Meaghan,
Sounds like you guys had some fun Winter exploring during your stay:) Glad to see you experience different seasons up here. Reality is that no season is the same and lots to explore and experience.
Looking forward to hosting you again.
Happy New Year:)

My friend and I are here for a few months on contract work, and this cabin has been such a gift! Itโs absolutely gorgeous, with charming decor that makes it feel like a little retreat from the world. The large windows in the living room are one of our favorite features. They flood the space with natural light and make everything feel calm and peaceful.Itโs so quiet and serene here during the winter. Tim has thought of everything we could possibly need and then some. Heโs incredibly responsive and kind, and itโs clear he genuinely cares about his guests. We couldnโt recommend this place more!

This is our 2nd stay at the lake house. Everything about this house is just perfect. It has everything you need and more, just pack your clothes and enjoy! Itโs a very peaceful place to just relax and enjoy the lake and scenery. Tim who is the host is very personable and communication is great! We will definitely be returning!
We cannot say enough good things about our stay! The house was lovely and well stocked with essentials. Our host communicated above and beyond with us and We felt at home and enjoyed every minute of it. Even though we went during a cooler time, we absolutely recommend staying here anytime of the year, because Iโm sure itโs even better in the summertime. Will definitely be back!

We had an amazing time at Timโs property. Everything was clean and there were lots of amenities like a keurig, air fryer and crock pot. Beach towels were on site and the kids loved the local beach with floating platform for cannon balls and other fun. We saw a bunch of wildlife! Beautiful, quiet location. Canโt wait to come back!

This house on the pond was exactly what my family needed for a getaway. Very quiet neighborhood, fishing, kayaking, my kids tried paddle boarding. And the beach down the street was awesome! Our host Tim was very accommodating and always available to answer questions. Thanks so much!

Thanks so much,

We all had an excellent time at Timโs house. Kitchen and dining area were great for dinners together and the view is lovely. Although it hit 90 degrees and was very humid a few days it was always comfortable inside the house. Enjoyed the water toys, deck area and the close beach. Tim was very responsive to our questions. Highly recommend.
Great location for a relaxing getaway with easy day trips to Kancamagus Hwy (gorgeous fall colors). We really enjoyed kayaking, and camp fire by the lake. We'll be back.

My friends and I stayed here for a long weekend of board games in mid-July. Great place to chill, be on the lake, and enjoy the scenery! We used the paddle boards to explore the lake and I really enjoyed relaxing in the hammock overlooking the water. Tim was great and very responsive!

This was a great house and location. It was exactly as listed - clean and comfortable with everything you would need. The neighborhood is quiet and great for walking. A short walk up the street is a playground and sandier entry beach into the lake for swimming although we also did a lot of paddling right from the property.

We were looking for a quiet retreat and this is exactly that. The home is as advertised, super clean, and actually better in person. We enjoyed the row boat and kayaks, along with the hammock and evening fires. Itโs a peaceful spot on the lake and the neighbors are friendly. Tim is a great host and was easy to communicate with from the get go! Overall great stay!

Hello Kaitlyn ๐๐ป,
It was a pleasure having you stay at The Lake House Retreat and experience a peaceful time. Thank you for being wonderful guests and canโt wait to have you back again soon:)
Tim
This was by far one of the best houses we ever rented. The perfect location on the lake, sparkling clean house with updated kitchen utensils, new washing machine, all stuff you may need and nothing of what you won't need.
We had a great stay in this house and will definitely want to get back. Thank you, Tim and the housekeeper for this experience.

Thank you for acknowledging the hard work of our housekeeper, she will be delighted. We look forward to hosting your family again soon:)
Tim
The house was great. It is on a little cove just off of the main lake. There are some smaller beaches on the lake that my kids liked as well as a swing set right up the road. Tim was a very responsive host. It is in a fairly isolated region of the state. There isn't much in the surrounding towns but there are a few spots to check out. But if you want to have a staycation at a cute lake house, relax, and not see many people, this is a great option.
This house was perfect. It was clean, and well equipped. Beautiful location. We found so many nearby fall activities. And the foliage was peaking, everywhere was beautiful. The Intervale Pancake House next to Pats Peak has a great breakfast. Hikes in Fox Forest. I enjoyed sitting on the dock in the morning with my coffee and the evening with my wine. If youโre looking for a not too far fall getaway, this place is what you want! Thank you Tim!

Abraham,
Thank you for the kind words and it was a pleasure hosting you and your family; especially the Birthday Girl ๐ ๐ ๐. Iโm happy to host you again, many thanks and see you soon!!
Tim
The house is very nice. It's not too cluttered with decorations so you can move in and feel like its your place. It is well furnished and has all the little things you might forget (even a ground anchor for a dog run!). The back yard is nice and there is plenty of seating to dine outdoors or sit around a fire in the evening. The fishing is great as my two boys pulled in a dozen fish from the dock. The paddleboard and kayaks kept the kids busy. The neighborhood is pleasant and the community beach is close by. We would look for this place again because it was a great rental. Our host, Tim is great and has local resources to handle any issues. This is a nice getaway place and is perfect for a small family. It is one of the best rental houses that we have stayed in while vacationing in New Hampshire.
