The not-so-good: We arrived 15 minutes early, and were greeted by "We're still cleaning." Luckily we were able to use the bathrooms, but dogs were not allowed in. We waited another 25 minutes for the cleaning lady to finish. The cottage was clean, but smaller than i anticipated. The microwave didn't work, and we called the owner about it - she said they would send someone to fix or replace it, but no one ever came. She and her husband were extremely nice. The dock was broken, when you walked out onto the main deck, one of the legs was gone, so it slanted down to the rgt, it was almost dangerous with my nephew. The longer dock, isn't really anchored down to anything, so it floats, which was also a little tough to walk on - especially when boats drove by which created a decent wake. The rooms are set up strange - There's a master br (the largest room) and the 2nd largest is ATTACHED to the master. Beds are uncomfortable (but parents said the master was comfy) So you would have to walk through someones room to get to it. Might not be an issue for some, but i didn't want to share a br with my parents. (ages 28/30). Also the walls are paper thin, so if you're looking for privacy - this is not the place! Oh and every time we used the grill, it set the fire alarms off - i think the grill just needs to be cleaned. Also, seems picky, but the door that leads out to the water, the handle kept falling off, and every time we tried to close, its like a magic touch trying to get it shut, it was just a daily annoyance.
The good: the property was in a really pretty, semi-private location in NH. There was a beautiful, large dining room for my family and I to all be able to sit for dinner, with a great view of the lake, with a decent size kitchen for cooking. The cottage had Netflix, which was great for watching movies at night with the family. There's not too much around, but there is a grocery store and some restaurants about 15 minutes away. Also, seems trivial, but there's a great Bose speaker system that you can plug your iphone/phone into to play music out the windows, which was awesome. The bathrooms were newly renovated and clean with plenty of towels and beach towels for use.
There was a fire pit with six chairs for us to sit around, which was nice. There are some great railroad trails around for dirt biking and walking. They also have 4 kayaks, a canoe, & floatys which was nice! Overall good experience, relaxing, but pricey.
