The property is so quaint, full of charm and had all the amenities one would need for their stay. My family truly enjoyed their stay and it reminded them so much of properties Trey stayed in while visiting Scotland. Correspondence with property manager was so easy and quick to respond. I will highly recommend this property to friends and family!! I personally loved the “bee” door knocker and coffee mugs!!

Appreciate you taking the time to leave a review! It's great to hear you enjoyed the screened patio and found the home comfortable for your stay. The washer and dryer are reserved for our cleaning team to keep everything fresh between guests, but we’re always happy to recommend nearby laundromats if needed. Come visit again anytime!
Much larger than I expected! Huge clean rooms, very tastefully decorated throughout- a book for everyone’s liking, everything you need in the kitchen with a gorgeous dining room table. Our dog loved all the space and the little bit of woods in the back. The covered porch was perfect for the rainy days we had.

Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re delighted the space exceeded your expectations with its large, clean rooms and tasteful decor. It’s great to hear everyone enjoyed the books and well-equipped kitchen, and that your dog loved the spacious backyard and woods. The covered porch is indeed a cozy spot for rainy days, and we hope to welcome you and your furry friend back soon!
Nice cozy but large apartment. Close to everything. 15 minutes from Hampton Beach. Pet friendly which was very nice. Clean and well furnished.

Federal on Exeter served as an ideal location as we celebrated holidays and family events in the area. The apartment was both large enough and filled with historical charm. Everything we needed was present, and the apartment was spotless. The host routinely reached out to walk us through check in and any additional needs we needed.

Thank you for the great review! We're glad the place was the perfect spot for your family celebrations and its charm and cleanliness met your needs. We look forward to hosting you again!
The kitchen set up was very nice, but could have used some aluminum foil and plastic wrap for cooking. The only suggestion that I have would be to have a hard copy of the house handbook available because I couldn't get the scan code to work. I would also think that there may those that aren't that tech savy.

Thank you for your helpful suggestions! We’re glad you liked the kitchen setup and appreciate your note about adding aluminum foil and plastic wrap for cooking needs. We also understand the importance of a hard copy house handbook and are planning to provide this so guests can easily access important information without relying solely on digital codes. Your feedback helps us improve the guest experience, and we hope to welcome you back soon!
The stay was good. I had wanted to early check in and even though the place was empty the day before was asked to pay 25.00 an hour for early check in. Since I was paying 2k for the weekly stay this seemed excessive and not five star service. The bathroom mat and tub mat need replacing, they are old. Same with the brush and sponge for washing dishes in the kitchen. Small things, but that's what makes the difference. Other than that, enjoyed my stay. Thanks

Visiting Family in Epping to celebrate Thanksgiving.

Great accommodations, clean, everything you need in a kitchen, comfortable beds. Unfortunately, it was too cold to enjoy the screened in porch and outside patio.
Unfortunately, we won't be saying there again as we are in the process of moving from Maryland to New Hampshire! But we absolutelu would.

Thank you for choosing our accommodations for your Thanksgiving celebration with family in Epping! We're delighted to hear that you found everything you needed in the kitchen, and that the beds were comfortable. We're sorry to hear that the weather prevented you from fully enjoying the screened-in porch and outside patio, but we're glad you still had a great stay overall. Congratulations on your move from Maryland to New Hampshire, although we'll miss having you as guests! Should you ever need accommodations again in the area or have friends or family visiting, we'd love to welcome you back!
My husband and I searched on VRBO for a last minute trip after school ended to get away for just a few days, and we found this golden nugget. The property is hidden nicely on the back of a main house and while close to the shops in Epping, we weren't bothered by noise.
The house is old, but has great modern amenities. I was able to cook at home and the kids enjoyed a few games of chess in between their video games.
We were close enough to enjoy the beach, especially since the heat wave was in town, and boy did we appreciate the A/C!
The owner and property manager checked in with us regularly and answered all my questions. I would surely stay again.
