Perfect weekend
From start to finish we had such an amazing stay. The property was even better than advertised, the pictures although gorgeous cannot capture what the property is. We will be renting again as everyone had such a great time. We were close enough to see what we wanted to see but honestly we could have stayed at the property the entire time there was plenty to do and see. Looking forward to returning!!

Amazing week away
Can’t even put into words of how perfect this house is. The home is fully equipped with everything you need for a fun and relaxing vacation. Truly feels like a home away from home with comfortable furniture and beds, necessary appliances, indoor and outside games, and more. It is very private, yet close to many different attractions and things to do. It was the perfect size for our family of 6 adults and 1 child (could easily sleep even more). The house had many different things to do, see, and places to relax. You can tell the home is truly loved and cared for. The home was extremely clean, and the owners were responsive and had great hospitality. Thank you for sharing your Happy Place with us, we can confidently say it served as our Happy Place as well for the week. Will definitely be renting here again!

Beautiful Lakefront Getaway
We enjoyed our stay at this lovely lakefront home! The house is big, clean, comfortable, and very well maintained, and the outdoors is amazing - beautiful and with lots of spots to relax on the porch, in the hammocks, and of course on the beach. We appreciated how quiet and peaceful the lake is, it made our trip really feel like a getaway. We also had a fun time trying out the different boats. Paul and Lynn communicated everything very clearly, and everything is labeled in the house which is super helpful. We wished we could have stayed longer and would definitely come back!

Amazing family vacation
What a fabulous home, property, and host! Paul was a prompt, thoughtful, warm communicator from the time of our booking nearly a year before our arrival. We appreciated his willingness to answer our nuanced questions.
The home was beautiful, light-filled, and spotless. It was extremely well stocked with toiletries, towels, dishes, cookware to make full meals, and so much more. He really thought of everything. Additionally, we can’t thank Paul enough for the thoughtful touches, like the S’mores treat. The kids absolutely loved them - almost as much as they adored being able to play in the water and on the private sandy beach. The views of and cool breeze fromMarch’s pond were extraordinary. We can’t wait to return to this one-of-a-kind wooded paradise. Thank you for everything, Paul!

Relaxing Waterfront Getaway- 5 stars!
Really beautiful home on the water that was quiet, spacious and very clean. Plenty of space for our two families and Nana! Really enjoyed the pool table, the two TVs (we had the Olympics on both of them!) the beach and all of the boats! Very helpful to have everything labeled. The beds were really comfortable. Paul was easy to communicate with and very responsive. Everyone loved the back porch. Hope to return for another visit next year.

Best vacation ever
This gorgeous house on a beautiful lake has everything you could ask for for a perfect vacation getaway. The clean, sandy private beach is perfect for kids and adults to swim and enjoy the canoes, paddle boat and paddle boards that are provided by the hosts. There are not one but two hammocks by the water, and plenty of cozy seating inside for everyone to find a spot, and on the porch for viewing the incredible sunsets over the lake. Paul and Lynn were highly responsive before and during the stay and made sure that everything was perfect at their Happy Place. Kids enjoyed the pool table and the crayons and s'mores supplies that they provided. We hope to stay here again in the future!

Beautiful and serene getaway!
A group of friends and I stayed at this property and we were beyond thrilled with the stunning location, gorgeous, clean and comfortable place. Every morning we woke up to have our coffee on the porch facing the lake. It is close to lake winnipesaukee and not too far from Portsmouth if you wanted to make the trip. Mostly we enjoyed cooking in and relaxing. The host was fantastic. Very proactive with communication and booking through them was easy. Highly recommend this little piece of paradise for a relaxing getaway.
