The cottage had everything we needed, kitchen items and appliances all clean and working, full bath with shower also very clean. We especially enjoyed the screened in porch. Location was peaceful and quiet, good for walks and swimming. We also enjoyed use of the owner provided kayaks (paddles, life jackets) and chiminea. Since we went in late August the evenings were cool but the blankets provided were sufficiently warm. Also appreciated the off street parking - room for my car and my daughters. I even had a friend for lunch one day and she had room to park as well. Activities are close by - we went to Mt Shannon trail (trailhead at Hidden Valley Scout Camp only a few minutes drive) and the Laconia Rail Bike Excursion which was fun & both good exercise. For a great dinner we recommend Ackerly's Grill & Galley (83 Main St, Alton, NH) and Johnsons Seafood & Steak (69 NH Rte 11, New Durham, NH a little cool bring a sweater).
Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2026
