Lemon Drop

We enjoyed our second stay at the Lemon Drop. The owners are in process of renovation. The house is now a true lemon color. The host is very accessible and responsive to any issue. The space was reorganized this year to a more functional style. It works well as a pied a terre when visiting the Monadnock area.

Cute little place

It was a cute place in convienent location with a great back yard view. They're working on the place so there is construction material around it. Inside the layout is a little funky and it was a little dusty. It was quiet and worked well for needs

So cute!!

My boyfriend and I came here for a new years weekend getaway! We wanted to relax and enjoy nature while getting away from the craziness of life. Everything here was so great, just like the pictures only better! We walked in to a cozy little cottage with a candle lit for us which was a nice touch. Everything we needed was there, and more. There were binoculars to look at the wildlife…we saw several deer and a bobcat!!! The place was clean and decorated so cute! Kathy was the perfect mix of being there for us when we had questions and giving us our space to unwind! Couldn’t have asked for anything better!!
