We had a lovely stay! Kevin was an excellent host answering questions and helping us when we needed information. The place was perfectly clean and comfortable and exactly as the listing shows. We came for a family reunion and this was the perfect place for my little family to stay to have our own place. All amenities we needed right at our fingertips. We especially enjoyed the fancy beach chairs! I would highly recommend this location for a stay in Wolfeboro

Perfect Getaway- highly recommended!!
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this property! This was our first time visiting NH and from the moment we arrived, we felt right at home. The house was spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, and exactly as described in the listing.The location was ideal – peaceful and quiet, yet just a short drive from restaurants, shops, beach etc. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed. It was clear the hosts put a lot of thought into the little details. We needed to use the kitchen frequently to cook food for our three year old toddler and i was planning on buying a bunch of cooking supplies but once we reached there I realized the host had supplied us everything we needed!! That saved us trips to the store.Communication with the host was smooth and prompt. They were friendly, accommodating, and made sure we had everything we needed for an stress-free stay. They extended our check out time by a few hours which was really helpful for us.Another detail we absolutely loved was they had an electronic guestbook with detailed notes and YouTube video instructions on how to use specific appliances. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable vacation. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!⸻Let me know the specifics of your stay (e.g., location, amenities, host interaction) and I can tailor this review to fit it even better.
