Magical Lakefront Home in Forest Lake

Beautiful serene 3 level home home with two bedroom, two baths, and 3 decks over looking the lake. Magnificent sunsets from your private beach or private multi level decks. Sit up high among the trees off your main living space, your bedroom or lower level on the outside deck. Watch the sun glisten on the lake during the day or enjoy the beautiful sun set in the evening. Bring your pet and have your morning coffee on the front deck while your pet explores the fenced in front yard. Take the canoe out and for some morning exercise and perhaps catch the evenings dinner. Swim off the private dock during the day or lounge on the beach, and toast marshmallows at the campfire on the beach in the evening. This is a beautiful modern house on crystal clear forest lake; perfect for a romantic getaway. The home provides a full kitchen, a fenced front yard with a white picket fence. There is a deck on each floor with a southwest exposure to enjoy the sunsets.! The top floor is the master suite, and has a clawfoot tub and separate shower. The main level has one bedroom and three sliding glass doors that lead to a deck with a gas barbecue grill. The bottom floor has a wood-burning stove, a bunk room which is perfect for kids, and a walk-out deck which leads down to the water. There is a brick sitting area with a fire pit for roasting marshmallows, and a waterfront picnic area right next to the dock.

Peaceful stay in NH

This house was a wonderful getaway for my family. The boys loved the swimming and fishing. The upper deck was a wonderful place to sit and relax. The house was very clean and ready to use. The street was very quiet and there were no jet skis or other loud boats out on the water. We brought our own kayaks and went around the lake numerous times. Overall, this house was perfect for our family (and pup as well). My boys want to us rent this house again next year!

Great long stay

We stayed at this lovely property for an entire July. Not their fault that it was one of the wettest Julys on record! On the rare sunny days, we enjoyed the lake and did some hiking at Pisgah state park. Otherwise, we enjoyed the house and there was enough room for both of us to be there without feeling crowded. It's rural and very natural areal, I very much felt like I was getting a break from the city. Our cats loved the balcony! They stretched out there almost every day.

Very enjoyable!

Had a great time. Perfect for families. Poor communication initially about WiFi. No cell service. Did get it straightened out. Wish there were kayaks. Had a canoe which was fine, but it was big and heavy. Rafts not usable due to leaks. Stairs to lake were 3 flights. Great exercise, but watch out for small children. House needed some attention. Lights in kitchen not working, grill needed cleaning. Upstairs bedroom suite was absolute Ky lovely. First floor room quite small with full bed. Lower level were built in shelves for small children only. No doors to upper level suite. Hard to sleep with TV on in living area. Lake was small peaceful and quiet. Price was very high. Don’t know if they raised it because of demand this summer. In summary house was very nice and we had a fun six days with the kids and grandkids.

Lovely Home

We stayed five days at the end of September and had a wonderful time. The house was clean and had all the kitchen implements that anyone would need. We walked, hiked, and canoed every day. There was an extensive DVD collection of movies and music. The beds were comfortable, ceiling fans on the main level and upstairs kept the place cool, the slider doors with screens also helped with the air flow. And we got to bring our dog who loved the lake. Thanks to Joe and Dana for a wonderful time.

Relaxing getaway

We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely home on Forest Lake. Home was very well kept, owners were immediately responsive for a question about WiFi. Beautiful, peaceful, took some nice walks. Very friendly neighbors- the kids from a few houses away were thrilled to bring us our retrievers water toy that had floated away 😀.

We had a great stay. The house is as the pictures advertise, and frankly, we found the lake even better than the pictures. Clear water, very quiet -- we often felt like we had it to ourselves.

Relaxing Stay at Beautiful Forest Lake

Everything was wonderful for our stay at the lake house. The property is well maintained, and the house is very clean. The house is well laid out for families or a group of friends as there are sleeping quarters on all three levels of the house. Access to the lake is very easy, just a few flights of stairs down, and there is a dock and floating swimming platform for sole use of the people staying there. The property is rural enough to be quiet and get away from it all, but has a small market and a couple of places to eat in town, and most anything you need 20 minutes away in nearby Keene. I would highly recommend staying here, Dana was very helpful with any questions we had, and easy to communicate with. Thank you for a wonderful week!!

Great house ! Awesome host!! Fantastic holiday!

