Wonderful Lakeside Family Vacation

Wonderful house with everything to relax and enjoy a lakeside family vacation. Great layout for gathering together and relaxing separately with so many comfy seating areas. Especially loved sunset kayaking, fireside s’mores and the new lakeside deck.

Great NH Stay

This home was a perfect stay for our group. We enjoyed the beautiful lake view while sitting by one of the fireplaces at the house. Spent two days skiing at Gunstock which is a short ride from the house. Would live to stay again! The hosts were super easy to communicate with and very helpful.

We loved the house and the location on the lake. So many great beautiful spots to sit with your coffee and relax or just pop in the water for a kayak or swim. The house had everything you need. They had thought of everything. Beds were comfortable, plenty of blankets and AC in the one room upstairs and the downstairs stayed very cool even on hot days. We had a few small issues while we were there and the owner was very fast to respond and communicative.
