The Gecko Inn – Shopping, Santas Village, Skiing, Hot Tub, hikes, families, petsA perfect central location for your White Mountain Valley Vacation. The Gecko Inn has a long tradition, 17+ years, of renting to 1 or 2 families looking for a peaceful location with mountain views yet only 20 minutes to Storyland, 10 minutes to Cranmore Mountain and Adventure Park and an easy drive to all North Conway amenities. Our home is located at the end of a cul-de-sac in the quiet Birch Hill development. This home used to be listing #22036 with 51 positive reviews before we purchased it from the previous owners in 2016. We are friends who rented from them every year and are excited to continue the same traditions to you. Whether you are coming to Ski, Hike, Tube the Saco River, Shop at the North Conway outlets, or relax by the fireplace or in the hot tub, The Gecko Inn is small enough for one family yet spacious enough for two families to enjoy.