I had been dreaming of a holiday by a lake for some time and the week spent in this house was my dream come true. The house is really well stocked and clean, with the most amazing views over the lake from 3 different floors... we had a week of perfect weather and spent almost all our time on the lake, which is small but incredibly peaceful. What a way to embrace social distancing !!! It was ideal. It was a week of firsts for our little 7year old - caught his first fish, paddled a canoe, and swam in a lake with no life jacket - he was sad to leave. Most of all and beyond all else was the communication with Joe, who is incredibly reliable, helpful and patient. We had a number of mishaps/ snafus but all of them remedied almost immediately. I would highly recommend this home and hope to return.

Dream Quarantine Escape

This house was perfect for a week away. Our shoulders melted down from our ears from the moment we arrived, and I think we glowed all week. Clean and well stocked with good owner communications, it had everything we were looking for. The lake is big enough for swimming and fishing, not weedy even though it isn’t especially deep, but not so big that it draws a lot of speedboats. Most other residents had pontoon boats that they used as a base for swimming. We enjoyed the dock, the floating platform, the inflatables and the canoe. The decks, especially the main floor deck, are beautifully shaded and breezy. We spent the majority of the week sitting there overlooking the lake. The top floor is a nice adult hideaway with it’s own mini living room, perfect for escaping gaming teens. Couches and beds are comfy, good air conditioning, nice kitchen. I think it’s best for four adults or adult sized people plus a few small kids, any more and you will be climbing over each other. We would definitely book again.

Wonderful!

It was a treat to walk in with everything very very clean! We really enjoyed this spacious property. The 3 levels lend lots of indoor and outdoor spaces, with views and decks to enjoy. Cook inside or out, with tables to do either, as well. Forest Lake is crystal clear! Your own dock, and lake spot at the shoreline. The floating dock, for young ones to jump and swim from, canoe tubes, & chairs makes it fun for all. The owners were a pleasure to communicate with. Thank you for making this vacation rental easy and enjoyable!

Clean and quiet private lake vacation

We had a wonderful week at this lake house. The host, Dana, was excellent at communication and follow through. The house was very clean and extra cleaning supplies were delivered prior to our check in. The kitchen has what you need to cook any meal, including a four burner bbq on the back porch. We enjoyed the many outdoor spaces: front porch, back decks, fire pit, and private beach/dock. Fishing equipment, a canoe, and rafts were in the boat house for our use. We didn’t get around to using the bikes, but nice to know they were there. The house is located on a quiet end of Forest Lake and a great spot to swim. Gorgeous sunsets! We would rent again.

Beautiful, Peaceful & Relaxing

We stayed at this house while visiting my in laws in Fitzwilliam NH. The place is beautiful and has such a great view on a nice quiet (at the time we were there) lake. The water was crystal clear. The house inside is very comfortable and we only wished we spent more time there. Dog friendly which was great for us!

Not same as pictures

The house is nice but not suitable for bunch of friends. It’s actually just one room (which has a Door). They are listed 2, but the second one( on the second floor) has no door so the basement level as well. You are not able to sleep if someone watching TV. No privacy at all. The basement has a couch ( but also no door to count as room) and small room with bunk beds, those beds are for kids only. Trust me, adults can’t sleep there. Also no window, so you feel like you are in a box. Major problem with the dishwasher which wasn’t fixed for the entire stay of 5 days, 4 nights. All 6 of us had to eat in plastic plates breakfast, lunch and dinner for the entire time. Who wants to wash dishes for so many people while on vacation and while spending over $2000 for that house?! Another thing is wasps, spiders and spiders webs everywhere. Yes, everywhere. I know is a house surrounded by lots of trees but hate seeing spiders on every window and door. For the price we pay I thing they should post actual pictures. We didn’t enjoy our vacation there as we thought we would.

Beautiful lake front property!

Open and airy, newer lakefront home with gorgeous views! My husband and his mother plus our two grown sons comfortably stayed here. We enjoyed canoeing, fishing and swimming. Home is comfortable and practical. Owners were especially responsive and reliable. We really enjoyed the whole experience; we hiked in Pisgah State Park, tasted at Sweetwater distillery, enjoyed ice cream at Northfield Creamie and poked around Keene. Highly recommend!
