A week by the lake

This cabin is so comfortable. Location is great. We had our coffee down by the lake or on the back porch every day. Albert is very eady to work with. The last night we made sure to have a lakeside fire. Beautiful.

The cottage is nicely updated and well cared for inside as well as stocked with everything needed for a comfortable stay for a small group which is exactly as described and photographed. We enjoyed the proximity to all local attractions. We also spent a good deal of our time kayaking the lake from the private access the cottage provides. Albert was a friendly and responsive host, including alerting us to the unexpected but appreciated availability of an early check-in. Cheering you on as you continue bringing new life to this little gem outdoors! Thank you for a great stay.

Another Great Decision

Our 2nd year in a row staying at this property and we intend to return again next year. Perfect sized house for our family of 4 with everything we needed to comfortably stay the week. The lake is gorgeous and they had plenty of well maintained toys (canoe, kayaks, paddleboards) to emjoy the water. There is a short walk to the dock but feels like a private island when you are out there. Thank you for another week of great memories.

Easy communication with host. Very clean inside with comfortable beds. Little bit of a jaunt to the lake but easily doable if not handicapped. Dock and lake area complimentary with kayaks, paddle boards and canoe. Caught a plethora of yellow perch, white perch and a few bluegills out and about on the kayaks. Great fishing results for a non-fisherman. Location a bit rural but groceries and town only a few miles away. Overall very positive.

The cottage is cozy and very nicely updated. The setting is beautiful and relaxed, away from all the busy tourism up north for the Fall colors. However, still less than 1 hr drive to tourist hotspots. Communication with the property manager was excellent.managerwas excellent.

Sweet little cottage

This cottage is small but comfortable and boasts everything that's needed. Being on the lake was wonderful and we greatly appreciated having the canoe for afternoon "turtle safaris". The house is a little close to a semi-busy road, but that also meant that we weren't too far from good food and shopping. Overall, a delightful stay in NH!

Lake Cabin

My family and I were impressed by the attention to detail in this cottage. Everything in the home is well thought out and you are provided with everything you need. Kayaks and paddle boards are included and located right by the boat launch. There is a nice area to build a fire and a picnic table by the lake. The owner is responsive to messages and very welcoming.

Perfect spot on a quiet lake

House was immaculate inside with nice back porch, grill and gas fireplace. A bit of a walk to the water but had its own firepit, picnic table, and newer metal dock with incredible views. 15-20 min to Weirs and Laconia. Only a few pontoons and no speed boats/jet skiis on the lake which made for relaxing fishing and fun on the water. Responsive hosts.

Great stay on Hermit Lake

We loved our stay at this cottage on the lake. The host was very responsive to any questions. The property was awesome. The set up by the lake in both spots is so relaxing. We fished off the dock and enjoyed the canoe, kayak and paddle boards during our stay. The cottage is ver comfortable. We were 5 adults and we were all comfortable. It is small but it did not have any of us feeling we were on top of each other. Best trip in a while. We look forward to staying at this property again in the future hopefully.

Cozy Cottage on the Lake

We thoroughly enjoyed our two weeks at Hermit Lake. The lake is beautiful, with many small islands; most other visitors are weekenders, so on the weekdays we felt like we had it mostly to ourselves. Cottage is immaculate, and so well appointed and equipped with comforts that it didn't feel small at all: the kitchen is well stocked with appliances and spices, and it was nice to have use of washer/dryer. The sound of the brook (on neighboring property) from the deck is lovely! On rainy days we appreciated the proximity of stores and restaurants in nearby towns. All in all, a cozy, relaxing getaway.

Cozy quiet cottage with lake dock

This property has a private lake frontage with a secluded firepit by the lake and a dock for boarding a canoe, kayaks, and paddleboards, all provided. There is no sandy beach on the property but there is a good beach on the lake, open to the public. The fishing in Hermit lake is good, especially for crappies, yellow perch, and bluegills. There are reportedly largemouth bass and pickerel, but I did not catch those. We saw loons This is a great place for a family to enjoy a lake experience.

Lovely Little Cottage

This little cottage was packed with everything needed for our long weekend getaway. Our children are 11/12 and had a blast using the kayaks and paddle boards on the lake, as did my husband and I. This home was drivable to many great hikes. We came to hike Mount Washington and it was only about an hour drive to our trailhead. Beds were incredibly comfortable, home was very clean, and kitchen was well stocked with all we needed to cook at home. The washer and dryer were a bonus to have after our long hiking days. I really don’t think there is more we could have asked for….except more time. Thank you for a wonderful and memorable stay!

We had a blast!

My husband & I went with our daughter and son in law for a 3 night stay at Albert's fabulous cabin. What the front yard seemed to lack in curb appeal upon arrival, the back of the property more than made up for it, with a well-established path leading down to the water, an adorable wooden bridge & more than a few stairs. No one in our party has health issues & we found the, probably 2 minute jaunt, enjoyable, but it's something to keep in mind if considering this property. If any of us had a bad knee, or bum back, it would have posed a problem getting down to the dock & boat launch area. Every morning I sat at the fire pit by the water & it truly felt like being in a postcard. Every night, we had a fire & watched the almost- full-moon reflect off the water as it came up from behind the pines. It was magical. Speaking of magical, the kids & my husband had a moose sighting one morning from the back deck with their morning coffee! I missed that though since I slept in late that day, enjoying the very comfortable queen size bed, great bedding and quiet atmosphere. The cabin is very sweet inside. The furnishings are simple & perfect. The furniture is comfortable, the appliances were clean and worked well. The kitchen sink & convenient island made whipping up meals a breeze. We ate on the deck which had plenty of comfy chairs, a table & nice couch that was covered upon arrival. The grill worked great too. It was perfect. We loved our stay. ed stablished path awelestablipath
