Pleasant Getaway

We were visiting NH to see my brother. We spent quite a bit of time relaxing at the house and it was wonderful. The views were beautiful and the lake was peaceful although I suspect it would be much busier during the summer season. The hosts were exactly as communicative as desired. We highly recommend this property to others and would stay again in the future.

Relaxing Lake Stay

Our group has stayed at this property several times and keep coming back because it is such a special spot. There is so much to do between the lake itself, the fire pit, hot tub, pool table, and karaoke. We love to cook and the kitchen space is wonderful. We always enjoy our time here. Can’t wait to stay again!

Excellent get away

The place was really warm, bright, clean and fun. The hot tube was great, the back deck area / waters edge was easy to access without 500 steps, Kareoke machine was going the whole time. Kitchen was great, we cooked every meal for the 3 days. Gas pressure is a little low on the cooktop but it all worked just fine. The 2 story sun room is really nice to read in. Beds were comfy and bathrooms were clean. The tub/shower valve is a little counter intuitive but we figured it out. Having a Market basket 12 minutes down the road is great.

Great House for Family Garhering

My family including 6 adults and 2 children stayed at this house February 14-17, 2025. House is as described in listing. House was clean and fully furnished. We enjoyed the sun room as we watched the snow fall. Karaoke machine was a big hit with the grandchildren. We would definitely go back and remarked that it would be fun to be there in the summer. The only suggestion was for some hooks to hang winter coats and jackets.

Well-stocked with the best!

Whatever you need in the kitchen is not only there but also of the best quality. That holds true with the towels (in abundance!) as well. Our teens loved playing pool. Our getaway was in November, so we couldn't take advantage of the lake activities. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving and highly recommend it for family gatherings of many ages.
