Services

We have assembled into one printable page a list of important phone numbers for your stay at Mt. Washington Place. We recommend that you print this page and post it in your unit. Add to it your building number from the Site Plan Map (note - this is different than your unit number).

EMERGENCY: 911 - Provide your building number, which is different than your unit number! Your building number is located on a post at the start of the driveway. If you aren't sure, see the Site Plan Map.

TOWN OF CARROLL POLICE: 846-2200, www.carrollpd.org. They are located on Route 3 in Twin Mountain.

BRETTON WOODS SECURITY: 278-8888 or 278-1000. They have keys to your unit. Call them if you have noisy renters next door.

SHUTTLE: 278-2877 - There is complimentary shuttle service from any of the resort outlets (alpine and nordic ski areas, hotel, Fabyans', rec center) to your unit.  Additional on-call 24-h pick-up is available for units that participate in the Omni Rental Program, have membership in the Alpine and Country Club program, or pay an annual shuttle fee ($200). For these units, pick-up privileges are extended to all unit occupants including guests and renters - just give the unit number when calling the shuttle dispatcher. 
 
GREAT NORTH MANAGEMENT COMPANY: Bretton Woods Office: 603-853-3420. This is the default go-to number for any problems that you may have with your unit.

BILLING QUESTIONS: 278-8887 (Laurie) for BWPOA bills such as water/waste. 436-4100 (David/Joyce) for MWP bills such as Association dues.

SNOW AND ICE: Snow is cleared promptly by R&R Clement (driveway, parking) and Howard Hoffman (walkway) after each storm. If you have an urgent need for clearing call Great North at 278-7584. There is a bucket of sand/salt next to your entrance door for you to apply to the walkway in case of ice. If you are in a middle unit, beware that snow will slide off the roof onto your deck and walkway heavily and without warning. Clearing your deck is your responsibility and by Association rules you must not let snow pile up. If you need your deck cleared, call Howard Hoffman at 603-846-5689 (business) or 603-846-2191 (home). 

PROPANE TANK FOR YOUR GRILL: bring your empty tank to Irving gas station just down the hill from you condo, they'll replace it with a full one ($25). Or, your 20# tank can be refilled ($19) on Saturdays at Fosters General Store Route 3 at the junction of Route 302. This is handy for tanks with a quick release connector that cannot be exchanged at Irving.

FURNACE: It is very important that you clean your boiler and install a new thermocouple each year.This reduces the probability of failure during the winter.  Irving Oil has been doing much of the MWP servicing and offers service contracts. We recommend their Platinum Plan. One emergency call out with parts in a year would cover the cost and then some. If your furnace fails in your absence and the temperature in the unit falls below 50oF, low-temperature lights will be activated outside your unit and will be noticed by the resort security on their twice-daily rounds. You will be immediately notified.

HEAT: Thermostats should not be set below 60oF when unit is unoccupied. The two reasons to leave them so high are (1) to prevent freezing in pipes close to external walls, (2) to provide some buffer time in case of power outages. Call Great North at 603-853-3420 if you would like the heat turned up before you arrive (for a fee).

ROSEBROOK RECREATION CENTER: 278-2582, Pool, jacuzzi, steam rooms, racquetball, weight room, games, video rentals, area information. They're open from 7 am to 9 pm seven days a week including holidays. Pool/jacuzzi close at 8:30 pm. Access to the Rec Center is included if you rent from the resort. Others can join the Rec Center on a monthly or daily use basis - call for details.

EMERGENCY PLUMBING, ELECTRICAL, OTHER UNIT PROBLEMS: Call Great North at 603-853-3420 or see our list of recommended local contractors. 

FIREWOOD: Carl Brooks 603-846-5748. Good prices, prompt and excellent service.

SKI AREA: 278-3320

Checklist When Leaving
Some important things to remember when you leave your unit:

FIREPLACE: Make sure that any ashes are cold. Do not remove ashes except in an ashcan. Close the damper (handle in the chimney flue).

WATER: Shut off the water main (handle in the furnace room).

HEAT(November-March): It can get very cold in Bretton Woods in winter, and this calls for the following precautions when leaving your unit. As per the rules and regulations of the MWPCA, you must upon leaving:
  • Set all thermostats at 60 degrees F:
  • Leave open the door from the living room to the mud room;
  • Drain the water from the pipes by opening ground-floor hot and cold water faucets after shutting off the water main.

Internet
Wireless connection in all units is available through the hotel for a charge of $10.99/day. Look for the wireless network "brettonwoods" on your computer and follow the instructions. The connection is not great - it's slow and allows only one login per subscription at a given time. On a long-term basis, a much better option is to get a DSL connection (cable or wireless) through the Bretton Woods Telephone Co. (278-9911) - the  connection is excellent, and the wireless allows unlimited logins. The charge is $50/month, plus (if you want wireless) a one-time charge for router cost and installation of $190. Give them a call and they can set you up within a week.

Trash/Recycling

Bring your trash to the dumpster just behind the Rosebrook Recreation Center. All owners have card keys to access the dumpster area. Although you might see a "recycling area" next to the dumpster there is in fact no recycling program at Bretton Woods for now and the recyclables are just treated as trash. If you're annoyed by this situation you're not the only one. We have been pushing the BWPOA and the Resort for some time to develop a recycling program. In the meantime. you can bring your recyclables to the Town of Carroll Recycling Center at the end of New Straw Rd. in Twin Mountain: go East on 302 to the traffic light in Twin Mountain (5 mi.) and turn right on Route 3 to New Straw Rd on your left (3 mi.). The Recycling Center has limited hours (check the above link). It is also the place to dispose of large items (fridge, TV, gas grill, mattress, etc.) for a nominal fee.

Local Wildlife

One of the joys of Mt. Washington Place is the abundance of wildlife in our midst. Large mammals that you can expect to see on the MWP grounds include foxes, woodchucks, black bears, moose, beavers. Common birds include turkeys, blue jays, woodpeckers, grackles, grosbeaks, chickadees, juncos. For us to live in harmony with our local wildlife some precautions are necessary:

1. Foxes and bears.  A number of them call MWP home. They are beautiful animals and wonderful to observe.  But please keep your distances and don't feed them! They should remain shy. A fox or bear fed by humans immediately becomes a nuisance. If you encounter an overly friendly or aggressive animal please report your encounter to our management company, Great North (603-278-7584). There have been recent reports of rabid foxes in New Hampshire. 

2. Birds. By Association Rules, bird feeders are not allowed from April through October. The birds don't need us during that period, but the real reason for this seasonal ban is bears - there have been many instances of bears climbing on decks to rip off bird feeders and doing substantial damage in the process.
