Wonderful open living space for family gatherings. Host is easy to reach with great communication. Quiet area that was very relaxing. We delighted in watching the birds visiting the bird feeder just outside the kitchen window.

Come for the Privacy - Stay for the Birds!
The property is beautiful inside and out and includes all the basics you might need except food and a toothbrush. It's close to services but far enough away to feel secluded. If you download the Merlin Bird ID app, you can sit on the deck, watch the birds, and have the app identify them by their call. This house can sleep 6 adults and is definitely the best Vrbo around!

This house was on a beautiful property. Loved all the greenery. The house was super clean and comfortable. My husband and I, aling with 3 grown boys enjoyed our stay. It was close to family in Concord, Portsmouth, and many restaurants.
