Picturesque, Quaint and Cozy Ski Getaway in the White Mountains

Welcome to Winter Wonderland! As winter settles in, the ski resorts are buzzing with activity. Come and enjoy all that the White Mountains have to offer with a cozy and comfortable stay at The Cottage on the Brook. Perched atop Mill Brook, this beautiful 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers picturesque views and tranquil surroundings. It is also centrally located to all the area’s attractions.

Loon Mountain, Cannon Mountain, and Waterville Valley Resort are all within a 25-minute drive and offer world-class winter sports. Ice Castles, snowmobile rentals, winter zip lining, and off-road tours are all within a 15-20 minute drive. Enjoy a romantic sleigh ride at one of the nearby farms or simply take in the mesmerizing beauty of your backyard – the brook freezes over in the winter and is magical.

If ice fishing is your thing, Squam Lake is 30 minutes away and Lake Winnipesaukee is 45 minutes away. You can enjoy the best of both worlds: the White Mountains and the famous Lakes Region.

Back at the house, cozy up by the fireplace, play board games, build puzzles, enjoy a round of table tennis, or simply relax in the soaking tub.

You and your family or friends can enjoy spacious living across two floors. The first floor features a welcoming foyer that leads into the great room, kitchen, and dining room, all offering picturesque views of the brook. An ample mudroom provides convenient access to the 2 car garage. This floor also includes a half bath with laundry facilities. The primary suite, complete with generous closet space, a full bathroom with a soaking tub and shower, and sliding doors to the deck with lovely brook views, completes the first floor.

The second floor houses two bedrooms, a bathroom with a shower, and a loft with a TV, perfect for hanging out.

Welcome to "The Cottage on the Brook" and create long lasting memories!

Beautiful home, amazing river view, excellent stay!
The Cottage on the Brook is beautifully decorated, and has everything you need. Setting is perfect and the river views are amazing. It was nice to be as secluded as we were, yet close enough to skiing and other activities. Shalaka is great to work with and we look forward to visiting again.

Wonderful place to stay!
Such a wonderful property. It was immaculately clean and plenty of space for our family of 5. The big kids loved playing and fishing in the brook behind the house. Would definitely stay here again! Felt like we were all alone since it’s located at the end of the street.

Quiet and close to town
The cottage had everything we needed, in a beautiful serene location, with a short drive to the Boogie & Blues Festival we were there to attend. Our hosts responded immediately to all questions and requests. I would stay there again, and I recommend it to others.

Great family vacation house
This house had something for everyone in the family. We loved this property. From the gorgeous view (which pictures do not do justice) to the interior layout of the house itself. We could not have been happier with the decision to rent this house

Brook House
The house is in a great and quiet location. It was very clean, spacious and the host is super accommodating. It is a short 20 minute drive to both Loon and Waterville Valley so we enjoyed both while staying there. Everything you need for a great mountain trip is here. The brook out back is just like in the photos and is a beautiful site for your morning coffee. I would highly recommend to other travelers.

Wonderful family weekend
The weather cooperated to make this a pleasant weekend in a quiet and serene section of New Hampshire. The Cottage was very clean and child friendly. Host's instructions were clear and prompt. There are several amusement-type areas up the road in the Lincoln area for our kids, but we didn't not use them as the Cottage presents its own form of family time. If you are looking for a quiet retreat slightly off the beaten path, this is recommended. Oh yes -- the brook. Wow.

Beautiful home
The views from the dining/living area and master bedroom are gorgeous. This home was immaculate, spacious, and comfortable. The kids (12 and 14) loved the air hockey/ping pong table. There was plenty of room to spread out and enjoy privacy to read a book and relax or gather for a meal or to watch TV. Would definitely recommend this lovely home!

This was a dream Vacation for us. We loved the Brooke and rocks to hang out on. The out door flower gardens are so pretty. We made a lot of memories. The living area is very comfortable. The master bath is huge. The kitchen has a smaller refrigerator for drinks if needed. I will and would book again.

Ride, Rest and Unwind.
For the past 30 years, we have traveling to New Hampshire for Laconia Bike week. This is the first time we decided to rent a VRBO. The property was amazing and set in a great location to travel to any destination. Coffee in the morning out back, listening to the brook set the mood for the day. The home has everything you will need to enjoy your time here. Our Thanks to the hosts.

