    My husband and I and our dog enjoyed our stay very much! The cottage was so clean with plenty of room for us. Very well stocked with kitchen items for those who want to cook a meal in. Location was perfect. Walking distance to the local beach. Close to a wonderful farmer’s market and the town of Meredith. Overall, a very cute and comfortable cottage! Don’t hesitate to rent this cottage! You won’t be disappointed!

    Our family had a great stay at the cottage! We stayed for a week and found that the house had everything we needed! It was super cute and had comfortable beds- we enjoyed the location (so close to the beach!) and the fire pit. Sarah was very communicative and helpful. We would definitely stay again.

    Sarah and John are excellent hosts. The house was clean, comfortable and so nicely furnished. We had 7 adults and plenty of space. It was good to have the laundry onsite too. We had to contact Sarah and John right away about a small appliance issue and their response, and timely fix was so appreciated. They were very generous. The location to the beach could only have been better if the house was lakefront. It was a short, easy walk. The beach is clean and the water was wonderful. Our dog learned to love the water! Thanks for a wonderful vacation!!

    We loved our time in Meredith at this cozy home in the woods. Plenty of outdoor space to hang and a three minute walk to the beautiful beach. Great spot!
