I mean it was ‘ok’

I knew it was a rustic cabin. It says so in the description. However I don’t feel like rustic and dingy are the same. The cabin on surface level was clean. However the amount of pet hair/cobwebs was actually quite gross. We spent the better part of 2 hours just vacuuming dog hair and cob webs up. We had to move the dresser for something that fell behind it and it was disgusting. The ac had a lot of mold in it. We cleaned it as best as we could so we could have it running but definitely left me feeling heebie jeebies. I’m super glad we brought our own camp chairs bc the outside furniture wouldn’t be anything I feel comfortable sitting in. Beat up and dirty. To me unacceptable with the cost of a Walmart outdoor set being less than a couple of hundred dollars. One other thing to note was there is not shade to be drawn in the bathroom. I ended having to use a towel to cover the window. Creepy. Lastly the couch was super uncomfortable to sit on, the cloth material felt dirty. Used another blanket we brought to cover couch with before sitting down. The listing mentioned a few things we did not find. There was no arcade room, outdoor fire place (there was a fire pit) no beach towels or beach loungers, playground? Didn’t see one.Good notes: the actual bed was comfortable, I just laid my sheets on top and we brought our own blankets to use so we didn’t even unmake the bed. The location is absolutely gorgeous! It is as peaceful as the listing says. Price was ok.

Most Beautiful Cabin!

My husband and I arrived with our frenchie Cookie and were immediately delighted! A beautiful cottage right on the lake! We slept so comfortably and relaxed all day while fishing and sitting next to a fire. We met both John and his lovely Mom and their pups! We can’t wait to go back! Thank you for our wonderful stay!

Remote Working Getaway

My husband and I enjoyed a few days working remotely here with our two pups. The cottage was cozy and the views were awesome. We were able to get out on our paddle boards during the day and enjoyed sitting by the fire in the evenings. Hosts were quick to communicate and help us out when a small issue came up. Close to some great breweries and hiking/walking spots. Overall Great stay :)

Extremely relaxing!! Even the dogs approved!!

This was by far the most relaxing vacation we have ever taken! The property is absolutely beautiful, the river is clean, the cabin is comfortable, and the owners are extremely hospitable and helpful while also respecting our privacy. We took our 2 large Dutch Shepherd dogs and I am pretty sure they would have happily stayed there forever! We spent most days fishing, kayaking, hiking (White Mountains and Lake Winnipesaukee are only about a 45 min drive), taking naps in the hammock, exploring town and the Franklin Falls Dam, or swimming with the dogs. We spent most nights grilling dinner and having campfire s'mores. Very quiet area, solitude bliss. Thank you for everything Jane & John!! We will be back! We stayed 7 nights & I could have easily stayed another 7 :)

Beautiful View

Love love love our stay. Waking up to a beautiful view! And it was so peaceful and quiet. We lucked out with the warmer than usual weather for September in NH. The house was as described and pictured and was perfect for the two of us and our dog. The hosts greeted us and made themselves available if we had had any questions/concerns but otherwise left us alone. We were invited to a boat ride/tour and I say it’s a must!! If you get invited- don’t hesitate- go for it! The river is calm and was perfect for paddling and fishing. I recommend, it’s the first place I’ve stayed where I can’t wait to come back again next year!
