Wonderful Location - Great place to relax by the water

Great house - perfect location! We enjoyed being able to take a short walk to the beach - and morning coffee on the dock by the canal in the backyard. Watching the fish in the water and catching a few resident ducks with babies swim by. By mid afternoon the backyard is in the shade and we enjoyed a few drinks/dinner and music on the deck. Short walk to the Pickleball/tennis courts was great to get a few games in. We will be back next year!

Annual Memorial Day Family Reunion

This lovely lake house was right in the middle of our 5 other relatives' lake houses. We have been going to this lake community for many years & staying with relatives, but we wanted to rent our own place this time. The house was very clean & well-appointed, & we really enjoyed our stay there. The brook was directly outside in back! The weather was a bit cool, so we didnt kayak or go to the beautiful beach, but that made for more family time with our 30 relatives!

Paradise in Moultonborough

It’s no wonder that the house resides on Paradise Drive. An absolute slice of heaven. This was our second time staying here and we can’t wait to book again. You can’t beat the location when you are a short walk to the lively public beach while also sitting on a cool quiet tributary with a private dock. The home is clean and comfortable with multiple wall mounted AC units to escape the summer heat. Two bedrooms with plenty of space for air mattresses makes this place great for families or friends.

We were a little confused with some of the check in instructions but the owner was very responsive once I could establish service on my phone. The place grew on both my husband and I. Loved the location near the beach and river in the back. Wish we had booked for longer.

Needs a LOT of freshening up

The check-in process was awkward. We had to figure out how to turn on the water, then the lights. The owner posted instructions on the fridge but when we are just arriving I feel the water needs to be on already. There was a musty smell in the place and it didnt smell fresh. The owner commnicated great and answered all our questions. The place, although a super quaint place and great location needs LOTS of refreshing and updating. The light fixtures, plumbing fixtures, walls had wall paper on them, and half of bedroom ceiling had insulation foam as the covering. It was far from a finished look of a comfortable vacation rental. We checked out a day early because we couldn't sleep well. I understand it was our choice to leave early but we did ask for a partial refund and got no response. The place could be wonderful but it needs a LOT lf work and cleaning out. Just one man's perspective.

Great location, but some details should be addressed

I have stayed at many vacation homes over the last ten years and I would start by saying this was a great little house in a great location! You are right on the brook that accesses the lake! We brought our pontoon boat up the brook with no problem at all and docked it right at the house. The home itself is a nice little place, a/c works great, cute little kitchen, spacious bathroom, clean and homey. I was VERY dissatisfied however with the fact that the list of amenities included a washer and dryer but when we got there we discovered they were locked up. Property manager got back to us and said they were owner use only. So therefore, they should NOT be listed in the amenities. We came with limited clothes and beach towels thinking we could wash/reuse. Also, the blind in the big bay window overlooking the street does not close. That was a privacy issue as it is a very busy street. We were left only one roll of paper towels and 2 of TP for 4 and a half days of vacation. Several kitchen utensils were melted and clearly very old. The drawers in the bedroom were full of owner’s clothes leaving us no place to unpack our things. And probably worst of all, there was an electric hair clipper in the bathroom drawer full of black hair shavings. That was very unpleasant to find. If those things were rectified this rental would be top notch tho!! The location was fantastic and we had an amazing lake vacation with convenient access to the lake!

as advertised...

Really needs some tlc... broken blinds, plastic window sealer. Listen. It is a good location at a fair price that allows pets. We were in the area for a reunion and only slept at the home. The photos are a fair representation of what you are going to get.

Loved it! Had 8 the mattresses although we made work were not that comfortable . Pull out sofa for very big son. We had a lot of laughs about it! Loved the location. We had a jet boat.

Cozy home in an unbeatable location

While the check-in process was less than ideal I have nothing but praise for this home and it’s location. Having the river access was so convenient and peaceful. While the beach is always a fun time it was nice to enjoy a private oasis on the dock on the river. Having kayaks available was a treat and the outdoor space was open and well maintained. The home had 3 air conditioning units that worked remarkably and kept us comfortable (if not chilled) when relaxing indoors and sleeping. The living space is open, cozy and clean. Hard to tell if neighbors on either side were owners or other renters but they were very friendly. Despite being there for 4th of July week we found the neighborhood was quiet and respectful without disturbances. We hope to return for 4th of July next year and make this an annual occurrence. Thank you Paradise!
