About Lincoln's Loon Mountain Ski Area

Still feeling the heat and not thinking about your Winter Seasonal Rental?

This is a common mistake many make, you see the cost of season passes go up as the winter approaches and the prime inventory of homes and condos disappear early.

The White Mountain Ski resorts, best house will be slim pickings before the fall foliage is ushered in.

Here is a sample of sizes and 6 months rentals for the up coming ski Season.

Rivergreen Resort: One bedroom with Murphy bed two full baths, indoor pool and Ski Shuttle $5,500 (*)

Clearbrook - Village of Loon Mountain/ 3 bd & Loft, Shuttle service, and recreation center $9,000 (*)

South Peak Resort- Slope side ski home location, 3 bedrooms & Garage, shuttle & ski Back $18,000 (*)

Jack O'Lantern resort- Woodstock NH. no Shuttle, but indoor pool. 3bd townhouse $6,600 (*)

(*) All of the above resorts require the tenant to take over all the utilities for the 6 month rental

A pretty good variety of condominiums are still available for the 2009-2010 winter season, the Village of Lincoln features great restaurants, 4 screen movie theater, and a wide range of services, and entertainment. The resorts are in close proximity to all the White mountain winter Attractions, national forest land, hiking snowshoeing, cross- country skiing, snowmobiling, and the 4 largest down hill ski resorts in the state are minutes away.

Book Your reservation early or miss out on the best places.

Offices at Loon Mountain & Waterville Valley resort.

Vacation home owners wishing to make a little money to offset ownership costs take note.

If you are not using a professional rental service (because they keep a large percentage of your income), bare this in mind short term rentals are stupid.

Just this week a fire was averted purely by luck...landlords read this story *PLEASE*.

A White Mountain New Hampshire condo owner booked their place on Craig's list, the tenant is coming from New York city and wants to enjoy a mountain vacation on the edge of the National Forest.

Upon arrival they find there is no grill at the condominium ( this should signal that they are not allowed in a multi-unit setting for fear of fires and insurance requirements) but wanting to "Cook out" for the smallest investment the tenants can make. They decide to Buy a Turkey Tin at the local grocery store, and a bag of charcoal. It never occurs to the tenant that placing a soon to be very hot aluminum object directly on Trex (extruded plastic) decking would be a bad idea.

=

Luckily the melted deck material and cedar wood siding are put out before 8 occupied condos in the building are but a memory. The owner is notified by the property management company...about the incident and the pending fine for allowing "grilling" on the deck (which is strictly prohibited, in the bi-laws). The Owner says, I don't even know these people they are just renters...why should I pay their fine. Explain that argument to the other 7 property owners who missed losing their homes by a heart-beat.

We have a Volunteer fire department here and their motto is "We never Lose the Cellar Hole"...you were lucky this time. Maybe a list of rules posted somewhere could have prevented this near tragedy from happening, or an I.Q. test for renter...might be the next step. PENNY-WISE and POUND-FOOLISH...Assume tenants do stupid things and prepare a list of do's and don'ts...laminate it and mount it permanently.

It's so humid on the East coast this week, no one is very motivated to do much.

Here are my remedies in photos...stay close to water.

These kayaks were having fun while I attempted to putt. (10th hole on the Pemi River)

This blue Heron had the right Idea...Hey get my ball while you're there! (Jack O'Lantern golf resort)

Too Much work to kayak, too hot for golf... I think the old hammock is just the place for me..

I think I need a nap...going to be busy showing properties this weekend, I need my rest.

You know when you show a place and you wished you owned it. Not because it's expensive, or huge, but because it's comfortable and has views you always dreamed about. You know a once in a life time view. This humble center chimney cape with three fireplace and maple floors, is offed for a mere $319,900. The five acre lot is quiet as a peaceful meadow The fruit trees are mature and heirloom gardens amazing and there is not another house in sight. If I were looking for a peaceful get away close to golfing skiing and the river, but I wanted total quiet this would be the place.Take a look at the series of photos taken from the back yard...so Beautiful it looks fake.
