We had a wonderful summer getaway. The house was ideal for our large group with plenty of beds, bathrooms and eating space. We enjoyed kayaking and swimming on the lake and having smores by the campfire. Would highly recommend this house. Communication with owners was always quick. Thank you again!

If you're looking for a fun lake vacation, it's worthy of your consideration. Overall, home is well stocked to accommodate a large group; an easy and convenient walk to the welcoming lake, with multiple attractions nearby for diversion. The one caveat was having to bring your own bathing and beach towels and bath soap, although there really isn't any beach, so more for swimming and kayaking (kayaks provided).

Beautiful home. Spacious for 3 families on a ski trip to Okemo. Close proximity to the mountain. Having firewood after a long day skiing was a huge plus! Cozy living room to hang out in. Would definitely rent again!

House was exactly the way it is described. We had a great family weekend being together talking and playing games. Went skiing for one day as it was overcast and raining, but everyone had a good time without skiing every day. House has a lot of room to spread out and be comfortable.

We had a family ski trip and enjoyed our stay at this wonderful, spacious house. Everyone had plenty of room and the house is set up nicely for people to stay either on the main floor, second floor or basement. Plenty of space for all. It was a quick drive to Okemo and close by to the Sugar House for Maple Syrup and Maple Creamies! Communication with host was easy to resolve a couple minor issues. Check in was a breeze. Really nice place. I would imagine it is great in the warmer weather too when you can take advantage of the lake as well. Hopefully, will be back for another ski trip in the future.

NH Vacation

We had 18 people when you included the children. We loved the lake access and using the canoes and kayaks. The house comfortably fit all of us without feeling crowded. It was a quiet neighborhood. We cooked s'mores and dinner over the open fire. It was a great stay!
