Freeland Acres

Eric W Concord NH
Review Submitted: August 26, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
This was the second time we have stayed at Freeland Acres and it will not be the last. The house is as described, clean, comfortable and well maintained. We had eight in our group and were very comfortable. Great views of the mountains from the front porch and it was nice to have the spacious lawn for the kids (and adults, too). Nice stream down the road with a great swimming hole and lovely neighbors selling fresh eggs and veggies and giving out tips on the locality. The owners have had the property for a good number of years and there is obvious pride in it and as well as an obvious desire to see that we were happy. Highly recommended.
Owner's Response: Thanks, Eric, you were great guests and we enjoyed having you in our home. We hope that you return next year!
Best Wishes,
Carole

Great place to be!

Lynn and T LaGrangeville, NY
Review Submitted: October 9, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
This was a last minute vacation for us so we were surprised to find such a gem! The house could not have been more perfect even if we had taken months to look. It was well maintained, had all the amenities and tastefully decorated. We sat on the front porch overlooking Mt. Kinsman and watched the full moon rising. Wild turkeys even came into the yard one morning. The house was convenient to Franconia Notch for hiking and fishing. This is the place you want to be!

A great time in the mountains of NH

Bitz Exton, Pa
Review Submitted: August 13, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We have stayed in Franconia about 15 times in the past 30 years, and this was the first time that we rented Freedland Acres. To us, Franconia and the White Mountains is the perfect place to beat the summer heat and find a little adventure. We even saw a bear down the road and moose tracks on the road side just past the front yard!!!
As far as the house, it was even more comfortable, roomy and "charming" then advertised and everything was in perfect working order. We had 5 adults/children in our group (house will comfortable fit 7-8 with no problem) and we all had plenty of room to gather or to be in private. I would definitely consider staying here again and I highly recommend this property to anyone who wants to enjoy all the things that the mountain region has to offer. A jewel of a find for our family and we plan on coming back. Thanks Carol for providing such nice accommodations.

GREAT VACATION IN WHITE MOUNTAINS!

Charlotte and Michael Las Vegas, Nevada
Review Submitted: July 19, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We found this vacation rental to be everything that we could have hoped for. The home was so very inviting and clean the moment we arrived - just like the web pictures! It was great to sit and drink our morning coffee or evening drinks on the porch relaxing and enjoying the view of the mountains. Would definitely recommend this as wonderful vacation spot!

My family fell in love with Freeland Acres

Barb and Carl and family East Woodstock. CT
Review Submitted: July 5, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
Home away from home! This is what we felt when we stayed at Freeland Acres. Carole and Joan were very attentive from the start, e-mailing and calling to make sure everything was OK. When we arrived we enjoyed exploring the house and grounds. Everything was so well taken care of down to the freshly set dinner table with fresh flowers! And I must mention how clean it was. We really enjoyed watching the mountain views from the front porch, it was so relaxing and peaceful. The location is perfect, away from the hustle and bustle yet close enough to everything. We really enjoy cooking, so after hiking and biking all day we would fire up the grill (beautiful assortment of plates and bowls etc) then settle into a great nite sleep in the comfy beds. The drinking water tasted great, we drink a lot of water so that is always a concern :=) Even though the weather wasn't perfect we didn't want to leave! We will definitely go back. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us.
