Long weekend relaxing getaway

The only real negative on our stay was that the home smelled very musty but with all the rain we have had this summer and the age of the home, it is probably to be expected. Otherwise for most of the weekend we were the only ones on the street. Also I thought the property was more lakefront than it was. It was more lake view with a footpath down a steep hill to the lake across the street. Otherwise we had a few surprises with some fresh apples, granola bars, cider and creamer. Water is not drinkable but they left us plenty of water bottles and jugs for our consumption.

Cozy cabin in the woods

Me and my wife enjoyed our stay.Very relaxing cabin, great porch to have coffee in the morning facing the water. It rained most of the trip, but we still had a good time. The property listing may need to be updated ,since it lists a hot tub however the property doesn't have one. The owner Mary was very pleasant and cabin was very clean

About the host

Hosted by Mary Sullivan

We purchased this "Lake Escape" in Jan. 2012. Our draw to this quaint, lakeside setting, is its calming tranquility. There's plenty to do for the outdoor enthusiasts. Only 45 minutes to the NH State Capital in Concord, 15 minutes to Hillsboro, Peterborough, Keene, and close to many recreational activities, including Mt. Monadnock, Sunapee State Park, Crotched Mountain, and countless quaint New England towns. Our family (including our black lab, Stella), decided it's time to share this gem with other families.

Our cabin observes all NH Rental Licensing requirements (NH License #063406)

Why they chose this property

Close to modern amenities and cultural activities, the quaint town of Stoddard is perfect for escaping the chaos. You'll experience a simpler way of life as you cross the wooden bridge, and wind around the corners on your climb up Shedd Hill Road. This cabin, and it's surroundings, has an abundance of natural beauty. It's ideal for year round outdoor enthusiasts, from hiking, walking, biking, fishing, boating, berry picking, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, local art, bird watching, and so much more.....

What makes this property unique

Who doesn't dream of staying in a rustic NH log cabin at a lake? This beauty is ideal for creating traditions and memories to last a lifetime......Kicking back in the rocking chairs on the screened porch listening to the loons. Take a trip down to the General Store for coffee, lunch, ice cream or brews while you're there. Cruise the beautiful waters of Highland Lake in our complimentary kayaks. Enjoy a hike, take a journey up panoramic Pitcher Mountain to climb the fire tower, drive or walk to the top of Blueberry Mountain to pick buckets of blueberries, visit a local artist, the list goes on. Or, relax, do nothing, and enjoy!
