Our stay

The house is very nice however, the floors are a little slanted and uneven. The bathtub has no grip handle and we found it a little uncomfortable getting in and out. The bathmat smelled moldy, luckily we bought our own and did not use theirs.When taking a shower, the bathtub did not drain well it filled up to about 3 inches while taking a shower. One of the chairs in the dining area is wobbly because the screw underneath looks loose, we did not use that chair. I left it in the corner of the dining area. The first window blind behind the club chairs in the living room popped off while I was pulling it down. The air conditioner that is in the little room next to the master bedroom was not connected. The hose was just sitting in there next to it and when I went to connect it, I noticed the filters were filthy so I cleaned them and I left them next to the sink on the counter countertop. Last thing, the blind in the little room by the bedroom doesn’t close. We had a great time and the house is really cute. The view is awesome too. Thank you.

Quaint & Cozy Cottage

My husband and I stayed here during our 1st trip to NH for my son's graduation for SNHU; we were located centrally to everywhere we needed to go; the home was welcoming, cozy and comfortable; we settled in for our week stay quickly; we had everything we needed, except for patio furniture for the sweet deck area; it was due in the week after our stay, but we bought a couple of inexpensive chairs to utilize during our stay; which we left of course for the next guests; we absolutely loved everything about this house and how it sits "ON" the water; the views were breathing taking and quiet; we would absolutely stay again if we make it back to the northeast area; if I had to make a suggestion, it would be to add additional TV in one of the bedrooms, but other than that we had a terrific time.

Cute and quaint.

The property exceeded expectations. There's nothing like opening the front door and looking out the back window at the lake. I wish we could have stayed longer. The first morning I texted the owner and got a response from them within 10-15 minutes. That's great as far as I was concerned. We were very happy with our stay there.

Comfortable little house on the lake

Overall, we were happy with our stay. We were there in the winter, so we didn't get to enjoy the lake. The house was great as a launch point between Boston and the mountains.The house is literally on the lake. Water touches the lake side of the house. When we were there, the lake was frozen and beautiful.The house was well stocked and perfectly ready for us. There's plenty of parking. It's an older house, so the ceilings can be low and the floors are sometimes uneven. But the main room is vaulted, spacious and wonderful.Our only complaint is that it's listed as "sleeps 6". We came with 5 and that was a stretch. There's a main bedroom, a smaller secondary bedroom, and a pullout in the main room. If the secondary bedroom had a double bed in it, then "sleeps 6" would be accurate, if tight.

Late Fall Stay

We stayed for our daughter's wedding and the location was 10 minutes from the venue. The stay was nice but I didn't realize there was no dishwasher - which meant "KP" duty for us. The '4' rating is because there was no working sink stopper - which meant dishes had to be washed in a big bowl - plus the sink faucet is plumbed backward - making us think there was no hot water!

Cute lake house

Largely, it was quite nice. The description inferred that it would have no steps and I thought it would be ADA friendly. While there are no steps, there is NO chair with arms that would allow a person with limited mobility to stand and sit safely. that was disappointing. More disappointing was the phone call to the property manager where I informed him that the toilet seat was loose and sliding sideways and did ask if a chair with arms was available. His answer was that neither could be managed during our stay.

Beautiful stay on the lake

Beautiful little lake house. It was a perfect stay for me and my fiancé. We really enjoyed our time out on the canoe and it was so peaceful throughout our stay. With the neighbors close by it still felt like we had so much privacy. A perfect romantic getaway
