Cannot beat the morning view.

Was an excellent stay, the national park is on the other side of the lake so the view is stellar. Had a very relaxing stay, most of it spent lounging on the lake beach.

This property was a beautiful little getaway for our family. The lake house offered many amenities that kept us all entertained on the lake. The private little beach access was perfect for our kids. The lake and view was gorgeous. The property itself was comfortable and ideal for our needs. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. We all look forward to going back again next year! Communication was top notch and check in process was easy.

NH - lake house stay

Everything is as described. Nice to be able to use items in shed: fishing poles, life vests, and toys. Loved the paddle boat and kayak. Kitchen was stocked with basic necessities to cook meals. Beds were comfortable enough but pillows could use updating. Owner was very nice and responsive to any questions or issues I had. Would stay again. The area was very relaxing.

Walk to a hike

We went in November for a small family retreat and did expect to nor did we swim or kayak. But being on the lake, sitting on the dock and small beach was a magical way to see so many many stars in the sky. It was steps to walk into Pawtuckaway park and go in a hike. We made it to the fire tower!

BEAUTIFUL LAKE PLACE

The house's location is perfectly lovely for friends and family. Many amenities with the house and the heating system proved to be more than adequate for us, being Floridians. YES, the lake view says it all. You can relax inside the house on one of the 3 floors of living space, or go out the back door to fish, go canoeing or enjoy a cocktail on the dock. Great fire pit with seating too. The owners are wonderfully helpful. We will be back!
