Pleasant Getaway

We were visiting NH to see my brother. We spent quite a bit of time relaxing at the house and it was wonderful. The views were beautiful and the lake was peaceful although I suspect it would be much busier during the summer season. The hosts were exactly as communicative as desired. We highly recommend this property to others and would stay again in the future.

Excellent get away

The place was really warm, bright, clean and fun. The hot tube was great, the back deck area / waters edge was easy to access without 500 steps, Kareoke machine was going the whole time. Kitchen was great, we cooked every meal for the 3 days. Gas pressure is a little low on the cooktop but it all worked just fine. The 2 story sun room is really nice to read in. Beds were comfy and bathrooms were clean. The tub/shower valve is a little counter intuitive but we figured it out. Having a Market basket 12 minutes down the road is great.

Great House for Family Garhering

My family including 6 adults and 2 children stayed at this house February 14-17, 2025. House is as described in listing. House was clean and fully furnished. We enjoyed the sun room as we watched the snow fall. Karaoke machine was a big hit with the grandchildren. We would definitely go back and remarked that it would be fun to be there in the summer. The only suggestion was for some hooks to hang winter coats and jackets.

Well-stocked with the best!

Whatever you need in the kitchen is not only there but also of the best quality. That holds true with the towels (in abundance!) as well. Our teens loved playing pool. Our getaway was in November, so we couldn't take advantage of the lake activities. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving and highly recommend it for family gatherings of many ages.

Wedding Weekend

The house had a generous layout with room to spread out and be comfortable. Sited right on the waterfront, it was a beautiful location. It’s all there - a hot tub, kayaks, pool table. We parked 4 cars too. Owner was responsive to anything that came up - our wayward Amazon package - even reaching out to mail carrier for help. Very accommodating! Would certainly return when we get a chance.

Relaxing Lake Stay

Our group has stayed at this property several times and keep coming back because it is such a special spot. There is so much to do between the lake itself, the fire pit, hot tub, pool table, and karaoke. We love to cook and the kitchen space is wonderful. We always enjoy our time here. Can’t wait to stay again!

Picture Perfect Family & Friends Vacation!

We had an amazing summer family and friends (framily) vacation in this beautiful oasis! We all had such a great time on the lake this week with our best friends and our babies and our two pups! Spent our days swimming, fishing, floating, and kayaking. Spent our nights hanging in the hot tub, playing pool, watching the Olympics, playing games and just spending time together in this little slice of paradise. Can’t wait to come back next August! Ed and Leatha are such thoughtful and considerate hosts. We had everything we could have needed, wanted, and more!

Perfect stay!

We had a perfect weekend at this lakeside cottage! We were in town for our son's graduation from UNH, and needed a home that was large enough for grandparents and ourselves. This was a perfect place for us to relax, unwind, and enjoy some family time! The listing is accurate, and there was nothing extra that we could have wanted. We have stayed at many rental homes in the past, but this is the first time that I can honestly say that all we needed to bring were our clothes and food. There were plenty of towels (both bath towels and beach towels), and an entire closet of extra bedding. The kitchen was well stocked with anything you could have needed to cook, and we were surprised with a little snack basket and k-cups for the Keurig. Toilet paper, paper towels, hand soap, dish soap, shampoo, conditioner, and bodywash were all provided as well. We were able to use the kayaks and paddleboat (plenty of life vests and water shoes were also available to us), and the hot tub, pool table, and karaoke machine kept us plenty busy while it was raining. The host was easy to communicate with both before an during our stay. Would highly recommend!
