This newly renovated family-friendly home faces West which allows for phenomenal waterfront sunset views. An expansive deck leads down to a sandy beach area with walk-in water access (perfect for younger children and launching your kayak), and a large dock (which can hold a boat up to 20-25 ft).

The open-layout (living room, kitchen, dining area and 4-season porch seating) is perfect for comfortably hosting 8 people (perfect for two families) and offers lake views from just about every seat. The entire home has been newly renovated (2016); new carpet (in bedrooms), new hardwood floors downstairs, updated, fully-equipped kitchen with dishwasher, and fresh paint in every room.

Bedroom 1 (downstairs): Queen bed and full-sized futon.
Bedroom 2 (upstairs): The "bunk room" - twin bed with twin trundle, and a twin over full bunk bed (4 beds total)
Bedroom 3 (upstairs): This is a huge master suite with a small deck overlooking the lake. It includes a king bed and a sitting area with a pull-out bed (unfolds to queen bed). The sitting area is great for game-playing, watching TV, and/or quiet relaxing. Perfect spot for children to hang out for some down time!
Bathroom 1 (downstairs): includes shower stall
Bathroom 2 (upstairs): very large bathroom, includes bath tub and shower combo.

Great location for all seasons. In addition to summer water activities enjoy: great trails for hiking (right out your front door); summer activities and winter skiing at Mount Sunapee (just 20 minutes away); leaf peeping in the fall; ice-skating & snowmobiling in the winter.

Magical Getaway

This is our fourth time staying at this beautiful lakeside home. As always the house was warm and welcoming for a group of five adults. The kitchen well stocked for nights of cooking and BBQs. But most importantly is the Deck/Dock I call it. The views of the lake, the tranquility of the setting and the stars at night were simply magical from the dock. Everyone including my two pups enjoyed the rest and relaxation we got! Thanks again and we will be back!

Wonderful Week At Myles Away

This is a wonderful, comfortable house in a beautiful setting. There are stunning views from inside the house and out. Although there were only 2 of us and our pup, the house could easily accommodate a large family. We explored the area daily and took the pedal boat out every afternoon. Lovely!

Wonderful space for family

Myles Away was very clean, bright, and welcoming. We spent a lot of time on the large deck over the water swinging in the hammock chairs and relaxing as a family. We have a two and a half year old and there were plenty of toys for her to play with, and the water access was also perfect for her. This house came with everything we needed. The beds were also very comfortable. Wonderful stay, thank you.

Lovely home right on the water

Such a nice, well kept home right on the water. Crescent lake was beautiful and the huge deck was perfect for relaxing and hanging out during the day. We used the kayaks and it was great to putter around the lake. I also appreciated how well organized and clear everything at the house was. Will definitely book again!

Great vacation home

Everything you could have asked for in a vacation home. The house was cute and well decorated. It was fully stocked from kitchen gadgets to puzzles and games. The deck over the water was the absolute best part. The built in retractible gates was also an awesome plus. Would highly recommend this place. We did NOT want to leave.

Beautiful views, comfortable and spacious home!

This was our first time at Crescent Lake, the Myles Away home was beautifully renovated and spacious. Perfect for our two families. The dock was great, and lots of fishing fun to be had! One of our favorite destinations were the waterfalls, this is a perfect spot for a fun outing just down the road. We also took all the kids to Mt. Sunapee, and bought the day pass for the ropes course, disc golf, etc. it was a blast for the kids and adults!

Miles Away/Myles Away

If you are looking to get away from it all, this is your time away! A calm, peaceful place that cradled us for a week of solitude. The maples arch over the rock encrusted deck for a full day of shade. Plenty of watercraft. Three of us caught and released 38 sunfish off the dock. It is “miles away” from urban centers. Enjoy your time away!

Fantastic!!

The Myles Away lakefront property is beautiful as well as functional! The home was exactly as it appears in the photos. Spacious, immaculate and fully equipped with all the amenities you could think of. It was so wonderful to just head out back and be able to have access to the clean lake, kayaks, canoe and paddle boat. Everything was in excellent working order and the communication provided by K. T. prior to our trip was exceptional! I have rented several properties and this one was the total package! The owners have gone above and beyond in creating a welcoming atmosphere for their guests. I felt as if we were staying in the home of a family member who personally knew me and anticipated all of my needs before I even asked. I spend many hours looking for the perfect vacation spot and I truly found it at Myles Away! I would not hesitate to recommend this property and I look forward to returning in the future.

The perfect rental property - everything you could need, none of what you don't!

My colleagues and I stayed here for a week in January 2017 and couldn't have been happier with the accommodations. Chris and K.T. were incredibly easy to book with, and flexible with us. The day before our arrival we were provided with a digital welcome packet (that contained all of the information I am usually scrambling to find the day of our arrival) so I could inform my co-workers of the address, door code, wifi password, etc in advance and avoid the usual check-in day frustrations. The home is impeccably maintained, phenomenally decorated, and every single amenity we could have needed was provided. We were even able to use the grill on the back deck one night! I was grateful our hosts hadn't pulled the propane tank and covered it for the winter. The master bedroom is enormous and the bed is hands down the most comfortable bed I've ever slept on (with amazing sheets to match!). We can't wait to return!!

