Would give 6 stars

We had an amazing time at Tim’s property. Everything was clean and there were lots of amenities like a keurig, air fryer and crock pot. Beach towels were on site and the kids loved the local beach with floating platform for cannon balls and other fun. We saw a bunch of wildlife! Beautiful, quiet location. Can’t wait to come back!

Family Fun Week

We all had an excellent time at Tim’s house. Kitchen and dining area were great for dinners together and the view is lovely. Although it hit 90 degrees and was very humid a few days it was always comfortable inside the house. Enjoyed the water toys, deck area and the close beach. Tim was very responsive to our questions. Highly recommend.

We cannot say enough good things about our stay! The house was lovely and well stocked with essentials. Our host communicated above and beyond with us and We felt at home and enjoyed every minute of it. Even though we went during a cooler time, we absolutely recommend staying here anytime of the year, because I’m sure it’s even better in the summertime. Will definitely be back!

A Perfect Family Getaway in New Hampshire

A Perfect Family Getaway in New Hampshire We recently stayed at this charming home in New Hampshire, and it was an unforgettable experience for our family. The serene lake setting provided the perfect backdrop for a memorable vacation. We introduced our 2-year-old to the joys of fishing, and it was wonderful watching her excitement as she learned something new. The home’s location by the lake made it easy for us to enjoy various water activities. We spent a relaxing afternoon doing a "paint and vino" session right by the water, and our little one had a blast kayaking, paddle boarding, and exploring in the adorable rowboat—her first time ever! The peace and tranquility of the lake made our stay exceptionally calming. The home itself was well-equipped with everything we needed and was impeccably maintained. Our host was incredibly attentive and responsive, ensuring that all our needs were met. Overall, our stay was fantastic, and we are looking forward to returning in the fall and winter to experience the beauty of the seasons. We highly recommend this home for anyone looking for a cozy, picturesque retreat.

Great house

The house was great. It is on a little cove just off of the main lake. There are some smaller beaches on the lake that my kids liked as well as a swing set right up the road. Tim was a very responsive host. It is in a fairly isolated region of the state. There isn't much in the surrounding towns but there are a few spots to check out. But if you want to have a staycation at a cute lake house, relax, and not see many people, this is a great option.

Great Location!

My friends and I stayed here for a long weekend of board games in mid-July. Great place to chill, be on the lake, and enjoy the scenery! We used the paddle boards to explore the lake and I really enjoyed relaxing in the hammock overlooking the water. Tim was great and very responsive!

Cozy house on a quiet lake

Our family of 4 enjoyed a nice stay in July. The kitchen is well stocked and there is a big gas grill. Note that there are AC units in the two bedrooms, but none downstairs. Even though it was hot - close to 90 degrees, the downstairs wasn't uncomfortable, and we enjoyed having the windows open. But if you are a person who loves AC, it may be too warm. We loved going out in the kayaks, paddleboards, and even a rowboat. There is a hammock in the yard. The house is on a smaller section off of the main pond, and it is quiet. The only thing we would have preferred is to be able to swim right from the dock. While we could swim from the dock, it was relatively shallow - no jumping off the small dock - and the bottom was a little mucky. So we preferred paddling to the nearby docks in the main section of the pond where there were sandy beaches. Water was warm in July. No problems with bugs when sitting around the firepit in the evening. And in mid July, there is a summer festival in Hillsborough.

Perfect for a fall getaway!

This house was perfect. It was clean, and well equipped. Beautiful location. We found so many nearby fall activities. And the foliage was peaking, everywhere was beautiful. The Intervale Pancake House next to Pats Peak has a great breakfast. Hikes in Fox Forest. I enjoyed sitting on the dock in the morning with my coffee and the evening with my wine. If you’re looking for a not too far fall getaway, this place is what you want! Thank you Tim!

This was by far one of the best houses we ever rented.

Nice getaway place

The house is very nice. It's not too cluttered with decorations so you can move in and feel like its your place. It is well furnished and has all the little things you might forget (even a ground anchor for a dog run!). The back yard is nice and there is plenty of seating to dine outdoors or sit around a fire in the evening. The fishing is great as my two boys pulled in a dozen fish from the dock. The paddleboard and kayaks kept the kids busy. The neighborhood is pleasant and the community beach is close by. We would look for this place again because it was a great rental. Our host, Tim is great and has local resources to handle any issues. This is a nice getaway place and is perfect for a small family. It is one of the best rental houses that we have stayed in while vacationing in New Hampshire.
