We absolutely loved our stay here. The home was spotless, inviting, and a perfect home base for exploring around the lake. It was close enough to everything that we took a one hour drive to Ogunquit Maine one day. The views of the lake were incredible. Our family and our dog were very happy here. I would absolutely stay here again.

Perfect spot for a little getaway. It's the little touches that matter, snacks, bottles of water, decor, fresh cut flowers and clear instructions for the hot tub, wifi, and checkout. The house is very clean and well taken care of. Be careful of the rugs as you enter, they do slip quite a bit, an under rug anti slip pad would be perfect for that. Also, be aware that the water pressure can dip while other faucets are running or toilets flush. Overall, I would stay there again.

Relaxing stay on a quiet road with a nice view of the lake. We skied at Gunstock which is about 15 minutes away. Host is easy to communicate with and there were a lot of extra little touches in the house. Everything was very clean. Thanks for a great stay!

We had a wonderful stay in Alton Bay. The house was warm and cozy and all of the amenities we needed. There were also several thoughtful touches, like a bowl of snack size chips, as well as toiletries and even robes. The hot tub was amazing after a day of skiing. The host, Israel was very communicative, friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend this home in any season! We will definitely be back.

My family had a great time at this house! My kids are 6 and 8 and they had the whole loft to themselves which they loved. The space was very clean and any questions were answered by the host immediately. The view from the back deck is amazing where we enjoyed our coffee each morning!It was a short drive to Ellacoya State Park for the beach/swimming and even shorter drive to Irwin Marina for boat rentals. Highly recommend
