Cozy Retreat, Hot tub, Wireless,Close to Kezar Lake, abuts White Mountains

This cozy retreat offers three-bedroom/1.5-bath condo at Evergreen Valley and is in a quiet location and offers a peaceful getaway any time of year. .The home has sliding glass doors leading to the large deck overlooking the woods and babbling brook. Private outdoor hot tub beneath a sky full of stars. A perfect retreat. The condo association welcomes snowmobilers. Ride from the door of the condo to the Maine and New Hampshire trail systems. Snowmobile rentals are available. Enjoy cross-country skiing or use our LL Bean snowshoes to get out and enjoy the winter. We are 30 minutes south of Sunday River. Watch the wildlife including deer, moose, heron, and osprey. Fish in the nearby streams and lakes. Enjoy hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, and golfing. Bring your boat in the summer, and enjoy public access to Kezar Lake, just three miles away. The condo is close to North Conway shopping outlets. This home does have a single doorbell camera at the front door. The camera cannot see the hot tub area and is only used to monitor for safety as needed.


What to do during the summer?: Our condo is for people seeking peace and quiet but it is close to many White Mountain attractions. What can you do during the summer? Swim in the lake, bring your boat or rent one, waterski. Hike the White Mountains, see a moose and her baby. soak in the hot tub during the day and watch a hummingbird hover, soak at night and see a shooting star, canoe. Take the kids to Storyland for a day of fantasy. Take the kids to the Bridgton Drive in for two first run movies on one of three screens, canoe, visit a secluded pond, take a dip, cast a line, catch a fish, dig up an amethyst, read a book, relax.
You can walk to a nearby Deer hill Mineral site and prospect for amethysts.


What to do during the winter?: Snowmobile! Our association is very snowmobile friendly, unload your sled when you arrive and leave it parked at the door. Ride all day and return home to relax in the hot tub all evening. If you have never tried an outdoor hot tub in the winter you are in for a surprise. Wonderfully warm despite below freezing temperatures or falling snow.
Ski! Downhill or Cross country Sunday River, Shawnee Peak, ski areas are within 30 minutes drive. Sunday river is 30 minutes to our north. Shawnee peak has both day and night skiing. Skate on a frozen pond, ice fish. We supply 4 pairs of LL Bean snowshoes for out guests use.
Cook!! Our well appointed kitchen will allow you to cook up a feast. Try your hand at bread making in our bread making machine. There is nothing like warm freshly baked bread. See the photo below of the corn bread my daughter in law made on her first try at using our bread maker. We put a stew in the crock pot, skied Sunday River and came home to the smell of fresh bread and beef stew.
Relax and do nothing but watch the snow fall.

Peaceful retreat in low-key & friendly small community
Clean, comfortable, all the necessities - plus a hot tub! Close to Ebenezer’s (our primary purpose for visiting), clear & helpful check-in, check-out, property, & driving instructions (WiFi is great once you get there, but be prepared for rural phone/5G - the hosts equip you well with instructions, do take them along). We had a couple of short hikes around the property and could have done many more given more time. Great spot - would definitely stay again!

We loved exploring the abandoned ski mountain and old lodge from Evergreen Valley. It added a level of excitement to our stay. We went to Maine to ski at Sunday River. It was about 45 minutes, which was kind of far, but worth it because the property was really cool. It's dated, which we did not mind at all.

Charming home and location!
This sweet and cozy place was our home away from home! The beds were so comfortable, the kitchen has everything you'd need to cook in, shower has excellent water pressure, hosts are attentive if there are any issues or questions. We truly relaxed when we would get back from a daily adventures. The back deck was facing a beautiful wooded area with a path that you can walk and find cool pic opportunities (cool mushrooms, colorful moss, white birches. We even saw a black and white woodpecker! Autumn was in full swing and the colors were illuminated! We will be back! Thank you for the incredible memories 💘🙏

This place is set up for a great hunting four wheeling camping Style vacation. It was a little out of the way for us but we had a wonderful interaction with the owners and have nothing negative to say about their willingness to solve some concerns we had so the remainder of our say was calm and peaceful. Many thanks for them being attentive

Myself being the primary renter of the condo was unable to go but the host was very nice and willing to change the information passing process along to another member of the group. The condo was very well kept and a great stay for the weekend according to my friends. Since they stayed in the winter the most important thing was comfort for them and the condo did not disappoint!

Getaway
We were visiting friends who own a house on Kezar Lake. This property was perfect for us. Great location for all things around the lake. We played a round of disc golf up the street, visited Mt. Washington one afternoon, hiked some local trails and made smores at the the fire pit at the inn. Overall we had everything we needed and plenty of space.

