  Best Things About the Resort:
  It was quite quiet, and we got a great lake view from our balcony, which was great for a fanatic picture-taker like myself. The personnel were very nice and helpful.
  
  Resort Experience:
  

  We went on this vacation a week before the start of the season. We always travel that way since we do not enjoy crowds. Therefore, the resort, and the whole area, was pretty empty.

  As far as the resort goes, you can quickly tell why it is not a crown resort. It is a residential community lacking many of the standard features, like a washer, a dryer, and luxury. Our three-bedroom unit was really a standard three-bedroom apartment. The balcony is set into a wood-paneled wall, which was a nice touch. Unfortunately, the rest of the walls were white and boring.

  Quickly, we realized the unit has been through a lot. Some things are poorly designed (like a thermostat switch behind a mirror in the master bedroom and a kitchen-ceiling lamp cord going through behind a painting). Other minor things are worn out, like window treatments. It also took us a while to figure out how to warm up the place. Really, there were no major problems though, and we enjoyed our stay.

  The personnel was great. Our check-in was smooth, all our questions were answered, and nobody was trying to make us go through a timeshare presentation, as is the case many times.

  Before going, I read a review here at RCI Community that stated the resort does not have a lake view. I did not expect one then. Well, we got it! The resort is on a slope. If you get one of the highest-row buildings and a third-floor unit, you will have a beautiful lake view to wake up to.

The units are well equipped and laid out as well as comfortable. Two couples could share a unit and have a reasonable amount of privacy.

Resort Experience:
Our unit was probably typical (there are slight variations on the floor plan). Immediately upon entry, you encounter the dining table (seats 4... in a small space). The living room is a fair size, with fireplace and TV, but really, it would only seat four as long as no one wanted to sprawl out. There were patio doors with a small balcony off the living area. The kitchen is open concept, looking into the living room with the two bedrooms, each with its own full bath, on each side of it. That meant that there was an excellent buffer between the two sleeping areas. Other observations... you can't see the beach from here and I wouldn't want a first floor unit... the buildings are on a hillside and there is a loss of privacy in the first floor units with some of the windows at ground-level looking out onto walkways. My most vivid memory of walking in was my immediate opening of the patio doors and windows... the place reeked of cigarette smoke... what a pity.

It is a good place for a family vacation, although activities at the resort appear to be a bit sparse and the pool is on the small side. It is possible to walk down to the beach as long as one is prepared to make the walk back up the hill. Weirs Beach itself provides a mooring spot for cruises on the Mount Washington and has the usual tourist traps filled with machines dispensing cotton candy and arcades. The site provides quick access to all of southern New Hampshire . . . an extraordinarily scenic place.
