Great staging location for Mt Washington Hike

A friend and I were looking for a place to stay that was close to Mt Washington. Planned to hike it the next morning, so wanted to be reasonably close for an early start after a good night's rest. Arrived late in the evening. No problem finding the house. Dan's directions were great. Went inside and was amazed at the spendor of the house. Everything was in wonderful condition. Decor was outstanding. Regret that it was only a 1-night stay.
The property location is not far from the main part of town - just a couple of side roads - perhaps 5 minutes away. Very nice location and felt like you were in the middle of nowhere. After settling in, we went into town for dinner. Lots of restaurants, shopping, etc. Be certain for ask for recommendations if you are not from the area. We ate at the 99 restaurant. Food was great.
In the morning, we got a chance to check out the property. Nice layout. Landscaping was very appealing. Large portion of the yard is fenced in. Would be great of pets. Looking forward to staying there again but for a longer stay. Take a few more friends along for a barbeque. The place is set up very nice for that.
The ride to Mt Washington was relatively short - about 20 minutes as I recall. We took the Tuckerman Ravine Trail up and back down. Conditions were icey but not too bad; no snow. Made the summit but it was slow going. Perfect end to the short vacation. Looking forward to repeating the entire experience - hope to stay at the house again ths winter and do some cross-country skiing, and go for a winter hike.
Thank you Dan.
Pete