Excellent Value in a Quiet Area
This place is great! We went for summer vacation and had a fun trip away from the hustle and bustle (traffic) of the N Conway side of the park. The chemicals for hot tub were are all there and I had that tub spotless in no time. We enjoyed all the towels and had no problem doing a load in the washer to set up the next party. Caught some fish in the pond down the block on spinners. Couldn’t aske for anything more. Owner is excellent communicator. We’ll be back!!

Deb was a very attentive host, unfortunately, we had changes but she was very understanding and made sure other guests were happy with the stay as my husband and I ended up being unable to stay. The other guests (family of ours) were very happy with the rental and enjoyed their stay.

Stinky bathroom was AWFUL
We got to the condo ... it's in a beautiful location. We opened the front door and were immediately greeted by what smelled like sewage. The main floor bathroom flush doesn't flush properly. It takes 2-3 flushes to get it to go down. The basement bathroom was disgusting and smelled of sewage. I called and left a message for the owner on night one ... no response whatsoever! The only shower was gross with a mildew/soap scum ring around the bottom. There was a long list of rules - clean the kitchen. When we arrived, there was a coffee stain on the counter and the coffee pot needed scrubbing before it could be used. The hot tub was nice and worked properly though there was slime all over the back of the cover on the side which was a bit gross. This condo has very cute bedrooms and lots of linens. The washer and dryer work and are a nice bonus. Overall ... an okay stay but I wouldn't book this again.

We were excited to have a nice place to stay, unfortunately not to be! We got there to find the grill with broken parts didn’t even try to use, hot tub looked like milk, bed is old as *+^•, instructions to operate tv didn’t work. Ended our 2 night stay after 1night. Better luck next time

Beautiful isolated vacation spot
Had such a lovely time staying at Deb’s condo in Maine! Communication and check in were easy and efficient, the place was adorable and spacious, and the hot tub was spectacular. The place is a bit hard to find (especially at night!) but the adventure was half the fun. If you’re looking for to get some isolation and peace, this is the place

It's a crazy drive over some rutted roads, but totally worthwhile. The unit is everything you see pictured, no surprises. It was clean and very homey.

Secluded and comfortable
This condo is a great deal, it's VERY comfortable like you're staying at a friend's house, which is a good thing imo. I felt right at home, as did my boyfriend and my dog. The kitchen is fully stocked with pots and pans and dishes, the bed was firm but pretty comfortable, the hot tub was so great after a day of hiking, and it's got all the perks of being 45 minutes from North Conway but also being super rural and secluded for peace and quiet. I really enjoyed my stay!

Great winter getaway
We loved our 3 nights at this property. The unit, furnishings, appliances, etc. are simple, but its all you need to eat, sleep, hot tub soak, watch tv, surf the internet and connect. There are about 8 condos and we were the only ones there so very peaceful and quiet. The location is at the end of a road 4 miles from the nearest main road so it is very remote and you get the full feeling of being away in the forest. We found many places and trails to go for walks in the woods. There is a nearby Inn where the managers were friendly and let us enjoy the large wood fireplace and game room.

Nice owner, misleading description
Overall this experience taught us to be careful about renting on VRBO. Owners can claim any amenities they want, and the company relies only on reviews to police them. Not sure if we'll do VRBO again, for this reason. For us, discovering there was no working fireplace, in spite of "fireplace" being listed under amenities, was a really big disappointment. The owner was very responsive to communications, including when I lost the key--she got me a spare within minutes. The property was clean, though very dated, with a 70s era condo aesthetic. It did feel fairly private despite being surrounded by other condos, because no one else was staying in the other condos. I would imagine it would be less private during more popular times of the year (we stayed in the week between Christmas and New year). We enjoyed the hot tub and didn't find the instructions around adding chemicals to be too onerous. It was nice sitting in the hot tub and looking at the stars on the deck. On a clear night, it'd be nice to have a telescope because there's basically no light pollution. My spouse and I could handle it, but some people may have difficulty with the lid of the hot tub. It's pretty heavy and awkward to take off. There are hills all around, so it'd be great for sledding, though we weren't lucky enough to get snow. If you have a dog you want to bring, be warned that you'll have to keep it off the furniture and beds or bring blankets to cover everything (that's what we did). That's good news, if you're allergic to dogs. The kitchen does have pots and pans and dishes. They aren't great quality (flaking teflon, dented bottoms), so if you're cooking and particular, you may want to bring your own. But the biggest disappointment was the fireplace. We all really wanted a fireplace, so the fact that the property description included "fireplace" on its list of amenities is the main reason we chose this place. We didn't learn that the fireplace wasn't functional until after the no cancellation date had passed. I brought it up with the owner and she said that she put in the notes (not visible on my mobile app) that she has an "electric fireplace." To me, this is beside the point. First, renters shouldn't have to search the fine print to verify the amenities are really there. Second, it is disingenuous for her to claim a fireplace as an amenity at all. She DOES NOT have a place that people can build fired in, so she shouldn't include "fireplace" under amenities.
