Cute place, perfect for a mother-daughter getaway. Comfy beds, all the essentials, right on the lake. Lots to do in the area-we had a great time!

Location was nice right in front of the lake and we took advantage of the kayaks. Shower was very small and cottage a bit rustic but for the location and price was great.

Family Vacation

We go here every year for at least one week. The owners are super nice and get back to us right away with any questions. We go kayaking and swimming every day and enjoy our time there. Can’t wait until next year!

This was a great place for a quick getaway on the water! The cabin is rustic but has everything you could need for a simple stay. The lake beach is lovely and the water sport offerings are wonderful! Nancy was really nice and responsive. We did have an issue with a circuit break, but she came and did a quick fix that night at 9 when we discovered the issue and they came to fully resolve the next day. Would highly recommend for an affordable stay with perfect lake views!

Summer Vacation

We rented the orange cottage for a week. Cute cottage! Very relaxing. Enjoyed taking the kayak out on the lake. We had no problems when we were there. Met Nancy and Lee - very nice people. Definately worth the price for a week! Would rent again for a quiet getaway!

A week of relaxation

This is our third time staying here and what a week we had. We swam, kayaked and played games of clue on the front porch. We love it here for the lake and the charm the cabing has, but most importantly the owners are amazing. They greet us when we arrive like old friends and are available for any need that may arise. If you are looking for a true new hampshire summer vacation experience.....look no further than the rainbow caibs on harvey lake

Just the relaxation we needed

We stayed on this property last year for a weekand and knew we had to come back and do a week. The view from our cabin was magical and or week was filled with swimming, fishing and so many great family memories. The owners are amazing even coming within minutes when our propane tank to the grill was empty. This will not be our last time coming here we are definitely going to make this a yearly tradition.

Right on beautiful lake!

We had a wonderful time at "orange" cottage. Kayaks, chairs. paddle board, etc were provided to use when on lake. Owners were amazing in making sure our stay is enjoyable. We would love to come back again! Thank you for your excellent hospitality!

FYI: Owners are not on site & do not "manage" well...we got there & lights to our cottage did not work...neither did TV & owner knew this--never fixed it but she did get lights working by 6:30 at night (with help from my husband)...screen door of cottage was ripped open...other people's dogs were not controlled or on leashes...took three times asking to get that taken care of and it still was a battle...dog feces were all around & beach was littered with trash until my husband & I picked it up....disappointing for $75 a night. We will not return next year.
Response from VrboOwner on Jan 15, 2021
Thank you for your comments. While it's true we both have full time jobs and do not spend all of our free time at the cottage, we do come by several times per week and are always available by phone. Like you, we are horrified to find that other guests sometimes can't pick up after themselves or control their pets....and we did speak with them about it. We aren't sure what was wrong with the television as we weren't told about it, though it is DISH network, which seems prone to problems. (We are looking into Direct TV based upon your comments). Please thank your husband for installing the lightbulb, and helping Nancy fix the lights :) We apologize that your stay was not up to your expectations, but appreciate that you still thought it deserved "3 stars". We get better every day and hope you will be back to vacation with us again. Thanks!, Nancy and Lee
