We loved our stay at this beautiful waterfront cottage! The place was spotless and very well appointed with everything we needed. The cottage is just as lovely as the photos. The view was outstanding and the foliage around the waters edge was beginning to change. The host was very helpful and so quick to respond to a small issue. I would highly recommend staying here and will book again in the future.
The house was very clean and decorated nicely with lake and beach theme accents. The best part was the large windows that looked out on the lake. We enjoyed paddling around the small lake with the kayaks.The gorgeous fsunsets were easily viewed from the property.
Property was immaculate, house was fully stocked, everything was labeled. House was very comfortable and updated. Yard was large, plenty of room for games. Kayaks and paddle boats were great. Overall we would definitely rent this location again!
Great spot! House is fantastic, they did a really nice job with the remodeling and renovating. We loved the deck as well—gets a good amount of sun and is a good hangout spot. The yard is huge for games like frisbee and tossing a football. Only demerit is the dock—for one, it needs some redoing because it's falling apart. And two, it's not really set up to walk directly into the water because of lily pads and debris/rocks. But the community beach is within walking distance, so still not too shabby. And otherwise a really phenomenal spot. We had a great time!
This property was perfect for us. My wife and 2 sons had a fantastic time. We were in New Hampshire for my sons college graduation. It was perfect for us. We had a beautiful weekend on the lake. It could not have been better!! Thank you for the memories!!
This cottage is just as listed. Clean, comfortable, updated, lots of room to relax. The property is on a lovely lot right on the water, and it was gorgeous. Thanks for a wonderful visit. We’ll come back soon.
A great place to stay. It peaceful, the view of the pond is great. Sitting on the dock fishing was absolutely my favorite. The house was so cute, clean and had all that would be needed for your stay.
We had such a wonderful time at the lakehouse. It had everything we needed. The peddle boat and kayaks we great. Hiking the trails was a lot of fun. Our family was looking for a low key relaxing vacation and it was exactly what we had. I would definitely stay here again.
Well maintained, extensive outfitting w/ games, books, boats, well appointed kitchen, beautiful lake, nice view from house, quiet (at least in off season when we stayed).
Several nice restaurants nearby too, only not open Mon-Wed. Overall, would highly recommend.
The house was immaculate and the neighborhood was peaceful. We stayed for 4 nights and enjoyed dining on the back deck, using the firepit at night and cooking in the well supplied kitchen. My husband even got to explore the pond using one of the kayaks. Overall fantastic experience.
The house was great for relaxing and enjoying the early summer season in NE. The host was super responsive to a few minor details. The house had everything we (4 seniors) needed and we enjoyed the hike at the end of the street. A favorite part was enjoying morning coffee on the small floating dock.
My husband and I stayed for three nights and I only wish it could have been longer. The house was clean, comfortable and we felt very much at home. Watching the sunset, while relaxing in the Adirondack chairs on the dock, was my favorite part of the day. Coffee on the swing bench was a close second.
