My new favorite place to relax

I really have a dilemma here. I can either tell you that the house is awful or tell the truth about how wonderful it is and risk having the house book up and not be able to stay without booking way in advance. I worry because I have looked at and rented houses before that tell you how great they are and in fact they are NOTHING like the pictures describe. This is not the case with the Hathaway house. The house is beautiful! The rooms are awesome and I love everything about the house and wish that is was mine. We were very fortunate this year to be able to stay at Hathaway House twice. The first time was for a week in August. My husband and I went up with a few people to celebrate our anniversary. The second time was in October for some wonderful leaf peeping with 20 people ranging in age from 3 to 75. I would just like to say that we had a wonderful time! It was nice to stroll the streets in Littleton for the afternoon, bring the children to Santa's Village, the huge meals we prepared in that awesome kitchen, driving to Errol to look for moose and all the nights we spent outside at the fire pit sharing stories.
We were very lucky that we were able to bring my blind grandmother on vacation with us. The house is set up with a ramp and a downstairs bedroom with a huge walk in shower. It was perfect for her and she was even able to go out to the fire with us. The children had a great time playing ping-pong, hide and seek, playing with all the board games, tag, watching movies, and spending time with their cousins. The house was so huge that they could play hide and seek all day. My 3 year old enjoyed running up and down the ramp for hours with the broom behind her. Luckily John and Laurie left tons of candy in the candy jars so that she had tons of energy to burn off.
If you want to take a vacation for some time to relax and spend some quality time with friends and family...this is the place to go. We are in the process of setting up our third visit for next summer! Thanks so much John and Laurie for the great memories!

Owner's Response: My wife and I would like to thank Cassandra and her family for choosing to stay with us and for being our first "repeaters". It is so nice to have a group that appreciates and treats our home as if it were their own. We look forward to seeing them again in the future.
