Peaceful Spot

We appreciated the calm and quiet of this rental! The view from the porch was very nice. The host was easy to communicate with and very responsive. Our kids loved swimming in the lake and the swinging chair on the porch. The beds were very comfortable and we were able to cook in and eat out. We’d recommend additional lighting in the TV room (once the sun went down it was pretty dark!) and renters should be aware that although the smart tv has Netflix, etc you need to have your own accounts to watch anything on tv. We would have liked to try kayaking but could only find one paddle. Overall this was a good rental!

Family Downtime in NH

The house at Locke Lake was clean and very comfortable and provided more than we expected in terms of the small amenities. We really appreciated all the small conveniences from towels and linens to cleaning supplies and toiletries. Our weather wasn’t ideal, but we really enjoyed family time downstairs shooting pool, playing games on the screened in porch, savoring ice cream in Alton Bay and just reading a few good books.
