It is a cute, cozy, clean and humble place with a touch of a taste. The most important part of staying in here was being dog-friendly without having strict rules. I had everything I needed at the place and the location is so centralized to explore the lakes region. I have a workout routine and Guilford Hills(sport facility) is in front of the house, thus I did avoid sacrificing my routine as well. Thanks for the hospitality!

The cleanliness could have been better. Susan was a very attentive host, and the cottage was in walking distance to the concert venue which is exactly what we wanted. Overall it was a good place to stay. Just needs a little more attention to the cleaning. I would stay again.

So happy you enjoyed your stay, and that you would stay with us again. Yes the house was thoroughly cleaned , and I remember the guest telling me about dust but it was actually pine pollen season and everything outside was covered in yellow pine pollen. Im not surprised that some could get in through the screens during that time. Thank goodness that has past.

Cozy and charming cottage

Everything about this day was wonderful. From the communication at the time of booking regarding our dog to the open line of communication during our travel to New Hampshire. Susan was very quick to respond to any inquiries and also very helpful with suggestions of places to go and other Insider secrets. The cottage itself is charming and cozy. Just enough room for my husband and I with our small dogs. One bedroom with a comfortable bed and adequate air conditioning. A galley style kitchen with everything we needed including a dorm size refrigerator and freezer. A generous living room with a very comfortable couch and Fire TV. A small bathroom with a stand-up shower that had provided shower gel, shampoo and conditioner. Clean soft towels. Everything that we could need was at our fingertips. It was clean. It was comfortable and it was so convenient to everywhere we wanted to go including Weir's Beach, Meredith and the state parks. Can't say enough about our hosts and would definitely stay here or one of their other properties again.

Small

Its small, needs better cleaning and needs updating. Online it said it was a house and updated. It was not updated and its not a house. Its a cottage, smaller than it looks online and no grass in the enclosed yard. There was no where to sit outside under cover from rain or the sun. I found and old bone under the couch. It was very old so that tells me the cleaner never moves the couch to sweep or vacuum under it. The mirror in the livingroom was very dirty. I was gonna clean it but decided not to. We paid for a week and left half way through the vacation. We weren't comfortable, not much to do with our dogs so we left. We spent the rest of our vacation at home, in our pool and went to dinner a coupke time and played cards. The owners are very nice people and very attentive. We'll do day trips from now on.

Not sure what Linda was expecting as the house is exactly the same as it iis in the pictures. Sorry to hear she found a dog bone under the couch, we are pet friendly. I always ask guests the day of check in and the day after if they need anything or have any questions or issues. She did not respond, if she thought the mirror wasn't clean I would have sent the housekeeper over for her. She told me she left because there was nothing to do in the area. We are in the lakes region on the biggest vacation week, Lake Winnipesaukee, restaurants, hiking Weirs Beach etc I've never had any guests say there was nothing to do. The house is cute and yes updated with a new kitchen , bathroom all new flooring , paint furniture, I'm not sure what she was expecting as its exactly as advertised. I'm sorry she did not enjoy her stay. Some people are hard to please , not sure what I could have done to make her happy .

Cute house - exactly as advertised. It's best for couples, although I shared it with my nephew who slept on the couch. Easy communication with host and there were no absurd "cleaning" requirements upon check-out. Perfect for our stay.Just a head's up that we stayed for some shows at the BNH Pavilion. The property is within walking distance (just over a mile away), however, the last half mile on the way home is on a dark road. We ended up driving half way and parking in an off-site lot on the second night (that helped us avoid both traffic at the venur and the darker walk home).

Very comfortable place to stay over the long weekend (Fri-Sun). NeRby is great hiking trails and plenty of stores if you need anything. Only about 5 minute drive if you're going to a show at Bank NH Pavilion. Owner checked in with us a few times asking if we needed anything. Highly recommend and there are 3 places next to each other here to stay at. Great place and great hospitality.

Cute little cottage close to everything

Nice cottage but wonderful hosts! Susan was always available to answer any questions and provide recommendations during our stay. The cottage is close to everything. We went on beautiful hikes just minutes away. This place is great for pet owners. The fenced backyard was a great touch for my pups. Thanks Susan and Dutch!
