The quintessential lakefront cottage.
An experience we will treasure always. Ruth and Seth were wonderful to work with from the get go and made everything simple, creating a perfect experience for all. Their lovely lakefront cottage seemed almost as if it were prepped in a Hollywood studio. The sites, sounds and smells were those of a quintessential New Hampshire lakefront cottage. We spent the week of July 4th enjoying their jewel on Ossipee Lake with our four children. The cottage was perfectly equipped for an out-of-state family. We wanted for absolutely nothing. My brothers pontoon boat made easy pit stops on the dock just off the sandy private beach. A wonderful grassy expanse between the cottage and beach made for a perfect wiffle ball field. The fire pit was enjoyed for late night s'mores and firework viewing around the big lake. Our only complaint is that the week came and went far too quickly! Thank you Ruth for everything. We hope to be back next year!
Great Cottage
Located on the best part of the lake with large sandy beach and gradual waterfront. Beautiful views and sunrises. Very clean and spacious. The owners are very responsive and want to ensure your experience is a good one. Loved it!
Great Escape
This house suited our family vacation to a tee. The location was great - easy on/off Route 16, yet secluded and very quiet. The views from the house/beach were breathtaking. The beach was a good size and never felt crowded even when the neighbors were out. The house itself was very clean, well appointed, and even more spacious than it appears in the pictures. It's obvious that the owners take great pride in their home and have really thought of everything when it comes to their renters' needs. In a perfect world, there'd be one more bathroom; other than that it's as good as it gets!
Cottage Girls

Cottage was super clean and has lots of space!
Review of cottage on Lake Ossipee, NH
I've rented this cottage for a week or two for the past 10 years. It's one of my favorite places on earth. The view from the cottage is gorgeous. The beach and yard are quiet and private. It is also partly shaded, so that you can be in the sun or the shade. Members of my family climbed mountains including Mt. Washington. Others climbed Foss Mountain to pick blueberries. Children create their own fun on the beach and in the water. I enjoy relaxing on the beach and watching the fun. Boat rentals are available on the lake but we didn't rent one this year. Lake is great for canoes and kayaks if you have either. We ate lunch on the beach most days and dinner several times, but there is a large table inside and a small one in the kitchen for breakfast. Comfortable beds with new linens. The photos are accurate and the owners are most helpful.
AMAZING
The house was very well kept and stocked. The yard, fire pit, and grill made for some extremely fun times. The beach was amazing and the neighbors were friendly. The water was amazing. The bedroom set up was awesome it keeps everyone close but yet private at the same time. It was an amazing experience and I hope to return sometime in the future. The only negatives are the neighbors are extremely close. Also the sand bar where a lot of people is a long paddle (we had kayaks).
