Great location. Quiet, low traffic area. House was spotless. Lake access was easy to get to- we’ve rented at others where you had to be a billy goat to access. Appreciated the dishwasher and availability of an onsite laundry. Nice to be able to chill on back deck, next to lake, or on enclosed back porch. Comfortable seating throughout. Utilized the kiddo’s playroom, along with a stool from kitchen off to attend some work meetings. Wifi was great.

Relaxing Family getaway

This was our 4th year here and our family thoroughly enjoys staying here. The calmness of water and perfect sandy beach for small kids, playroom, great fishing, nice big table for family meals. I love being right on lake so we can pop in and out of house as necessary no driving required. Sue the host is always wonderful and her communication is great.

Beautiful weekend getaway

The property is beautiful and perfect for a weekend away. We loved sitting by the fire and chatting. The only small detail was that there were no towels. I anticipated there wouldn’t be bath towels as we opted to bring our own linens, but didn’t expect that to extend to hand and dish towels as well, just a small heads up for others to note.

Great relaxation

This is our third time staying here and we absolutely love the place and location. There was great fishing and kayaking for me. This time I was recuperating from two surgeries, and can think of no other place. I wanted to recuperate then in the sunroom, reading a book overlooking the water we will definitely be back. I can’t wait till I can get into the water and kayak again. She was very easy to get a hold of the police was very clean and had what we needed.

Great lakeside spot for small kids!

We had a lovely time at Sue’s house. The sandy beach and beach toys were perfect for water play with little kids! And somehow the outdoor shower was about as entertaining as the lake. We really appreciated the pack & play and high chair for our little one. We talked a big game about watching a movie on VHS and never did, but enjoyed the nostalgia of looking through videos on shelves. Had a great time with the kayaks, also. Bonus: lots of loon sounds and sightings!

Lovely grandma's cottage with amazing backyard

This property was everything we were looking for for a family getaway. The interior has a cute grandma's cottage vibe, and the kitchen is well-equipped with all the tools for cooking and grilling. However, the phenomenal outdoor space is what really shines here. The lake is easy for kids, easy to kayak on, and offers beautiful sunrises. Host is a lovely family that was very reachable for all our needs. Toy room and water toys were a hit for our niece. For future travelers, the kitchen has basic spices and oils, but you need to bring your own coffee (drip or kcup). Bring your own toiletries, towels, and sheets. Enjoy! We had a lovely time and hope to go back!

A very excellent vacation!

I highly recommend this lake house! I stayed with my adult kids, and we had a fabulous time. The indoor space is roomy, clean, and comfy, and we felt right at home. Tons of books, movies, games, puzzles. Everything you could think of in the kitchen! Lots of seating areas indoors and out so that we weren't on top of each other all the time. The lake is gorgeous - we could barely see the neighbors' homes and the house is situated in a no-wake zone, so the boats going by were quiet. We spent hours at the the firepit (tons of wood provided), on the deck, dock, and screened in porch, and on the lake in the kayaks. There were bullfrogs in the rushes, a bald eagle soared overhead several times, we heard loons calling every night, and were treated to a brief sighting one afternoon. I was a little concerned that there's no a/c on the lower level, but it stayed very cool, even on the hottest days. Sue was very accommodating (thank you for the early check-in and reminders about renting the kayaks!). She provided thorough information leading up to the trip and a binder full of info about the house, the lake, and the local wildlife.

Perfect family vacation

Sue’s property was perfect for our little family vacation. Great space, safe for toddlers with an amazing toy selection that kept two boys entertained for hours. The small beach is the perfect size for young kids to get comfortable in the water.

Another wonderful year

What you will love: so clean, spotless.The lenai is where we spend so much time sipping our coffee looking over the water. Do you have little kids? The beach area is shallow and wide. Easy to watch over them. Lovely area to walk. Friendly neighbors. We used the association pool when we were there and it was enjoyable. Sue is a great owner to work with. We will be coming here every year!

Beautiful view

Overall I rate this stay 4.5/5 stars. The property was nice and the owner was easy to communicate with, but the only issue I had was the fact that you can only have bed sheets and towels if you spend an extra 75 and request them. I just feel if I am coming to stay in a house somewhere, I shouldn’t have to pay extra to have sheets and towels. Other than that it was a great stay!

Beautiful and comfortable.

Loved every second that I spent here. The screened in porch was my favorite part the chairs were so comfy! The outdoor space was peaceful and safe. I felt at complete ease the whole trip. It was just my bf and I but I would love to bring my kids here sometime as well. The kitchen had everything I needed to cook. Instructions for everything was well communicated. Even a note next to the windows on how to open them and it was so helpful! I really hope I get to stay here again. Just absolutely beautiful home and property.

Wow

We rent a lot of VRBO stays in the New England. We were impressed with this property. Even though it was just the two of of us, this accommodation is for everyone. Very clean, spacious and well appointed. It was off season so was so quiet we felt we were we were the only one for miles. Communication with Sue was excellent. Would definitely book again.

A nice quiet relaxing lake

The property was very clean, and kept up. We locked ourselves outcone day, and the owner had it opened for us by the time we got back. This was our 2nd time staying here, and if we come back to NH again from Florida we might very well stay here again. vack

Favorite rental house

Sue is very easy to communicate with. The property and house are spacious and enjoyable. If you have little ones, the playroom is AMAZING. And for the adults, the screen room looking at the lake is perferct for quiet time. We've been renting summer houses for 15 years and this is one of our favs.

Relaxing week with the family

Comfortable and homey but ample space. The kids (ages 10,13, 14) enjoyed the board games and learning about the VCR technology. I really missed having my regular tv viewing options. I will say though, Sue has awesome taste in movie selections on tape! Unfortunately, the weather wasn't all that great so we didn't spend as much time outdoors as we wanted to. The beach has a shallow incline and is sandy but did have have big patches of algea from time to time that "icked" my girls out but didnt phase my son. The girls loved the association pool though!

Great waterfront property

The property was very clean and well maintained. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need. So quiet and peaceful, at times we felt like we were the only ones at the lake. A beautiful spot to get away from it all. The only drawback is that you have to eventually return home :)
