This is a beautiful property - impeccably clean, well-designed, and stocked with everything you need. The layout of the main house is fantastic, with ample space for everyone to be together or in separate areas. The kids loved what we came to call the "playroom," and thoroughly enjoyed the games, arcade, and mini putting green. My favorite part was the back patio and firepit area. The bunkhouse was great extra space as well. Our family had a magical time at this property. The hosts were fantastic - they had excellent communication with us before, during, and after. It was clear they genuinely want their guests to have a top-notch experience. We'd go back in a heartbeat, and hope to do just that!

Graduation Getaway
I booked this place a week ago for my graduation in Manchester New Hampshire. John the host, was very accommodating and great with communication ensuring everything ran smoothly during our stay! This place was in IMMACULATE condition. My family and I were very impressed and would definitely book again for another stay. Highly recommend 10/10 if you are looking for a getaway and you are traveling with children or a larger group.

Open kitchen/living area was great for hosting our group
Very nice property. Quiet area. The garage area that has bunk beds got a little chilly at night. There is no insulation in the ceiling it's just a garage with a mini-split. Otherwise a perfect stay.

Fantastic Retreat!
Our family had a wonderful celebration at this house! The open floorplan and beautiful kitchen were a hit! Everyone loved the game room which was great for celebrating my son's birthday! The house was spacious and well-equipped and we felt immediately at home here. The location was perfect, only minutes from UNH and we look forward to coming back next spring to celebrate our son's graduation from college. Thanks again to our hosts (John & Jess) for such an amazing stay.

Would be amazing in Summer
This place is close to everything: Portsmouth, Kittery- it's all 10ish minutes away. Very quick and convenient. The house is nicely furnished, adequately supplied with towels and blankets etc, we loved the fire place (were there late December).

Guys Weekend
We came to Eliot for a guys weekend away. The house was great, super clean, exactly like the posting. The backyard is HUGE (the pictures don't do it justice) and private, great space for a family to play games and entertain. Extremely close to Portsmouth with easy access to major routes. Great coffee shops nearby. The hosts were very responsive and made sure everything was easy. Highly recommend staying here and would definitely return! Thanks for a great weekend!

Family Trip
We loved the vacation home. The bunkhouse was bonus for the adult cousins to play late night games while everyone else slept inside quietly. The outdoor space is so inviting and was great to share some laughs by the fire. One bathroom was a little tough with 8 people but we made do. Another half bath would have been perfect. The outdoor shower helped tho with showers. The location of the home was perfect. We even went to Hampton Beach NH one day and it was only 20 minutes away. Overall I give this home a great review and would recommend to future vacationers

Family Between houses
John did an amazing job with the house. EVERYTHING is brand new. The dishes, towels, bedding, appliances, were all high quality. The space was perfect. The bunkhouse, outdoor patio, outdoor furniture and fire pit were amazing. With easy access to the city of Portsmouth, Kittery Outlets, and York Harbor, it is a fantastic place for family or couples to enjoy the beauty of the NH and Maine coast.
