    Hosts were very accommodating, friendly, and always ready to make our stay hassle-free. House was right on the lake, making it ideal for viewing incredible sunsets. House was very clean and uniquely decorated, making for a cozy stay.

    House was very cozy and well-located right on the lake. Karen and John were super hosts…very accommodating and flexible, helped up with a TV issue, made great suggestions for things to do and places to go. Really great.

    Very comfortable and bright waterfront cottage with vintage charm. We are thankful to hosts, Karen & John for sharing their lovely property with us. Communication was easy and never needed to contact them for anything during our stay as they provide everything you could need and more! Very easy in and out for our pontoon with their on site boat ramp and dock space. We'll be back!

    My husband and I, along with our pup, had an incredible time during our stay on Karen and John’s property. They were so kind and considerate, always available to communicate when needed, and overall amazing hosts. The home was very clean and well maintained, as well as the outdoor space and dock. We are already planning to book again! For a couple and a dog, along with some day time guests, it exceeded our expectations.

    We stayed during bike week 2025, unintentionally. It was not a problem with noise of the bikes. The property was well cared for and had ample lawn space. The dock was perfect and boat ramp fine for our boat. It is your typical New England camp, which is what my husband and I grew up with. The two queen sized beds and a shower is all we really needed as we were on the lakes most of the time! Karen was a very kind host.

    Karen and John were amazing hosts! The house was just perfect for our little family and small dog. We were greeted with fun activity books, sidewalk chalk and bubbles for my daughter… a bottle of wine, fire wood, fixings for s’mores and even a new toy for my dog! They were attentive, available when we needed them and so very kind to me and my family. The kayaks and water toys kept my daughter entertained for hours. We were able to bring our boat and had our own dock space for the entire time we were there. Everything about our stay at this property was perfect. Thank you Karen and John for your hospitality and making us feel so welcome. Our vacation was just as we hoped it would be! We hope to see you again next year.

    We fell in love with the location and view when we visited the cottage two summers ago. The second time did not disappoint. In addition to all that the lake has to offer, the beautiful White Mountains are less than an hour away. And the hosts are wonderful!

    The location of this home is perfect. Views from the deck and the master bedroom are amazing. The beach is large and gradual and would be great for kids. The owners are on site and the best - they offered help with anything we might have needed. The home is perfect for a couple or a couple and 2 children. 2 AC units and numerous ceiling fans were so nice to have. We hope to stay again next year. Highly recommend!

    The cabin was cute and clean. It fit what we needed perfectly as we were there for a sporting event and to explore the area. Unfortunately the weather didnt cooperate withbus to be able to use the amenities provided (it was cold and rainy while we visited).

    Great location. Near everything. Karen and John are great hosts and very responsive when needed (not often). House was clean with everything you may need. Groceries, ice cream, takeout are all within 2 miles. Short trip trip to Laconia and Meredith. Loved being on the no wake area of the lake since we have a small boat and we could keep it at the dock without worrying about it banging into the dock. Great for fishing. My husband caught several small mouth - biggest was 3.11 not far from the house. Will definitely be back. Thanks Karen and John
