We loved the house and the location on the lake. So many great beautiful spots to sit with your coffee and relax or just pop in the water for a kayak or swim. The house had everything you need. They had thought of everything. Beds were comfortable, plenty of blankets and AC in the one room upstairs and the downstairs stayed very cool even on hot days. We had a few small issues while we were there and the owner was very fast to respond and communicative.

Wonderful Lakeside Family Vacation

Wonderful house with everything to relax and enjoy a lakeside family vacation. Great layout for gathering together and relaxing separately with so many comfy seating areas. Especially loved sunset kayaking, fireside s’mores and the new lakeside deck.

A Cozy Getaway!

We had a great stay! The property was clean, well-maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing trip. The check-in and check-out process was simple and straightforward.We hiked Blue Job Mountain and checked out a few local spots to eat nearby. While the weather didn’t fully cooperate, we made the most of it with board games, cards, and catching the NBA playoffs — all while spending quality time with friends.Thanks again for a great experience. Would definitely recommend!

Relaxing Lakehouse with Nice Views

This was an excellent choice for my first trip ever organized by myself. Ron was super responsive to any questions or concerns that I had. Even when I thought it was too early or too late and there was no chance he would respond until the next day, he still responded quickly and was always helpful. The house had an amazing view of the lake, and we had a great time using the kayaks. While we spent most of our time out and about, I'd love to come back and just hang out in the house or at the lake. I also appreciated the little goodie basket they gave us with smores supplies and wine. Overall a great experience, would recommend.

Excellent waterfront property

Our stay was really great here. I stayed here with my wife’s two boys as she had passed away last July. It was sad without her but I know she would have really enjoyed this place. It had everything we needed and it was a hot week and yet the downstairs stayed cool and the upstairs bedroom had a really nice air conditioner. The lake was great for swimming and there was a paddle board as well as kayaks to use. You could jump right off the end of the dock as well. We also caught some good fish and even cooked up some white perch we caught. Overall great place to stay and I would recommend this spacious house!

Family stay

We cannot say enough about our stay and the property. We were a group of six adults coming from all over the east coast for a graduation and family gathering. There was plenty of room for everyone to work remotely, the paddle board and kayak were appreciated, the morning coffee views were incredible. We even got to enjoy the northern lights over the lake. Communication with Ron was fast and any challenges were quickly resolved. Cannot wait to enjoy the property again. Thank you!

New Hampshire in the Fall

We were very pleased with our stay. Ron was quick to respond to our questions. When we walked into the house the first thing we noticed was the beautiful view and how clean it was. We had everything we needed for our stay. The beds we’re comfortable and the setup for two couples was great. Thank you again for making our visit to New Hampshire so special.

Great Lake House!

Overall layout of the house was great and it was very clean. There were amazing views of the lake and lots of comfy places to sit indoors or outside to enjoy the view or curl up with a good book. Kids enjoyed kayaking and paddle boarding and having s’mores and drinks by the fire was a great way to end each day. Owners were quick to respond when we had a question and they provide a lot of nice little touches that make it feel very homey. Would definitely recommend!
