"What a wonderful place! My dogs and I went on some terrific hikes including Blueberry Mtn. Went kayaking on the Saco as well as the 2 local ponds. Heard the loons a few times during my stay. A very peaceful place! I feel rejuvenated and rested. The house is great & the location is wonderful. I plan to return in the near future."

"We had such a great time here! We loved canoeing on the lake and especially going up into the stream at dusk. The lake was so beautiful. Thank you for letting us bring the dogs; they had so much fun going hiking with us."

"Just a short stay before going back to London, but relaxing and fun. We enjoyed paddling around the lake, exploring the brook and swimming from the pontoon - lovely soft water. ... hiked to some beautiful falls and enjoyed views of the mountains. ... Many thanks for making the house so comfortable."

"2 adults & 4 teenagers - oy! Plenty to keep everyone busy and happy. The two oldest teens checked out the brook early in the a.m. looking for moose. All 4 kayaked & canoed the entire lake. No moose, but the two younger ones saw a bald eagle, and we all enjoyed seeing and listening to the loons. We all trekked up Baldface. The kids did Mt. Washington (via Tuckerman's Ravine). A relaxing day on the Saco was a great way to rest tired legs between the two hikes. This is a great spot"

"When we arrived we were pleasantly surprised how big and beautiful the house was. We enjoyed canoeing in the lake and trying to catch some fish. The kids saw their first beaver (mom too!) We also enjoyed how quiet it was. We had a great vacation -- couldn't be better! Hope to come year after year for some great memories."
