    The host was responsive and warm. The house was thoughtfully designed for a single family or multiple. 3 generously sized “chill” spaces and a cozy nook for the younger ones.

    The host, Charles, was very welcoming, accommodating and responsive when we had questions. The house was as depicted and very comfortable. It was well stocked and included thoughtful items not normally provided in other VRBOs we've stayed at. There were 4 of us and everyone felt the same. The inclement weather on one day changed our plans, but only made us appreciate the house that much more.

    From start to finish our stay was delightful. Our host, Charlie, was friendly, accessible and informative. The home was beautiful, clean, well equipped, nothing was left to the imagination. He and Kayla literally thought of everything. The kitchen was well equipped, and they provided so many little conveniences that no other place we’ve stayed at even thought of providing. The location of their home was quiet, peaceful and felt remote, but was very convenient to the little town of Meredith. My husband & I were initially unsure about the location being on the river rather than Lake Wakewan itself but the views were stunning. Unfortunately, due to a drought, the water levels were very low along the river/canal making it a challenge if you wanted to canoe or kayak. We were 4 adults visiting but if you brought children, the hosts provided lots of games and activities for the kids as well. We truly enjoyed our stay at Riverview Haven. Thank you Charlie & Kayla for sharing this beautiful home.

    Charlie and Kayla’s place was just what our family needed this summer! Not only were the views amazing with a short walk to the water for paddle boarding, but the inside was beautifully decorated, clean, and had everything our family needed to make packing easier. It was very obvious that a lot of thoughtfulness was put into every space of this beautiful home. Traveling with a baby is challenging, but Riverview Haven had everything we would ever need for a comfortable stay, including high chair, pack n play, dishes, baby gates, etc. Charlie was very easy to communicate with and quick to respond to any questions we had. Everything you would need is only about a 10 minute drive away (groceries, gym, doggie day care, restaurants, etc.). Our family will surely be back to visit next time we’re in New Hampshire! Book Charlie and Kayla’s place; you won’t regret it!

    Cannot say enough positive things about our stay - we are so glad we found this listing.We came up for some hiking, fishing and just to take a much needed break with our kids. From our first inquiry, we were well looked after and had so much local help and knowledge planning our visit from the hosts. You can really tell Charlie and kayla care about guests having a great experience. We fished from the private dock and canoes - the local shop in Meredith, Fish Tails, had everything we needed to get going including permits which was a simple process.The setting was incredibly peaceful, allowing us to truly disconnect and enjoy nature. It was also a fantastic place for families—the home is spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped for all ages (especially the kitchen for cooking meals for large groups). The kids loved the hidden bookcase and generally having the basement living room space to themselves while the adults were mostly in the second living room upstairs.If you’re looking for a serene getaway with gorgeous scenery, this is the place to be. We can’t wait to come back! Highly recommend!

    We wanted a to get away from the hussle of everyday work life - this home gave us just that! The host was great, responsive and resourceful. The home its self was fully equipped with everything, we had our 10 and 15 year old the space for Perfect, one took over the basement the other was happy in her own room. The view from the primary bedroom was gorgeous to look at. At night sitting other deck listening to nature and star gazing was Perfect. Not much of a yard space but just walking distance to a dock where a canoe is provided my husband caught great size bass. It’s a perfect getaway home I would absolutely recommend. Location is driving distance to the center shops and restaurants.

    Our group came for a winter adventure and had an incredible time. We spent one day skiing and tubing with the kids at gunstock which is literally right down the road and another day at Loon. The house is really well situated Waterville Valley and Tenney are also nearby too. The ski mudroom at the house was beyond impressive truly unlike anything we’ve seen before. It was just one of the many thoughtful features that made this property stand out. We were so glad we found it!We also tried ice fishing during our stay, which was a unique and memorable experience. There’s a great level of bait and tackle shop in Meredith called fishtails. The staff there was incredibly knowledgeable and got it set up with everything we needed. To top it off, like walk along as can be located right at the end of the driveway!Our host clearly put so much care into making sure our family had a memorable stay. Their attention to detail and thoughtfulness really showing through. We can’t wait to come back on highly recommend this place to anyone!

    This was our 1st Christmas from home, my mom passed last March and we decided to get away. We enjoyed this lovely house and went snow mobiling,snow tubing and enjoyed the shopping and restaurants. This is a vacation we will always treasure . The owners of this house are lovely people they truly want you to enjoy your stay. Charlie and Kayla really thought of everything you would need while on vacation. I highly recommend this for a vacation house. We've stayed at many other vacation houses over the years and this house was the nicest and best equipped house we ever stayed at, not to mention the best hosts also.

    Just imagine that you just got into town to visit friends. You have never been to this town before but they have a place for you to stay. They have taken care of everything you need at said place. All you have to do is just be there. You arrive to find the most peaceful, tucked stay in plain sight, house. One that you can tell has been updated with love and attention to detail. Those little touches immediately make you feel at home. That is exactly how our family felt at this amazing place! We are a family of 6 from Alabama. We took our kids here for their fall break. It was such a perfect spot! The house was centrally located between everything we wanted to do in New Hampshire. It had plenty of room for all of us too! Anything you might be in need of, it was there on day one! And the host and hostess, your friends in this scenario…yeah, they have written down their favorite places to eat for every meal, their tried and true area attractions… any helpful information you could possibly need is right there. If for some reason you can’t find something you need…your friends are on call to help. That is exactly what this stay felt like. It was truly a magical get away in one of the most GORGEOUS parts of our country!! We can’t wait to go again! I HIGHLY recommend staying here and having Charlie and his wife be your friends there. 😊