Our stay at Myles Away property on Crescent Lake, New Hampshire was perfect for our family of six.

The weather was perfect for most of the week and we all enjoyed the outdoors experience. The canoe, kayaks and pedal boat together with lifebelt for our year old grandson Oliver, were all wonderful. The children's toys under the deck and on the beach were ideal for his stage in life. Our lunches on the deck and the restful afternoons in a hammock or hanging chairs were delightful and the sunsets gorgeous. The seating areas on the deck and dock were well set out and we were grateful for the safety gate installed on the deck, keeping our grandson safe. The spaciousness of the interior of the very attractive lake house made our stay very comfortable and the very well equipped kitchen a pleasure to be in. The bedrooms and beds were comfortable, the décor pretty and the bathrooms were adequate for all the family needs. We enjoyed the closed in porch area for our family breakfasts and dinners and the beautiful views out to the lake with fireworks on the fourth!! The laundry area was very useful with a well appointed washer, drier and tub and the general cleanliness of the house very good. Thank you for the many comforts, the TV for the evenings, the games and the internet, though reading was bliss too! As far as comments and suggestions, here go a few: We noticed on various uses of the dishwasher that the latch or locking system did not always hold, hence the programs did not always work and performance at times erratic. The odor from the drains was also very strong. The mesh sliding screen on to the deck was at times snagged in the top plastic runner and might have to be changed? On arrival at the lake house we found the deck, dock and front stoop to be very covered in tree debris and needed a good sweep and hose down. Also the window frames on opening the windows for air needed a good clean. A few ceiling fans would have been appreciated just to circulate the air and remove some of the afternoon heat. On a final note we wish to thank KT and Chris for a very cute Lake House and to say we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Best wishes to you and many happy days on Crescent Lake. The Hughes Schaefer family (party of six) from Florida and Mas.

Heaven!

We had a wonderful time. The deck/dock is fabulous and we spent most of our time here from drinking our morning coffee to sunbathing, floating in the lake, and watching the sunset. This well stocked home had everything that we needed for our stay. I can't imagine a better place to have stayed during the heatwave. The lake felt refreshing but not cold and we were in and out of the water all day.

Another Stay in Fall Splendor

The property was just as wonderful as the first time we stayed 2 years ago. The location is beautiful, private and peaceful with amazing views and plenty of amenities. There is not much you can think of needing that isn't provided - the kitchen is well set up and stocked, there are tons of games and puzzles and books, and even though it was chilly my daughter was able to take the pedal boat out on the lake. Chris and K.T. are easily reached and very helpful if you have any questions or issues. Claremont is about 20 minutes away, and had more to offer than during our previous stay in terms of restaurants and groceries, if you must venture out! We drove through the fall colors to Woodchuck Cider House in Vermont for cider tasting - it was a long trip but worth the effort! Thanks so much, we will be back!

Perfect Lake home

My family and I had a wonderful time at Myles Away. The house was well appointed with all you could need. Lots of games, books, lake toys and all the little extras you don’t always think of (sunscreen,bug spray, beach towels, pack n play, baby gates were such a great help etc). We felt right at home and enjoyed the property immensely. Clean, comfortable, we can’t wait to go back. King bed was comfy, kids bunk room was perfect, decks were wonderful, easy access lake entry with a nice clean entry (weed free) to the main part of the cove. Quiet, quiet, quiet. Neighbors all very friendly with my 2 sons. No AC, but adequate fans for all rooms; the owners have truly thought of everything. Netflix access on main tv for the rainy days helped keep little one’s happy for a bit. Dog friendly was a huge plus. Our golden had so much fun swimming all day and lounging on the dock all night. Large dog crate provided was a huge help! Thanks!

The perfect Lake Stay

Our family had a wonderful time here enjoying Crescent Lake. The house was complete with plenty of entertainment including a fire pit, outdoor and indoor games, a paddle boat, kayaks, and a canoe. The outside dock area made for a great space to enjoy splendid scenery and quality time with family. My favorite moments were spent sitting with my feet in the water watching my dog try to catch a fish. The water temperature was perfect and even though it did get warm in the house by late afternoon/ early evening- it does cool off at night. We would recommend this house to anyone looking to enjoy themselves on a lake.

This property is fabulous in every way. Its all the best parts of camping on a lake but with a beautiful house and all the amenities and none of the yucky, uncomfortable or exhausting parts of camping.

Beautiful home

We loved renting this property. The house itself was beautiful and the location was amazing. There were plenty of places to sit and relax in and outside of the house. The house itself stayed cool and was very comfortable during our stay. There was plenty for us to do such as kayaking, pedal boat, and paddle boarding. The lake itself was very quiet which was perfect for relaxing and watching the sunset. We loved this stay and would recommend it to anyone.
