A Cozy Getaway!

We had a great stay! The property was clean, well-maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing trip. The check-in and check-out process was simple and straightforward.We hiked Blue Job Mountain and checked out a few local spots to eat nearby. While the weather didn’t fully cooperate, we made the most of it with board games, cards, and catching the NBA playoffs — all while spending quality time with friends.Thanks again for a great experience. Would definitely recommend!

Peaceful and beautiful spot

Perfect spot for our friendship getaway. Just as advertised with no surprises. Comfortable beds, stocked supplies and outdoor amenities. 3 private spaces with a large common area perfect for our party of 5. Our first trip to NH - and we can’t wait to get back. Would stay in this same house all over again.

New Hampshire in the Fall

We were very pleased with our stay. Ron was quick to respond to our questions. When we walked into the house the first thing we noticed was the beautiful view and how clean it was. We had everything we needed for our stay. The beds we’re comfortable and the setup for two couples was great. Thank you again for making our visit to New Hampshire so special.

This lake house is an absolute paradise. We went swimming every day, there are great places to cycle, and the house is equipped with everything you could ever need. The owners are friendly and super helpful too! It was a quick drive from Boston and incredibly relaxing. All I have to say to the host is thank you for the fantastic week :)

Beautiful lake house..

We enjoyed our stay at Ron's house. It was spacious and very well equipped with everything you may need. The location was perfect with beautiful views. The kayaks and paddle board were a great bonus. Although there were quite a few motor boats in the small lake causing large waves, we still managed to get a lot of kayaking done. We will definitely come back.

Great Lake House!

Overall layout of the house was great and it was very clean. There were amazing views of the lake and lots of comfy places to sit indoors or outside to enjoy the view or curl up with a good book. Kids enjoyed kayaking and paddle boarding and having s’mores and drinks by the fire was a great way to end each day. Owners were quick to respond when we had a question and they provide a lot of nice little touches that make it feel very homey. Would definitely recommend!
