Waterfront Retreat stay

We were 4 adults couples that stayed at the retreat for the Laconia Bike Rally. There was plenty of room for all of us. The home was beautiful with amazing views as it sits in the water. We really enjoyed our time there! Would definitely stay again. Thank you

Laconia Bike Week

We we’re in town from Arizona for LaConia Bike week. The location of the house was perfect. We were 4 adult couples and the house was a great fit for all of us. We really appreciate the stay. Had a great time.

Lack of Privacy and unaccommodating

This property was a large well kept home in a quite neighborhood with only one other home at the end of the street. The listing states that it sleeps 10 however the owners only allow a very limited amount of cars. When asked for accommodations for other cars they were unwilling to provide any recommendations. There were a few extra cars in the driveway for one day of our stay, not blocking the road or on their grass and the landlord texted stating pictures were taken of our property outside, drones were flown into the yard to monitor what we were doing invading our privacy and police were called. The owner seems to have had trouble in the past with other guests having larger gatherings than the they wanted and do not give their quest privacy because of that. I would not recommend this property.

Mehhh

I tried to reach guest contacts by text and e-mail two days before the check-in but could not get a response, which was disconcerting. I had to call them to find answers to my questions. The house was clean, the kitchen was nice. One of the worst things about this house was lighting. It was poor and some light bulbs out most rooms and the main floor was extremely dim. There were some issues of it not being as the pictures suggested. There was not a cushioned outdoor seating in the deck as pictured. I don't think to stay again. I wish I could've left a better review.

Beautiful lakeside retreat

We got lucky with the weather and were out on the kayaks almost every day even though it was November. It’s a small lake but beautiful and quiet area, nice walks also across the other side of lake. House was well stocked, amazing kitchen, and great open layout. Master suite amazing with heated floor in bath. Hosts were very responsive to any issues or questions.
