Great Stay
We stayed here to attend a wedding at the Inn at Whitney's Farm. This was an ideal location, easily walkable to the ceremony and reception (even in dress shoes!). There was plenty of room for our whole family. 1+ bedrooms on the main level, and 2 bedrooms + a bunk room downstairs. We enjoyed the outside yard for games and the beautiful stream. It's very close to Jackson Falls and other great hikes/outdoor activities. The host's communication was outstanding, we hope to get back to visit again.

It was a pleasure staying in Heather’s Jackson home. Everything was very clean and the instructions provided were clear. We hit a few unseasonably hot days and the downstairs rooms remained cool no matter what. The location was a good base for our exploration of the White Mountains.

Loved it
Had a great stay. The place was super clean, with all the mountainside, winter getaway, charms and quirks we were looking for. Lots of space, great location in the hills of Jackson, right at the foot of Black Mountain, walkable to the ski area. Shovel Handle Pub down the street was also excellent! Would stay here again in a heartbeat, would like to try it in the Summer too.

Ski Vacation
The property was fantastic. It was exceptionally clean and as advertised . It has great space for socializing but also provides many small spaces for people to getaway and catchup on work or read a book. The home is on a brook and the flow and sound of water was an added bonus.

Jackson stay
Convenient location, friendly and helpful owners are easy to communicate with. Main living/kitchen space is pretty tight for more than 3-4 adults but plenty of bedroom space. Lock on front door is a little tricky - easy to lock yourself out if not careful to check the lock before shutting the door.

Great Location
The house is cute and in a good location, it is close to the road so if you have kids/dogs just be aware of that. Also there are no smart TV's so no ability to watch streaming...which can also be hard with a family and kids.

Excellent place for families!
It was wonderful! We loved the house layout, the door at the top of the stairs, the property, and the back deck. My kids enjoyed making up new songs on the piano, I loved the aesthetic of the door handles, and we greatly appreciated how many extra kitchen items there were so we didn't have to wash dishes after every meal. All the extra linens were also appreciated though thankfully we didn't need to use them. Can't wait to come back again!

Family Paradise in the White Mountains
This lovely house in Jackson was perfect for our family. We felt transported back to our favorite childhood memories of ski vacations! The kitchen and dining area is perfect for cooking family meals and the kid's room with bunk beds and VHS library is great for the kiddos to unwind after a hard day on the mountain. The proximity to Black Mountain and the shovel handle pub made it so convenient for us to walk home and go out on foot without needing a car. We can't wait for the next trip!

We had a great stay at Heather’s lovely home! There was ample space for the five of us and we loved the well-stocked kitchen, linens, and towels. The kids had so much fun exploring the stream in the backyard as well as playing volleyball and badminton. We all loved watching the beautiful horses across the street through the big front window. The location is convenient to everything we wanted to do and Heather was so sweet in providing great suggestions of kid-friendly activities in the area. We would definitely stay here again!

Great base for the White Mountains
We enjoyed our stay at this property. It’s in a peaceful location that is still close to restaurants and attractions. It was fun to see the horses across the street, and the sound of the brook in the backyard was soothing. It is a good amount of space to spread out. The only drawback for me were that there was a film on the back windows of the main living space that has a mirrored effect, so we couldn’t really enjoy the view of the woods and the brook. Minor overall, and we would definitely love to come back some time!

Wonderful experience, very nice place to stay
We enjoyed our stay, a nice get-away coming up from Philly. The house layout was great and well accommodated all of us (4 adults and 2 dogs) -- plenty room for larger groups too. House was well stocked as far as beddings, bath/towels, kitchen, etc. Owners arrival instructions were clear and helpful and enabled us to acclimate quickly and comfortably. Open layout kitchen/dining/living area was great social place for cooking, eating, reading, conversation, and games. The piano was a nice surprise too, added a nice element to our stay (several players in our party, well worn upright but fun to play all the same). Really enjoyed the backyard and brook, also took walks from the house on the roads, a nice 2-3 mile loop depending on which turns we took. We enjoyed the country store in Jackson, shopping and dining in North Conway, and multiple trips to the top of Mt Washington. We're grateful to have had such a wonderful experience!

About the host

Hosted by Heather Johnson

Host profile image
Our parents bought this land, designed and built this home in 1968-1969. We commuted to Jackson from Marblehead, MA almost every weekend during ski season and spent many summers here growing up. Our family moved here in 1977 full time and built on a large addition with extra bedrooms and deck. Our first time skiing was across the street at Black Mountain- at age 3. Actually 3 generations of family have grown up skiing at Black Mt. We learned to love swimming in the ice cold rivers and found some great swimming holes to visit. Now many years later, we call this our 2nd home/part-time rental. In 2011-2012 this house underwent a complete top-to-bottom rehab with all new paint, carpet, lighting, flooring, appliances, furniture and more. We've continuously updated and improved the home over the years. We ski, hike, walk, swim, eat out and see friends in and around the Jackson area. It's a place we love to come to for fun and relaxing and are sad when we have to leave.
We love hosting families who want to get outside and enjoy this beautiful area and want a clean, cozy home to retreat to after a big day out in the mountains.

Why they chose this property

3 words- LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION....
Where can you find a comfortable clean house in a great mountain location with a brook in the back yard, Black Mountain views out the front yard, and walking distance to a great local restaurant called Shovel Handle Pub? This is the place!

What makes this property unique

If your 'to do' list is long, then you might find that the fresh country air is what you need to relax and rejuvenate. Kick back on the deck or watch the day go by from the Adirondack chairs and see how fun it is 'to do' nothing! Don't be surprised if you sleep like a log. The babbling brook will lull you to sleep.
