Absolutely Wonderful Stay!!

We cannot say enough good things about our stay! The house was lovely and well stocked with essentials. Our host communicated above and beyond with us and We felt at home and enjoyed every minute of it. Even though we went during a cooler time, we absolutely recommend staying here anytime of the year, because I’m sure it’s even better in the summertime. Will definitely be back!

My friend and I are here for a few months on contract work, and this cabin has been such a gift! It’s absolutely gorgeous, with charming decor that makes it feel like a little retreat from the world. The large windows in the living room are one of our favorite features. They flood the space with natural light and make everything feel calm and peaceful.It’s so quiet and serene here during the winter. Tim has thought of everything we could possibly need and then some. He’s incredibly responsive and kind, and it’s clear he genuinely cares about his guests. We couldn’t recommend this place more!

Would give 6 stars

We had an amazing time at Tim’s property. Everything was clean and there were lots of amenities like a keurig, air fryer and crock pot. Beach towels were on site and the kids loved the local beach with floating platform for cannon balls and other fun. We saw a bunch of wildlife! Beautiful, quiet location. Can’t wait to come back!

4th of July weekend stay

This house on the pond was exactly what my family needed for a getaway. Very quiet neighborhood, fishing, kayaking, my kids tried paddle boarding. And the beach down the street was awesome! Our host Tim was very accommodating and always available to answer questions. Thanks so much!

Fantastic getaway!

This was a great house and location. It was exactly as listed - clean and comfortable with everything you would need. The neighborhood is quiet and great for walking. A short walk up the street is a playground and sandier entry beach into the lake for swimming although we also did a lot of paddling right from the property.

We all had an excellent time at Tim’s house. Kitchen and dining area were great for dinners together and the view is lovely. Although it hit 90 degrees and was very humid a few days it was always comfortable inside the house. Enjoyed the water toys, deck area and the close beach. Tim was very responsive to our questions.

This was by far one of the best houses we ever rented.

This house was perfect. It was clean, and well equipped. Beautiful location. We found so many nearby fall activities. And the foliage was peaking, everywhere was beautiful. The Intervale Pancake House next to Pats Peak has a great breakfast. Hikes in Fox Forest. I enjoyed sitting on the dock in the morning with my coffee and the evening with my wine. If you’re looking for a not too far fall getaway, this place is what you want! Thank you Tim!

Great house

The house was great. It is on a little cove just off of the main lake. There are some smaller beaches on the lake that my kids liked as well as a swing set right up the road. Tim was a very responsive host. It is in a fairly isolated region of the state. There isn't much in the surrounding towns but there are a few spots to check out. But if you want to have a staycation at a cute lake house, relax, and not see many people, this is a great option.

Nice getaway place

The house is very nice. It's not too cluttered with decorations so you can move in and feel like its your place. It is well furnished and has all the little things you might forget (even a ground anchor for a dog run!). The back yard is nice and there is plenty of seating to dine outdoors or sit around a fire in the evening. The fishing is great as my two boys pulled in a dozen fish from the dock. The paddleboard and kayaks kept the kids busy. The neighborhood is pleasant and the community beach is close by. We would look for this place again because it was a great rental. Our host, Tim is great and has local resources to handle any issues. This is a nice getaway place and is perfect for a small family. It is one of the best rental houses that we have stayed in while vacationing in New Hampshire.
