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.

We discovered this house at the last minute, after another property we booked on Lake Winnipesaukee was unavailable when we arrived due to a fuel oil leak. After the host agency was unable to relocate us to a comparable property, we were in a hotel, frantically searching for another house. After finally expanding our search to include smaller lakes, we found this house on Half Moon Lake. Ron responded almost immediately when I submitted the booking about 10pm, and even got us in early the next day so we could salvage as much as possible of our weekend, which was a family trip for my husband's 60th birthday. He even checked in with us a couple times to make sure we had everything we needed.The house was perfect. It was immaculate, beautifully decorated, very cozy, and had absolutely everything we could have needed. Beds were comfortable with quality linens, there were plenty of plush towels, lots of flexible, comfortable living space, and the kitchen was well stocked. There was even a basket with a s'mores kit on the counter, which we didn't make much use of due to the weather, but it was a thoughtful touch. It was a rainy weekend but we didn't care. We relaxed, enjoyed the beautiful view and played family games. My husband and my son fished off the dock and finally caught a large fish on our last day. We loved our stay, and would go back in a heartbeat, instead of the larger lake. Thank you Ron, for everything, and for saving our weekend trip. We hope to be back!

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.
