Top Hotels Near Echo Lake Beach in Franconia from NZ$116

"The house itself was very cozy and had everything we needed. The first night we were there my daughter-in-law went to give the kids a bath in the basement bathtub and water was backing up in the tub(not pleasant. I checked the utility room and water was long out of the sewerage ejector onto the floor. I called and Nick the property Manager tried to get a plumber but it was Thanksgiving Day and he couldn't get any one. They did come the next day and fixed the problem. Another problem we had was after we loaded everything into the refrigerator, it stopped cooling, so we had to take everything out and load all the food into coolers! The next day we checked the temp of the fridge with a thermometer and it was cooling again at the proper temp. We then went to use the hot tub and there was hardly any water in it. I called Nick again and he came out Saturday and tried to fix the leak but couldn't, so we couldn't use the hot tub! It's too bad because we had these issues because we lived the house! Just disappointed that these issues arose on what was going to be perfect Thanksgiving getaway! Hopefully we get a refund for our troubles! "

"If your looking for room service or spa treatments this is not the place. But if you want an affordable, clean, safe, nostalgic place, this is it,. After talking to the owner she really cares about the area her motel and more important her guests. "

"The house was at a great location. It had plenty of bedrooms to choose from for the 6 of us. Plenty of space to lounge around. It also had a large kitchen table for the 6 of us to sit around to eat and play games."

"Very healthy options"

"We had a perfect stay here. We enjoyed the nice deck, well equipped kitchen, and spacious bedrooms. Location was perfect for exploring the White Mountains in the fall. Would definitely stay here again!"

"The chalet provided our family all that was necessary for an enjoyable two night stay. The location was perfect for what we had planned with the short amount of time that we had there. The only suggestion would be to upgrade the beds as they were not that comfortable."

"our second time staying here. We love the space and mature surrounding. Id most likely stay again due to the natural beauty that surrounds and the was access to the area. We loved the fireplace and house layout. One bathroom becomes an issue at times. The TV (although we didn't watch much, we wanted to watch a game at night is located upstairs in a strange location so we moved it down the the proper space. The furniture is really gross and old. We don't mid but most are grossly stained or broken and the couch in the lost is literally supported by wooden plans. The bed in the loft is placed where a toddler can only sleep, so we moved it a bit. I own 3 rentals on cape cod and it's only appropriate to provide your guest some basic furniture that is fairly comfy and clean. Old time charm is one things but these are terribly out dated and a disservice to people paying money. We brought our own sheets and blanket because I had stayed before and it was necessary. It's one thing to cut corners but these are simple fixes if the owner would put a few bucks into the place. All this being said location is great and we were mostly out. But comfort helps after a long day. One last thing, we spent tons of money on wood. It's best to provide a small amount of wood. The wood provided were basically a tree quartered up. Can't start a fire easily like that. "
