Disappointed
The cleanliness to this property was less than acceptable. Food and dirty undergarments left under a bed. Dirt and dust everywhere. Coffee grinds in coffee pot. Grease and dust on appliances. Was in immediate contact w property management who said someone would come and clean but no one came. Furniture stains are dishusting. Falsely advertising fire pit in the description title but you canāt use it. You donāt know this until You arrive to see you need a permit. When you check out you get a notice that the fire pit is for owners only. Never mentioned anywhere in Our contracts or on the site. Hot tub was not working and appears it has been that way for awhile based on reviews. That was mentioned on the listings.although it sleeps 12, Living area and Kitchen area doesnāt accommodate Seating for more than 6 people.
It is a shame that the cleanliness and listing was misleading because the layout was good and house well stocked for what you need. Nice quiet neighborhood close to everything and all attractions.

Great weekend trip!
Overall this property was great! We loved the hot tub and were very happy with the space! We did see quite a few ants and spiders in the house, but that was the only complaint we had. The management team was very responsive to any messages I sent them and even offered early check-in. I would definitely stay here again!

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!

Weekend Getaway
The house was great. We appreciated that they reached out to let us know we could check in early. The only issue was they did not have supplies, for example: garbage bags, cleaners to clean up after yourself. We were disappointed the hot tub didnāt work as it was one of the reasons we had chosen the property, but they did alert us to this prior to our stay. Other than that, very nice comfortable, clean and roomy house. And very close to Gunstock.

Very Nice Property
This home is nice and accommodates 10 people well. Two sets of towels were included for each person for shower and hot tub use. Patios were nice and kitchen was well stocked with large dishware. There was only one couch in the main living area which was a bit tight but otherwise it was good. Very close to Mount Major. Bedding and linens were nice and bathrooms were clean and had good showers. Would recommend.

Great for a short get-away
My family of three (plus a great-uncle) with dog choose this house for a short get-away near Lake Winnipesaukee. The house is true to its pictures: Nicely updated and very clean and comfortable. The main bedroom bed was heavenly. It was the perfect size for the four of us. Hot tub was a great feature. We also used the fire pit to make smores. The yard was just ok. On the second day we discovered that one of the steps on the deck was broken. We contacted management and they responded right away saying they would contact the local crew to fix it, but we were gone before we saw it fixed. The house is in a nice location to do things around the lake, but you will need a car! Ellacoya Barn and Grill was a great place nearby to get a meal. Overall, we enjoyed our visit.
