conway was a delight and was only three minutes away. We didn't make it to the outlets, but they were nearby as well. All in all we had a FABULOUS time. We'll be back :) |

| We absolutely loved this house, and we plan on coming back every year. I have a very large family who likes to vacation together. This house couldnt have been more perfect. Plenty of space for the 15 of us, child friendly, everything you could possibly need. It has the luxury of a hotel with towels , sheets, TP etc but the comfort of a home. We have been renting from Katie now for 3 years, we rented her other home in conway as well. Weve been vacationing in conway for over 20 years and finally found a place that is perfect!! |

| This vacation house was the perfect rental for our large group. We had 9 adults and 2 two year olds. There was so much space in this house that you could actually have time to yourself if you wanted it. There were plenty of bedrooms and no one ever fought for a bathroom.We really enjoyed the pool table and darts. The kids enjoyed playing in the fenced in front yard and went "fishing" in the brook. It was definitely a child friendly house which we really appreciated. The location was great with quick access to the village, outlets, Echo Lake and Storyland. Communication with Katie was great and we look forward to renting this house again next year. |

| We stayed in the house over Columbus weekend and had a wonderful time. Everything in the house was exactly as stated in the website. It was extremely clean and well taken care of. The directions were perfect and the the planning from start to finish was hassle-free. I would definitely recommend this place to large families as there are plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. The game room gave the kids something to do and made the trip for the adults more relaxing. Wonderful house and location. Thanks for the opportunity to rent it! |

| The pictures don't really do the house justice. The rooms are nice and the space is well-designed. Everything from the kitchen appliances to the game tables are in like-new condition. There is an ample supply of pots, pans and dishes and two well-stocked grocery stores in the area. There's a nice hiking trail that literally starts across the street, and there's a video store just down the hill (about 10-15 minutes' walk). We had eight people in our group, but there be room for literally twice that before things even started to feel crowded. There is plenty of available activity in the area--canoe and kayak rental in summer/spring/fall, and skiing in the wintertime, all within a few minutes' drive. I'd strongly recommend Pine Brook Lodge for any vacationing group or family. |

Hi Katie,
We had such a great week in the house. Our group was large, 11 adults, a 10 year old, and 4 under 4 years old. But the house fit us all comfortably and even had enough room to allow the toddlers to nap in separate rooms in the afternoons.
We found the house full of everything we could possibly use. There were two sets of dishes, two sets of silverware, and every type of pan or utensil that we needed. One of my sisters rents a house each summer and has a "summer kit" that she brings to every house she rents. It contains things like salt and pepper, can openers, spatulas, laundry detergent.... Her kit wasn't needed at this house.
We also found the house convenient to all sorts of activities: the Conway train, hiking in the White Mountains, Storyland for the kids, outlet shopping, swimming at Echo Lake SP, biking, walking and window shopping in the village.... Great week. Thanks, Katie! |
