We had an excellent week and the weather cooperated. Played lots of games out on the deck and enjoyed the waterfront swimming. We had a great week relaxing at the lake house.

We had such a wonderful stay and made so many great family memories here! We loved spending our evenings playing family games together on the porch and in the living room, and our days kayaking and enjoying the lake. One of our favorite surprises was having a farm with fresh corn right next door and another farm with fresh meat and eggs just a minute up the road. We made some of the most delicious farm-fresh dinners!The house was comfortable, peaceful, and the perfect home base for our New Hampshire getaway. We’ll definitely look back on this trip with so many happy memories!

Gorgeous Weekend Stay

We had a lovely weekend stay to relax and work. Check in was easy, the place was spotless and spacious, and the hot tub was the cherry on top! The view, with autumn leaves, was stunning and the weather couldn’t have been better. Would definitely stay here again.

Hi!! We just got home from a fun weekend in Barnstead. The home was just as pictured. It was clean, net and well organized. Checkin in and out was a breeze. When we arrive one of the smoke alarms was chirping, it needed a new battery. I reached out o the host and they were quick to respond. We located the ladder in new battery with no problem. The property is beautiful being right on the lake. We were lucky to have 2 great fall days to enjoy the paddle boat and kayaks. Couldn't ask for a better family weekend get away!!

Best vacation ever had, hassle free process from booking to check-out, Excellent experience!

It was one of the best vacation we had in the past few years, Great location with excellent ambience, adding to that the view from deck was awesome, thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! I can't put it in words the feeling we had having coffee and break fast on the deck, so calm and refreshing! Looking forward to visit this vacation home again soon! I highly recommend this place if you are looking to spend your time doing vacation in NH area, kids loved water front, swimming and kayaking

Amazing place

We stayed for a little girls weekend and the house slept all 8 of us very comfortably with room for more. The location is great! Nice and quiet with plenty to do. We honestly just hung out at the house and had a blast! Kayaked, grilled, sunbathed, had a bonfire and used the hot tub. We will definitely stay here again!

Wonderful Lakeside Stay

We stayed here in October to take in the beautiful Fall. The home was absolutely wonderful, as advertised, very clean and beautifully situated right on a little lake. My family enjoyed having a little fire, watching the sun set, and taking in nature. Would highly recommend.

Weekend on the lake

My family had a great time at this large and comfortable lake house. We enjoyed the fantastic view and easy lake access. The provided kayaks were perfect for a weekend paddling and exploring the laid-back lake. Excellent communication and easy check-in made everything go smoothly. Thanks for a fun weekend of de-stressing!

Beautiful, relaxing setting

We completely enjoyed our 1 week stay at this lake side home. It was as advertised, spotlessly clean on arrival and had all the basics to help us enjoy our stay. We enjoyed kayaking on the lake, lounging next to the lake and time at night around the good sized fire pit. Perhaps our favorite view was from the deck which gave an expansive view and was comfortable with a table, deck furniture and an awning to shield from direct sun. Would definitely recommend!!

Relaxing 40th Birthday weekend.

Beautiful home and location! Water front access with on site kayaks and pedal boats were a lot of fun. Often times you never know if you're going to love the sleeping arranget and I have to say, all the beds were wonderful. We celebrated my wife's 40th birthday and it was everything we dreamed of. We loved our stay at Serenity by the lake.