Great Property
The house was well maintained. There was a lot of space which is especially great for the kids. There were a lot of things to keep the kids entertained including an air hockey/ping pong table and a small play/toy room on the second floor. The hosts were very responsive and welcoming. They even left a personalized note and a small basket of treats which was a thoughtful gesture. We will definitely stay here again!!

Great location
Can’t beat the location. The brook is wonderful! The house is very nice, the master bedroom & bath are amazing. This house is probably best for families with children. Upstairs bathroom has small shower stall, isn’t “mature” female-friendly, very difficult to shave your legs in the shower. May work better for a group of males.

Wonderful home!
My family and I had a lovely long weekend at Cottage on the Brook. We rent VRBOs 2-3 times a year and my family agreed this is our new favorite rental. The house was immaculate and had every amenity you could imagine. The brook behind the property was beautiful and capitalized the property. Many thanks to Shalaka who checked in with us over the stay to make sure it was great. IT WAS!!!

This place is awesome!
We booked this house close to Loon Mt so we can ski and snowboard and not stay in a hotel for more relaxation. The ride was very easy to and from the mountain. The house is very clean, very comfortable, greatly equipped with all you may need and had plenty of space for my husband and 2 boys, 12 & 14. We all enjoyed the ping pong/air hockey table! The view off the back was spectacular for us Florida peeps who really only look at flat land. We will definitely book again. Thank you so much to the hosts for their great communication and care.

Perfect weekend
This property checks all the boxes. The house was spacious and clean. Everything labeled for ease of use. Everything is provided, we just brought food and clothing. The location is perfect for exploring the white mountains. And the river view behind the house is to die for. The owners were very responsive when needed and very organized so we didn't need to reach out for anything. It was a perfect stay at a perfect house... Beds were comfy, tv's great and very cozy/comfortable.. Can't say enough.

A delightful place to stay
Our family had a very comfortable stay here. Impressive kitchen and bathrooms and all around clean and inviting. Kids will enjoy the air hockey/ping pong and all will enjoy the brook in the back. It was so refreshing on warm days and listening to it at night made for very pleasant evenings. No complaints at all. The owners were friendly and clearly put a lot of thought and effort into making this property a trouble-free gem. Benton’s Sugar Shack down the street is a must-visit for breakfast and J.L. Sullivan’s pub a few minutes away was excellent for dinner. My family really enjoyed this place and we have brought home lots of great new memories from this absolutely beautiful part of New Hampshire.

Absolutely perfect
Stayed here with 4 friends and we all agreed it was even more beautiful than the pictures. The sound of the rushing brook when we opened the sliding doors for the first time took us all by surprise. Although the house is beautiful inside, most of our time at the property was spent around the firepit. This is a perfect spot for exploring the area. In 4 days we were able to drive the Kancamagus Hwy with hiking stops along the way, visit Flume Gorge, the Lakes Region (apple picking and more hiking), and even drove to the Maine Coast for lobster rolls on our way back to Boston to fly home. Shalaka was great to check on us periodically to see if there was anything we needed, but we were always perfectly happy and had everything we needed and more at the Cottage on the Brook!

Spectacular house and property!
The house was beautiful and had ample room for the 7 of us. The property though is what "puts it over the top"! After a day of running here and there, trying to cram as many activities in as possible, it was wonderful to return to the serenity and privacy of the back yard and simply relax taking in the beauty of the brook and it's numerous waterfalls. During our time there, despite the slightly hectic schedule we enjoyed, we still managed to get into the brook's swimming hole (actually there are two areas right behind the house that are large enough to be "swimming holes") on several occasions. The water was crystal clear and exhilarating to lounge in on the hot days we experienced while there. The property owner, Shalaka, was a joy to deal with. She reached out to us several times during our stay to ensure everything was going well. We'll definitely be "trying" (if the word gets out availability will be limited :) ) to vacation here again!

Fall Get Away
The location and house is perfect for a quiet vacation. Enjoyed the secluded back yard situated on the brook with the waterfall. Fully stocked kitchen for cooking, with the view of the brook. Deer and turkey roamed the yard. Star gazing at night. The house is clean and rooms are quiet with plenty of heat and modern touches. Easy access to main road and attractions.
