Amazing place
1st of all this place has everything you forgot! They literally thought of everything. We were here in the fall and just the scenery alone was worth it.The hosts were incredible they are quick to respond and so helpful. Never in our travels have we encountered such kind professional hosts this makes everything easier when traveling! The house was clean and has it all, books, games, our family enjoyed this home. Should we ever return to New Hampshire this is where we will be staying!!

A Perfect Getaway
Our stay here in Aug 2024 was truly a perfect getaway! The house is beautiful. I spent so much time just gazing out the windows at the lake. Great bird watching! So many thoughtful touches to make the house the feel more cozy, from the baskets of blankets to the convenient charging ports. Charles and Kayla were wonderful to work with. We were in touch from booking all the way through checkout, and even a few days later to see if we had any suggestions. (We did suggest a couple of little things, like adjustable kayak paddles, and Charles ordered them that very day! Very responsive!) They really care about giving you the best possible experience during your stay. Feel free to tell them a little about your trip in advance. They might just be able to fine tune a few things to make your stay even more special. (Having my dad's favorite music playing when we arrived was such a classy touch!) The location is far enough "off the beaten path" that it feels like you can really leave your cares behind. But thankfully, it's still just a short drive into town. There were plenty of restaurants for when we wanted to dine out and everything we needed at the Hannaford for when we wanted to dine in. Taking the kayaks and canoes out on the lake was definitely one of the highlights for my family! But so was spending quality time in the house. Whether it was sharing a meal, playing games, watching a movie, or reading a book, we felt very much at home. We highly recommend this place!

Awesome! Highly recommended!!
Myself, my husband and another couple stayed as we had a wedding to attend that weekend and luckily found this location. The place was Gorgeous and the hosts go above and beyond to make your stay great. When we arrived the music was set to what we like to listen to as host had Inquired about this prior. The listing matches the home. The amenities were included along with extra of things we may have missed. The host was always available to assist with any questions. Everything was labeled in the kitchen which helped a lot for convenience. The lighting outside In the walkway was automatic which was perfect for late night returns. Check in and check out was Super easy and convenient as well. It’s clear the hosts know how to treat there guests. Not to mention they think of everything from having umbrellas available or if needed bug spray dog bags etc as well as to use to a playroom downstairs of games. This definitely had fancy hotel vibes in a beautiful rustic homey way. I have been to many others places and this was above and beyond our expectations. Thanks for a wonderful stay and hoping to come back again!

Home away from home…but better
The best VRBO we have ever stayed at. Hosts communicated politely, quickly, and informatively. The house itself was straight out of a designer magazine. Every room we walked into got a big WOW!! The 3 levels made it easy to spread out and not be underfoot. Our party was 8 members from 12-75 years old and it fit us with plenty of room to spare! The kids/teens had the best time in their own space downstairs. Throughout the whole house were little extras that you wouldn’t even get at a 5 star resort such as chargers next to each bed, bowls of candy and popcorn, smoothie blender, drink mixers, ground coffee, and medical essentials that were so appreciated after a day out on the beautiful lake. No expense was spared on this brand new home. All you need to bring are your clothes and everything else is right at your fingertips. We can’t wait to come back again because it made vacationing so easy!!

Perfect Getaway!
I had such a great time during my stay! I went with my friends and my dog, it can be so hard to find a pet friendly place to bring your dog to stay so that was a big bonus for me! Charles and Kayla were responsive and easy to reach. They provide great instructions for accessing the home and check in/out were a breeze! The location of this home is perfect, it’s just secluded enough but also so close to many great places to visit and lots of restaurants. You could take a trip to the ski mountains in the winter or enjoy many of the lakes all year round. I don’t have any children but there were so many unique accents built into this house that would be so great for kids - I would highly recommend for a family vacation house! You can tell there was a lot of thought and love put into the way this home was designed. Charles and Kayla truly thought of everything you might need for your stay and the home was incredibly clean and well taken care of. I’ll be back for sure!

The best spot for a family getaway!
You can tell Charlie and kayla are both parents - they really did think of everything, even the small details to cater for a family getaway. Our kids loved the hidden bunk bed room behind the bookshelf door especially! All the games, books and toys kept them busy and we all loved the peaceful location by the river/lake. Highly recommend this to others.
