This place is beautiful and just as advertised. We stayed 6 nights and did so many things. There are games and a gorgeous porch for rainy days. Close to everything, including Boston for a day trip. We will stay again and for longer.

What a wonderful property! Clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked and the host was very responsive. The back porch was spacious and welcoming... from listening to birds in the morning to playing cards at night was a treat. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect stay during bike week

Gorgeous property. Close to everything but far enough for quiet and relaxing. The back porch was perfect for hanging out, eating, and keeping the bugs out.

Magical lake cabin

We loved our experience at this property! Great for a family looking for a lake vacation or friends going to a concert at the nearby venue. We loved sitting out on the back sun porch amongst the trees. The owner was very responsive to all my questions and was so kind to go above and beyond with local recommendations and information. We would absolutely return here!

Perfect place!

We had the best experience with Marlene! The house was clean, easy to get to and very accommodating. House looks just as pictured. Communication was prompt, Marlene always responded fast and was helpful getting information about the area. We went for bike week and the house was close enough to everything but just far enough away where we could also get some quiet time to relax. Will definitely be booking again!

Clean and Charming Home

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the "Back Porch" home in Gilford! The home was charming, spacious, sparkling clean, and well-stocked with everything we needed. Our kids enjoyed the foosball table, soft bedding, and watching movies from the comfortable recliners in the family room. My husband and I enjoyed the short, 6-minute drive to Gunstock Ski Resort (easy when our 6-year-old was tired and wanted to go home, but our 10-year-old wanted to continue snowboarding!) and the beautiful, peaceful views from the family room, kitchen, and back porch. We highly recommend this home as a vacation rental! Thank you for a comfortable and fun visit!!

Beautiful house in the perfect location!

So many great things to say about the owners and the house. Marlene was so sweet and accommodating. She allowed for early check-in and provided so much information on things to do with the family while there. And all activities were easy to get to and not far at all. The house was stocked well with items typically not provided in rentals. They even left a bag of ice to use for a cooler. The back screened porch was a family fave hang out area, especially on rainy days. Would definitely recommend and stay here again!
