Perfect stay!
We had a perfect weekend at this lakeside cottage! We were in town for our son's graduation from UNH, and needed a home that was large enough for grandparents and ourselves. This was a perfect place for us to relax, unwind, and enjoy some family time! The listing is accurate, and there was nothing extra that we could have wanted. We have stayed at many rental homes in the past, but this is the first time that I can honestly say that all we needed to bring were our clothes and food. There were plenty of towels (both bath towels and beach towels), and an entire closet of extra bedding. The kitchen was well stocked with anything you could have needed to cook, and we were surprised with a little snack basket and k-cups for the Keurig. Toilet paper, paper towels, hand soap, dish soap, shampoo, conditioner, and bodywash were all provided as well. We were able to use the kayaks and paddleboat (plenty of life vests and water shoes were also available to us), and the hot tub, pool table, and karaoke machine kept us plenty busy while it was raining. The host was easy to communicate with both before an during our stay. Would highly recommend!

Great for a getaway
The house is beautiful and spotless. So many different sitting areas inside and out. The house has so many amenities that we didn’t feel like we were missing anything. The host was very responsive and accommodated our requests. Looking forward to our next girl’s weekend trip, that I have already rebooked.

Absolutely beautiful house
My sister and I took our daughter's on a little getaway and this house had everything we needed. We all had our own space and traveling with 3 teens space is important. There's plenty of stuff to do at the house we didnt feel we had to go find something. The hosts were great to communicate with. Would stay here again and recommend to others.

New Year's Family Gathering
We try to get together twice per year now that the kids are grown and out on their own. Ed and Leatha are phenomenal hosts. This place has everything! My husband brought all the ingredients to make his famous family chili but forgot to bring the crock pot- no worries! There was not one but two crock pots! Seriously, all you need to bring is your loved ones and make your memories. We have some great ones from our stay here. Thank you Ed and Leatha :)

Wedding Week
We stayed at the lake house for my daughters wedding held nearby in Durham. Perfect place to accommodate us and try to keep us calm with views of the lake and little ducklings. Unfortunately we were too busy to enjoy all the home had to offer but we will be back!
