Comfy and Homey
The property was comfy and spacious. Felt like a home away from home. Our host was quick to respond to questions and had a wonderful personality that shown through text. Close to many local area shops and eating places. We will definitely consider staying here again next time we are on town!

Tranquil Retreat
An enjoyable vacation in a very nice property in the cool pines. The condo was clean, comfortable and roomy plus had everything needed to make this a true home-away-from-home experience. It is as pictured. Check-in/out was a breeze. The owner quickly responded to a minor problem and was always patient and kind. The Lazy Squirrel is a great place to stay! Thank you for sharing it with us.

About the host

Hosted by Cody & Lacey Karns

Host profile image
Pinetop has a special spot in our hearts, as we were recently married at The Gathering Place in the Summer of 2016. We love spending time with our friends & family and have a mutual passion for outdoor activities!

Why they chose this property

Pinetop has it all!!! Just being here and breathing in the clean air is enough to satisfy your soul, let alone the endless recreational fun that surrounds you. Anytime we visit Pinetop we leave with a smile on our faces and a warmth in our hearts!

What makes this property unique

We love how comfortable and warming this unit is, you feel right at home the moment you enter.

We like the open layout, split floorplan, and privacy. The space is very comfortable and accommodating for those lazy, relaxing days in the White Mountains. We also love the location, we are close to all the fun (golfing, casino, bars & restaurants, etc...). It's very nice to have the option to eat out at a variety of delicious restaurants or stay in and cook dinner. Being an upstairs unit, you have complete privacy when you're on the back patio and the view is not of another patio, but of the beautiful common ground area which also adds to the privacy you crave in this atmosphere. Also, because it's upstairs you have the vaulted ceilings, which makes the space seem bigger and more open.

Everything is labeled, creating a very user-friendly stay.
