Lovely place for our family of six to stay. 2 of the 4 bedrooms do not have A/C units, but folks found those rooms comfortable with the multiple fans provided. Our family very much enjoyed the swimming dock 4 minutes down the road. Plenty deep for cannonballs and cool water swims. We did our beach days at the state park beaches, as the one in walking distance wasn’t the nicest. We loved having mini golf, multiple ice cream spots, restaurants, and shaded benches and picnic tables overlooking the lake all within a 5-10 walk. The house was comfortable and had all the basics (with the exception of a grilling spatula). Would certainly stay here again!

Great house.... great location.

Great house with everything you would need. Perfect location. Even the neighbors were great... talked to 3 different ones while there for our five days. Highly recommend if the description and pictures are what you are looking for because they are accurate.

Great Cottage . Great location. Zero issues

Great Cottage that fulfilled our needs and was exactly as described and in the photos. Multiple options for where you want to hang out .....outside deck, screened in outside porch and nice kitchen area... etc. Neighbors were great.... talked to three different ones during our five day stay. Diane across the street was very nice.
Such a photogenic house
Our little buddy "Nutshell" came along for the trip. He approved.👍

The cabin is well furnished. We had a leaky toilet (the only toilet in the cabin was leaking from the base on the floor). Staff were quick to respond and scheduled a plumber to make a repair. Repairs were completed the next day late morning or afternoon (it was still leaking when we left for our day trip to Ogunquit, ME and was repaired when we returned in the evening). There was a definite musty smell as soon as you enter-maybe, and hopefully related to the leaky toilet? Front porch was great. Parking would be very tricky for 2 vehicles - we could parallel park our single vehicle and seem to be off the road, but I would have been worried parking 2 vehicles in the space.

Lazy Loon Cottage

We had a wonderful time at the cottage. It was very clean, roomy, nicely decorated with lake & nature themes - bears, moose, loons. Even though it's not right on the lake, we could see the lake from the deck and it was a short walk away. There was a/c and either a ceiling fan or standing fan so everyone could adjust the air in their room to their liking. The kitchen is very nice with just about everything you need. Overall the house is clutter free so it was easy for us to keep track of the stuff we brought. There were plenty of towels and it was handy to have a washer/dryer. The only downside per se was the parking as there are only 2 spots for the cottage. So we spent some time trying to figure that out. It worked out in the end. All in all, we very much enjoyed our stay at this cottage in beautiful Alton, NH.
