Our stay was perfect. The house is beautiful and even nicer than it looks in photos, so nicely decorated, comfortable and well stocked. The hosts, Tom and Kem, were incredibly warm and hospitable. They gave us local recommendations for restaurants and activities and all were great. We will absolutely stay here again on a future visit.
We had a truly wonderful stay at this lovely home in New London, NH! Tom and Kem were fantastic hosts—warm, welcoming, and couldn't have been more accommodating. The house was sparkling clean, cozy, and it was clear that every detail had been thoughtfully considered to make our stay comfortable. The kitchen was so well stocked, the towels and linens were top quality, and we were touched by the sweet welcome gift waiting for us when we arrived—such a nice personal touch. We will absolutely be booking again, and highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway in New London. Everything about it is absolutely 5 stars! (And I'm picky.) 🥰
This was my first VRBO experience and I have to admit that I was very apprehensive, as was my sister, who is also a VRBO newbie. Upon entry we were thoroughly pleased and impressed. The decor and accommodations are very tastefully done and the home is spotless. The hosts are lovely. We’re co-ordinating our calendars for future visits and this will be our go to for hopefully many more years.
This home is an amazing gem. The house is beautiful and very well appointed. Tom and Ken are wonderful hosts. We hope to stay here the next time we come to New London.
This was one of the best stays we've ever had booking through Vrbo/ABNB. Kem and Tom we're incredible hosts and the place was absolutely beatiful. I would highly recommended
Everything previously reviewed and written about this property and hosts is 100% accurate! This cozy home away from home is beautifully appointed and maintained, kitchen and bathrooms clean and well-stocked, and the location is beyond serene. The home has lots of wonderful windows that can be opened wide to allow in lots of delicious fresh country air (we didn't want or need to turn on the A/C!), and a large back deck where you can sit and enjoy the quiet and beauty of the adjacent golf course! As of this writing, the washing machine and dryer, and dishwasher, are new and function beautifully. Hosts Kem and Tom take special pride and care in the space. What's more, they are beyond lovely, approachable, attentive, and responsive humans who are very friendly and welcoming, but at the same time very respectful of privacy. They provide a much-appreciated comprehensive "instruction sheet" and promptly answered any questions we might have had, e.g., is there a special place to put the recycling, etc. The place is a little slice of heaven and a short drive from the main drag in New London. We'd stay here again in a heartbeat.
We had a wonderful week in New London. The property is beautifully maintained and in a great location. It's perfect for us. The Vassalo's are gracious hosts and we've enjoyed multiple stays with them. I'd highly recommend this property to anyone looking to spend time in the New London area.
We absolutely love this property. It's in a peaceful and quiet location, it's beautifully appointed and the owners are super responsive. We have stayed here before and would recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing experience.
Shaker Bear Guesthouse was absolutely beautiful and incredibly comfortable! Tom and Kem were the most gracious of hosts, and we had a wonderful stay. We'll be back!!
Very welcoming and friendly hosts. We didn’t get to enjoy all of the amenities given our timing and brief stay, but great property, location and hospitality.
We had a great time staying here. The rental was BEAUTIFUL and very comfortable. I actually wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the property more! Communication with the hosts was always prompt, kind, and clear, and all the directions for parking and opening doors etc. were very clear. Would definitely stay here again!
We had a lovely stay at this wonderful home! The house was beautifully appointed and very comfortable. Tom and Kem were gracious hosts and had spiced nuts and sangria awaiting us upon our arrival. We’ve stayed at other local lodges and Tom and Ken’s tops them all! We look forward to visiting again!
