About this property

Spacious Mountain Retreat in Bretton Woods, Slope/Notch Views, Huge Kitchen, AC

Welcome to The Kismet House, next to the slopes and nestled among the trees in the heart of the White Mountains.

Located at the end of a quiet street within the Bretton Woods resort community, this three level townhome is the perfect place for a serene stay while also centrally located to take advantage of all the region has to offer. While the ski slopes may be just across the street, there is so much more to explore! Between the central AC in the summer and the cozy fireplace in the winter, you’ll find year-round comfort in the home.

Our goal is to make your stay as relaxing and enjoyable as possible. To that end, we fully stock all the necessities and many extras beyond the typical ‘starter pack’ to minimize an unexpected run to the store so you can truly enjoy your down time. If you do need to get a bit of work in, we have a small desk and reliable WIFI to comfortably work from the home. We also know all too well that traveling with young children can be a challenge so we have a Guava travel crib, Dohm sound machines, OXO high chair, and plenty of toys and books to keep young travelers happy as well.

Perfect In Every Way

The house is beautiful and has every amenity you could possibly think of. We love staying at the townhouses in Bretton Woods as opposed to staying in a hotel. The home is so clean and the hosts were even more amazing.

Weekend Getaway

Perfect location looking up at Bretton Woods ski slopes. Hands down best equipped kitchen we've had in a rental and perfect layout for large family meals. Appreciate the second living space in basement so the kids can have there own play space. Host was very responsive and shared great tips to help with planning our stay. We already booked a return trip during ski season!

Ladies Getaway

We had a great time for our girls weekend! Extremely well stocked kitchen to cook some delicious meals, cozy fireplace and close proximity to restaurants and shops at The Mount Washington Hotel and nearby Bethlehem. The bunk room looked so fun with lots of toys and games so I will definitely be back with my kids next time. A perfect weekend all around!

Impressive Property

I've stayed at MANY properties in Bretton Woods over the years and I can easily say this one tops the list. Spacious, spotless, stocked wildly beyond the typical rental and was perfect for my kids with lots of toys, games and activities. Two minutes from the slopes and we really lucked out amazing early season snow conditions. The owner, Heather, communicated quickly and thoroughly and made sure we felt right at home. We already booked another weekend to come back in February before we even left!

Family Getaway

We enjoyed our time away with our family to hike and see what was left of the fall foliage. This house is impeccably clean and has a lot of amenities such as laundry supplies, full spices in the kitchen, toiletries and overall many extras that were really appreciated. The Little Mt. Deception trail is literally steps from the front door and made for a nice hike with a nice view of Mt. Washington. Our kids loved the bunk room and appreciated all of the toys and books they found downstairs. Wifi was solid, new smart TVs throughout and the Sonos speaker was a nice touch.

About the host

Hosted by Heather Geary

Host profile image
We live on the South Shore of Boston and have been coming to Bretton Woods long before we added three kiddos to the mix. After several years of putting our dream of a place of our own on pause, we purchased this home to ensure we had a spot to make memories with our friends and family for years to come. We named it The Kismet House because sometimes all the stars align and something that seems unlikely suddenly falls into place, as if it were kismet.

Why they chose this property

Bretton Woods is an amazing home base for exploring all that the White Mountains have to offer. We love the convenient access to regional sights and attractions but also the quiet peacefulness of the area which is exactly what we need when it's time to get away. While we initially just spent winters up here skiing, we have now come to appreciate all seasons! We love to ski but we also love the lupines, swimming holes, hiking, biking, camping, amusement parks, ice cream shops (extra love for Super Secret Ice Cream!), waterfalls, leaf peeping, and everything in between. This is where we enjoy all that the White Mountains have to offer, and we invite you here to do the same.

What makes this property unique

When you stay at The Kismet House, our hope is that you are able to fully relax and recharge. We provide all the essentials and lots of extras so you don't have to think about running to the store for supplies or wishing you remembered to pack extra toys for the kids. We know first hand how challenging it can be to travel with young children so we have that covered! The property can comfortably accommodate two families with plenty of room to spread out while also allowing you to experience family meals and special times together. We hope you love and enjoy our home as much as we do!
