About this property
Experience the New Hampshire Seacoast
Enjoy a comfortable home in a location convenient to the best of all New Hampshire has to offer. This is our primary residence, available at mutually convenient times. We leave it fully equipped. NOTE: for 2024 there is a 4-night minimum stay.. Meals on our large screened porch are a special treat. Downtown shops and restaurants, the Children's Museum of NH, the Woodman Museum and Dover's lovely public library are an easy stroll away. Walking and biking along the Dover Community Trail/Cochecho River are less than a five minute walk from the back door. The cultural hubs of Portsmouth and the University of NH are 20 minutes away, Boston an hour & a half by train, coach or car. The White Mountains are an easy day trip while the Maine and New Hampshire beaches are a half hour to 45 minute drive. In short, Dover is a lovely small city centered among exceptional outdoor and cultural options.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Jim Verschueren
Carlo and I are retired educators, he as a high school teacher, I as an administrator most often in nonprofit organizations. Travel is a passion - we spend time each fall in France in a small village where we lived for 10 months in 2010. This photo was taken in Dublin. We were traveling with Norm the Moose from Jim's Rotary club. We have been together since 2006 and were married in 2009.
Why they chose this property
Ours is an easy-living home - cozy, comfortable, offering exceptional access to this dynamic region. Jim is a former state representative in the NH legislature and a huge Dover booster. Carlo moved here from his home state of New Jersey "for one year" in 1973 and never left. The proximity to cultural activities, the ocean, the mountains made it a permanent stay. People who don't know New Hampshire are always surprised by all we have to offer, especially here in the Seacoast. Our home offers the dual benefits of in-town, congestion-free living with stores close by as well as a country feel along the river just out the back door.
What makes this property unique
Those who come in the summer and fall have the special treat of enjoying meals on our large screened in porch at the back of the house. A country feel in the heart of the city. The grill is on the adjacent side deck. Though we are very much in urban Dover, out the back door is a two minute walk to little league baseball fields and the Dover Community Trail along the Cochecho River. Two miles in one direction is all rural. 15 minutes in the other direction leads you to the downtown portion of the trail, an easy stroll to downtown. Summers feature outdoor Friday evening concerts at the Rotary Pavilion downtown. For theater lovers, the summer family-oriented plays in Portsmouth's Prescott Park are a special treat. We take our grandchildren every year. Beer lovers will appreciate several micro-brew pubs in downtown Dover.
