A touch of Serenity
Linda was wonderful in her review of the property and was very accommodating in all aspects of our stay. The cottage was well equipped and very comfortable including the mattress. We enjoyed the lake and a little fishing. The area is very nice and we did some exploring. It was very quiet and we rarely even saw anyone while we were on the lake. We hope to return in the spring or summer. Many thanks to Linda and Brad

We were looking for a private retreat in the NH woods
The description in Vrbo matched what we found & other than the rain we had a great time. We spent a good deal of our time out on the water in the provided kayaks,floats, motor boats & swimming. The water will appear brown but it is clear. It is this color because of the type of tree rooots that ring this very large pond that is only 10 ft deep. Lots of fish! We saw a bald eagle,heron,heard loons. Very private, never saw anyone else. Great basecamp for hiking, biking, going to restaurants. Several nearby towns have movies,libraries,groceries & laundromat. Limited shopping for gifts. We would go back!

A wonderful secluded gem
We stayed here 4 nights and loved it. We basically had the lake to ourselves the entire time, and we were there on labor day. If you're looking for fishing, kayaking, grilling, time in the woods, and relaxing ... it doesn't get better than this. Brad and Linda were wonderful hosts as well.

Second Visit in Three Months and We'll Be Back Again!
You won't meet lovelier hosts or stay at a more calm and peaceful place anywhere! Such a hidden gem of a spot. Just into New Hampshire, we didn't have to travel far from Mass, yet we got every good thing NH has to offer! The foliage was at its peak. It was BEAUTIFUL! We kayaked and rowboated. We campfired. We put cushions all over the dock and watched the sunset and then waited for wildlife to come out. We ate at Emma 321 and were delighted! We shopped at the Shed Barn Thrift Shop and the Dollar General and had a blast, meeting friendly and interesting people at every turn. This sweet little cabin has everything you need and more. We went in July, then October, and we can't wait for our next visit!!! 5 million thumbs up for this place and her wonderful and gracious hosts. :)

Wonderful Cabin
This is an extraordinary place to stay. Plenty of room for a couple like us and our dog. It Is very clean, well furnished, especially in the kitchen, has an excellent view of the lake, and is set in a beautiful rural landscape. We were provided with many boats to use. Our favorite was the large rowboat, which we could use to tour the lake whenever we wanted to. Our hosts lived nearby, but protected our privacy, yet were always available when we needed them. We strongly recommend this cabin for people who want a real country place with real privacy.

Lovely lakeside cottage
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Brad and Linda were lovely, communicative hosts and provided plenty of information about the area, safety on the lake, and accommodations. The cabin is secluded and cozy, with tons of amenities for campfires, outdoor games, fun on the lake (we loved the kayaks!), and rainy day activities inside. We had a blast, and our dogs loved it, too!
