Great location, the house was very clean, and in the perfect location. Only about 19 minutes to Portsmouth that has some great food. Also the hot tub was great after a long day of hiking.. We will definitely be back!

Such a clean, cozy cabin for a week away! My husband and I loved our stay and everything the cabin had to offer. It has everything you need to cook meals, relax, explore outdoors, and disconnect. There isn’t cell service (was a plus for us), but the internet was great and I was able to work remotely for a few days. The hot tub was a nice bonus too. You’re in the middle of nowhere and still within 15 minutes of driving distance to get groceries or any essentials. Andrea was awesome to communicate with and incredibly helpful. We really enjoyed our stay and look forward to coming back!
