Bridal Veil Lodge - Franconia, NH

The house was very spacious and clean. We loved the deck area at night

We book vacations in New England very frequently and rent homes for our stay with 8-10 people. This house was great and had a lot of amazing features. The wrap around porch in the back, 4 bedrooms and 2 extra den rooms that our kids really loved. Kitchen is fully equipped as well. There's a lockbox at the main door that made things so convenient. SO MANY amazing things to do just 10-20 mins away. Grocery stores are 20 mins away. Vacasa contact rep was on text for anything we needed.

There were a few things that I do want to mention as it can be a dealbreaker for some folks. The house had NO AC. There's a fan at the entrance but the switches didn't turn it on. Not that it would have helped cool either as it was away from the sitting area. We stayed in June (this past weekend) and the temps were only in 80s and it was quite unbearable to be inside. It was hot, humid and muggy and we ended up going to Echo lake to cool off. It stayed quite hot at night as well. One of the Nest thermostats had the cool option that we turned on and it didn't work. Next day the Cool option disappeared from the thermostat altogether. The coffee mugs in the kitchen with the hand painted roosters on it ARE NOT MICROWAVE safe. We burnt our hands when we heated water up for some tea for just 60 secs. The mug was too hot to handle and the water inside had not even heated up.

Nice family get out and getaway from city lights

Very interesting house! Quirky multi level layout. Awesome back deck! Room for 10+ people!! Interesting location behind Mittersal Resort.

Only minor “complaints” were the furnishings are a bit dated. The gas grill hasn’t been cleaned this millennium. We had quite a fire when we tried to use it!!

This house was very big, in a convinient location and the amenities like the wrap around deck and grill were perfect for family dinners. Very happy with our trip can't wait to return!
