"A Perfect Getaway in New Hampshire – Absolutely Excellent!"
We had a fantastic stay at this gorgeous house in New Hampshire! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the spaciousness and beauty of the property. The house is huge – perfect for our family and friends. Every room is thoughtfully designed and well-equipped, making it feel like a home away from home.

Family reunion overflow
I’m afraid we didn’t take advantage of many of the amenities because of the nature of our gathering, most of which took place at another location – but the time we spent there was wonderful. It’s a perfect setting, quiet, picturesque, and there is plenty of room to spread out – a beautiful, big dining room, and a kitchen that is well equipped. I would highly recommend it to anyone who needs a big nice house in the Lakes region!

Everything We Hoped it Would Be
We had a multi-generational family gathering at Quietude the first two weeks in July. The setting fully met up to its name. We were looking for a private home for 15 to gather together and also have some space for small group interactions. The sleeping accommodations where comfy and the various living spaces allowed us to be together and separate as desired.
In the recent renovations, the owners preserved the historic charm while providing modern conveniences. The kitchen is truly a cook's kitchen with space for several to work simultaneously and plenty of seating for onlookers. In the dining room we were all able to sit together by adding a small table at the end and spent hours enjoying great food and conversation.
We had some artists and musicians in our group and found the ecoustics in the library and light on the enclosed porch to be delightful.
Our interactions with the property managers enhanced the experience for us. We received quick and thorough responses to our inquiries and any concerns.
I would love to go back again!
